The universe is an open ended sandbox rpg. There’s no end goal. You can only get achievements. Some of them include making other people happy
Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl.

Science fiction was invented by a woman.
Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.
Isaac Asimov.
yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point
If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels
Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it
even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?
PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame
And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.
Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:
Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.
Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.
You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.
Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it
I have literally been telling people this for over a year.
the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman
The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).
The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.
hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free
if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people
So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?
yes
But why should we get this stuff for free? Just because the majority has it or doesn’t need it? That’s not how that works. In life you can’t have anything for free. You work for a good home, you work for good clothes, you work for good food, you work for health care! If you didn’t then you would crumble your economy and also destroy the country you live in you walnut! HNNG.
you know there are places in the world where healthcare is affordable and/or free and the world hasn’t blown up, right? why shouldn’t the rest of the world be the same?
How is “country should provide means to make citizens healthy mentally and physically” a radical idea
My medication is free. My psychiatrist appointments are free. France also has a small but very efficient system for free therapy. In general, if you suffer from a chronic or prolonged illness (cancer, diabetes, arthritis, you name it), medical appointments and medication to treat your health issues are free. Otherwise, prescription-only medication is always free, the price of over-the-counter medication is regulated, and doctors’ appointments are almost completely refunded: a visit to my GP costs me 2€, and people who are too poor to pay even that are exempt. Healthcare should absolutely be free and accessible to everyone.
Cuba’s had free/state provided gender confirmation surgery for trans folks for years, and they’re a tiny, poor country that’s had to deal with active aggression from the US. If they can do it, then Western nations surely can.
other ppl: i love playing evil characters its just very freeing to go into a fantasy world where there are no rules and just relieve some stress, you know?
me, wearing a hall monitor badge and playin a lawful good: haha yeah
