Listen, I’m having fun playing with the ultra patriotic voice, but after a couple years in blue-collar landscaping jobs, you really do need to phrase things like that.

“I’m pretty sure that fella ain’t here legally.”

“Well, that ain’t your business Chip, it’s his.”

They hate being preached to. If you pull out words like ‘gender wage gap’ they’ll tell you you’re brainwashed by the far left media.

“He’s one of them transgenders.”

“He got freedoms too, Jimmy.”

You say, “bodily autonomy” and it’s all, “oooh look who’s got a college vocabulary.”

Instead say, “The government shouldn’t be able to tell you what to do with your body. You want some bureaucrat getting between you and your doctor? Making it take twice as long to get treatment? If someone wants breast implants, hormones, or to not get pregnant, that’s between them and their doctor. You know they got surgeries where they can break your leg bones and stretch them to make you taller? I watched a thing about a woman who did that; it was her dream to be a fight attendant, but she was too short (you gotta be able to reach the overhead compartments), so she got the surgery to be tall enough. Living her dream. I think people should be able to do what they want with their bodies. If you don’t want to change genders or get taller or take hormones, that’s your choice, but that’s no reason to tell other people what they can’t do. Mind your business.”

“All I want the government to do is make sure companies can’t rip us off by selling us do-nothing pills, poison us, or overcharge for stuff we need to live. Greedy corporate bastards. Police the greedy CEOs and insurance companies who are scamming us, who would shoot your granny if it increased profits, and leave the end users alone.”

“People worry too much about other people’s genitals. Bunch of weirdos, wanting to check kids genitals before they can use the bathroom or play a sport. Sick freaks if you ask me. Leave the kids alone. When I was a kid, I was the only girl on my t-ball team, and I was just fine. Let kids play sports, doesn’t matter what gender they are, what matters is what skill level they are in the sport.”

“I think the government should stay out of the bedroom. You want to have sex with a man? Two men? Three? You want to get paid for sex? None of my business, none of the government’s business, none of my neighbor’s business. As long as no one’s getting hurt, let people do what they want. We got a huge child marriage problem in this country; you want to fight perverts? Tell the government to fight that. That’s much a bigger problem than gay marriage or trans people or kinksters or sex workers. If two adults want to dress as cats and do sex games with each other, let them! But I draw the line at marrying kids; that’s fucked up, you agree?”

YES THANK YOU LIKE YOUVE GOTTA SPEAK SOMEONES LANGUAGE TO ENGAGE WITH THEM

It’s true. I started calling “the cloud” offsite storage, and the comprehension that dawns in my customers’ eyes is super gratifying. They understand external hard drives, but many couldn’t wrap their heads around this mystical floating in the air storage–because that’s not how it works at all. You’re just using space on someone else’s hard drive.

[Image is a t-shirt which reads:

There is no cloud
It’s just someone else’s computer
]

I explain this to eeeevery patron who comes in to ask for tech help etc. I find ways to explain it, because it’s important.

“Oh ‘the cloud’ is just what they decided to call it. What it actually means is that you use the internet to connect to some dedicated computer somewhere where your file is stored, and then you can access that file, which is why it only works with an internet connection. You’re just renting space on a computer the company owns.”

Suddenly everything is less mysterious.

“According to Indian Country Today, in 2017, Destany “Sky” Pete, a member of the Shoshone and Paiute Tribes from the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Idaho and Nevada, discovered that her tribe’s current health issues were linked to a lack of traditional foods, including the forgotten recipe for toishabui, or chokecherry pudding. She enlisted the help of Dr. Ken Cornell of Boise State University, who specializes in cancer research. Dr. Cornell tested four types of chokecherry specimens on uterine sarcoma cancer cells. Remarkably, only one sample – the traditional chokecherry pudding – successfully inhibited cancer cell growth. Within just 24 hours, the cancer cells began to die. Sky noted that the success of the pudding was due to the inclusion of the crushed chokecherry pits, which were a critical component of the recipe.” **Edited to add that she graduated from the University of Idaho today!**

Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s

And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights

Thank God someone paved the way for them…

if you think jk was the first woman author, you don’t actually care about women authors.

