At the annual Houston RenFest weâd always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin to âBEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!âÂ
Last time I went a furry volunteered for an impromptu conversion/exorcism and a guy dressed as a monk gathered a bunch of people and using a Gatorade bottle performed an entire catholic christening while reading off the instructions on his Ipad. When the furry was fully âconvertedâ he removed the head of his costume and everyone in the crowd pretended to freak out and say shit like âGlORY BE HE IS SAVEDâ âCHRIST HAS BROKEN HIS CURSEâ
Youâve been criticizing yourself for years and it hasnât worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.

Tip of the day:
You do not have to wait until youâre SEEN as your gender to LIVE as your gender.
Christopher: A woman? Kirk: A crewman.
OH LOOK AT THAT THE 1960S
AND SHEâS IN COMMAND GOLD FUCKERS.
Sheâs not in Medical blue, a caretaking, feminine role. Â
Those in Gold were either OFFICERS, NAVIGATORS, PILOTS, TACTICAL OFFICERS, or WEAPONS SPECIALISTS. Â
This is the Kirk everyone likes to forget.
Yâall, if you care about feminism, then you ought to care about the history and context of the miniskirt. The 60s were an era of rebellion against the 50s, and the skirts were part of it. They were literally cutting edge fashion, and a statement that women made against the more housewifey style of skirt from the decade before. It was Grace Lee Whitney herself who suggested to Roddenberry that they wear them, and Nichelle Nichols has said she never had a problem with them. They are a product of their time yes, but the women chose to wear them because of the context of that time.Â
Also some men in Starfleet ware miniskirts and dresses:
And some of the women wear pants:
Theyâre given the power of choice, regardless of gender or sex.
Shit â-â None of this even clicked to me - Thats fucking glorious :D
Picard in that dress is so good. Look at him! He looks formal and serious and dignified! He looks like heâs captain of his ship and heâs got some important business to do. And heâs in a dress and tights. And itâs not a joke. Itâs not a joke about a man in a dress! Itâs just, you know, a man who is wearing a dress, and thatâs normal and appropriate. Itâs part of the uniform. It fits him. Itâs totally unremarkable and that is so rare and Iâm so happy.
Technically, what Picard was wearing was not a choiceâthatâs the TNG era Full Dress Uniform. Itâs what all Starfleet officers wore to formal events.
@excessively-english-jd
Yep! The Starfleet minidress is a unisex uniform, and as mentioned, Picard is wearhing a formal Full Dress uniform. I have a book about TNG that shows their concept sketches of the uniform options, and they mention that the minidress is unisex.
Mom: I have a really hard time referring to you using he/him pronouns because you're just so feminine, not masculine at all
Me: you use he/him pronouns for our cat
Me: so are you saying our cat is the pinnacle of masculinity
Mom: ...
Me: just think about that for a while
you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put âyou absoluteâ in front of it
example: you absolute coat hanger
as well u can just add âedâ to any object and itâs sounds like you were really drunk
example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night
#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled
Meanwhile, âutterâ works for the first (e.g., âyou utter floorboardâ) but somehow âutterlyâ doesnât seem to work as well for the second (âI was utterly floorboardedâ).
Utterly doesnât work for drunk because itâs the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.
⊠huh.  I thought that might just be the similarity to âflooredâ, and yet âI was utterly coat hangeredâ does seem to convey something similar.
I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.
Completely makes the phrase mean âsuper tiredâ.
âGod, itâs been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.â
Something is
Something is wrong with our language
Is it a glitch or a feature?
Feature
this neat feature is called collocative substitution, and it occurs when certain words are strongly linked to certain context and/or phrases. when you read/hear a pair of words that usually wouldnât go together, your brain fills in the context with what would normally be inferred, given the originally phrased pairing. thus, finding out that thereâs a term for this phenomenon may indeed leave you utterly sandwiched. lesser known or less strongly linked phrases and pairings may not be able to translate substituted words to appropriately fit the inferred context, so you were not utterly floorboarded at the club last night, but rather you were absolutely floorboarded, and as this explanation continues to drag on, you may by the end of it find yourself completely coathangered from read it all.
I, like all linguists I have met or even heard of, have a deep intricate love-hate relationship with the English Language because of complete and total coathangering like this
Hey I was just studying this last week! Itâs also a thing in Spanish đ

me: haha oh god this is so bad im making so many unsupported claims and pulling all this analysis out of my ass
my prof in the margins: excellent analysis!
me:Â
when i was in high school i used to write my papers thinking wow iâm just bullshitting all of this. then like a week before my senior year ended after all the grades were set, i was talking to my english teacher and told him you know i just bullshitted every paper i wrote. he told me that while i may have thought i was just pulling it all out of my ass, i genuinely knew what i was talking about and made well-supported analyses. i only thought i was bullshitting because it didnât take much effort and it all seemed obvious to me. if you do well on your essays even though you think youâre just making it up as you go, chances are youâre not pulling it out of your ass. youâre just a genuinely talented analyst, even if the analysis that youâre making comes from a subconscious understanding of the material rather than a conscious effort to study it. give yourself some credit.Â
anything you pull out of your ass had to get there somehow
Anything you pull out of your ass had to get there somehow
Whenever someone asks me how to write a good essay, my go-to piece of advice is âyou have to bullshit itââand itâs been the advice I say since high school.
But honestly, yeah, bullshitting within itself is a form of analysis because you still have to justify what youâre claiming, and if youâre making things up as you go, you can add new insight to a topic your professors are probably pretty familiar with. Youâre still writing good things that feel enlightening, even if you feel like youâre just pulling it out of your ass.

WHAT. GOOD. DOGS.
I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldnât it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.
He stops and looks both ways?!?
You wanna know what makes this better?
Crows normally walk. This one seems to have both legs working, so heâs not hopping out of necessity, heâs doing it for fun. Corvids can sometimes be seen doing things like this for no evident reason other than enjoyment.
heâs just havin a good day
Itâs pretty evident that people use gender conformity to determine which bi people are âactually gayâ or âactually straight.â A bi man wearing a crop top and makeup will have his attraction to women dismissed because itâs âobviousâ he is gay. A bi woman who is more traditionally feminine will have her attraction to women dismissed because it is âobviousâ she is straight.
Gender conforming bi people arenât straight.
Gender nonconforming bi people arenât gay. Even when they are really gender nonconforming.
Believe people when they say they are bi.
May I add âplease believe people when they say theyâre pan and not suggest theyâre bi please?â Like please. I called myself pan. I trusted you with that information, donât tell me Iâm not what I say I am. Only I know that.
This could obviously apply to any identity too.
