And since I'm in the mood for dying on hills: a one-night stand, even if you abbreviate it to ONS for whatever reason, is not a premeditated choice. I feel like I'm losing touch with humanity...

I'll try to explain: if we meet for sex and we like each other, we'll probably meet again. Hey, we might even have some pillow talk and get to know each other. If, on the other hand, one or more of us didn't like the experience, it would be silly for us to force ourselves to meet again.

I don't understand why these things are not obvious.

Next time I get asked: "are you looking for a long-term relationship?" or hear someone say "I don't like ONS" - I should be like, our experience and understanding of human life and behavior differ so significantly that I think we should avoid the inconvenience of meeting without having any shared reality whatsoever.

I think a good rebuttal to TERFs terfing is: My body my choice!

So, since the original twitter thread by Jos Truitt that makes the case that #HansChristianAndersen was #trans is now hardly accessible at all, I made an effort to reproduce it here in screenshots.

All tweets in the thread have alt-text. They all show jostruitt's avatar and name "Jos Abolish ICE Truitt" and are dated 18 Jan 2017.

EDIT: for reference, here's the twitter link - https://x.com/jostruitt/status/821706830799896576

#TransChristianAndersen

At which point did we, as a species, decide that it makes sense to ask a potential date whether they intend to have a "short-term" / "long-term" / "lifelong" relationship before even meeting them for the first time?

You see, darling, I don't even know if I like you. Listen, gorge, this is not how any of this works. I don't set the time limit *before* getting to know someone and seeing how well we get along. Look, honey, you sound like you're filling in a form. Are you a bot?

Important thought of the day:

The English word "pussy" originally means a cat and by extension (as a cute metaphor?), the female genitalia.

Since this word has nothing to do with the shape or function of what it denotes (at least not in any distinctive way), I see no issue in using it with reference to either vulvas or penises of feminine humans and I wouldn't mind extending it to humans of any gender.

As a closing comment, meow 🐈

@pierogiburo @endali @ShadowJonathan My locale is broken Berlin English

@Lana As Mark Twain and Emma Goldman probably never said despite it being attributed to them, if voting made a difference, they'd make it illegal.

@sigmasternchen Those homophones are a menace.

Nach(t)tisch
Rad/t
Noch/rmal (the difference is usually too subtle for me to hear it)

@SuperDicq @kaia

I really don't understand why we decided as a species to develop our input hardware in the direction of "aim and touch" rather than investing more in physical keyboards. Having to coordinate eyes and fingers is much slower and less accurate than relying on muscle memory with a fixed layout and tactile feedback.

@kaia divorced people eat less margarine?

@thomasfuchs and a small group of survivors headed by Sarah Connor are stranded on some godforsaken moon and try to form a rebellion.
