Please. Respect the late Will Eisner.

My son loved scented sparkly pens with lots of color and glitter until very recently (he's 16 years old now). Totally hetero guy but say it to his peers. I am proud of him for telling them off with "I'm not gay but what if I were, it's no big deal being gay" He is strong (stronger than me!) and never bowed to…

I have a three year old daughter. And a teenager son. I hate pink but she has caught the bug early enough. What we promote is diversity. Dolls with different skin colors and hair color, even blue skinned or green haired. Colorful blocks. Clay. Toy cars (she loves her hot wheels as much as she loves her polly pockets).…

I rely on my teenage son to find new music but actually he listens to many things that his almost 40 mom listens too, and things that were in vogue when I was a teen, like grunge. I can't shake this feeling that we think Millennial music sucks because new and innovative stuff got local with the web and those bands…

I was born in Rio de Janeiro that usually makes kids learn about national folklore in school instead of local and has the run of the mill ghosts in empty theaters, mummies moving at night in museums and kings roaming old palaces. There's plenty of ghost stories about farms where you can see or hear the laments of…

Thank YOU! I just can't look at that and not think "Lament Configuration". D-d-does that mean that at some level if you lose yourself into the Tardis's maze-like corridors you'll solve the cube and end up in Hell with the Cenobites? Scaaaaaaary...

After Corpore Metal's favorite (a cure for the aging process), I think the other obvious two would be affordable clean energy and intelligent affordable food that could be grown without sacrificing large spaces to agriculture and cattle-raising.

Not sure if you are trolling me or just really bad at text comprehension. So many straw men in such a little text...

There's no lack of habitable surface at Earth and I'm not talking about deserts or the ocean. We tend to concentrate at big cities in coastal areas and develop in crowded clusters. Look at the nice map…

That's cute. And spoken from the point of view of a white rich male so privileged it gives me a case of whatefuckitis. The first thing I thought was "of course he's not a woman because the burden of this utopia would fall squarely in our arms." Spinning, weaving, washing clothes and other time consuming stuff that…

On the other hand, do I believe that advances in gerontology will ease space exploration? Totally! The problem here is that our fragile bodies are very ill suited for surviving long periods of time in space and that is true no matter how young or fit the human. So living to be 200 years old inside Earth and on…

Still not based on reality, sweetie. Although we live in our majority in clusters of megacities Earth is far less crowded with people than we tend to assume. And, as I said, if you project the fast decline in birth rate we are seeing all around the world for two centuries you'll understand that younger people having…

Sorry, Mike, but there's no overpopulation risk in the immediate future of humankind. Having kids is expensive in many urban areas and if poor women have choice on the subject they desire the average one or two kids that wealthier women want and many young middle class ladies are opting out of having children. This is…

I think we are on the right track with stem cells therapy. Everyday we discover things that contain them, including teeth. The ability of regrowing teeth can solve a lot of health problems. The same tech can be advanced to treat osteoporosis: fall when you're older and you're screwed. Some of it is hormones: menopause…

Does it make me a big nerd that I immediately thought of Daredevil? Matthew Murdock had a sensory deprivation tank to help him rest since although blind all his other senses were so accurate that the feedback stressed him.

As someone whose native language is Latin-based, the joke never made much sense for me. I think about the planet as Urano. If I have to think about the original name, it's Ouranos. I have to reaaally strain and make an effort to snicker at Uranus ;)

"She looked wistfully at the little ornated box that secured the lovely little pouch that her beloved used to contain the juices of his passion and a shiver of desire and longing crossed her back. When would William come home again?"

Sure, but I very much doubt that the specialty shops were catering for dames of the night. I can totally see a young lady learning about being noble with a sassy friend telling her while visiting the hat shop "And there is monsieur Guillaume's shop whose artifacts allow you to prevent unwanted babies and I hear his…

Today in "awkward stuff I googled at work", the very first hits on "history of condoms" prove that Romance authors that use anachronism as an excuse don't know a thing about the period they are trying to portrait and perpetuating self-censorship more than being faithful to any historical period. Not only condoms did…

Now I'm thinking about a choir of chihuahuas singing weird melodies, thanks

As the mother of a boy with ADHD that has fought for him his entire life I want to give you a hug and thank you for being a good example to show him that he can't give up. Some days are really hard <3
