quick update

Hey just a quick heads up here - wanted to let you know that we have decided to begin using pronouns on this site.

Due to the prevalence of what is generally considered "normie" culture here, and the trend of people adopting pronouns for non-ironic usage, we decided that now is the time. Our pronouns will reflect that, and are potentially fluid to stay current with trends and shifts in culture.

We agonized over how to best incorporate this craze into our lives, and "thus" considered many and varied pronouns and non-pronouns-as-pronouns, even inanimate-objects-as-pronouns.

Just want to be honest - if we could (or should) use "backing a huge pickup truck into a parking space" as a pronoun, we would. 

For similar reasons, the following were also considered, and then cast aside as potential pronouns:

"anti-vax asshole/anti-masker shithead"

"Under Armour Hat and Sweatshirt from the clearance rack at Scheel's"

"little dick energy"

"flush'ier de turlet"

"weekday dinner at Texas Roadhouse"

"full price VIP tickets to Rock Fest"

"gun control"

As a journalist by trade, we know that our pronouns will need to honor our lived truth. So we compiled some of the most common and egregious grammar mistakes and we are speaking power to truth by literally unpacking these appropriations. Employing them in an empowering and diverse context - this is us promoting awareness, masturbatory nature of our thoughts and words without actions be damned.

Without further ado, our pronouns are: myself / sir / noun's. 

 This is fluid, so we do anticipate a change to just frog/frogs at some point in the near future.

Upcoming: we just remembered that we saw on twitter a couple years ago, that a semi-famous actor was "deadnamed" one time. So def keep your eyes peeled for our updated policy on "deadnaming". This will apply to both real life and "that which is imagined".
