#Reading: #EmilyWilde'sEncyclopediaofFaeries by #HeatherFawcett. First in a series. Entertaining read, liked the style which emulates academic writing. Set in an alternate history Scandinavia, which was fun after just reading a history of the vikings.

Our bin days changed for the first time in years, only next week it will be on the old schedule. *finger crossed* that isn't the one time when I remember that it should be Wednesday now.

It's still a sexualizing outfit over a uniform, in both cases, and it only happens to the female characters. It doesn't make a difference that it's less overt, the root is still sexism.

If you are successful, please tell me your secret, because I could definitely also benefit from being less clumsy.

Ouch. Hope you're okay.

I'd say Troi's costume during the first five seasons was also a lot. For a start, why didn't she get the normal uniform, but instead something that was basically a leotard - she was a member of Starfleet, it made no sense at all. & Kira had both a corset under her Bajoran uniform & was wearing heels

Yes, absolutely. It was the 90s. Stuff like that was... pretty normal, I'm afraid.

The youtuber he agreed to be interviewed by is a wellknown champion of right-wing drivel, which is really easy to find out, and I'm hesitant to give him a pass for that. He should have known what he was getting into here.

Although Seven also gets some of the most interesting plots on Voyager. She was never just the girl in the catsuit. Just, apparently, you couldn't have the plots without the catsuit, which was the infuriating part.

And we know how that one ends! Which is fascinating, given that London was one of the poster boys for toxic masculinity.

I mean, a very simple thing he should have done is get some info on the interviewer before agreeing to be interviewed by him. The guy is infamous for his right-wing drivel.

Just finished #T.Kingfisher's #WolfWorm, which is supergross, but also great. One line made me laugh so hard I scared the cat away.

I'd say in terms of re-inventing it, Vampire The Masquerade counts. Probably all of White Wolf, but mostly Vampire.

Vampire The Masquerade for narrative roleplaying games.

Sometimes you just catch single leaves, I get it.

Yeah, but complaining about it in the thread of someone who does not ask this of you, just seems, Idk. Like yelling at the wrong people?

Yeah okay, I admit that's never been my argument and it's also not RomGothSam's, she said this is what she is doing. Not what anyone else should or should not do. There's a difference between these two things.

I don't know that anyone asks you or anyone else to blow up their lives.

That is relatively normal. A lot of great artist from previous centuries were pretty horrible people. The difference is, they're long dead, you won't be giving however little to their cause of ruining people's lives.

Nobody is going to bankrupt her. It's meant to be symbolic. And nobody says you have to do it.

tbf, it's next to impossible not to know which author RomGothSam is specifically talking about here. There's really just one who is alive, a billionaire and virulently transphobic at the moment.

That reminds me of a picture I once saw that someone had taken in their supermarket's fruit & vegetables section. It concerned pineapples, which in German are called ananas... only the sign said "anana's". Even more bizarrely, apostrophe s for possession is a thing in English, but not in German.

Too Dune Too Delirious.

I honestly feel this explains a lot about me in day to day life that when I was like ten or eleven, I wanted to be him.

Yikes. 😬 (Maybe slightly less calm, although as someone from Northern Germany, I'm supposedly perpetually unexcited.)

A friend of mine calls followers of Habermas Habermarsianer (means Habermartians).

*fingers crossed*

Oh, great. Conservative backlash.
