    Happy 2021 Everyone!

    First blog post of the new year! From me, anyway.

    I know I've got projects I need to finish, and I am working on them (slowly) but I wanted to let you all know that I've been poking at a new large project, and getting a few chapters and pre-planning done while I work on other things. Consider this a 'sneak preview' of what's to come later this year:

    Quick December Update (in case I vanish)

    Hey, writing this mostly to try and get some stress out and also just as an advisory. Got a city inspection and landlord thing coming up with less than 24 hours warning, and to be honest this place is sort of falling apart. I'm hoping that it'll be mostly a cursory inspection and we'll be done, but if I go silent for a while it might be because I'm not in a place where I can easily post.

    Reconnecting with Old Friends

    So I thought today would be a good day for happier news. Goodness knows there's enough negativity in the world and drama around horse websites. I also just wanted to let people know about a secret project I've been working on.

Nothing big, just a life update. · 1:03am Jul 11th, 2020

So, just a quick blog.

I've been thinking about it for a few months now, and after a significant amount of soul-searching I've decided gender is bullshit and I don't like 'em. Not one bit. They're fine for other people but like olives on pizza I just tolerate it without complaining instead of enjoying them the way other people do.

Pineapple on pizza is valid, by the way. Anyone who believes otherwise is not welcome in Flavortown.

That said, I've decided I'm going to out-and-out say my preferred pronouns are they/them. I don't really care if people use he or she or zhxi or whatever for me, to be honest. I just notice I really prefer it when it's agender.

Anyway, not a big deal, especially not in this fandom, but I finally told someone else about it today and it felt like a weight off my chest, so I figured I'd post it here too at least out of habit.

Have a radical day everyone! May at least some of us live to 2021!

Good for you, Magnet! 👍 This takes bravery, and I hope everyone here has the decency to stay positive.

As for neutral pronouns, that silly artifact of a nonsensical language, I've been waiting for Futurama's 'shklee' to catch on, haha.

Pineapple on pizza is how you get a giant sheet of denatured curds and stray protein juice on your pizza, like a slick of unlovable misery, and should be tried as a war crime.

Pineapple sheltered safely from the cheese under the sauce layer is barely tolerable as a small allowance for Hawaiian, when made correctly.

THANK YOU! SOMEONE ELSE WHO AGREES, PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA IS FOR THE CULTURED.

All caps needed.

Bacon, Pineapple, and either rainbow bell peppers or jalapenos, with light cheese. That's the only way to pizza.

Awesome. :D

And, sure, but not just pineapple. D:

People who put pineapple on pizza are the Nazis of pizza.

Its good to clear things for yourself makes you feel more comfortable and happy. Me i am not going to treat anyone special because they feel like they are entitled to it not going to make others not too though do as you please dont bother me( not you. In general) good day bois and gals.

Just as long as you don't persecute me for liking Pineapple on Pizza. I understand it's a hot topic in these times.

5305659
XD i have never tried it cant hate it or like it! though it does not sound so bad i like sweet salty food blends

*GASP!* You're a... pineappleist! The horror! But you still like BBQ chicken pizza, right?

BBQ chicken pizza with pineapple is actually the standard BBQ chicken pizza at my local place... to ask for no pineapple is to be one labelled as of those people! :pinkiehappy:

Still do not understand the vehemence of the anti-pineapple folks... pineapple is one of the more common toppings over here. Anchovies and prawns are less common... it still makes my local pizzeria bloke happy every time I say "With anchovies, of course. It ain't a supreme pizza without 'em!". Bacon is commonly added to any pizza without it in the standard toppings... always remember the slogan "Everything is better with bacon!" :twilightsmile:

Eh, I'll admit to being a basic bitch with my pizza. Just put pepperoni and/or sausage with some garlic salt and cayenne on my pizza and I'll be happy. I can however see the appeal pineapple as a topping.

5305740 Now I have mixed emotions. It will take a pizza or two in order to calm my emotions. I'll start tomorrow. Supreme.

Good choice, Supreme pizza with the optional anchovies is a good choice for an enjoyable, filling and suitable contemplative meal. May you find your balance amongst the world of good pizza and garlic bread. :twilightsmile:

The only thing I don't like on pizza is fish. Or when they switch the sauce to something else. That's always a horrific mistake yet for some reason they keep coming up with new variations on it. Just accept that mildly spicy tomato sauce is the way to go people.

Oh, also I'd say something supportive about your personal revelation, but that feels kind of awkward since we don't really know one another. Is congratulations appropriate? If it is, I offer them. I'll say this: Language can be really awkward, but I'll try to remember and use your preference.

I admit I have cultural-rooted issues concerning pineapple on pizza, as well as with another long list of ingredients which I'm deeply suspicious of. Maybe one day I'll be able to overcome it.

As for the rest, I'm happy that you found some clarity regarding yourself in what is otherwise what we could call a quite chaotic time.:heart:

We stan an enby pineapple-loving horsewords master.

I really do not understand all the gender drama.

I suppose it is because both of my parents are biologists, but it has always been quite simple for me. Your sex is defined by your biology, either male of female (there are exceptions, but they are so damn rare in humans and if you have the disgrace to be one, you will have so many other issues with your genes that your sex will be the least of your problems), and this only matters for defining what your body does in procreation.

For everything else, it doesn't actually matters. A skirt is not going to combust because a guy tries to put it on and a girl is not going to grow a dick because she likes wrestling. To know that some many people have so many issues with their gender, or worse how far some people go because of others gender, its a bit confusing, disturbing and enraging, depending of the action.


I also really do not understand the Pineapple on Pizza War. In my country it is considered one of the basic flavors, every single pizza place has it as an option. It's not the most requested, it's not the least, it just is.

If you're happy to let people be and do anything they physically can no matter what their chromosomes or their crotchbits, ok then!

and if you have the disgrace to be one,

Maybe I am taking this entirely out of context, but it it doesn't sound like a very nice thing to call someone a 'disgrace' for a something they didn't even choose., even if you probably don't specifically mean people being what commonly gets called transgender.

For everything else, it doesn't actually matters. A skirt is not going to combust because a guy tries to put it on and a girl is not going to grow a dick because she likes wrestling.

I think you mean well and want to let people be themselves, I guess? But that 'disgrace' bit leading into this is going to confuse people.

Fuller context for future reference:

Yeah, disgrace wasn't the right choice of words, misfortune would be more correct. Having a serious genetic issue goes from "you will have physical problems all your life" at best to "you will suffer as your body breaks down and survive at most to your teens" at worst, not a nice life to have.

Everything else you got my meaning right, your choices are your own, no-one else can decide for you what you want and the level of persecution some people suffer because of their choices is both wrong and absurd. As long as you don't hurt someone else you should be allowed to do whatever you want.

Yes, I agree misfortune is a better word for the situation you describe.

I know this is an old blog which is long outdated, and sorry if I say anything offensive and stuff, but I like putting my opinion on an interesting topic like this, so…
I thought genders are supposed to be used to decide what bathrooms we go to and what sports we play at school and during competitions.:trollestia:
