  • dude is masculine in every definition i’ve found (looked it up) except for a city slicker new to a ranch…
    i’ve always known it to be gender neutral… but i have a female friend that gets offended every time someone calls her that.
    but the fact that it keeps happening means that it’s gender neutral to all of those people too (she’s a fairly feminine female).
    that said, it’s best to just call people terms that they are comfortable with, not ones that you’re comfortable calling them.
    personally, i find calling a single person they/them a little obtuse, but it’s not really that hard. (slightly confusing when there’s a question of whether im referring to them or a group of people).





  • rittenhouse should’ve been federal… but he (supposedly) crossed state lines to enforce the law and ended up murdering someone….
    i think he hoped to murder someone but still, it’s different and pretty clearly a federal case.
    ….
    they definitely selectively enforce it, like when some anarchists drove from portland to Seattle in order to spray paint a courthouse during a protest: that became federal charges because they anarchists, mostly….
    i was honestly surprised when states were charging luigi instead of the feds at first
