Right now, it’s 40 degrees, but it ‘feels like’ 39. On May 5th. We are nearly halfway through the year, and we’re still having frost warnings. As anyone who knows anything about me knows, I love cold weather–the colder the better. The problem is that I do not love cold mixed with hot. Going from… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about knowing what you know and suddenly hitting your limits. My brother was over with his girlfriend tonight— Side note: My brother’s girlfriend is also GF/DF, which means that I can be chill about what they’re bringing over. I don’t have to worry about my big issues, gluten and dairy.… Continue Reading
There’s a saying, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” It’s trite, yes, but it’s also true. That’s not a problem in and of itself with one huge caveat–the person knows that there are limitations to what they know. Sadly, there are many people who do not know that, and many of them are in… Continue Reading
Because I live in my own little world, I often forget that most people are more fixated on gender than I am. Here is my post from two days ago (I skipped yesterday) in which I maundered about the travesty of gender roles rigidity. I’m still thinking about it because I’m still watching stuff that… Continue Reading
One more post about gender? Yes, sadly. Here is the post from yesterday in which I talked about how I just did not feel gender at all or get it. I was reading a question and (answers) about gender (eh, kind of. It’s good enough for the purpose of what I want to write in… Continue Reading
I want to talk about gender, age, honorifics, and Asian culture for one more post. In the last post, I ended up talking about labels, toxic love, and whatever else was on my mind. Today, I’m going to continue the trend of intending to talk about one topic and ending up talking about anything but.… Continue Reading
In my post from yesterday, I was going to talk about gender and ended up talking about how I was a weirdo in general. Which is fine because it’sr related–somewhat. I also talked about what a disappointment the movie, Knives Out, was for me. I won’t get into all of it, but I will say… Continue Reading
I have one more post in me about gender/age, Asian culture, and why I really don’t fit anywhere. Here’s the post I wrote about it yesterday in which I talked about how society likes to say that you should be yourself, but then punishes the people who are way outside those norms. I’m not talking… Continue Reading
I am so done with gender, but it’s not done with me. Or rather, this society isn’t done with it. Here is my post about it from yesterday and how I could deal with age-based honorifics (barely), but I just can’t with gender-based ones. I know that this happens in some European countries, too. In… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about how I found East Asian culture to be fascinating (if incomprehensible). I was mentioning that I’ve been watching Korean content, and I’ve been mildly obsessed with the tradition of calling people honorifics based on age and gender. I was talking about it with my mother because it’s similar… Continue Reading
