I was a kid when Reagan fired all the striking air traffic controllers. It turns out it takes a long time to train them, so we haven’t recovered from that one incident. It also means all ATCs are overworked, still underpaid and using outdated hardware and methods.
Air travel was screwed even before Trump defunded the FAA.

Fair, but it has gotten very noticably worse based on Trump’s deregulation catching up on the aircrafts and the latest round of forcing out air traffic control
Also, I didn’t know you could just say “all pronouns”. I like that a lot, I’m really uncomfortable putting myself in boxes and that describes my preferences very succinctly

TBH I was in theater as a kid and TTRPGs as a teen and young adult, so it was super easy to get comfortable whatever pronouns suited my character. And yeah, embraced my enby status as I got past my forties.

I can’t argue with that. I think we’re on the same page
On pronouns… Honestly I just don’t want to be called it. Anything else, call me what feels natural. I feel shackled, I just want to be who I am at any given time without pretending or forcing myself to meet gender expectations
I feel like I should’ve been a theatre kid, but they were mean to me so I did sports, my teammates always had my back
