You Basically Have Four Options:

You basically have four options:

1. What most of my non binary friends do, change. One sentence uncle, one sentence aunt. דוד/דודה if you prefer Hebrew

2. Use plural. That sounds unnatural, but I guess works. דודים in Hebrew

3. Use the male version. The male version is always the default one, so you can you that. דוד

4. I have heard some people use things that are in-between, like דודֶה (dode) but the can only refer to you as aunt/uncle in a gender neutral way, and of you say "my aunt/uncle is great!" The great part will be gendered

Question for nonbinary jumblr:

I’m nonbinary & need a gender neutral alternative to aunt/uncle for my nieces & nephews to call me. I know English has “auncle” & “pibling” but both sound uncomfortable to my ear. My instinct to construct an at least natural-sounding equivalent would be to go back to the etymological root for aunt & uncle to reconstruct a version that isn’t gendered. The problem is, aunt & uncle don’t share an etymological root, so this isn’t really possible.

On the other hand, דודה & דוד in Hebrew clearly do share etymology & seem like they would relatively easy to make gender neutral (besides the obvious that “gender neutral” isn’t how Hebrew typically works lol). However, I’m aware that there’s a project/movement to Queer Hebrew / introduce non-binary gender to it, and I’m curious if anyone knows what would be a way to make דודה / דוד gender-neutral?

Heated discourse in the פתיתים fandom about the best פתיתים shape

בצו הראשון שלי, הייתי 161. עליתי על המכשיר מדידת גובה בלייזר. הוא אמר שאני 210. החיילות באו לכתוב את זה, ואז קלטו שמשהו לא בסדר. רשמו שאני 158

אני: איזה משחק אכזרי גנים הפסדתי בו שגרם לי, גבר טרנס, להיות רק מטר 56, מתחת לגובה ממוצע אפילו לנשים!

אני: איזה משחק אכזרי גנים הפסדתי בו שגרם לי, גבר טרנס, להיות

I'm really.... I'm really at the point where I can't see being against the concept of a state of Jewish self-determination as a gentile as not stemming from antisemitism. Jewish people were kicked out of their homeland and then spent hundreds and hundreds of years as second-class citizens or worse in other countries, rarely if ever legally full citizens, constantly getting chased out or expelled over and over again as governments and gentile populations changed their mind about letting them in their country.

How can you justify not wanting a population like this to have a country of their own where they don't have to worry about the government or population waking up one day and deciding "it's time to kick the Jews out (again)"? Hundreds and hundreds of years of gentile political debates over "are Jews citizens?" where the answer keeps being "no, not really."

"But in an ideal world, things wouldn't be like that and they'd be able to live safely wherever they want!"

Yeah, well we're sure as fuck not living in that ideal world and a lot of you saying stuff like this are doing jack shit to try and make that ideal "safe for Jews" world either so this rings extremely hollow.

And the crazy thing is I've seen people over the years act like they're so understanding and supportive of concepts like Black Americans creating their own self-determined state and with the treatment of the base concept of Israel I'm saying a bunch of those people are either lying completely or (maybe worse) were genuine but specifically don't believe in Jews having rights.

And that's how it always ends up. Nothing extends to Jews. You all understand and sympathize with horrible oppression leading to extremist elements in oppressed groups but you never believe that about Jews. Extremist Jewish elements aren't a result of hundreds and hundreds of years worth of violent oppression, they're proof of the degeneracy of Jews (yes that wording is super fucking intentional), proof that we can't let them have rights, that we can't let them have one single place where they have any genuine power, proof that they need gentile oversight, that they want to conquer and rule the world, that they were the secret super oppressors the whole time.

Are there problems with Israel? Hell yes, welcome to the whole fucking world. No state's hands are clean. And the Jewish population of Israel has hundreds and hundreds of years of trauma and oppression coloring the various political atmospheres in it. If you refuse to acknowledge that while acknowledging it for every other type of historically oppressed group other than Jews, you're antisemitic. This intense scrutiny of Israel not given to any other country is antisemitic. This intense scrutiny of Jews not given to any other oppressed group is antisemitic. This historical revisionism where Jews were happy, well-treated second-class citizens who suddenly turned ungrateful towards their benevolent gentile rulers is antisemitic.

