In October 1776, the Public Universal Friend contracted an epidemic disease and was bedridden and near death with a high fever. Their family summoned a doctor from Attleboro, six miles away, and neighbors kept up a death-watch at night. The fever broke after several days. The Friend later reported that [deadname redacted] had died, receiving revelations from God through two archangels who proclaimed there was “Room, Room, Room, in the many Mansions of eternal glory for Thee and for everyone”. The Friend further said that [deadname redacted]'s soul had ascended to heaven and the body had been reanimated with a new spirit charged by God with preaching his word, that of the “Publick Universal Friend”, describing that name in the words of Isaiah 62:2 as “a new name which the mouth of the Lord hath named”.
From that time on, the Friend refused to answer to their deadname, ignoring or chastising those who insisted on using it. When visitors asked if it was the name of the person they were addressing, the Friend simply quoted Luke 23:3 (“thou sayest it”). Identifying as neither male nor female, the Friend asked not to be referred to with gendered pronouns. Followers respected these wishes; they referred only to “the Public Universal Friend” or short forms such as “the Friend” or “P.U.F.”, and many avoided gender-specific pronouns even in private diaries. When someone asked if the Friend was male or female, the preacher replied “I am that I am”, saying the same thing to a man who criticized the Friend’s manner of dress (adding, in the latter case, “there is nothing indecent or improper in my dress or appearance; I am not accountable to mortals”).
editorial note: I think this is a very cool story and I really love hearing it. We’ve been around forever and we’ve been doing variations of this forever. It’s really beautiful

Trying to mass download the puppygirl line emotes but every website I try just gives me the default emotes
Went to a queer meetup thing and it was so nice not having to talk to cishets for once. Main issue is I still have so much anxiety and after wards I just kept thinking of how akward I was
Has anyone else read smut that’s bad enough that it sticks with you for months? I can’t get this shit out of my head
Transphobia, misgendering
Cissies will hear me say I’m a woman, I go by she/her, and will correctly gender me once then never again. Unlimited forced transition on the cis
sometimes this site is exhausting tbh. why is it that people here love armchair moralizing about other peoples’ decisions that don’t affect them (this is about the “eating slop” thread but i see it elsewhere too) without maybe considering that disabled people exist under capitalism too. i almost want to report that thread for ableism tbh.

my wife woke up to go pee, so I asked her her favourite taxonomy fact. hers is that ants are either a type of wasp or decended from a wasp like ancestor (thee science is still out on it). and like it’s true, you look at an ant vs a wasp and they do look really damn similar, especially flying ants
health venting
ugh there’s so many things i could vent about with my health and the stressful situation it’s put me in, but one thing is that it has once again pushed hrt down the road for me. i’m too busy dealing with my chronic fatigue crash and its ensuing consequences to pursue hrt rn and i’m just thinking about it rn and i’m so, so frustrated.
