The “Hints of vanilla” make me think fem. Masc has more of an acrid, oniony undercurrent.

I like generic names for hacking groups like this. It could easily describe dozens of my friends and their polycules.

As far as moderation goes, nothing is changing.

It really doesn’t. But it does make raging misogynists pissy and insecure.

You can only do it once before needing a new friend though.

The full remote time during the pandemic allowed me to slowly update my profile pic for work until people started asking me what my pronouns were.

I tuck because I don’t want to look down and see the thing either.

Can’t relate, I’m a secret third thing (And also gay).

That Dr Pepper could use some sour cream!

Ah, my spirit animal.

Women are a certain way because of the way I was born.

Maybe the landlord could cut out the avocado toast, or get a job.
