I think I need to get offline more.
Honest to god, I just said to my boss, "It's only kaiju if they're from Japan. Otherwise, they're just sparkling giant monsters" and got such a look, like I'd starting speaking in tongues while snake handling.

This reminds me of @carolconnolly.bsky.social's story about being short at a concert, finding a hi-vis jacket, putting it on, & starting to order tall people to the back so short people could see.
It worked, to her horror and delight. :D

"Oh," the emperor of the galaxy said, "what happened to that monkey world?"
"Our agents infiltrated them some eight thousand years ago."
"Have they taken over the world?"
"Not yet."
The emperor licked a paw and started washing his ears.
"I'll still count it as one of mine," he purred.

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

The head dr at the long covid clinic I’m in told me they’re seeing more patients develop ME (aka me/cfs), to the point they’ve added new coding in their whole hospital system for it.
No amount of magical thinking will prevent this, the ppl who have it aren’t less than or different than you. Wear a 😷

But yeah, super common for older people to be like "my dumb bible name is boring as hell, I'm one of 12 Johns in my year, so I've decided that everyone will call me Budd from now on" and people just shrugged and called them Budd and nobody has called them anything else for 50+ years since.

Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.
