Weave in the Ends

I am passionately in love with a lot of stuff, but currently we’re looking at D&D (the game and actual plays), writing and crochet, channeling the weave and toxic lesbians and cozy BL. I am embarrassingly earnest always. She/they or spivak if you’re feeling spicey.

No major spoilers for the Gladlands finale (although this will be basically incomprehensible to anyone who hasn’t watched it), but this was the part that made me laugh until my stomach hurt:

[Captions: “The Spinch actually never ate anyone. That’s not the Spinch lore. This absolute buffoon.”]

These lines are the internal thoughts of Ally’s character Quinn here, which made it EVEN FUNNIER to me. Just silently judging this dude for being wrong about the Spinch lore.

*for this survey, working = bringing home a paycheck/cash. FWIW, I do think being a stay-at-home parent is work but it should *not* be counted as work for this survey. On the flip side, even making a little cash by selling crafts or babysitting on weekends count as part time jobs.

i simply don't think nonbinary people should have to see having our gender/s respected and acknowledged as a luxury. i think it's frankly sickening that that's the state of things tbh.

[genderkoolaid]

sorry i just think that the fact that popular binary jokes are stuff like "god isn't it so much better to exist as my gender, i didn't even realize how incredibly depressed i was until i transitioned, my life is so much more rich and colorful now that im out and transitioning :)" and popular nonbinary jokes are stuff like "i think i might be nonbinary but that doesn't matter because i have real adult concerns and no one would respect it anyways lol" and that's. normal and funny and cool. yeah. clenches teeth so hard they turn to dust

[genderkoolaid]

happy nonbinary people's day. treat every nonbinary person you meet with as much compassion and respect as you possibly can or ill grind YOUR teeth to dust.

[chaoticmagpies]

once tried to share a poem with my uncle about how awful it feels to be reduced to binary ideas of gender as a nonbinary trans dude who doesn't pass. hes a very supportive cis gay man who'd never intentionally disrespect my identity and even he kind of laughed at me when i shared it thinking it was like. supposed to be lighthearted or a joke in a way? even from one of the most compassionate people i know i feel like my identity and a massive chunk of my dysphoria comes off as a funny concept/nonserious. idk

poem included in case anyone wanted to read

[genderkoolaid]

This is really beautiful!

[genderkoolaid]

btw the poet above has their commisions open for poetry & tarot readings, if anyone's got some money and would like to get a custom poem / tarot reading / just support a nonbinary person!

this poem is seriously gorgeous @chaoticmagpies. its touched a lot of other nonbinary people & i really thank you for adding it to this post. your uncle was absolutely wrong to react that way & this deserves to be an officially published work imo. art like this is vital to our community.

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

[s-leary]

“When I tweeted about AO3's tags a while back, I received many comments from people wishing that their professional tagging systems were as good, including users of news sites, library catalogs, commercial sales websites, customer help-desk websites, and PubMed (the most prominent database of medical research).”
