Admirable clarity @science.org
The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

Actually it's just universal and timeless. You can read it at any age. For me, the Hobbit and Earthsea were the sparks that lit my passion for reading and writing. So frankly, they can stick their stupid opinions up their arse.

I'd like to see more original fantasy/sci-fi world as a TV show, and not one based on an existing book, game or comic, or a reboot of an old show or movie. Then there's no expectations. It can just be its own thing, and any criticism can be about what it is and not what some people wanted it to be.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: young man in a hoodie looking morose and sitting on a swing set. He says “she’s breaking up with me…” Panel 2: next to him is a glyptodon, an early ancestor of armadillos. With his head in his hands, the young man says “what do I do glyptodon?” Panel 3: the glyptodon says “I’m like an early ancestor of armadillos. The young man angrily replies, “are you even listening man?”

1. I would vote for anyone who could win a Democratic primary in 2028 2. I will vote for the most credible left candidate in the primary 3. The two-party system is bad and we should replace it with proportional representation 4. The presidency is bad and we should replace it with a Prime Minister

the Black Panthers were right
IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

You have a pride flag in your bio. You obviously think marriage is a term with no actual content that can be applied to anything. No wonder we say you don’t understand marriage

The rainbow in my bio is a reminder that G-D will never again bring destruction to creation, that His covenants are eternal, that his word is unfailing, and that His gifts to my foremothers and forefathers are everlasting.

In addition to this: your ideal story will not be fun, or good, or engaging. No one actually wants perfect, we want things with edges and weird bits and interesting surprises and choices we wouldn't have made but someone else did for actual reasons. 'ideal' is fake and a lie

"Diversifying" historical fiction isn't a case of shoehorning. It's a case of restoration. Archeological evidence reveals that ppl from Africa settled in Britain as much as 3,000 years ago, their presence recorded in the Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Tudor eras. History is written by the conquerors.

Four pairs of dividers were found on the Mary Rose. Made of brass, the pilot would have used them to plot courses and distances on navigational charts. We didn’t find any maps or charts on the Mary Rose though - paper doesn't last long in the sea!
A pair of brass dividers - two metal prongs connected with a hing on a curved section at the end.Two pairs of dividers sitting on the lid of a chest, next to a wooden case and a wooden tankard.

For the first 40 odd years of my life, I lived under state-sanctioned oppression. The reality is that a great deal of ppl are perfectly comfortable with fascism as long as it doesn't mean them. To see blatant hate speech as "just an opinion" is the outlook of the perfectly comfortable. Same old.
