interim
To all of my lovely flist, my apologies. I have been sick and (mostly) away from my house+computer+camera+boys+comfortable bed DX this week, and on top of it I'm looking after my little brother while the parental-types are galavanting in foreign countries.
One of my little brother's teachers seems to be a feminist who thinks it's more appropriate to use feminine pronouns for everyone on a personality quiz instead of something gender neutral, and I feel compelled to ask her why... I just don't want to cause issues for the bro. I am infinitely curious how you justify "she, herself," as being equal vs. "they, themselves, or s/he, him/herself." Maybe it's just because I'm all about the gender neutrality in most aspects of life, but it genuinely irks me that she'd just flip the original exclusionary "he" into a new and equally exclusionary "she"... Baffled, in fact. If I were a parent, I'd want a word with her. But I rant.
Tomorrow: Gin's new faceup, complete with freckles, news on the Taka front, and hopefully a good night's sleep in my own bed. Perhaps even some Saph spam, since a package from hunted made it today. Thank you, Mid!<3
