    @dragonfrog It annoys me that "fellows" is gendered when it shouldn't be, but yes, it is very much a synonym for "guys" in my lexicon. Except that guys can be sometimes be derogatory/dismissive ("some guys"), while fellows & especially fellas (which I'd be more likely to say) is usually friendly.But yeah, it is weird because "fellow" as an adjective is not gendered at all. So the noun should be neutral. But it got adopted into English at a time when the fellows (🤨) using it didn't consider women to be their fellow in social or professional pursuits, so... And oops, now we've hit semantic satiation. fell-ow fe-llow f'low... ‍

    @benroyce these dirty blooded demons act like they're so holy and pure, even though the plight of people of color was caused by them.

    #PennedPossibilities 962 — If there was ever going to be a film or a series based upon your WIP, what do you imagine the soundtrack would be like? What genre?My story of Bolt the day angel messenger investigating her mysterious loss of memory but finding her humanity instead in Reluctant Courier (for the Mob) calls out for something as noir jazzy yet brassy as the Kent Williams orchestral version of The Thin Man†—but I'm no Steven Spielberg to inspire John Williams to come up with the theme to Jaws. I am sure anything I could suggest would be not it. I prefer to fantasize about what could be. =~=~=~=†The Thin Man is an Dashiell Hammett detective story adaptation. The music link to Apple Music will probably only work on Apple devices: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-thin-man/1491493026?i=1491493239[Author retains copyright (c)2026 R.S.]#BoostingIsSharing#gender #fiction #writer #author#cozys #mystery #sf #sff #sciencefiction#writing #writingcommunity #writersOfMastodon #writers#RSdiscussion #RSstory #RSReluctanceStory

    RE: https://norden.social/@moeria/116221322095950288Eine inklusivere Alternative zu #FLINTA*-Veranstaltungen. #Trans Leute müssten sich nicht zwangsouten. Cis "Männer", die die patriachalen Kategorien "Mann"-"Frau" mit ihren toxischen Zuschreibungen ablehnen, Anderes leben wollen, könnten im #Safespace Gleichgesinnter miteinander wachsen, sich erproben wie alle anderen. Fiese Möppel aller Gender hingegen würden in die Schranken verwiesen, damit alle sicher sein können. Alle könnten sie selbst sein ohne #Gender-Argwohn oder #Outing-Bedrängung.
