You Know, I've Been Writing A Lot Of Fics Where Alphy Absolutely Rails Mono, But I Have A Little Fic

You know, I've been writing a lot of fics where Alphy absolutely rails Mono, but I have a little fic idea tumbling around in my head where it's just him and Saie hanging out in the new manor after Mono finished building it, and being too scared to go into the basement because of an ominous red glow and a horrific noise neither one of them can describe.

"You know, there isn't a zero per cent chance that Mono has a voidsent in there."

It's literally just the boiler.

And later Mono's like, "I'm so glad you two are getting along, but you're both the dumbest people I've ever met. Also, luv, your immigration papers are down there, and I'm not getting them out for you. Good luck, ya baby."

Mono: *Decks the house out with magitek*

Alphy and/or Saie: "WHAT IS THIS?"

There literally isn't anything funnier than them losing their minds over a toaster oven.

My old person trait is that I think a website should work in a web browser and not try to open an app

i think it's very odd that really basic "some people have different cultures and we should respect differences" is lost on so many people online, particularly when we're talking about the most inoffensive, innocuous stuff imaginable. i keep seeing fights online about whether americans are being creepy and invasive for smiling at strangers regularly or whether eastern europeans are being rude and standoffish for not smiling at strangers. neither is true!!!!! people's cultures are just different that's literally it!!! people have different norms and cultures and expectations and that's completely fine! what are you going on about?????

Shout-out to all the plurals with F/Os.

🌼 Who just have F/Os and that's not a part of their system.

🌼 Who have fictives of their F/Os in their system.

🌼 Who are in relationships with their headmates and their F/Os are separate.

🌼 Who are in relationships with headmates who are also F/Os and that's important to their relationships.

🌼 Who are in relationships with their headmates who are also F/Os and it's very awkward.

🌼 Created systems or adjacent who made headmates of their F/Os.

You're all very valid! 💙

Hey it occurred to me that some of you here possibly do not follow me on Twitter and thus do not yet know about

So OK in 2021 the US abruptly withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban promptly seized the capital of Kabul. The US responded by freezing the assets of the national bank at which point the Afghan economy collapsed. There are no jobs to be had, people can't afford to buy food or heat their homes, over 10,000 children under 5 years old have died from starvation and malnutrition this year. Things are incredibly bad.

Foreign aid orgs withdrew when the US government did out of fear they couldn't keep their foreign national staff safe from the Taliban. The UN has classified what is happening in Afghanistan as the largest humanitarian disaster in the world right now.

He wanted his company to be the Etsy of Afghanistan. Now it has a crucial new mission

As international charities pulled out or faced funding issues after the Taliban takeover, Aseel, an online business that sells local crafts,

Enter Nasrat Khalid and Aseel. Aseel is an Afghan company run by Afghan people who live in places from DC to Egypt to remote provinces in Afghanistan. When they provide food, it is food purchased in Afghanistan that people will want to eat, not what westerners think people should have. When Aseel provides clothing, it is Afghan clothing purchased from Afghan shops made by Afghan tailors, not worn out castoffs from westerners. Beneficiaries are not required to do any work for Aseel and are helped regardless of religion or ethnicity. Aseel also provides Afghan artisans access to international customers, helping them not need to become beneficiaries in the first place.

So you can help a couple ways - you can buy an emergency package/donate to a campaign, or you can literally go shopping for any number of beautiful things. It will take about a month for things to get to you from Afghanistan but it's absolutely worth it.

Yall wanna be gnc and androgynous but hate intersex people and the idea of being intersex so much, I remember reading about PCOS potentially being considered an intersex disorder and having 100s of people dismiss it because "we can't just be calling 1 in 10 women intersex" or being in transmasc spaces and constantly being told that bottom growth and T dicks are undesirable and that people find non standard genetalia gross, in a GENDER INCLUSIVE SPACE.

The lgbt Community seriously needs to grapple with its hatred of intersex features and stop seeing androgyny that isn't pretty waify white person. You all love femme presenting androgyny but hate when people are androgynous in a broad or hairy way.
