It's a sad day that when I hear about the term harassment, I tend to think about how people have diminished the meaning to just posting a disagreement to someone on a social media site.

(2/2) I'm thinking pronouns that differentiate between sentient beings and objects, but then who defines that line?

So, pronouns. I don't really have any because I don't care - what people call me doesn't change my gender/sex (male). Right now, I prefer 'it/its' because of the impersonality, but as long as the pronoun usage is consistent (no "he walked into the next room and picked up its sandwich") I'm fine.

(1/2) *I'm making many assumptions in this post so I appreciate it if people correct me*

Pronouns, invented to shorten communication, became gendered when society becomes gendered. Do pronouns really change what people are? Why still have gendered pronouns? If you say for writing, then the assumption is the two people are of opposite gender. If we head towards 'it' and 'they,' it might work better....

One of the curators identified the printer (Séb. Gryphe) as "the pirate printer", but I cannot find a record of his ever illicitly printing.

Sébastien Gryphe, or Gryphius, second quarter of the sixteenth century, was extravagant in the way of Marks; there are at least eight, all, however, of one common type—the Griffin, sometimes quite without any sort of decorative attributes or motto, and sometimes as in the example here given.

It is claimed Ernest Hemingway once wrote a six-word short story that could make people cry for a bet. The wager was ten dollars, which Hemingway won with the following: Show more

A Laz Turk, with no PGPs.

Enterprising student, in secondary education: Ethnobotanist, ethicist, environmental scientist. Novelty matters to me.

-- Uniqlo clothes (no, the brands have not infiltrated, yet)

Affordable clothes that are extremely unoffensive. Perfect for college students, developers. Think Gap:Uniqlo:🐦Mastodon.

Lavender: grow some in a pot on the windowsill, or just outside. Take old fabric scraps and make aromatheraputic sachets. Lovely

you can argue about the benefits of capitalism or communism etc all day, but the fact of the matter is that the planet has finite resources and cant support this obsession with endless growth of products and services (GDP), and we are already reaching the limit of this and if we dont stop we are all literally going to die
