Folks, friends, yāallā¦. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people donāt know that, I donāt want to be a dick about it, but Iāve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write āesk*mo kissesā? Just say ānuzzled nosesā or something.
Iām not here to call anybody out, itās been in multiple fics, Iām not vague posting. This is just a psa. šš»

Hey, i see that you're drowning. Here's some arm floaties, hope they help.
Oh, I see they are really helping huh?
"Why is that person using arm floaties? they're not drowning..."
I see that you're not drowning, you're doing good so I'm gonna take the arm floaties away from you. Wait, why are you drowning again? You were fine one second ago, you must be faking it.
"Can I please have some arm floaties?"
"But you haven't entered the pool yet."
"Yeah but I can't swim, I know that I can't swim, so some arm floaties would really help me not to drown."
"You're asking for arm floaties without even trying to swim, you're just lazy and you want more help than the others have, the others are doing just fine..."
"I don't need to get into the watter to know that I can't swim. You're telling me I can't have arm floaties unless I'm actively drowning? You won't give them to me even though I warned you I will drown?"
This post was never about arm floaties.

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

I was today years old when I learned that when you type āotp: trueā in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

one thing about HRT i think is underdiscussed is the fact that if you're on testosterone, you can (sometimes) just produce Too Much Blood, and the way to fix having Too Much Blood is to Do Bloodletting. There are modern day people doing bloodletting as part of their transitions. why does no one talk about this
