they/them

I am a queer, autistic, disabled, anarchist. I have a focus on fighting ableism, and run spaces with that being an intention. One thing I put a lot of focus on is ableist language. I stream, run a youtube channel, and a discord.

    1. yes, they were specifically asked for, and closed captions are also available
    2. I will try increasing the size for my next video and see how that works
    3. the point was to summarize it for people with difficulties with short term memory (a lot of the people I work with), and putting it before may add confusion on that end
    4. I was trying less pauses with this one, but yeah might not be as good.

    and for information overload, the point is that it is as condensed and short as possible, i deal with a lot of people who need that level of information to stay engaged. This exists as an alternative to those slow 2+hour essays. Ultimately that will likely always be an issue for a good portion of people





  • it is clear when you look at ecosystems for example, if a single disease can wipe out all adult trees in a forest it kills all new sprouts and it stops being a forest. (Tree sprouts tend to not do well in direct sunlight because they expect the shade of trees above them and all that)

    so if you only have one kind of trees you are on a timer

    this is the same with how we interact, and why organizing in systems that can coexist with as many other systems as possible is a requirement for survival. This is one of the biggest reasons why I’m an anarchist, because the point of the state is to force everyone to exist within one set of rules and such









  • I mean pronouns dedicated to gender, so gender has pronouns dedicated to it, not that it is some universal list. Also, you aren’t “forcing an ideology” on someone, if you describe something in terms of an ideology people must use an understanding of that ideology to process your words, for example. If I write something in binary you have to use a binary decoder to read it, you will get nothing useful if you use something else, so forcing you to decode binary is forcing you to use binary. There is nothing scary about that.

    people who are parts of a system can do pronouns either way, so this isn’t much more relevant to them in the first place. Trans people in the closet are included in this.

    Some of the same people will see you in different spaces, so it will have a different impact.


  • pronouns do have some overlap with those, yeah

    practical use for a lot of things comes after building the systems where it is available in the first place. I have seen it used to designate what kind of furry someone is, I am not in those communities much so I don’t know the specifics but I imagine that can save time and confusion. One set of pronouns for those furry spaces, one for outside.

    I use it/its in spaces where I do not plan on engaging with people as individuals, like on youtube where I get hundreds of comments and I’m not going to bother reading usernames. Designating the kind of interaction I will carry out and what to expect there is a good use case.

    It is hard to find more examples as it is such a personal thing and not many people do it yet
