OH: It’s a holy war that’s been going on for 500,000 years.
Me, to a stranger: This specific conflict is <100 years old.
Stranger: Yeah, but A and B have always hated each other. It’s a holy war.
Me: It’s very specifically a political fueled genocide.
Stranger, flailing: It’s… it’s holy war.

Went to a protest wearing a dragon onesie. A few drivers gave me the finger, more people asked to take my picture.

Oh and I got to see Allison Bechdel speak in person, which was neat!

Is anyone else watching the new Alien: Earth series?

I have many things I would like to discuss, but there is one less obvious while very unique comparison to be made between this series and the most recent movie, Romulus: the age of the cast.

Reading the original “Frankenstein” and found a precursor to modern slang: “All that he said threw greatly into the shade Cornelius Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, and Paracelsus; the lords of my imagination.”

I can stomp my feet and scrape my shoes, but nothing is quite as effective at removing mud from my shoes as gently walking around a tiled office floor.
