Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.

I'm gonna start saying "especially non binary ppl" when talking about trans issues. Trans people are really struggling, especially non binary ppl, because we're treated like jokes and freaks in our own communities. I'm kind of sick and tired of things being "especially" about everyone else but us

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

Non binary people are treated like the scapegoats of the trans community, everything is our fault. We're too loud, to assertive, too annoying, too cringe. Too out there, we are visibly trans a lot of the time, and that pisses people the fuck off because we like it and it's a part of our gender identity and expression. We are just as oppressed and face just as much violence as everyone else

[soulsartuniverse]

#passing refers to making our transness invisible

I am NOT letting you leave this in the tags prev it is so true. Non binary people cant pass because there is no way to pass for us. Passing as ANY GENDER is getting misgendered because it means others assuming we're binary people, and we're not.

One of the first feelings of dysphoria I got was the feeling of "everyone else will perceive me as a binary gender first and there is nothing I can do about it" and I wanted to stop existing at all, to stop having a body and stop being perceived so no one would dictate my identity for me.

Non binary people arent taken seriously on our own oppression, in talking about trans issues we're an afterthought, because if they cant categorize us then they refuse to talk about us. Binary people, cis and trans, get annoyed when we add onto a conversation with our non binary perspective, when we ask to be included in their talks about trans liberation and fighting against gender essentialism. We complain too much and we're too weird and too cringe, we cant use terms like transfem and transmasc without everyone assuming we're basically binary trans people, and binary trans people are so busy pitting transfem and transmasc as opposites while also saying "oh but we include non binary people!" No you dont, your inclusion is only for monogender enben whose gender is static and aligned with the binary. Because talking about only the existance of transfem and transmasc as two opposite exclusive sides is exorsexist as hell.

And dont get me started on how we dont fucking have LANGUAGE, there are so many languages that have no pronouns or neutral words to refer to people, existing in your native country means being misgendered.

We're either misgendered and invisible or misgendered and hypervisible. And people love to either act like we dont exist, or like we're basically binary cis or trans so there's no need to put effort in accounting for us.

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

It's literally horrific. If you're binary, at the very least there is language for you, and others to understand who you are.

[soulsartuniverse]

It really is, I relate so much. Im italian and coming out as non binary isnt an option because there's no gender neutral terms, no gender neutral pronouns, so even in having a supportive family I cant come out to them, because what would change?

And non binary as an identity, not to mention the genders under that umbrella, are not known and there are no words for it. I cant call myself a boygirl or multigender or transmascfem in italian because the words dont exist. I cant even call myself non binary because the word is not a gender identity, it's not something people would know or have heard of or understand.

The people around me know binary trans people exist! Not once have they ever been confronted with ANYTHING even vaguely related to non binary people. Do they know what that is? No clue.

Im not saying binary trans people have it easy in explaining their identity, because no they dont at all, but there's a difference between explaining how your gender identity isnt the binary gender others expect it to be, just the other one, and between going Im actually both the genders you think are mutually exclusive, or neither of the two genders you think exist, or a third gender that youve never even thought could exist, or fluctuating between multiple genders or- etc etc.

A non binary issue is knowing the people close to you support trans people, women and men, but because non binary people are never talked about, you have no idea if they even know of their existence, and that coming out isnt an option *even in a safe space* because even then, no one can help but misgender you anyway. There's no way for anyone to be supportive or acknowledge your identity.

Sorry this turned in a bit of my own feelings getting mixed up, but the core is, to who left those tags and all the other non binary people stuck in binary societies with binary languages, whose native language cannot account for their existence, who can only find their identities and names and language in a second or third language like english: I promise you, you're not alone. We'll make things better, a little at a time <3

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?"

"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."

After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"

"This, too, is magic."

The way I love hot pot, I would act a fool in that place

[anarchblr]

“We can see perfectly well that it would be more economical to cook broth for a hundred families at once, instead of lighting a hundred separate fires. We know, besides, that there are a thousand ways of doing up potatoes, but that cooked in one huge pot for a hundred families they would be just as good.

We know, in fact, that variety in cooking being a matter of the seasoning introduced by each cook or housewife, the cooking together of a hundred weight of potatoes would not prevent each cook or housewife from dressing and serving them in any way she pleased. And we know that stock made from meat can be converted into a hundred different soups to suit a hundred different tastes.

[..] And when the communal kitchen — the common bakehouse of the future — is established, and people can get their food cooked without the risk of being cheated or poisoned, the custom will no doubt become general of going to the communal kitchen for the fundamental parts of the meal, leaving the last touches to be added as individual taste shall suggest.”

If I were a vampire, I would run a full campaign of every rpg.

All of them. The big ones, the small ones, the infamously terrible ones, the obscure ones like twenty people have ever heard of.

I will find them all, and we will have a full 30 session campaign of every single goddamn one.

Vampires playing Vampire the Masequerade is for some reason the funniest thing to me.

"Stop dumbing down dungeons! More complex mechanics!"

(pulls out a Nerf gun) and how will you respond when players get those mechanics wrong and slow down your run? answer quickly.

[realbrickwall]

This is correct, but if you find yourself having ignored this warning and placed a puzzle rated for children over the age of 5 in your dungeon, the answer is ninjas. Ninjas attack and in the process the mechanic is altered or bypassed as your players lose a few resources.

Replace ninjas with whatever imminent danger fits your situation. A fire can be ninjas for those with a pure heart.

[dice-wizard]

Turns out this one's actually about MMO dungeons, bud, but this is still good advice. Excuse us, OP, we got lost.

[anneapocalypse]

No worries, TTRPG friends, I am one of you as well. 🤝 Thanks for introducing the phrase "A fire can be ninjas for those with a pure heart" to my vocabulary.

the following events ensued:

1. predictable lively discussion on the preparation of Wienerschnitzel, in which natives and wurstaboos are pro-puff and everybody else is like *confused dog head tilt* why wouldn’t you want the crust to stay ~attached to the thing you put it on? as with other fried foods?

2. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my band name” jokes

3. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my stripper name” jokes

4. one “ah yes, Bad Schnitzel! a lovely spa town” joke

5. this absolute masterpiece:
