Well, I am very,very black and I can name them. I can also name all of the Primarchs, Legion Number,and Worlds of Rediscovery from Warhammer 40K. A nerd is a nerd.

Kelly, I wish I knew you were writing this! You totally need to listen to Hannah Grieg!

Is it okay if I- white, straight, male- play this game, too? Because I like it!

Cosmo was in a perfect position to do this. Everyone, including Ivanka, thinks they’re a dumb ladymag full of nothing but penis touching tips and other questionable advice, but their political reporting is actually pretty damn good.

She responded to one of my tweets once, I felt so affirmed for, like, DAYS.

I love this SO MUCH. If you haven’t heard it already, check out this week’s episode of Another Round, where Tracey interviews Ava DuVernay and it is MAGICAL.

My one - albeit extremely naive - hope is that the kind of people who love this book and are excited for the movie are not the same kinds of people who will be assholes about this.

We got married in Ireland 2 years ago when this series was airing over there. Due to paperwork we had to take 2 trips in quick succession and I was VERY cranky that we didn’t get to see the end of the series. But while we were there was the height of Norman’s Bake Off fame and I very much enjoyed seeing him on the…

This is the book that started my career as a nerd so to see a girl that looks like me in the lead role beyond awesome.

I, for one, am tremendously enthused by the fact that the director of a $100 million film is thinking about making her movie relatable to trans kids, among all the other lovely little shout-outs above.

It was the grief. Grief messes up the brain bits.

Okay,slightly OT. So I originally binge watched this show when I was sick and had no one to talk to about it when I saw this happen. I was shocked out of my illness when I saw him do that (okay not really). But I still can’t believe that episode happened.

Gutted.

MrStu and I have been binging it before bed and I legit cried when I saw the news this morning (full disclosure: I’m pregnant, so there’s that). Mel and Sue are such a huge part of what makes the show wonderful.

I don’t know how to embed things but this one cracked me up.

I’m legitimately upset over this. I’ve been binging on the bake off the last couple of weeks and there’s no way the can possibly replace Mel and Sue, they are half of what make that show so great. This blows y’all

He is now a Doctor, here in UK we see him pop up on the news being fabulous and left wing when talking about NHS.
