Ever since I was a little kid I knew I wanted to grow up and make arguments

#this is true bc one of my earliest memories is asking my mom to argue with me about what this building across the street from us was #like it was a game #and she said no bc i was wrong about what it was #personal

Dont blame yourself for not having known a lesson only time could teach

I get so fucking mad when I think about the "kid space" the fucking architects designed for this building that everyone else was like "yeah seems great!"

I was under the impression we were getting like proper waiting room toys that would mount on the wall and things like that which would be easy to clean and hard to steal. instead I've got 12 cubbies at child height, a peg board for extra storage that goes up to the ceiling for some reason, and three more shelves for fucking. whatever man I don't know. the second shelf is 5 feet off the ground. you know how kids are 5 feet tall??

no art for kids. no furniture for kids. essentially 12 storage cubbies and then half a wall of dead space. y'all literally a quarter of our clients are children I'm so PISSED

I'm actually extremely triggered by being asked to reflect on my behavior and unlearn deeply rooted sexist and racist tendencies. You see I've been coddled like a baby my entire adult life and if you're not niceys to me I'll be forced to join the proud boys. This is a YOU problem btw

the thing about "people have talked about it you're just 21" is that it's not really "young people are stupid" it's more "if you come into an academic discussion you should know what people have said on the matter lest you talk out your ass"

#....except that the original context wasn't an academic discussion but a tweet?#so it's more like poking your head into the personal conversation of a young person and going “lol we already know”#it doesn't have the humor and panache of “we've all seen the time knife” it's just mean #especially since the OP wasn't talking out of their ass! they were saying something many people had observed!#a kinder response to that is “great observation you might like work or so-and-so who explores this”#otherwise you are literally just lording over someone else that you're older.#haven't you ever been new anywhere?

nickname poll

So currently I answer to my full first name (which I usually introduce myself with) as well as two nicknames/diminutives plus my last name when people mistake it for a first name. There are two or three other nicknames I've also gone by in the past. I'm perfectly fine with this, or neutral at minimum-- I have a common name and have had to be flexible with how I'm distinguished for my whole life. I also don't feel a deep and fundamental connection of my name with my identity, though I think going by another name entirely would confuse me.

A number of friends have been appalled at me being called names I don't say are my name. Which is really weird to me, although I'd go to battle for anyone else who was getting either deadnamed or called something they didn't want. But this perspective seems surprisingly common!

How do you feel about being called something other than the name you introduce yourself with?

I think it's fun if people give me (non-derogatory) nicknames or shorten my name

I don't care if people call me something else and will answer to it

I'm mildly uncomfortable or annoyed but won't make an issue of it

I HATE being called something else and will always correct people

Remaining time: 5 days 4 hours

#the one thing I actually don't want to be called is the name on my birth certificate #I always thought I would come to a point where I wanted to use it as a grownup or professional name but never did #it elicits an extremely “you don't know me like that” response from me haha #other than that go crazy

the thing about misogyny is that femininity is both devalued AND forced on women (and those misgendered as women). if you fail to meet the arbitrary standard of Womanly Charm you're ugly and unwanted and hate yourself and if you succeed you're shallow and brainless and weak. if you don't try to conform you're lazy and if you do you're vain. it is not possible to beat this system. feminism needs both "feminine doesn't mean weak or less-than" AND "women don't have to be feminine to have value", and if you are fighting for one of these the people fighting for the other are not your enemies, nor are they privileged over you.

this post is inclusive of trans people, including but not limited to trans women and transfeminine people. exclusionary sentiment is not welcome.

american blackbirds are icterids but european blackbirds are thrushes but american robins are thrushes but european robins are flycatchers and they are named robin because (checks notes) brits in the 1400s called them "robert" on account of they are just some familiar guy who shows up in your yard. hold on post canceled is that really why they are called that? what the fuck. they did this with jackdaws and magpies too? i can't even be annoyed. how human. "who's that? that's bob." fuck dude it sure is.

The prevalence of the coyote as a trickster in American myth, the jackal as a trickster in African myth, and the fox as a trickster in Eurasian myth proves that the Funny Dogy is a staple across cultures
