If your'e a cis person who REAAAAAAAly dislikes being asked what your pronouns are, that might, just maybe, be a tiny clue that you're not quite as cis as you think you are?
Not always, of course! But something worth examining.
It's one of the reasons I think it's a terrible idea to ask people their pronouns in a public setting like work meetings. If a person is not sure about their gender identity, or trans or nonbinary, but not out in present company you're forcing them to choose between outing themselves, or misgendering themselves.
And as always YOU -- YES THIS MEANS YOU! -- ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO GETS TO SAY WHO YOU ARE end of story.

Since "shelled" can mean both "has a shell" (shelled insects) and "its shell has been removed" (shelled peanuts) , what does "unshelled" mean 🤔

Today was the first day in months that I had a completely free day to write.
So, obviously I spent it tweaking my author website and watching several streaming tv series.
Don't judge me...
A belated tootery thanks to @scottishbktrust for the motivational mug after winning their monthly 50 word story writing challenge.
Fair tricket!

I'm having fun learning and poking around Mastodon. Of course, there's something I should be doing. What was that? Hmmm..... #shouldbewriting
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people!
I'm Avrila, migrating from the same handle at That Bird Site. I'm a #professor for my local junior college, as well as #tutoring and teaching privately such as on #Outschool. Also, I'm finishing up a second Master's degree (my first was in #MathEducation, but I burned out on K-12 teaching) and probably #ShouldBeWriting on my #thesis about the history of #LieAlgebra right now.
Calc You Later!

Last year, the 50k words I wrote during #nanowrimo became the first draft of a book that I later sold to a small publisher. This year, I'm failing miserably. How's everyone else doing with #nanowrimo2022 ? #writingcommunity #writing #shouldbewriting

Should be writing my hockey boys but Kolya isn't participating, so I'm going to think out loud.
Next story's central conflict (after Higher Than Hay Bales) is set in the fall of 2013: Family knows now so do we tell anyone on the team? Nick says sure, Kolya is paranoid like whoah.
Story after that is set at Sochi, I think - I need to resolve NYC team response first.
