the change from AD to CE feels really emblematic of how surface-level and meaningless the supposed secularization of the western world is

Common Era is definitely preferable over Anno Domini, if only because christ is no lord of mine, but it’s only less christianocentric in that it doesn’t overtly make reference to christ in its title. the benchmark is still the same. you’re still measuring when the common era began using the (supposed) birth of christ, separating history into “the period before jesus” and “the period after jesus”. this conception of history is no less defined by christianity than it was before, except that now it’s easier to ignore because you’ve draped it in a “secular”, “modern” veneer and done nothing to actually unpack the ways in which western society intrinsically centers christianity.

I like this idea but if we changed it now then next year would be the year 67 which would make a lot of people angry

I do think "literally zero evidence indicates that gatekeeping medical transition does anything to prevent regret, but the harm done by gatekeeping is extensively documented" is a much stronger argument than "regret isn't real" cause there's always going to be some anecdote that puts you in a weak-looking rhetorical position for the latter, but the former is pretty unassailable.

This guy’s prosthetist is actually my partner’s dad! They host a retreat called bilateral camp (you do not have to be a bilateral amputee or a leg amputee or even an amputee at all to show up) every year as a support group and a great hang. Tremendous folks. I’ve never met limblossboss but I have it on good authority that he is, indeed, hilarious

First time I see the full lyrics without it being take me to snurch (snail church)

What really makes this for me is that OP could have phoned it in on the chorus and just repeated the same fics, but no. They found a unique one every time. Class act.

before there were blorbos there were little meow meows and before there were little meow meows there were cinnamon rolls
