So, uhh, yeah. Things have gone to shit and stayed there. I'm not super stoked about having my name in full here, but whatever. Things are desperate.

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"
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.
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.

Foolish boy. Don’t you know anything about Fantasia? It’s the world of human fantasy. Every part… Every creature of it is, a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefore, it has no boundaries.
THE NEVERENDING STORY (1984)
Good time to remember how this book was written by a German dude, and the film was directed by another German dude. I’m just saying, they understood the assignment.

Just discovered the queue, this thing is amazing
I love how everyone silently agreed to queue this and it's only now crawling out of the processing vortex. Tumblr posters love being contrary so much

oh my fucking god. I forgot testosterone is a controlled substance. it's in my iStop.
I always forget to mention it (BIG no no with controlled substances) and I'm a woman taking it so it probably already looks pretty weird
and in light of the ban on trans healthcare Trump claims he will enact 'on day one'... I think its presence in my iStop is about to become pretty dangerous. in terms of access to healthcare and also like. existence.
so yeah if you have ever taken testosterone I am sorry to tell you that there is an indelible record of it held by a private company which every medical provider you ever meet for the rest of your life can see.
iStop is about to get a bunch of trans people etc in a whole world of trouble, and most will have no idea what gave them away.
please reblog this for reach...
shit wait don't reblog the original do this one please. I didn't realize I never explained what iStop is in the original post
there's a private company called iStop that keeps a centralized record of any controlled substances.
so that if patient A gets a controlled substance from doctor B, then hits up Dr c too soon for the same prescription, iStop flags it and the doctor will see what you're doing.
except... it is not infallible. for example, in the USA, meds for pets go under your name. so you get some gabapentin for Rover so he doesn't bite the vet and all of a sudden you're mysteriously denied care because of a controlled substance
any medical provider you encounter can see any controlled substance you have ever taken. you cannot access your own records.
and testosterone is on it.
damn I'm sorry, this contains major misinfo. I have to stop posting important things while sleep deprived. it seemed urgent but if it's wrong it's not helpful for it to be fast
iStop is only in new york state. it tracks prescriptions you get in any state, I am pretty sure, but the program is only in new york.
and medpros usually only check it when you are being prescribed or represcribed a controlled substance. I can't say Trump can't change that, but it's not quite as dire as I thought at first, and it's only in one state
sorry if I stressed anyone out. new yorkers who have taken testosterone, use caution receiving controlled substances if the trans healthcare ban is implemented. other 49 states can relax about this one thing at least
We have just added gender identity as a specifically protected group to the state constitution though, so fingers crossed that won't happen?

this post's hypothetical by itself is already ridiculous but the thing that gets me is how the wording implies two very funny things that become funnier in tandem
1. "Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby" means this is a mistake on the pitcher's part. i imagine the pitcher is breastfeeding on the field and they pitch and they look down at their hands and they see the ball still in the glove and they go "fuck"
2. hitting the baby will still win you the game

My role on the leftist commune will be to find a big rock and sit down
Once so ensconced it'll be up to me to do all of the pondering. Most of the considering as well, and the contemplating.
My roll on the leftist commune will be off the giant rock, downhill into a river.

Apple propaganda notwithstanding, the reason tower PCs are big isn’t because they’re outdated. The reason tower PCs are so bulky is because they’re designed to be user serviceable. The case has lots of open space so your big, meaty hands can easily access all of the components, and everything is secured with friction-fit tabs and standard machine screws to minimise the need for specialised tools. A properly laid out tower PC is fully serviceable with a single Phillips-head screwdriver and no greater manual skill than your average Lego playset – heck, for some of the more modern case layouts you don’t even need the screwdriver, unless you’re performing major surgery like a full motherboard replacement.
Like, think about who benefits from convincing you that a fully modular computing device that can be serviced and repaired with your bare hands and minimal technical skill is unfashionable.

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"
The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.
We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...