Shame on every single one of you.

Me,non Christian: *getting out the popcorn*

I was raised protestant, and I have actually never met a catholic person in real life. Probably seen them on the street while travelling, but never had an actual conversation with one. Most of what I know about them is that they got custody of all the cool art in the divorce.

In the video game starbound you can play as an alien that was raised on earth. Learning about your specie's culture is as weird to you as learning about others (except humans)

Random idea: there are plenty of stories about human characters raised by nonhumans, who rediscover human society and decide whether they want to embrace their heritage or not. This goes back to Tarzan and probably much further. (Romulus & Remus?) But we don't see the reverse very often.

Sure we've got Spock and Worf, with their mixed upbringings, but they spend their lives in similarly mixed cultural spheres. That's very different from the Tarzan experience.

And sure, the point of these stories is usually to show how bizarre human civilization can be from an outsider perspective. Nothing wrong with that! Plus we as writers already know about human civilization. We don't need to do any worldbuilding there.

But I'd sure enjoy reading about a little dragon who was raised among housecats and human children discovering a dragon society where everything is fireproof and no one tells them to get off the table. The body language is alien and their endurance flying is garbage, but they can make a huge mess when they eat a rat, and they only get told to take a dust bath afterward!

A centaur discovering civilization where every room has enough space for people to turn around without knocking over a table. Pity there's no dogs here, though. They're gonna miss ol' Fluffers.

Goblins, harpies, elves, etc exploring the pros and cons of the cultures that should have raised them, if not for one particular turn of fate. Aliens too! This could be sci-fi as well as fantasy.

What the characters do about it is up to you.

Do it. Write the fic. We will all love it

Look Daredevil vs Kingpin is a classic and it's great but imagine how infinitely funnier it would be if it was Kingpin vs Jessica Jones. Just imagine how helpless Fisk would be against her. She is a not a vigilante since she has a private detective licence so she is legal. He can't intimidate her because she is a depressed alcoholic with super strength. He can't threaten her loved ones because the only person she ever truly loved is her sister who is in the most high secure prison on the planet way out of Fisk's reach. He can't besmirch her reputatation and set the media against her because she doesn't have any repuation. He can hold the most eloquent passionate speech denoucning her and when the media finds her passed out in the garbage in front of a bar and asks for rebuttal she will just call him a prenteious cocksucker and New York will immediately side with her. Also as a private detective not only is she used to digging dirt but the dirt she digs is legally admissable so will immediately take down quite a few of his minions And worst of all at the end of the day Fisk is a brawler. He dreams of nothing more then to fight Daredevil one on one and beat him but he can't do that with Jessica because she has actual super strength and she can knock him out with one punch....if she is holding back. If she is not holding back hat one punch would burst him open like meat pinata. He is physically impotent against her and this would enrgae him to an insane degree

My favorite thrift store is separated by color. So if I'm next to the yellow aisle I don't look, because I don't look good in yellow, but the red and blue aisles? I definitely look on both sides.

But usually thrift stores are separated by type of clothing? Like dresses, skirts, pants, shirts...

No Nuance. If You Don't Go Thrift Shopping, Just Answer Whatever You Think You Would Do, Whichever Option
No Nuance. If You Don't Go Thrift Shopping, Just Answer Whatever You Think You Would Do, Whichever Option

No nuance. If you don't go thrift shopping, just answer whatever you think you would do, whichever option feels more logical to you. If you are incapable of contemplating what you would do in hypothetical situations, please turn off your device and go sit on the floor. If you have some third, alternative foraging method, please share in the tags.

Frank Castle being the only other person aside from Karen and Matt to mourn and be outraged by what happened to Foggy was not what I was expecting. In fact his outward anger at what happened to Foggy nearly rivaled Matt's.

His relationship with Foggy was testy at best--so to hear him actually call Foggy by his name and say he deserved better was very gut wrenching.

I don't even know if he ever spoke Foggy's name until Born Again, but the way he did it and the reverence in which he did was something else.

He compared Foggy and Foggy's death to his own child, and a need to exact vengeance.
