See I kinda wish we had this distinction, but English is a dumb language.

oh good to know! I will edit my comment, thank you for letting me know, I like learning new things :)

Fruit - botanical term

vegetable - culinary term exclusively

Though, fruit also has an alternative culinary meaning.

Interesting lil fact: The question of whether the tomato is a fruit or a vegetable found its way into the United States Supreme Court in 1893. The court ruled unanimously in Nix v. Hedden that a tomato is correctly identified as, and thus taxed as, a vegetable, for the purposes of the Tariff of 1883 on imported produce. However, the court acknowledged that, botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit.[9]

I guess that does kind of align with my understanding, just in slightly more simplified terms!

Trans people are also included in the bisexual manifesto, written in 1990

In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.

The way I always understood it was bisexual = attraction to your gender and other genders

and pansexual = attraction regardless of gender

now, functionally speaking, there is no distinction, but in terms of experience, I always identified more with pansexual than bisexual, as someone’s gender was just never something I took into account when determining my attraction.

I often to use both, as I consider pansexual to be a sub-distinction of bisexual.

That being said I recognize there is no consensus on the distinction in the community so I usually go with bi for ease.

well thank you ;)

How is Nick the short form of Nichard???

I’ve gotta add my own recommendation here: Nick Shoulders (yes, that is his birth name)

oh DUDE I’ve been off tumblr so long I forgot about this, hot DAMN

It is the only dumping on me that I will allow

did I say you? I just thought we were commiserating

(just bein cheeky)

I will clarify what I meant by my emoji - I want to peg so bad 👀

me (autistic) when my friend (autistic) infodumps at me for an hour about their special interest

this is the answer

👀

They don’t call me “grandma” for nothin’

oh! That is such a great point! To be fair, a lot of the male history nerds I know use it for practical purposes like writing TTRPGs, which were predominantly played by guys for a long time, but I feel like even that is evening out gender-wise lately as they grow in popularity.

That being said, I have definitely seen examples of the fantasizing and ego-stroking on the internet.

in fact, now that you mention it, I do know a fair few of women with a very deep interest in philosophy, and you can’t exactly get deep into philosophy without historical context, ergo, female history nerds. Women are also a lot more interested in history when they are represented, and I don’t think I need to soapbox to you about the lack of feminine representation in history texts.

I do wonder sometimes why most of the history nerds I know are men. Not that I know no female history nerds at all, but men appear to be more drawn to history, or more encouraged to be casually interested?

I’m not sure, this could be all exclusively anecdotal and the actual numbers may not reflect my experience.

only special K i consume is going directly up my nose

folk/country/americana run hand in hand, arguing about genre is futile
