Ridcully would probably get it half-right since he spends a lot of time around animals (albeit trying to shoot them). Ponder would be way too scientific about it, and the Dean would faint at the mere mention.

Thankfully, the Pratchett made a lot stronger influence on me than the other stuff; hence the Wizzard hat I post under ;)

Wait, what’s this about Elizabeth Moon?

Yep, talking about Firefly. Got my hands on it when I was like 14 and even teenage boy me was like “WTF is wrong with him??? How is this legal?”

As in the second Freedom’s Landing book, where the main character is totally opposed to having kids but then is taken aside by the other pregnant women and told that it’s really for the good of the colony and then she has kids and turns out that being a mother is totes amazing and she realizes how wrong she was.

I think a lot of McCaffrey’s work suffers from her not letting her women characters be leaders in their own right

Yeah, a lot of my favorites as teen are... not great in hindsight.

the whole “it’s not really rape if you’re linked to your dragon and THEY like it” bit is skeevy as hell

Not only that, but I think literally every scientific study out there on the issue has shown that abstinence-only education is vastly inferior to comprehensive sex ed at preventing teen pregnancy and STD transmission.

Do they honestly believe they’re teaching them HOW? Like one meeting about their school’s sex ed curriculum should clear that up, but I’m guessing they didn’t bother.

You take that back. They did the best damn Gob of any show from the mid-2000s.

Nothing wrong with being a perv; what’s wrong is being a perv who doesn’t respect consent or other peoples’ boundaries.

For those who haven’t seen the actual tweet this is referencing:

Yeah this entire story is batshit. Cults are so fucking depressing; how people’s desires to belong to something, anything, to have control over some part of their life, can drive them to things like this.

Hehehe. Cockles.

It’s a Friday and I just ate lunch. You try getting back to work.
