I have been guysplained to more times for this one post than in my whole previous history on Fedi.

If you're mad about "y'all", you missed the point of the post.

If you're looking up the etymology of "guy", you missed the point of the post.

If you're telling me that *you* don't think "guys" is a gendered term, you missed the point of the post.

If you're saying "dude, it's just a word", you're kind of a dick.

If you're thinking that "maybe `cisheteronormative white man` shouldn't be the default assumption just because they hold a disproportionate share of power and oppressors often influence language so as to make it seem like their way is the only sane way", then...damn, you *were* paying attention!

If you're like "omg, so much this", omg, ikr?? 🫂🫂

If you're typing out "I'll try to do better", thank you, that's all we ask 💝

Misgendering is misgendering—even if "everyone's doing it". Patriarchy shouldn't be the default. #FuckThePatriarchy #Feminist #LGBTQ+ #Rant

I'll just be venting over here. Shared this info about #SpongeBob case on Bsky selfdefined.app/definitions/sp as FYI with CW #ableism. Got a reply that they like my transpo posts, not my "tone policing". Following me gets you the whole package including my efforts to use words in ways that don't leave people out. If you don't like carcentrism leaving out biking/walking, you should be able to understand why #WordsMatter.

www.selfdefined.appSpongeBob case « Definitions «Avoid: ableist language. Text styling that alternates lowercase and uppercase (often randomly) letters to indicate mockery or sarcasm, or to take a deragatory tone, popularised with a meme of SpongeBob Squarepants where he is deformed.

@Rasta
Ship traffic is down but not zero. From the website,
"Port of Seattle is located in United States (USA) at 47.5981N, 122.3471W.
69 vessels have arrived within the past 24 hours and 26 ships are expected to arrive in the next 30 days. "

that's one ship per day for the next month compared to 69 vessels in the last 24 hour.
(ship vs vessels) #wordsMatter

I wonder if the folks that voted for #tRump are tired of wining yet?

In the #tradeWar, #china is off to an early lead.
