To my mutuals, I'm going to be experimenting with using any pronouns for the foreseeable future; no name change—I'm still just James—but you can hit me with whatever you want and I'll figure out what sticks as time passes.
@beetlecat Not disagreeing with you at all but, ironically—despite all the issues with it now—the origins of it were quite benign. It was originally just the Korean equivalent of typing "LOL" (i.e., laughing).

When people say fascism is “on the way” or that the orange man will be the only purveyor of it, I know they haven’t been paying attention. This is fascism. Fascism is here now.
