  • I enjoy a good arcade racer for short bursts of time because they’re silly and fast and fun. Never could get into the more realistic drivers like Forza since I’m not really into cars. Love the Sonic racing series, actually, they’re like Mario Kart except their slow setting is Mario Kart’s fast setting. Gotta go fast! I’m pretty mediocre at them, though.



  • I do use “kin” sometimes, but I don’t think I would in a parental context. Interesting, though. Maybe it’s just me that thinks of “kin” as being a gender non-conforming form of “brethren”. Usually I use the word in a collective sense, too, as in, “All my homies love and support their trans kin.”


  • Sometimes my kids call me by my first name trying to get a reaction out of me, but I don’t care. That should work. I don’t think “mom” and “dad” are even pronouns, are they? Proper nouns in the direct context (“Hey Dad, how was your day?”) and regular nouns in the common context (“My mom said to tell you hi.”), so I’m not sure this is a thing.





  • That’s basically what I mean. They can start by excommunicating, which would be a powerful statement at least to their own people. But they can also take whatever information they have to the relevant law enforcement body with jurisdiction to do something about it. Just because they’re not the cops in most places in the world doesn’t mean there aren’t cops who could investigate and prosecute if it’s warranted, and it doesn’t mean that the thing they can do is useless or meaningless.
