Even though they aren’t in my life anymore, when retelling stories of my friend Courtney, I still sometimes misgender and use a dead nickname. - IAmQale Mar 31, 11:59 3
- Agreed. But by the same token, confusion should not be seen as disrespect. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 12:16 1
  - There's nothing stopping a transperson from being a jerk. So yanno, if that's happening, that's a whole different thing. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 31, 12:17

There's 138 titles this week at $4.99 on iTunes list of top 200 selling movies. That's a lot of titles. -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 11:52

You’re going to see a LOT of Gen Z using non binary pronouns. Get used to it. - Tim Mar 31, 11:40 11
- MUG approves. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:43 7
  - Wow. MUG knows a lot. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:46
  - oh oops. wrong place. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:45 5
    - i feel like MUG would approve though. -- nm - Andie Mar 31, 11:46 4
      - I dunno, I think MUG is a bit judgmental TBH -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 11:46 3
        
        MUG is about to fire you. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:47 2
        
        MUG is Hot and Cold like that. -- nm - MUG Mar 31, 11:49 1
        
        heh heh -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 12:34
- I may just drop them, entirely. Would clear the way for Spawn to refer to self as Spawn, too. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:42 2
  - here. -- (link) - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:45 [Backboard]
  - tRu agrees that this is perhaps the best option. -- nm - tRuMAN Mar 31, 11:45
I get misgendered a bunch in email. It's not the same thing by any measure, but I get the irritation. -- nm* - Reagen Mar 31, 11:39 2
- Back when I was a long hair, oldies would do this to my face (without meaning to). -- (edited) - Spawn Mar 31, 11:41 1
  - I'm the opposite. Short hair, jeans and t-shirt. People call me sir without really looking at me :) -- nm - Meg Mar 31, 11:50
i don't go on 4chan much (and have not for years), esp not pol, but they're brigading some stuff on reddit, so i thought it'd check in.. holy crap. - colin Mar 31, 11:33 2
- It should have been taken down a million times over by now. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 31, 11:45 1
  - absolutely. -- nm - colin Mar 31, 12:18
Biden will convene his "full" Cabinet tomorrow for the first time. -- (link*) - stim-mie Mar 31, 11:28 4
- Will they all have to take a turn praising him like they did under Trump? -- nm - pmb Mar 31, 12:03
- It's like assembling the Avengers or - to a lesser extent - the Justice League. -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 12:01
- But does he have a china Cabinet? -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 11:33
- How many times had President Trump convened by now!?! -- nm - Fox News Mar 31, 11:30
Here's a thread for trans day of visibility -- (link) - ty97 Mar 31, 11:26 3
- Good thread. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:44
- Thank you. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:41
- This post in the thread is it: - oblique Mar 31, 11:41

  - In-laws of mine who are declining the vaccine are all like, 'Hey! Come over for Easter!'. I'm like 🙄... -- nm - Diva Mar 31, 12:18 4
    - I don’t think I can be so kind if/when my mom realizes that I don’t think I’m coming back to visit soon. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 31, 12:22 3
      - I feel like we keep going through this again and again. And the infection rate has been going up again for the last 2 weeks - especially where they -- (edited) - Diva Mar 31, 12:29 2
        
        I agree to all of your post and IM. I'm not going to be in a hurry to go anywhere even 2nd shoted up. - Pippy Mar 31, 12:35 1
        
        whew! glad I get to keep that! 🎄🤮 -- nm - Diva Mar 31, 13:12
I've needed to start a new twitter account, it's @Inargunzargun1 if you want it. -- nm - mud Mar 31, 11:13 2
- What did you do with your old one? They don’t grow in trees, you know. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:15 1
  - I trashed it with extreme prejudice. -- nm - mud Mar 31, 11:16
Adam Schefter: Tyler Lockett gets a 4-year, $69.2 million extension with $37 million guaranteed. -- (link) - Inigo Mar 31, 11:11 2
- DK Metcalf approves -- (link) - Beaker Mar 31, 11:24 1
  - DK just waiting for his bag -- nm - stim-mie Mar 31, 11:27
Now I feel I want to add pronouns to my emails and socials. Anyone suggest any template examples? -- nm* - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:07 58
- Hee/Haw along with your phone number. - zunk xometimes Mar 31, 11:37
- I just added he/him at the end of my social profiles -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 11:18 3
  - do we think I need "she/her/hers" or just "she/her"? -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:26 2
    - Honestly I think the point comes across fine with just (she), I’ve never understood why it remains common practice to include more than that. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:51
    - I feel like her covers hers but I don't see an issue adding it. I thought he/him felt and looked right. Didn't even think to have his. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 31, 11:48
- Bery should add pronouns to ST! -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 11:18
- I am new to his stuff. But why not Mr. or Ms.? -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:17 35
  - The idea for cis people doing it is to normalize it. If only trans people "have to specify" pronouns by definition it is not "normal." -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 11:19 34
    - would Mr./Sir be bad? -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:22 33
      - I feel like Mister/Mister would be so much worse. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 31, 11:51 3
        
