Hey man! What's the thin veneer that covers us all? Is it some sort of glue or lint or spiderweb or extruded plastic that stretches from person to person and object to object, connecting one "thing" to another in a way that's not perceptible much of the time but has pronounced effects when two or more objects are joined too closely (heartache, etc)? Is it intentional?

It's beautiful that Ancient Egypt, 4,000 years ago, survives culturally through the power of its Little Guys and their appearances

A guy who is the abyss! So long ago and yet so contemporary! He could be featured on The Magnus Archives. He could be working at a petrol station today. I guess this is how Neil Gaiman got started.

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.

benefits of mg:

  • easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")
  • ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually
  • ends in a soft vowel sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)
  • fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter
  • distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)
  • wizard.

drawbacks:

  • there aren't any
  • yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.

help I just remembered the first time I ever spoke to a gay man—age 11, on AIM—I asked him if he’d ever had gay sex. he said yes. unable to think of anything else to add I said “I hope you had fun!” and he replied “yes, thank you”

This is Silver Gust, a dedicated and reliable father. He works as one of the senior miners in the silver mine. He spends most of his time actually just demonstrating and advocating for safety, but he brings in enough money wise to where his family is middle class.

His headband is the brightest colored peice of clothing he wears out of his whole wardrobe.

He has wings, they are under all his work stuff.
