My Haj (Heiji) is a trans man and Snuttig is his loving husband. Heiji is wearing a binder for the occasion, even though he doesn't need one as a shark, as a symbol and in solidarity with trans men who do. Yes it is much too large for him. At least the color is fun! Snuttig is wearinf a flower crown but you can't really see it in this pose. He has a rainbow bracelet he basically never takes off.
I’ve been calling this zine format an Easily Drawn Comic. You can make some too! Have a good day.
I am going through "Toki Pona The Language of Good" now as well as doing some other things to study and I just finished lesson 7 "Questions and Answers". One of the two ways of making yes and no questions is described as " repeat the word being used as a verb, adding ala in between". The first example they give is "ona li mama ala mama?" This is slightly confusing because it implies that in the sentence ona li mama (they are a parent) mama is a verb in that context. I guess it could mean being a parent or parenting though the translation of the example was just "is she a parent?" When we make basic sentences where we do [noun] li [noun] are we treating the second noun innately as the verb indicating being that thing?
Further one of the translation drills was "Is the spoon small?" The answers were:
"ilo moku li lili anu seme?" and "ilo moku li lili ala lili?" I know we have already learned that adjectives can be used as verbs with the example given of suli meaning to grow or make big/tall as a verb and with the example of eating makes me tall being moku li suli e mi. That said we aren't talking about the spoon shrinking something here. Are we basically allowed to use [noun] ala [noun] and [adjective] ala [adjective] too but only when there isn't a verb present, or what is going on here?
After noticing that someone marked the xenogenders subreddit as red on shinigami eyes and some people on it I tried looking if there's ways to figure out when and where things where marked or if there was any info on what happened, and what I found seemed to suggest that maybe shinigami eyes is out dated and much less used these days. I'm not really sure if that's correct. I was mostly finding older information. I also found stuff wondering if people were using it to target people with certain identities without as much of a confirmation process as there may have once been and such. Does anyone here use it now and do you think it's largely still a helpful tool or do you think it's out dated and suggest against it at this point?
Also as a note I did mark the xenogenders sub as trans friendly on my end so now it shows green locally but that also means I won't know if it is still red for others or ends up changing to green. It would really help if there was some way to look how things are marked globally and how many people reported them one way or another.
