the world gets a lot easier when you learn to be wrong without getting pissed or doubling down. saying, ‘you’re right, that makes sense, I was misinformed, thanks for telling me’ instead of going to war over something your ego’s latched onto will save you time, energy, and the embarrassment of sounding like a whiny little bitch

there should be a such thing as a medical detective. you should be able to hire a doctor to figure out what the fuck is going on with you come hell or high water by consulting whatever specialists they can get their hands on, connecting your constellation of symptoms, etc, instead of 10000 different doctors for every distinct bone in ur body that all just kinda go "dang that sucks idk" when you present with more than one fucking symptom

i dont know why anyone else misses analog board games, but to me, it's because physical parts let me cheat. there's no moving pieces around when someone isnt looking in a chess app, no sneaking bonus pieces out of the graveyard in checkers, no double drawing cards in go fish.

i spent years developing those skills as a Professional Little Brother. what am i supposed to do now, go back to college? learn how to play games the right way? i mean, who gives a shit? the fun part was never the game, it was the Getting Away With It. or, you know, for the rest of my family, Catching The Bastard. now that was entertainment.

Scout Paper-Mario-Wiki Needs Help

Hey all. It's gotten bad for me.

Me, and the people I care about the most, need to leave the country, and I can no longer rely on my full time job to provide me with the funds I need to do so. This is not a matter of comfort for us, it is a matter of survival, and I don't say that lightly.

I do not feel good asking for this much assistance, but I need it, and will be doing whatever I can to make it happen.

For the first time in 4 years, I'll be opening up voice acting commissions, and I've also started a fundraising campaign.

If you'd like to support me, please click any of the links below.

Chuffed campaign

Donate on cashapp

Donate on paypal

Email me for a commission at chasejoven@gmail.com (starting at $100 for short jobs, willing to negotiate if the commission is especially small. I'm also more than willing to do non-voice-acting work if you have something else you know I can do for you.)

Thank you very much for reading, and thank you for your help.

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

I really can’t stand anti-lawyer sentiment idgaf if your annoying uncle is a really smarmy personal injury lawyer or whatever the fuck it’s time to grow up and recognize that having an entire profession dedicated to understanding and upholding the law is actually extremely valuable to civilized society

Many things are touted as being John Waters weird but they are actually lesbian coded supporting character in a Disney channel original movie weird. I have no malice in my heart for this, but I am shown many a disappointing tiktok these days.

It's actually devastating how the terms transfem and transmasc have been co-opted.

When they were first coined (as I remember it, at least) they were made to be expansive.

They meant "literally anyone who's gender is more feminine than masculine" and "literally anyone who's gender is more masculine than feminine" respectively.

The other common usages I saw were "literally anyone who's transitioning towards femininity/ masculinity".

They were very broad classifications. Purposefully so.

These terms allowed nonbinary people to have language that expressed masculinity or femininity without disavowing/erasing other (gendered) aspects of themselves.

And there was no expectation that everyone had to use them. They were just two options. There for anyone who wanted them.

Now these terms are (most often) used as synonyms for trans women/men. Now there's discreet "transfem" and "transmasc" experiences. No room for overlap or complexity.

It's become just another way to ask "yeah but are you a man or a woman"?

Fuck everyone else, right?

Some of y'all approach kink like, "Yippee, I'm playing with toys!" When what you’re really doing is playing with vulnerable people and fucking with their heads. I'm not here for it.

the beauty of the world is that there are people out there having basically indistiguishable gender and sexuality experiences and one has several microlabels and an army of pride flags, one says "idk i guess im nonbinary or something" and the other is comfortably cis with a little flexibility. and all of them are correct because your identity is whatever you make of it.
