begging people to realize that "androgynous" is not code for "somewhere on the soft butch to elven twink continuum"

androgyny can & does mean big tits and huge beards and thick dark body hair and cock bulge and fat rolls and dark skin btw and i am soooo sick and tired of people talking about "androgyny" when they only mean a specific form of androgyny that prioritizes the least amount of visible sex characteristics possible alongside "ethereal" whiteness and thinness stop defining androgyny by lack im gonna go insane

the thing about having hope is that it is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so difficult. but you have to do it anyway

I am a friend to all cats. Yes even the mean ones. They have their reasons.

One time I was in Argentina and I was so tired of trying to speak Spanish because I’m not very good at it lmao so I broke into exasperated English and the retail seller girl quickly understood me and engaged me in conversation. We talked for a while, she introduced me to a makeup brand, and then I decided to buy it. While she was packaging the purchase, she asked me if I were from the US or perhaps the UK and I just said “oh no I’m Brazilian hahah” and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, in clear Portuguese, “I’m Brazilian too”

When my dad went to China on a work trip, his Mandarin speaking wasn’t great but his listening was fine (his first language is Cantonese) and he encountered a German guy who had moved to China to work. My dad knew how to speak German because he studied it in university (but wasn’t great when it came to listening to new vocab he hadn’t studied before), and the German guy knew Mandarin because he lived and worked in China, so they had a conversation where my dad spoke to the German guy in German and the guy responded in Mandarin. I’m sure it confused a lot of their coworkers who just saw the Asian guy speaking German and the white guy speaking Mandarin.

Some years ago, I worked for a manufacturing company that had a service depot in China.  One of the engineers from the main office here in the US spent most of his time at the depot.  The problem was that he didn’t speak *any* of the various Chinese languages, and no one at the depot spoke any English. They all, however, spoke Spanish.