        I feel like I've lost the Hz frequency kids can hear. I just can't see what's different between the two. -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:58
        
        it is the road that he must travel. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 11:55
        
        Welcome to the real world -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:53
      - One thing I have noticed is there really isn’t a non-gendered equivalent form of address to Sir or Ma’am. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 31, 11:39 1
        
        But in this context does there need to be? If the point is to help clarify, Mr. or He does the job. 'They' clarifies that way. Everyone's clarified? -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:44
      - I don't think it would necessarily be "bad." In my experience, any effort is appreciated by most. - Dano Mar 31, 11:32
      - Kind of has an "all lives matter" feel to it to me. - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:24 25
        
        Maybe I read this wrong, but would my using "Mr." be different than my using "he/him"? -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:30 24
        
        I guess it’s fine if you expect people to refer to you with a formal honorific... -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 31, 11:35
        
        he/him is common language. you aren't referred to as "Mr." that often. they aren't interchangeable -- nm - Andie Mar 31, 11:33 22
        
        I think I just realized what throws me off about labeling myself as he/him - it sounds like I'm talking about someone else. - Max Mar 31, 11:47 10
        
        You’re pointing at the wrong question. It’s how you want to be referred not, not how you want to be addressed. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:54 8
        
        I *think* he is saying what I am saying. By choosing Mr. Spawn, I am saying he/him. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:58 7
        
        this. This just makes sense. "He/him" looks clunky and makes me have to pause a sec and calculate what's going on. -- nm - Max Mar 31, 12:03 1
        
        I am one that is usually in the camp of *not* reinventing the wheel. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 12:10
        
        And that’s probably fine to indicate by implication, but comes across to me as a bit formal for common usage. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 12:01 4
        
        I meant for the purposes of an email signature. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 12:09 3
        
        Again, seems a bit formal. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 12:19 2
        
        vs aesthetics of adding a Pronouns line -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 12:23 1
        
        Which has nothing to do with formality as I see it, that’s just providing additional information. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 12:33
        
        Yeah, as I said, simple. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:48
        
        Okay. I just thought it more easily stated what pronouns I chose. But I guess there is no easy to this one. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:39
        
        i know a few people that do he/him/they/them.. some people use multiple. - colin Mar 31, 11:34 9
        
        That seems excessive. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:52 1
        
        knowing them, it seems right though.. -- nm - colin Mar 31, 12:19
        
        If you're going he+they, shouldn't you logically go "he/him/she/her/they/them"? -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:49
        
        I always took that as they prefer "they/them," but if it's not possible go with masculine. Is there a gender neutral word for Aunt/Uncle for example? - Dano Mar 31, 11:39 5
        
        I call my sister's child my "nibling." -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:46 4
        
        (So pibling instead of Aunt/Uncle?) -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:48 3
        
        Ancle? Unt? -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:58 2
        
        So what about grandma/grandpa? -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:59 1
        
        Grandy -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 12:06
- Hmmm... - Pat Mar 31, 11:14 1
  - Like anyone has cared enough to refer to you in decades. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 31, 11:55
- Here's mine... (minus all the contact-y stuff) - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:13 1
  - thanks -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:18
- It's pretty simple - ty97 Mar 31, 11:08 9
  - Correction - Inigo Mar 31, 11:44 1
    - heh -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:50
  - That's presumptive of you. -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 11:16 1
    - heh, I did think that as I posted it. -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 11:18
  - update: I can get away with only $144.33 if I want. easy peasy. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:10
  - update: I can get away with only $144.33 if I want. easy peasy. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:10 3
    - But why not go with the original goal? - ty97 Mar 31, 11:11 2
      - oh I could do that. but the $144.33 is actually "acceptable." the orig goal is "exceptional." -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:12 1
        
        MUG vs MUG+ ? -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 31, 11:20
- I would just do (in my sig only) "amanda jeans (she/her)." -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:08 1
  - I've seen this in the wild -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 11:10
There is so much about this Facebook memory that seems very off now -- (pic) - oblique Mar 31, 10:56 [Attachment] 1
- Those Urigrow pills worked? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 11:06
David News Network: Jesse Metcalfe Exits Hallmark Channel’s Chesapeake Shores Series -- (link) - decline Mar 31, 10:54 2
- I'm pretty sure Hallmark could just replace him with a different actor and no one would blink. -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 12:02
- It's fine. It's not like the entire story's built around him or anything. -- nm - David Mar 31, 10:58
Love doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints. -- nm - David Mar 31, 10:54 7
- And now I have a Hamilton ear worm. - Will Hunting Mar 31, 11:20 1
  - You're welcome! -- nm - David Mar 31, 11:38
- Love the one you're with. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 10:55 4
  - Love is the drug. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:12 3
    - Love thy self. -- nm - tRuMAN Mar 31, 11:14 1
      - Love me two times. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:15
    - double post, weird. -- nm* - tRuMAN Mar 31, 11:14
