I’m doing my part!!

A chalkboard sign in a coffee shop with a drawing of a laurel wreath bracketing the words: "Ides of March special! Et Tu Latte - Honey, almond, and cinnamon syrups with steamed milk and espresso"ALT

I feel like it really adds something to know that this coffee shop was right next to the state capitol building. There is a non-zero chance one of these lattes ended up in the senate chamber.

#am i crwzy or does this drink have fuck all to do w the ides of march #beyond the nameALT

Congratulations, you’ve unlocked the secret nerd bonus! I actually ended up texting a friend who specializes in the early Roman empire for advice on designing this special.

Honey and almond are pretty self-explanatory, as honey and nuts both figured heavily in Roman desserts. Cinnamon, meanwhile, means dead rich guy. It was insanely expensive to obtain, and the wealthiest of Romans used it to scent funeral pyres, so that the smell of burning cinnamon would cover the scent of cremation.

sending this to my barista fiance who’s sending it to the guy who makes the decisions abt drinks

i’m scheduling this so I can make it for the ides <3

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for “mage”

some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don’t care if it sounds a little silly. people thought “missus” sounded crass at first. call me mg.

benefits of mg:

  • easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like “mayd” or “maygh”)
  • ONE SYLLABLE!!! (“individual” is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually
  • ends in a soft vowel sound, so it’ll flow right into the next word (“ind” halts the whole sentence)
  • fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter
  • distinct enough that it can’t be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I’ll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)
  • wizard.

drawbacks:

  • there aren’t any
  • yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don’t give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.

I had to find this from somewhere and reblog it again because I work at a high school summer camp and told the kids to call me Mg. Day during our first day programming today.

They went NUTS for it! Not only did they love it, but there was an immediate click in understanding about they/them pronouns *from the entire cohort* that I haven’t experienced in 3 years of programming.

And linking it back to the root words Mister and Missus as OP so wonderfully provided helped establish that using they/them or neopronouns isn’t just playing around or “Miss but different” the way it can be with Mx. I used to try to go by Teacher Day because I was still getting she/her’d all the time but that also came with the problems of the students only being able to see me in the role of Teacher and being intimidated by the educational institution and their grades (I don’t even work for the school I’m external staff I don’t even have WiFi access). And I’d still get she/her’d all the time.

As soon as I introduced Magister they saw that a nonbinary person could be an Adult with a *societal* role outside the binary. It was immediately visible in their ecstatic faces. And I didn’t get misgendered today.

The only downside is I’m gonna have to practice my card tricks because I did promise I could do magic!

Fucked up that your friends are just random strangers to random strangers. Like they are seen by people who don’t know them and mean nothing to them. Just a face they barely register in a crowd.

I want to put a gold star sticker on all my friends so that people know that this one is very nice and cool.

put red pants on them like you do with miis

i feel rly bad about being a dry texter but also i literally cant do anything else. u get 1 (one) high energy text per month and then its a whole lot of Nothing ™️

i mean the last time i forced myself to have high energy texts i ended up snapping, being unable to answer any texts, and being terrified whenever i got a notification sooooooo \_( :/ )_/ (dont judge me im too lazy to go find the shrug emoticon)
