Asked my mom for a binder for Christmas

No, mom, that’s not….

Oh I see what you did there

Anyone else not-technically ambidextrous?

I'm sometimes right-handed, sometimes left-handed, entirely depending on the task/activity. I write right-handed, though I can write fairly legibly with my left, and I fence with my left.

Whenever I mention it people ask if I mean that I'm ambidextrous and every time I have to be like– kinda? Ish? Right-hand tasks are right-hand tasks and left-hand tasks are left-hand tasks. I have better precision with small-scale things using my right hand, but large-scale things need my left. And my left is physically stronger, more so since I started fencing, but it's just generally better suited to strength tasks than my right.

I don't know if there's really a word for this.

Some things, like archery, either hand can work, but it varies whenever I do it, and it's not like I get to do archery all that often to test when which hand works better.

I know my brother, also a lefty fencer, should have been lefty in handwriting, too, but his kindergarten teacher complained at him about it, so now he can't write comfortably and well with either hand. This makes sense to me, he was supposed to be lefty in everything, but had to learn writing right-handed, but I never had that happen. I just have weird brain wiring by default.

Reminds me of that guy whose partner* came out as trans and said "oh, that's why you're so bad at ironing" or something similar

*I can't remember if he found out they were a transwoman and it was "oh, learning curve, no one taught you the Girl Skills" or they came out as a transman and it was "oh, of course, the Girl Skills could not have caught on if you're a guy"

Less than an hour after I came out to my twin, he cut me off mid-sentence while discussing Star Wars to shout, “Silence, woman! A man is talking!”

So yeah. The shitposting is genetic, the only thing that prevents my twin from being a god-tier Trans shitposter is the fact that he is tragically a Cisgendered catboy.

I love my Twin. He’s always been a part of my life through thick and thin, and literally (and I use that word intentionally) saved my life once.

I love how much fun that dog is having

I love how much fun the announcers are having

I love that jump into their person's arms at the end because everyone's so happy

I love this

I'd probably sleep for a very long time

I think hibernation would be neat

If there were no consequences, societal or otherwise, what would you do?

It's even in the right order this is great

I wouldn’t worry about the tape recorder breaking, theres plenty around!

I've been seeing screenshots of people with dates listed under usernames on posts, is this something I can get on mine?

And could someone tell me how to manage it/where to learn? I'm not sure what to google to find instructions

This is all good, but it'd be funny if the knife was the bread knife

I haven't seen anyone making one of these yet and I've been plagued with visions

Reading fantasy again, I've started thinking about how odd it is how in books like that, the non-human races invariably scoff at human frailty and vulnerability, even those that they'll call friends. Like that's mean?? Why would you be a dick to your friend who you know is not capable of as much as you are, and it's not their fault they were born like that. That's mean.

Like consider the opposite: Characters of non-human races treating their human companions like frail little old dogs. Worrying about small wounds being fatal - humans die of small injuries all the time - or being surprised that humans can actually eat salt, even if they can't stomach other spicy rocks. Being amazed that a human friend they haven't seen in 10 years still looks so young, they've hardly aged at all! And when the human tries to explain that they weren't going to just unexpectedly shrivel into a raisin in 10 years, the longer-lifespan friend dismisses this like no, he's seen it happen, you don't see a human for 10 or 20 years and they've shriveled in a blink.

Elves arguing with each other like "you can't take her out there, she will die!" and when the human gets there to ask what they're talking about, they explain to her that the journey will take them through a passage where it's going to be sunny out there. Humans burn in the sun. And she will have to clarify that no, actually, she'll be fine. They fight her about it, until she manages to convince them that it's not like vampires - humans only burn a little bit in the sun, not all the way through. She'll be fine if she just wears a hat.

Meanwhile dwarves are reluctant to allow humans in their mines and cities, not just out of being secretive, but because they know that you cannot bring humans underground, they will go insane if they go too long without seeing the sun. Nobody is entirely sure how long that is, but the general consensus is three days. One time a human tries to explain their dwarf companion that this is not true, there are humans that endure much longer darkness than that. As a matter of fact, in the furthest habited corners of the lands of the Northmen, the winter sun barely rises at all. Humans can survive three weeks of darkness, and not just once, but every single year.

"Then how do they sane?" Asks the dwarf, and just as he does, the conversation gets interrupted by the northland human, who had been eavesdropping, and turns to look at them with an unnerving glint in her colourless grey eyes, grinning while saying

"That's the neat part, we don't."

It's ok to feel anger. It's a normal emotion. Considering everything your dealing with, anger is expected. It's valid.

You don't owe anyone a performance of happiness.

You don't owe anyone an inspirational story.

Chronic illness and disability sucks a lot of the time. And it's ok to feel that.

The older generation's fixation on forcing you to have kids is something they absolutely refuse to unlearn. You can give the calmest and most reasonable explanation for not having kids and the only thing they can think to say is, "But what of the heir to the lands?" "Who will inherit the throne?" "Please sire upon your barren death there will be a parochial schism that will soak our soils with brother-blood." They literally hate to see you happy with just a cat.
