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").โ 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

So I'm trying to apply myself to some theory in earnest, now that I've had the funny book as a little treat, and
such a good fucking quote, holy crap she was cooking with that in 2008
Julia Serano's Cooking With Induction Cooktops!!! (2007, colourised)
lol good reference
I actually did use "NOW WERE COOKIN WITH GAS", it was like a stim phrase, so I have replaced it in many ways!
That's one of my phrases
I am so bad(or good) at subsuming the taglines of those close to me as stims.
I sometimes do movie lines or stuff like that but I don't mask or mimic. I do have a few vocal stims or tics that keep popping out even when I type. Just and thing are mine.. so trying to not say those or fit those in to sentences can be tricky I also get stuck on the odd word and that's where thing comes out the most "you know the thing" (describes the thing) because I can't pull that word out sometimes.. can be annoying lol especially as I'm usually sharp as a tack lol I love hearing peoples stims though or finding out the little uinique quirks c:
My fellow queerdos are the best.
They are, ^^
