Wow, that's so cool! The Public Universal Friend sounds like one of the coolest people ever. The Friend wasn't in the Nonbinary Wiki yet, so I'm adding the Friend to that Wiki now.

In the history of nonbinary gender: https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/History_of_nonbinary_gender#Eighteenth_century

And in the list of notable nonbinary people: https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Notable_nonbinary_people#Public_Universal_Friend

Can anybody recommend a #SeananMcGuire or #MiraGrant book where none of the antagonists are ~crazy~? I liked Into the Drowning Deep, but everything I've read of hers since then is... not great on that front. I really want to like her, but it's discomforting to see that and Summer Glau Syndrome be the go-to depictions of mental illness in at least three books so far.

"...the Friend asked not to be referred to with gendered pronouns; followers respected these wishes, avoiding gender-specific pronouns even in their private diaries, and referring only to "the Public Universal Friend" or short forms such as "the Friend" or "P.U.F."[25]"

I offer Public Universal Friend, reborn genderless in 1776, as a counterpoint to people who think non-binary identities are a new thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Universal_Friend

I think the quiet reflection of Remembrance Day is, if anything, more important now than ever. All those people died as a result of a series of terrible mistakes. None of it was really necessary. The reason we remember is so we don't repeat those mistakes.

Reject nationalism, reject fascism, reject empires, and reject military solutions to economic problems.

Funghi at Woods Mill.

There are some things in Guardians of the Galaxy that I just cannot suspend disbelief over: primarily that the orange fuzzy coating on the Walkman headphones have lasted so long.

if a cis person asks you about "the operation", don't worry, they're just being crass. they don't actually know about the covert strike to overthrow the fascist oligarchs in this country
