I’m coming to you if there’s an EMP attack.

It’s s all Star Trek-y.

Ironically, more than one Trek episode would only be five minutes long if they had all encompassing surveillance on Starfleet ships.

Men and women. Males and females. Girls and boys. People are obsessed with gender to the point they forget we’re all just human.

Last night I was watching these two chuds watch one of my favourite movies (Children of Men) and one of them, responding to Julianne Moore’s character’s behaviour said “Ah, I HATE women like that!” and it genuinely caused my brain to skip a beat. There was nothing about the character’s actions that was specific to female behaviour. I don’t understand why he couldn’t have said “I hate PEOPLE like that.”

I am an aspiring writer. I did a beta reader swap with one of my colleagues who just like me would like to be a sci-fi author. He was desperate to know how I was “so good” at writing women. Dude, lol, it’s not hard. Literally all you have to do to avoid all the men-writing-women pitfalls is remember that women are human beings first and women second, with all the same desires, hopes and fears as men.

Recently saw the place I left a year ago put up a posting. It was word-for-word the same as the job I applied for 4 years previously but it had an extra sentence: MUST HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR.

This is code for: MUST BE OKAY WITH THE OWNER’S RAMPANT HOMO AND TRANS PHOBIA.

I refuse to make fun of dietary restrictions after spending five years as a waiter rolling my eyes at gluten free people and then developing a gluten intolerance.

The universe is a tricky bitch. It gave me a literal pain in the ass.

Buffalo wings

…and the buffalos came " this close to extinction so that was almost one less dish.
