@kasdeya it probably should be encouraged in all documentation to use the long flags more often and leave the short flags to those who are accustomed to it:

When you ask most people why they hate geese, it's always some story like, "Oh yeah, when I was a kid, I thought it would be funny to go pick up a stick and go hit the geese at the park, but then the rushed at me together and attacked me instead. I was scared and cried and now I'm traumatized for the rest of my life."

@salad_bar_breath awawa no you

@salad_bar_breath i think the “police […] others” is definitely the a-ha moment of this – we don’t just police ourselves and others of the same assigned gender: policing the opposite gender (when subscribing to binary gender) is just as common. in order to effectively police the opposite gender, what is expected must be understood.

One of my favorite takes ever on "male vs. female socialization" ever, that I still use in my analysis to this day, was one that was purported by Jesse Early (the YouTuber). It goes something like:

It's not simply that people assigned male are socialized as male and people assigned female are socialized female. Rather, all persons are both taught the rules and expectations for males as well as females. Then, the go out in the world and police themselves and others accordingly.

Put simply, we are all given both male and female socialization.

i generally prefer art from individual artists as opposed to large production efforts because it’s typically more meaningful and personal – there’s an identifiable fingerprint to its creator which is not usually present in more popular, high budget media.

though i can also really appreciate popular media when someone i care about connects with it – but that’s usually for the same reason i like art from small artists: it reveals something personal and meaningful about the one i care about. i find it interesting that the creation of art and the enjoyment of art can have the effect of revealing inner truths and qualities like that

i’m also just a big slut for my friends and partners and want to soak in everything i can about them

i think its interesting that “liking popular media” goes through waves of being fashionable
