hate that “snowflake” is a word conservatives use cuz itd be such a cute nickname if it didnt have that connotation

@ellie@yearning.gay my grandma calls me that in spanish. I am the least white of my cousins on her side lmao

@AppleAmps@seafoam.space @ellie@yearning.gay yea but it's copito de nieve because diminutives are cool and ahe's my grandma

@ellie in vrchat we use snowflakes to congratulate a good set (DJing). this has on occasion led to some people who are also in industry getting confused looks for saying stuff like "certified snowflake tune"

@ellie ❄ we can reclaim it
