This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'll be honest, it took me a while to start remembering "they/them", even for myself. However, now I have the opposite problem, which is that I tend to substitute "they/them" for gendered pronouns. Normally that's not a problem because most people accept neutral pronouns, but some people can be very picky about their pronouns and then I have to remember that "they/them" can't be universally applied to everyone.
