Is-"dude"-gendered discourse always throws me because in my neck of the woods that's a level-of-familiarity problem long before gender enters into it. I don't care to be called "dude" by strangers because we don't have that kind of relationship, and I wouldn't call a stranger "dude" myself unless I was being rude to them on purpose. You've gotta work your way up to "dude".

The more I think about it the stranger it seems that both partners changing their last names to an entirely new name for both of them when they get married hasn’t become A Thing instead of one partner changing their name or both keeping their names. You know, Lisa Thompson and Erik Carlson become Lisa and Erik Owlhead.
Women changing their names has patriarchal roots so I support women who don’t want to change their last name to their husband’s name (and I support men who take their wives’ name) but I also see why it makes life easier if partners have a shared last name so why not get around the bullshit of who has to take who’s name and just get a completely new one? That’s for sure the only way I’d agree to change my name if I got married, so how about it?

[Image descriptions:
First image shows a good dozen electrical cables routed on the surface of a plastered but unpainted wall, terminating at an electrical distribution board.
The white cables are not concealed in any trunking, but are instead laid tightly and neatly in parallel lines, flat against the wall surface and secured with dark gray clips. The clips are positioned at different points along each cable, so that they form geometric patterns reminiscent of those seen in traditional woven arts such as rug-making, tapestry, beadwork and basketry.
The other images show various other examples of this, with varying degrees of intricacy (and almost all evoking geometric weave patterns).
End ID.]
This has been making the rounds and it's wonderful to see the attribution finally. Thailand mentioned! 😍 And another demonstration that culture isn't something frozen and displaced wholesale from ancient history to be viewed with distance and detachment.
It's a living and evolving energy that flows through everyday lives. This is a beautiful example of how one aspect of cultural history is literally being woven into the trappings of modern technology around us.

ever since I read The School Of Life, I’m growing more and more capable of facing how appalling such issues are.
in schools, we could be teaching kids how does one honor their identity. i.e. properly recognising that you’re aromantic/asexual, and honoring this,
instead of pushing yourself into situations you don’t want to be in and wondering what’s wrong with you as you don’t enjoy what ‘majority’ does.
that would save people from a lot of misery and alienation. that is instruction on how to live a life that’s good for you.
what is the point of working as an engineer throughout the day and going home to feel broken at night?
i firmly believe that A LOT of people are actually under the aromantic and/or asexual spectrum and they just don't know it yet
