GUESS WHO TURNED 30 TODAY!

That’s right! The world’s oldest (documented) cat! Her name is Flossie. She was born a stray in Liverpool in late 1995.

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

[apolloendymion]

some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.

[apolloendymion]

benefits of mg:

easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")

ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually

ends in a soft vowel sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)

fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter

distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)

wizard.

drawbacks:

there aren't any

yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.

I had to find this from somewhere and reblog it again because I work at a high school summer camp and told the kids to call me Mg. Day during our first day programming today.

They went NUTS for it! Not only did they love it, but there was an immediate click in understanding about they/them pronouns *from the entire cohort* that I haven’t experienced in 3 years of programming.

And linking it back to the root words Mister and Missus as OP so wonderfully provided helped establish that using they/them or neopronouns isn’t just playing around or “Miss but different” the way it can be with Mx. I used to try to go by Teacher Day because I was still getting she/her’d all the time but that also came with the problems of the students only being able to see me in the role of Teacher and being intimidated by the educational institution and their grades (I don’t even work for the school I’m external staff I don’t even have WiFi access). And I’d still get she/her’d all the time.

As soon as I introduced Magister they saw that a nonbinary person could be an Adult with a *societal* role outside the binary. It was immediately visible in their ecstatic faces. And I didn’t get misgendered today.

The only downside is I’m gonna have to practice my card tricks because I did promise I could do magic!

Hey there! I found a little abandoned kitten today who really needs our help; he’s in rough shape and could use all the love and care we can provide. Every dollar you can donate will make a big difference in his recovery and well-being. If you can, please click the link below to contribute or share it with others who might want to help. Thank you! https://gofund.me/09ea2eb18

Hello all! I'm coming back from the dead to pander for help! I was leaving work the Saturday before last and found a sick kitten. I couldn't possibly leave him, but I've already rescued 7 others, 4 of which I adopted, and my funds are seriously running out. We've had him for a week and a half now, and have already spent $300 on necessities alone. I know times are hard for everyone, and there's soo many fundraisers for much bigger things, but if you have even a dollar to spare, I can not tell you how appreciated it would be. I'll happily pay the cat tax, my lil man is soo cute.

I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

Sister post to The Vitamin

[the-queen-unitato]

Hello! This kind of happened to me! I've spent my life with a severe case of Hashimoto's disease and Grave's disease that caused serious depression and anxiety (and a lot of other things)! I was medically gaslit for close to 20 years, until I finally found a doctor who listened to me and ran actual tests.

I'm on meds now, and the depression is just? Leaving my body? And I can not express to you all the absolute, all-consuming ✨️rage✨️ this has filled me with. I still have bad days, especially as we're figuring out my meds, but I'm just? Mostly okay? And I now have to process that for most of my life, I've struggled with everything, I self-harmed, I lost friendships, I damaged familial relationships, I missed career opportunities, because no one could be bothered to run blood tests.

All of my symptoms (chronic pain, GI issues, memory issues, severe mental health struggles, tremors, heart palpitations) we're written off as anxiety and I was sent home with a pat on the head. My best friend died, and I missed out on years I could have been by her side because of my ever declining mental health. The praise now means nothing. It wasn't worth it. You don't want there to be a magical cure, because it means that everything you went through was for nothing. That you could have been fixed at any point if the people who are supposed to know this stuff just did their job.

I miss my mental illness. I miss thinking that I just needed the right psychiatrist because that was easier to swallow. There is permanent damage to my body because of the 20 years these diseases have been running rampant through my veins. There's permanent damage to my life because no one listened to my symptoms and actually heard me. Everyone's so nice now, 'wow, that must have been so hard', it fucking WAS, and I got called lazy. I was told I was wasting my potential. That if I just worked out and ate healthy, I'd be fine. That all my my suffering was in my head.

Now I'm here, almost 30, exhausted, taking medicine that's slowly killing my liver, getting bloodwork twice a month, because my thyroid hormones have built up so much that if we don't move slowly I could die. I'm living with the knowledge that this could have left me blind. Could have caused cancer. Could have killed me and my baby if I'd gone through with a pregnancy. And I'm supposed to be happy.

"Anything is fine as long as it's legal" is not the sex positive position you think it is. Anything can be criminalised. Anything can be decriminalised.

In some places it's illegal to consensually choke your boyfriend. In other places marital rape is not a crime. Develop a moral compass instead of expecting your government to tell you what is right and wrong.

Fungus has done so much for humanity. Penicillin. Radiation cleanup. Delicious mushrooms. Deadly mushrooms. Psychadelic mushrooms. And now my boy RA has chosen the humble mold spores as his vessel through which to cure cancer.

pretending like the lived experiences of the most marginalized trans people (being jailed, police brutality, homelessness) are just “fearmongering” made to “scare” the most privileged of us out of making choices, instead of treating these people like the real, actual, existing victims of state violence that they are, makes you a stupid weenie and I hate you

[hotsauceintheebag]

The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.

The disdain and hatred for science + adoration of wealth = more deaths from cancer and preventable diseases.

When I was a kid, my mom was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma. She had a very slim chance of making it, but she fought like hell, and she's still here. That was 15 years ago. Now, that's a treatable diagnosis.

I saw what my mom went through, no one should have to experience that kind of pain.

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

[copepods]

@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful

[lintubintu]

one of the most fucked up aspects of being an adult is really how life-goes-on everything is. like you can be dealing with the most fucked up trauma-drama-grief and still have to sleep and eat food to survive and like. poop. pooping while you're really sad shouldn't be a thing but it is. we don't have a say in the matter. life goes on
