Switching gender identification on a regular basis.
Switching gender identification isn't a thing I consciously do, it's a thing that happens to me, and I'm pretty sure Anonus is the same way. What was tedious for me was logging in/out when my gender identification changed, and pronounshit isn't that important to me most of the time so it doesn't matter.
Well, OK. The etymology of witch is a bit uncertain and subject to debate, but Old English had two words, the masculine 'wicca' and the feminine 'wicce'.
But what do I know. I am less offended by various things that offend various other people here.
"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" is a short story in The Jungle Book (1894) by Rudyard Kipling about the adventures of a valiant young mongoose.[1]
The story has often been anthologized, and has been published more than once as a short book in its own right. The story was adapted as an animated short in 1965 and as a live-action feature film in the Soviet Union in 1975. The same year, animator Chuck Jones adapted the story for an animated TV special in the United States.[2]
Plot summary
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi in Chuck Jones' animated film
The story follows the experiences of a young mongoose
named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (for his chattering vocalizations) after he is
adopted into a British family residing in India, as a pet and as
protection against venomous cobra snakes. After becoming friendly with
some of the other creatures inhabiting the garden, Rikki is warned of
two cobras
Nag and Nagaina, who are angered by the family's presence on their
territory. Accordingly Nag enters the house's bathroom before dawn but
is attacked by Rikki. The struggle that ensues awakens the human family
and the father kills Nag with a shotgun.
The grieving Nagaina attempts revenge against Rikki's humans,
cornering them as they take breakfast on an outdoor veranda. While
Nagaina is distracted by a female tailor bird
Rikki destroys the cobra's unhatched brood of eggs except for one. He
carries it to where Nagaina is threatening to bite the child Teddy while
his parents watch helplessly. Nagaina, enraged, recovers her egg, but
is pursued by Rikki-Tikki away from the house to the cobra's underground
nest where an unseen final battle takes place. Rikki emerges triumphant
from the hole declaring Nagaina dead. His subsequent role is to protect
the family by keeping the garden free from any future intrusion by
snakes.

My girlfriend (22f) and I (24m) are having a disagreement about a picture.
I met my girlfriend, Sam, 8 months ago at a house party and we've been pretty much inseparable since then. She's witty, intelligent, funny and gorgeous and we are almost the perfect couple.
The only issue I've been having recently is a framed picture she keeps over her bed. It's of an older gentleman lying in bed with a scowl on his face. She lives with roommates and I live alone so we spend most of our time together at my place and I've only been in her room a couple times so I've never really brought it up.
For a while I just figured it was a relative of some sort (Sam is African American but this is a picture of a white guy) until recently I met her extended family at a birthday party for her cousin. On the way back I asked who the picture in her bedroom is of, since it's not anyone I met at the party. She started laughing at me and explained that the picture is of some apparently famous philosopher guy named Slavoj Zijek (I don't know if that's spelled right) and she doesn't know him. WTF. We started arguing about it, I said it was weird to keep pictures of random people in your bedroom and she said it was somehow 'pomo', I don't know what that means, her major is philosophy and mine is computer science.
TL;DR: girlfriend keeps picture of a philosopher on her bedroom wall. I'm weirded out and kind of jealous that this guy is apparently so important to her that she has a random picture of him above her bed. Am I overreacting though?
LET'S DOXX TRANNIES lololol
