But You Privately See Your Idealized Gender Goals As Has A Sword And A Sense Of Dignity And A Quest

“but you privately see your idealized gender goals as “has a sword and a sense of dignity and a Quest””

... is that not how idealized gender goals are supposed to work? Because that sounds amazing.

[hand hovers over crystal ball] when you were a tween you got really into Arthuriana and you thought the aesthetic idea of questing knights was really cool but the religious and patriarchal aspects of medieval chivalry bothered you so you coped through swords and sorcery fantasy fiction and went through an obligatory phase where you looked into Wicca but discovered that it had no appeal to you and for a while you wanted to change your name to Rowan because it was earthy and gender-neutral but when you got older you decided against it and either kept your original name or switched to something ambiguous or masculine of center and maybe you described yourself as butch or non-binary or trans but you privately see your idealized gender goals as “has a sword and a sense of dignity and a Quest” which doesn’t make any sense really but as an adult you channeled your misplaced knight errant fantasies into a passion for environmental justice or ecology or wildlife conservation and picked up a diagnosis or two that explains why you are weird at parties

Beware!

“"Latinx" is unpronounceable “

No one told me this! I’ve been pronouncing it as la-te-nex all along!

Any take on "latinx" by english speakers that says "latinO is already neutral so..." is dumb af bc no it's not! The fact that spanish speakers (and other gendered languages' speakers) use the masculine as the default form IS actually an issue that's been analysed by feminism! "Latinx" is unpronounceable just like "latin@" that's why we used "-os and -as" (ie explicitly including the feminine form) or have the neutral "-e" (so it would be "latine" which is actually pronounceable in Spanish). The use of the "-e" is controversial by itself within feminism because while it neutralizes the language it doesn't explicitly make women visible which is the reason this all started being a debate. For example, in formal settings in Spain it is now common to say "profesores y profesoras" "trabajadores y trabajadoras" but I believe that in other countries the neutral "-e" is used more commonly. Both are alternatives to male-as-default language with an actual history behind them so while using "latinx" or the "-x" is dumb because it is hard to pronounce, your take that words ending in "-o" are already neutral is also wrong.

🎶 I see the moon and the moon sees me 🎶 

Me: “Oh, hello moon.”

Moon: *Lingers*

Me: *sighs longingly* “Not going to lie to you moon, legit a quarter of my desire to be a werewolf is that I can spend dark nights together with you.”

Does anyone else feel an intense, soothing sense of recognition and peace when they look at the moon? Or is my brain being weird?

They’re trying to; a relationship 

So many engineers on dating apps? Go build something???

Gideon: Gay anger.

Harrow: I only feel one emotion and it’s anger.

Gideon: Last night you got drunk and texted me a thousand heart emojis.

Harrow: Out of anger.