Mary Shelley didnt fuck on her parents graves for this level of disrespect

Murasaki Shikibu didn’t invent the novel for this.

Christine de Pizan did not sit down at her desk and write The Book of the City of Ladies, advocating for women’s education and finding value in women of all social classes and backgrounds, in 1405 for this.

🎶SHAHARIZADE HAD A THOUSAND TALES🎶

This……….isn’t even true in 20th century fantasy or childrens books? Pierce, Lackey, Applegate, McCaffrey, Bradley, Butler, whomst?

Casual reminder that

  • a woman was the first known author/poet in 2300BC - Enheduanna
  • the first novel in recorded history was written by a woman in 1010AD - Murasaki Shikibu
  • the earliest example of science fiction was written by a woman in 1666 - Margaret Cavendish
  • horror science fiction was popularised by a teenage girl in 1818 - Mary Shelley
  • a Scotswoman expanded childrens’ stories from moralising tales into anarchic adventures in the mid 1800s, well before it became popular in the early 20th century - Catherine Sinclair
  • the masked/costumed hero archetype that inspired Batman and Zorro was created by a woman in 1905 - Baroness Emma Orczy
  • And while she is problematic as all get out, we all know who is to blame for popularising Boarding School fiction (which is a huge inspiration of She Who Must Not Be Named) from the 1930s onwards - Enid Blyton

And do I even need to mention what a badass pioneer Ursula Le Guin was for women author in the fantasy/sci-fi genre?

Not to mention Agatha Christie is literally second only to Shakespeare in terms of works sold – 4 billion compared to JKR’s paltry 500 million 

Mary Shelly did what

Mary.Shelly.Lost.Her.Virginity.On.Her.Parent’s.Grave.

Mary Shelley lost her virginity on her mother’s grave. Her father was still very much alive.

She did what now?

We have female authors who published before Rowling here on Tumblr. @dduane, for example! I read her Star Trek novels from the 80s and 90s as a kid/teen.

Octavia E. Butler wrote probably the most accurate dystopian novel in the form of Parable of the Sower.

The Lottery is a short story by Shirley Jackson that was first published in The New Yorker on June 26, 1948.

Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote “Little House on the Prairie” in 1932

Harper Lee wrote “To Kill a Mockingbird” in 1960

@space-australians Feels like this would kinda fit your blog, specially for writers who want to make up weird human space shenanigans involving a ship and alien crew and what not.  Maybe someone can write about how a person fixed a specific part in the dumbest way possible using the right words XD

Guys, NASA is cool.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, they have a whole list of articles and pages to help sci-fi writers. NASA is the best!

i started playing Disco Elysium and last night (the same day i started playing) i woke up to my stomach hurting so bad that in my delirium i thought it had to do with something from the game.

and looked it up…

i thought this was completely normal until waking up later after the pain was gone.

you’re playing the game better than anyone else has ever played it

Grandpa: What is that now?
me: Explains everything
Grandpa: It is free? It will not steal my data? It will not install stupid games without my permission? I can access Facebook and do shopping and buy or sell stocks? Are you sure it is free and connect to my WiFI?
me: Yup.
Grandpa: Linux Mint it is, then!

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

In the “my illness won’t condemn me to an early, ignominious death” kind of way.

in a “everyone who wants to have children will be able to afford that” type of way

I’m pretty sure that lab-grown precious gems could and should be used for some sort of witchcraft fuckery purposes. This is one of those “I have no way to even begin to rationalise this, but I feel like it should be logical” sort of things. Like there’s some inherent elemental safety buffers in natural gems and crystals that manufactured ones wouldn’t have, so you could do some absolutely nuclear wizard shit with them. Like how being born through c-section or having a trans man father would technically exclude you from “no man of woman born” in a prophesy.
