I use it because of specific support communities where there isn’t a good alternative or where I’ve built connections.
Getting mad at someone for, by your own admission, trying to be nice sounds self defeating to me, but I hear what you are saying about it feeling patronizing.
To me it sounds like what you’re really upset about is being clocked. Being clocked is shitty. Clocking someone is awkward.
If you start the pronoun discussion yourself, does that help? Theoretically cis people should be doing that automatically, so if you don’t get clocked then great you’re normalizing pronouns. If you did get clocked then it changes nothing and it saves you feeling like someone is white knighting on your behalf?
Pole dancing! I’ve taught professionally for like 15 years.

What’s really cool is that prion disease incubation period can be years 🙃

Sincerely and from the bottom of my immunosuppressed heart: thank you.
Seriously thank you, thank you, thank you.
Death is not the only negative outcome from Covid infection. When you consider the literature on Covid causing grey matter loss, prion disease, chronic vasculitis, cardiac disease, autoimmune disease, etc, you could argue death is actually one of the preferred outcomes.
Immunity isn’t an on/off switch and the virus is mutating to escape immune detection. It seems like you do not have a solid grasp on the kinetics of vaccine and viral immunity, is there a question I can answer for you or would you like some resources that might help improve your comprehension?

Yeah I always stock up when I’m abroad. US sunscreen sucks.
However: Avobenzone and zinc both block UVA and are in Us sunscreen. Trader Joe’s has decent and cheap sunscreen with avobenzone.
I think Dolores also belongs on the list :P

most instances have a long list or rules and doesn't seem to tolerate basic slurs
“Basic slurs” lmao you poor thing I’m so sorry you can’t express yourself fully. It must be very painful to have your free speech limited so much.
