My dad told me that he has a coworker who’s a trans woman. She was married to this girl before her transition and they remained together after it. Everyone at work respects her pronouns. My dad is in a chiefing position at his office and he told me that nobody jokes behind her back. She and her wife have two cute dogs together and I felt like I should share this story bc I want everyone to know that this positivity and respect exists and you deserve it. Don’t ever dare think that you don’t because you do.

Ok ok ok, last humans are the weird ones, I promise! (I am also a god damn liar.)
So this ailien crew is finally retiring their beloved human/orc friend who has thrown them through the ringer so many times they’ve learned all the weirdness that comes compacted in that apex predator from earth.
It’s really sad when they have to let their human go because ofcourse besides being a space-orc their human was also space-glue and made them all love it and want to be friends forever. But their human has a family it wants to get back to and tell all these wonderful adventures they all had together. So its good bye.
But soon after the human leaves the ship and goes to their family on this fringe-y colony planet that all the races in the galaxy agree can’t be settled but humans are sending their fifth colonizing attempt anyways because fuck it, it’s what we do, the colony succumbs to a terrible natural disaster. The ailien crew rushes ba ck to save their friend (and reallynanybody) but alas, all they find is their former crew mates body clutching a small screaming bundle.
A human baby.
Well its only right to take it with them right? Yeah! To honor their friend! To have a new friend! Besides they are EXPERTS in dealing with a full grown human. A baby human has to be a breeze in comparison right? Right!
So they adopt it.
First they name it Clamchowder in honor of the human tradition of naming children in hopes of they having qualities linked to the name. It was very, very carefully selected name.
Then they discover in very rapid and horrible sucsession: Human babies don’t speak Human babies don’t walk or move much on their own Human babies do not regulate their excrement at apropriate intervals Human babies need to be interacted with and physically touched or they waste away (that was a close call untill Clamchowder latched onto Moongah the extremely fuzzy first mate) Human babies need special diet, which does not include bottles filled with engine grease. Another close call. Human babies will put EVERYTHING IN YHER MOUTH OH NO SPIT OUT THE CONTROL BUTTON PLEASE!!! And it never ever ever stops screaming, ever!
Ultimately the crew decides that this is a whole new set of problems, and even gthougb they really wanted Clamchowder to be like their dead parent they eventually realize that this is a complete different adventure.
So they become baby experts too.
A strange thing about Humans, hot anger vs. cold anger.
We all know what hot anger is. It's yelling, screaming, fighting, crying, explosive anger. The kind of anger you typically expect and encounter. It can be quite brutal and devastating. But in my experience, cold anger is much worse.
Cold anger is calm, quiet, and unforgiving. It carries the force of a glacier carving a path through the mountains. The void you are left with after a person becomes cold angry is more emotionally impactful than 10 times their hot anger towards you.
As humans this is something I think most of us have encountered, both feeling the temperature change in our selves or from others. But imagine what our alien counterparts might think when one of their friends/co-workers goes from being hot to cold.
