@Isoleucine @a_breakin_glass Some of the nuance around "trans" (not necessarily) being applicable might be a generational thing?

E.g. I'm in my 40s & the nonbinary peers I've known all self label as "trans(gender)".

I think it's closer to 50/50 with the enbies I know in their 20s. (Only know a couple in their 30s & not sure how they self label.)

Would make an interesting study if one could get a statistically significant sample.

@distelfliege That does sound tasty! But also a little hard on the throat.

I use a base of ≈1 tbsp rose hips, ≈2 tsp spearmint, ≈1 tsp black tea (usually decaf), & 1/2 tsp marshmallow root.

To this, any number of medical herbs can be assed, but my default is:

1/2 tsp echinacia
1/2 tsp hyssop
1/4 tsp horehound

Sweeten to taste. (N.B. horehound is rather bitter but helpful against coughs.) The marshmallow makes it extra soothing for sore throats!

My Tootdon notifications are borked again?

I should probably force quit & restart ∑:p

@distelfliege Sorry to hear you're sick, but glad to hear you're feeling OK!

LMK if you ever want my "sick brew" recipe. It's actually quite tasty!

@iliana The Singularity draws nigh…

TFW you're teasing a fren about copying your relationship with (and anatomy of) your boobs, and are tempted to demand seeing Exhibit A 🙃

@kacealexander If you also technically have four nipples, I'm suing <_<;

@kacealexander Copycat!!

TFW you're distracted by your own boobs

Meanwhile, breks today: Scarborough Fair fritatta (seasoned with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme). ∑:9

I live in the mid northern latitudes, basically halfway to the North Pole.

Here, in winter, the sun sets *way* too frickin early, around 16:30.

That's because of Standard Time. It bites.

So I just wish we'd chuck Standard Time altogether. It's not like any crops need attention in winter, here.

I just thought of a good mnemonic for what gets marked in ergative case:

The one "doing the work" on something else.

Gosh, THAT only took me about 20 years…

@Qwyrdo (Yes, I just subtooted myself )

Why in Hecate's name does Tootdon *not* fill in the Starforsaken CWs when replying to a toot?

@a_breakin_glass @Isoleucine For my part, I understand "trans" as "born and socialised as a gender other than your identity"?

So, by my understanding, enbies are trans. Whether or not they experience body dysphoria.

But Stars below I am *not* going to impose my labels on others. That is unethical and rude.

Meanwhile, I actually *do* experience significant body dysphoria, to the point I need surgery. Which is proving to be a big road block.

I ended up just lazing about yesterday, as I didn't want to do a small grocery run (without my buggy). Those… seem to be bad for my back.

So after breks, I should say hi to giene, then go do that.

Might try to finish realizing the continuo on this one sonata movement. (Read: "fill in the chords".)

Come to think of it, I might want to actually write in the figures themselves. (Read: write down the shorthand chord notation.)

Vicarious harpsichord playing, kinda.

@codeawayhaley I *almost* intervened the other day when I saw a lady telling her ~5yo that sparrows were birds, just like chicken and ducks.

But I decided it would be rude to tell the kid "they're really dinosaurs!" 🙃
