  • There are many reasons why people may not disclose their pronouns and I wouldn’t presume that means taking a stance against trans or anyone.

    If today I saw emojis listed as someone’s pronouns, my first thought would be that they’re trolling or taking it as a joke though.

    Just be yourself, show your support in any way that makes you feel comfortable and if anyone asks why you don’t disclose yours you can just say pretty much what you’ve just said. I think it’s understandable enough.




  • I doubt you need that. What matters is that you can understand your own writing. Most other things you need to submit will require typing, not handwriting.

    But if you want to improve your handwriting, more power to you! Just practice a little every day. Be slow and deliberate with your strokes. See if you can find old calligraphy workbook templates for technical drafting online. Do half an hour of practice a day, practice letters individually, then practice writing stuff. Once you feel more confident try to speed up and see how fast can you writa the same paragraph. Put some 30 hours of practice total and you’ll be good to go I believe













  • Depends on how you define cleaning or wiping. Few animals can actually wipe stuff, but some exhibit cleaning of one sort or another. I’m going to remove self-cleaning and grooming out of the list. You mean cleaning objects or their environment.

    The already mentioned raccoon is one example but with food only. If you accept that, then Ibises have also been seen washing toxic frogs before eating them to remove the skin toxins.

    I’m half hearted about the bird of paradise example, since that’s a mating visual display only… But hey, many birds actually clean the interior of their nests. They pick up their chicks droppings and toss them out. It’s not wiping or brushing but it surely is cleaning for the sake of hygiene.

    Spiders remove debris from their webs, does that count?

    I’ve never seen cats or dogs brush or wipe stuff away either. Cats may toss or brush away things out of boredom, curiosity or simply to reach whatever is underneath provided it’s a few particles and not really digging.

    For cleaning like humans do, my money would be on the monkeys though, personally, I haven’t seen or heard much about that happening spontaneously in wild or feral monkeys.
