Idea that's been kicking around for a while and I've mentioned here or there. But I think I'm gonna start putting it into practice.

I think it's ridiculous that we identify our sexuality by reference to our gender. Why don't we just say what we are attracted to? If we need latin-esque words for it, why not androphillic or androsexual (lover of men), gynophilic/gynosexual (lover of women), enbyphillic/enbysexual (lover of enbies), etc.

This topic is one that I have been gaslit about, seen (black) people pull the "well my Polynesian friend doesn't think it's a problem", seen (white) leaders in the #polyamory community call Polynesians speaking out about this trolls.

The lengths I have heard polyam people go to invalidate Polynesians on this is disgusting.

I am DONE with this fucking debate.

Morning all.

Just finished writing a scary blog post about imposter syndrome. So that's a thing.

What you up to?

I really need to sit down and organize my blog. The longer I put it off, the more posts I get up, the longer it'll take to get done.

Maybe I should make that my project for today.

Morning all.

Anxiety is up but otherwise feeling okay. Reconnected with a friend I haven't spent time with in a while and we are making plans to get together next month. (Yay!)

I also (God help me) reactivated my Fet account, so if any of my #kinky friends want to find me there, let me know and I'll share my Username.

What's going on with you lately?

I really fucking hate when people decide to ask a question, post something, etc as part of a 'personal experiment'.

Excuse me. I am not here to be part of your experiments. I did not consent to being used as data as part of your experiment. And I don't appreciate you asking a question you don't actually want my answer too JUST to get data on people's behavior.

Just because I'm willing to spend time and energy helping people doesn't mean you get to take advantage.

Morning all.

Had a dream where I was playing a creeper world-like game, but the 'creeper' was homophobia. Weird and kinda disturbing.

How's your day so far?

That moment when your practicing Spanish and reviewing 'underwear (mens)' reminds you that you haven't had pizza in a while.

Forgot charoset was supposed to be made a day or two a head of time.

Scrambling.

I've been increasing making intentional use of plural versions of you, usually 'you all', 'yous' or 'y'all'.

Is it appropriate to use these when referring to a collective? I've noted that several collectives here refer to themselves with plural pronouns ('we', 'us' etc) unless speaking of a specific member of the collective, but don't want to assume.

Thanks!

So, this is annoying.

I forgot I had a bunch of world building and character notes on the same doc as my current draft of Planting Life in a Dying City.

So I didn't reach 50,000 words yesterday. In fact, I have just a bit more than half that done.

Granted, this makes more sense given where I am in the drafting process. but it's still a bit of a let down.
