the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit

And also the picture could not more clearly be a picture of a pig and they get mad when you point that out.

Died and came back with a new special interest

you need to stop acting like bisexual men aren’t capable of being just as flamboyant, effeminate, gender nonconformist, or femme as gay guys. bisexual men aren’t straight men on a gay visa they’re fully fledged queer members of the queer community including all the culture and gender fuckery as the rest of us.

I need more of this characterization in romance books. Give me more flamboyant men!
