the sexual tension when u and ur crush are online on fb at the same time and u just stare at their lil green dot

and suddenly you know what gatsby felt like

This is actually the most profound and appropriate literary allusion I’ve encountered so far this week.

I’m having feelings about the “best” blogs being the most easily monetized. I’ve poured my guts into my blog but because I’ve decided not to do sponsored content I’m ignored. I write about complex real shit. I don’t just post photos of things other people created. I put my life on the line. Damn straight I want an award, but I don’t want to sell my soul for it. I want to be recognised as a creator and writer and human being with lots of shit going on.

I don’t ask for recognition or respect usually because I’ve never felt like I deserve it, but I deserve it. Yeh. Lots of bloggers do but we are drowned out for speaking truth about real life out here.

OH AND - I see people copying my shit. I know I’ve inspired you, you tell me then you go off pretending I don’t exist when you get popular. That’s rude.

Definatalie deserves recognition for sure! She is a-maz-ing. An all-around inspiration to me!

Minute physics: There is no pink

Nope, none. Pink does not actually exist. I’m a fan of pink, as you may have noticed from the design of this website, but it doesn’t actually exist. It’s your brain inventing the color because it doesn’t know what else to put there. So… tada.

my whole life is a lie

!!!!!! I made a tumblr post wondering about bout this (why the rainbow can join together in a circle), long ago!! I hope this is true.

“Can we all just agree that the greatest tech advancement in Star Trek is a universal video format? Klingon ships, Romulan ships, Vulcan ships, Human ships … not once does a captain say “On screen,” followed by a plugin error message.

“Stand by, Captain — it says we need to update the Java plugin so we can run GoToMeeting.”

“Why didn’t they just use WebEx?”

“The Romulans must not have a license for it.”

“But it’s free. Isn’t it?”

“If they’d Skyped in, we could’ve just used the ship’s webcam.”

“Captain, the warbird doesn’t show up on my list of Facetime contacts.”

“I think we need to sync our address book.”

“We should’ve just used Tinychat.”

“Why don’t we start a Google Hangout?”

“Shut up, Wesley.”

“Ana Iris once asked me if I loved him and I told her about the lights in my old home in the capital, how they flickered and you never knew if they would go out or now. You put down your things and you waited and couldn’t do anything really until the lights decided. This, I told her, is how I feel.”

microprogressions:

This was going to be a microaggression. And then, unexpectedly, it wasn’t any more. 

My husband plays board games with a few friends every week at a cafe. Last week, I had dinner with him beforehand and was still there when one of the other players, let’s call him Joe, arrived. Joe is in his 50’s, a geek, and a socially awkward gamer. He’s nice and amiable and fun to game with, but every once in awhile, his internalized sexism slips out in comments and jokes, and it can be awkward. 

On this particular occasion, Joe made a quip about my husband tying me down and making me learn the rules of a game so I could play with their group. I laughed it off at the time, but it stuck with me for several days. I usually try to call Joe out on things like that, but the circumstances that day didn’t give me an opening. 

Anyway, I’d just about forgotten the comment - things like that just melt into the background static of being a woman in a sexist culture - when I got an email from Joe apologizing for it. He’d been thinking about it and had realized that it had been creepy, and he was trying to be better about crap like that. 

There is always more to learn and more deprogramming to be done, for all of us, but it’s nice to see someone take that first step, independent of any prompting. It gives me hope that we can all keep learning, and that one day, the cumulative effect of all that learning will result in a world where no one is ever made to feel unsafe due to thoughtless words.

Hearing about nice things is nice.

Lexie very generously gave me permission to color her beautiful Molly & Sherlock sketch! It’s been awhile since I’ve colored someone else’s lineart so I hope you guys like it. I went with more realistic colors and a comic-book kind of style this time. You can view Lexie’s original drawing here.

Challenge: write a fic about this scene! Whether platonic or romantic!
