Stereotypical smug leftist and stereotypical smug atheist, rolled into one. Queer as all get out. Fan of tea, drag, horror, culinary history, anarchist theory, casual gaming, rebel mages, and animals most people consider "gross".

The fat = poor hygiene stereotype is the one that bothers me the most. Most of us are perfectly capable of showering and wearing deodorant. We don't automatically smell worse, nor are we covered in sweat and grease. Our skin is just normal human skin.

"This character is known for their moral integrity, intelligence, good-natured sense of humor and compassion. Oh, and they're overweight." "Got it! Here's 40 pages about them being lazy, gross and stupid."

The annoying thing about diverse size representation in collaboratively written media is that sometimes, there's a really well-written and lovable fat character in a story, and then some hack gets their mitts on them and it's BAM! fat jokes everywhere, who needs consistent characterization?

being in my late thirties feels like I'm a third of the way into playing a really involved rpg and have only just got a sufficient handle on the game mechanics to realise all the ways I've been playing it wrong, only I can't restart or roll a new character and cross-classing late is punitive.

I am so incredibly inspired by Gen Z's bravery in speaking up and taking action about the COVID and climate crises. But at the same time it's heartbreaking that they feel required to go above and beyond because elders are completely failing them.

It would be fucking hilarious though to do the complete opposite of the "showing up to your highschool reunion after a major glow-up, rich and successful with a smoking hot trophy spouse" fantasy and be like "Yeah, I'm an unemployed depressed loser, y'all traumatized me so much it ruined my life".

The best thing about "Ok Boomer" is that, instead of arguing, we all decided to just wave boomers off and treat them like children who won't shut up. It's great to see everyone realise that nothing upsets boomers like dismissing them the way they dismiss anyone younger than themselves.

I wonder if there's ever been a high school reunion I could have been invited to, but wasn't because they weren't able to track me down. Oddly comforting thought, in a way.

In case anyone needs to hear this (because I did), yes, the world is burning. You are not Betraying The Cause by finding solace in stupid tv shows or video games or anything else that means nothing but makes you happy. If it gets you through and keeps you on your feet, there's the value, right there

There's gotta be a fancy word for the way visual media creates this kind of faux familiarity (fauxmiliarity?) with real places, but in this hazy, surreal way that doesn't translate into real knowledge or understanding.

It's weird, because I see it in movies and shows so much, but they all act like I should already be familiar with the city, even though I live on an entirely different continent and couldn't tell you the difference between Queens and Manhattan if you held a gun to my head.

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

Another one is the fact that I've always been able to lucid dream, but that one's not as fun as you'd imagine. I still get nightmares, because whenever I try to influence the dream, my subconscious does its best to nosell any attempts. It's like an extremely railroady GM.

An unexpected upside of my aphantasia (specifically my inability to see much of anything in my dreams) is that it makes writing a character who perceives the world entirely through non-visual cues fairly intuitive for me. That's basically what I do every night.
