Problematic Mineshaft Gap

I'm not a proshipper but I am an enthusiastic amateur he/they I don't put my age in my bio because I'm old enough to remember when we were taught not to share that info online.

Sam Vimes, on his last day before retirement: Angua's the only one here with any bloody sense, so from now on she's in charge Everyone else in the Watch House: Right you are sir, sounds good Angua von Uberwald, who had not been told about this ahead of time: WAIT A MINUTE HANG ON

I am done with people he/him'ing Kris Dreemurr. It has been 5 chapters now. As far as I am concerned anyone who refers to them with he/him pronouns is doing it deliberately and maliciously because they are a bigot, and if they deny that then they are lying about it.

If I were transported to another world nearly-but-not-quite like our own, I think I would "invent" Batman. I'd tell them it was all my own original idea. Best part is I'd get to make the Joker like a C-tier villain. I mean he'd still be in it, but we're talking on the level with Mad Hatter.

my Trek hot take is that Berman was a piece of shit and deserves the hate, but also that a lot of the shitty things about him were broadly in line with mainstream US culture at the time and making one upopular man the locus of all misogyny lets everyone else off the hook, often including the speaker

I have a lot of problems with the current UK government and with any Labour government that would realistically replace them but I do have to say I think they're onto something with the rolling smoking ban. Hope that particular baby doesn't get thrown out with the bathwater in a few years.

Reading Pale Fire by Nabokov. Not thrilled by all the pubescent boys! Like Lolita was one thing, that's ABOUT a paedophile, but this one is ostensibly about poets and academics! Really not sure we had to go back to that particular well twice.
