In Indonesian, “dia” is the only pronoun and refers to everyone. There’s no way to differentiate he and she. Everyone is dia. Does that mean there’s only one sex in Indonesia? Or does it mean pronouns are linguistic tools people made up?

Making this “Balls Voyage” #vasectomy care package for my brother was so much fun! My SIL encouraged me to do this because she ran out of time to (they have 3 kids… hence the vasectomy).😂The teacher in me enjoyed this little art project very much.🎨🎁🧺✂️

Gay people aren't shooting up straight night clubs. Black people aren't shooting up white grocery stores. Latinos are not shooting up Walmarts. Jewish people are not shooting up Christian churches. The violence is coming from one demographic: Alt-right radicalized men.
