"passing advice" for trans men that is like "kill your joy and whimsy. you wear baggy neutrals now. you will dress like a 90s grunge band member but you cant accessorize or have hair longer than your ears. plain boxy tshirts only. maybe a flannel but beware you might look like a lesbian if youre not careful. and i have to reiterate: dont you fucking DARE wear a color"

just watched a star trek episode about a planet that relied so heavily on it's computer system that they all forgot the basics of their own knowledge. and that allowed them to miss the fact that they were being posioned with radiation and nearly ending their civilization. because they couldn't use their own knowledge to figure things out. i bring this up for no reason in particular

reading the wiki for the american psycho movie every single thing it’s saying about christian bale has me in tears …….. he literally wanted the role so bad he got that buff in two weeks, rejected every other offer for 9 months while the producers tried to get dicaprio to be patrick bateman bc bale knew dicaprio would chicken out, went to dinner with the director and the guy who wrote the novel IN CHARACTER apparently scaring the shit out of the novelist, took the role for $50k, and then made all his costars think he was a giant freak bc he never fucking broke character, and APARENTLY LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER HIS SWEAT GLANDS AND USED THIS IN THE BUSINESS CARD SCENE

It brings me comfort that, for a brief moment, Jared Leto genuinely believed Christian Bale was going to kill him with an axe

There are multiple pregnant people in my family right now and I really like seeing how different families navigate pronoun use for a baby that has an unknown gender.

I’m grateful for the takeoff of acceptance in singular they/them pronouns (and my sister-in-law is having twins, therefore using “they/them” in the plural way). But it still doesn’t come naturally to some people.

Some people are comfortable using “it/its” pronouns, and other people feel like that’s dehumanizing.

“He or she” is a safe bet if you don’t know the vibe of the parents. Don’t “it” a fetus until the parents do it first.

My favorite though is when “baby” is just always used. Just no pronouns for Baby. Baby is too small to have pronouns yet.

A lot of people are mentioning historical precedent for it/its pronouns for infants. I wonder if there’s a connection to the historical precedent for all animals being “it/its,” even if their sex is known or if they are talking animals (most animals in the original Alice in Wonderland book are it/its).

Nowadays most people will typically he/she both a baby and a dog as soon as the sex is known to them.

If you haven’t been otherwise instructed or cued, what do you call an infant (or fetus) of unknown gender?

“He or she”

They

It

“Baby” or some other cute noun in place of pronouns (bug, bun, bean)

Something else

I haven’t interacted enough with infants to establish a pattern

just finished this month's book club book, went skimming goodreads reviews afterwards as you do, got my breath taken away by this absolutely brutal ending to one of the multi-paragraph 1 star reviews

I think a lot of fandom's problems would be solved if more people who need some kind of religious structure in their lives actually found an appropriate faith tradition and stopped trying to derive a moral code and a reason for living from movies and TV shows. You can't have a fun conversation about art with someone who is treating that art like their sacred text, particularly when they become enraged that the blasphemous show runners and writers are destroying the True Religion by putting in a subplot they don't like
