Apparently this has the remaining chemists all in his menchies right now due to cis being a Latin term meaning "on the same side" I.e. Cis-alpine, cis-isomer etc.
my best friend from high school is a chemist and when he joined an LGBT group in college, the first question from the people there (for whatever insane reason) no context no lead-up was "cis or trans?"
and he, as a good chemist was like "oh trans of course" ("because it's more stable" he said to me later) and the people were like "yay cool!" and he hung out with them for MONTHS with them thinking he was either a trans girl or trans guy (he is neither, just very short and ambiguous). until it came up again when someone was like "wow cool we're all transgender at this table" and he's like "but I'm not???"
they got very upset and accused him of lying to them to join the group?? (he is gay) and then he remembered that very first conversation and was like, oh motherfucker.
this is the same friend who got hit on by a lesbian in Toys R Us because she thought he was a butch girl. until he was like "oh yeah I'm getting a gift for my boyfriend" and she was like, "oh my god I'm so sorry, I thought you were gay!!"
and he's like, "I am..."
and she goes "...you mean, you're bisexual?"
and he goes "...no...just gay..."
and this back and forth continues until it slowly dawns on them both that this girl completely mistook his gender and she is so DEEPLY mortified. and my friend starts trying to console her like "oh well I admire your gumption, you're very brave for asking me out, never give up!!"
Reblogging things I like feels a lot more goblinesque than upvoting ever did. The upvotes felt like "hmm yes, I approve *golf claps*" while reblogging feels like furtively staring at something before shoving it in your mouth and scurrying back underneath the nearest piece of furniture.
Which isn't to say that I don't like it. But I definitely find myself going "maybe I shouldn't reblog this because I've already reblogged a bunch of things today and I don't want to look like I don't have a life," I say as I close the app and reopen it like one of those little automatic box toys with the switches.
God seeing the redditors on here really is just reminding me of everything I like about this site
I have OCD and with that comes quasi-hallucinations, and I grew up watching a ton of horror films so some of the worst of mine are the standard white skin/black hair demon girl type shit.
However, because a lot of them are based on horror film I have found comfort in doing things that “go against” horror films and being like “see? This could never happen.”
(It’s irrational. I know that. But shut up. This is how I cope.)
For example: I started hearing garbled whispering from beneath my table, so I started playing the muppets sound track. Because they would never play Movin’ Right Along when the protagonist is about to get attacked. That won’t happen. Disney, who owns the muppets, wouldn’t give them the rights.
And it fucking worked.

the catholic old white guy asked me to explain lgbtq+ to him and it was honestly kind of funny
“okay! you have 15 seconds to explain non-binary to me if there are only male and female genders”
me: if you lost your genitals would you still feel like a man?
“no”
would you feel like a woman?
“no?”
so you wouldn’t feel male or female
“yeah what’s your point?”
So, you wouldn’t fit into the gender binary of male or female? :)
him:
“so non-binary just means not feeling male or female?”
Yeah basically
“so why do they use “they” so much”?
if you were a woman would you want to be called a man?
“no…”
And the opposite?
“no…”
Why why would you want someone to call you male or female if you’re not male or female then?”
it’s not a perfect way of thinking but i had 15 seconds and i think it got the point across
I work remote and it's freaking brilliant.
I'm a fast worker, so when I'm done I'm done.
Nobody trying to pressure me into more work.
Never going back.
