@YKantRachelRead @scattapilla oh, I do use gender-neutral "girl" already :3
but that also has different connotations for me compared to guy!

@YKantRachelRead @scattapilla "you folks" would almost cut it for the addressing-a-group case but, somehow that feels even more awkward for me to say than y'all, which already feels awkward enough and like I'm stealing valor x.x

@YKantRachelRead @scattapilla yee, I think OP's complaint is about the lexical gap of there not really being a connotational equivalent of "guy" for girls and girlthings and other non-masc entities

@YKantRachelRead @scattapilla like to me, "you guys" is gender neutral, but "a guy", "type of guy", etc. is masc basically

@YKantRachelRead @scattapilla but dont get me wrong, I do /not/ want to be called a guy (although "you guys" is fine by me, but I nonetheless try to instead default to "y'all" but I feel fake and awkward with that despite having used it for years at this point)

@YKantRachelRead @scattapilla "person" sounds so stiff and dull to me, and "folks" can't really be used in the singular form :/

@YKantRachelRead @scattapilla I honestly can't think of a single one actually, can you rattle some off? :o

remaking "slim shady" but the lyrics are as if im "boss baby" instead

The loss of Dolly Parton has been felt far and wide across the Fediverse and beyond. With charity in mind, let's check out some of her fantastic filmography!

A donation will be made to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to match the highest view count these movie streams get for the month. So let's break some viewership records! 💵

You can keep up with when these movies go live by following #SusansCinemaStash or following @GrillChill and setting up notifications.

I hope to see you there so we can raise some serious funds for childhood literacy!
