Possums, also referred to as opossums sometimes in the Northern Hemisphere, are cool af. They are marsupials, and serve as nature's gentle pest control. Possums help keep the tick population under control, for example, and are generally non-violent and non-aggressive. Most possums are generally immune to diseases such as rabies. So if you ever get people complaining about possums in your neighborhood, don't call animal control--call people control instead and we'll come send the complainer to possum re-education school. Also, I'm low-key super out of it right now. Been dissociating hard today.

    It would be nice to see some nonbinary characters in media that arent either just androgynous or in some way "objectively" sexless like robots or aliens or something, but thats probably far off.

    Right now I'd settle for cis people just fucking respecting pronouns at all when it comes to fictional characters, its dumb but it does really mess with me when a community Im part of collectively misgender a character with the excuses of "Its a fictional character why does it matter?" or that the character is a villain so its ok to be bigoted towards them(or its argued that you cant be bigoted towards fictional characters).

      Yep. Lots of people don’t get it. Non-binary doesn’t have a “look.” You can’t tell when someone’s nby, that’s why for example on this website, all of us share our pronouns, to not exclude nbys, otherwise everyone just assumes we are a gender based on our looks or behavior. Plus, andro is a spectrum within the binary, while valid, does not encompass thr full spectrum of NBY. For example, non-aligned nbys, and xenogender are outside the binary.
