So, I appear to have started a blog. Expect rants. https://t.co/xOkAFwR6WT

I wonder what @andyweirauthor makes of being the writer behind two or those three movies…

As a former astronaut, I’ve got high standards for space movies. Here are my favorites.

I keep saying we never got rid of tribe warfare in the west, we merely gentrified it. It’s everywhere you look, politics, sport, brand loyalty, what phone you purchase, which OS you run, even which platform you play video games on, or which guitar you play. Everywhere you look.

[KelticBanshee @KelticBanshee]

Absolutely!

The fact that we had Storm Bert, and it wasn't followed by Storm Ernie when we got to the letter E, shows a massive lack of foresight on behalf of the Met Office.

Word of the day is ‘apanthropist’ (18th century): someone who dislikes company and desires to be left alone.

[KelticBanshee @KelticBanshee]

@susie_dent @UndeadMedic It’s a very necessary thing!

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

When I was 21 I was told that pregnancy could (and probably would) kill me AND that I was likely infertile.

I asked to have my tubes tied & was told “you’re too young. You may change your mind & want kids.”

Roe v. Wade was right.

@UndeadMedic Has become? I’ve always known it as a passive aggressive thing…

[KelticBanshee @KelticBanshee]

@UndeadMedic Only when it goes the way we want it to!

[Tim Mitchell 🇪🇺 @UndeadMedic]

I have noticed that “Per my last email” has become passive-aggressive business speak for “Can’t you fucking read?” and I’m so fucking here for it.

The right-wing cranks in *Your own party* literally stoked this fire; don’t shuffle around now trying to hide the matches.

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

Who could have predicted that the manufactured transphobic panic would end up with us attacking any women who don't conform to a very narrow cisheteronormative eurocentric view of femininity?

Spoiler: all of us, we literally all predicted this.

[KelticBanshee @KelticBanshee]

For some definition of funny… but yeah.

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

Funny how the 'I WON'T USE THEY/THEM PRONOUNS FOR YOU BECAUSE IT ISN'T GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT' people are suddenly all using 'they/them' because they've decided a woman might be intersex and therefore isn't a 'proper' woman.

[KelticBanshee @KelticBanshee]

@QueerlyAutistic Of course she is! Give her some head scritches and/or belly rubs for me will you?

[Neurodivergent_lou @neuro_lou]

Autistic traits passed off as being ‘too sensitive’ #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiverent

[KelticBanshee @KelticBanshee]

@UndeadMedic There is also a fair bit of “don’t do that” in Spain…

[Tim Mitchell 🇪🇺 @UndeadMedic]

"Close to zero"
Except for:
The cost of equipment
The time taken to learn the craft
The cost of extra musicians
Your own time in writing and recording the music
The time taken to promote your work, cos Spotify surely won't.
Music is as valuable as any other creative product.

[KelticBanshee @KelticBanshee]

“I don’t need support/ benefits” is a fair statement to make. Following it with “so why do you?” is not. No 2 people experience life or an illness or a disability in the same way. If you don’t need the support, count yourself lucky, carry on and let others have what they need.

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

I know we say 'don't be your kids' first bully' to parents, but we need to aim it at teachers as well. Sometimes, teachers are kids' first bully.
