aw poor baby.... at least she gets all the snacks she can wish for

Thank you for all the well-wishes!  She’s perked up a lot, but is still not 100%, so I’m going to call the vet to get another round of antibiotics (since I’m giving them via nebulizer, the course of treatment is a lot shorter than for oral antibiotics).

Will she have to be separated from the other budgies?

We...we can't refer to people who's gender id we're unaware of as "They" now? (am i reading this right??)

no they’re saying if you use they after you find out their gender it’s misgendering

which is just

fuckng incredibly like cosmically incredibly dumb bc

let’s say you see a person and you don’t know their gender, right? Then you find out that they are female. You would literally

only use they

when they weren’t there

which is the exact situation in which everyone USES THEY FOR ANYONE ANYWAY

THEY IS ALREADY IN COMMON USE IN ENGLISH LIKE WHAT THE FUCK

gltchbtch Good luck!

gltchbtch As the target audience for the film, I'm wondering what I missed as well. Divorced from the expectation that it be something like Get Out and wanting it to be a real social commentary on what it takes to get ahead in the workplace as a black woman...I didn't have any problems with it. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Yeah, I honestly wonder if that’s a lot it. Like, as if because (as all horror), it has a sociopolitical element, there is an expectation that it has to therefore provide extremely insightful commentary.

gltchbtch Love the color! Love the blush!

gltchbtch You're right and you should say it. It's not ableist to point out that the way some people engage w/ fandom is completely maladaptive and no good.

i agree. (i say as someone who has had many coping skills for various brain-related things over the years, not all of which have proven to be good for me in the long-term even if they offered some short-term relief from whatever i was suffering!!)

though i also have no desire to argue with anyone anymore. (unless i have to interact with them on an on-going basis and whatever we are arguing about is a problem that will repeat.)
