-NarrendorMan, I miss playing the Matrix Online so badly… We’re watching the Matrix because finals and UGH I’M SO NOSTALGIC. The game has been gone for almost 5 years now, but I still miss it.
What are you doing here?: Your friendly reminder.
As a book, I love Ender’s Game to tiny pieces. It’s the anthem for the smart young outsider, and it’s a hell of an adventure story. I love it and I’m ashamed of how much I love it because it’s written by this man:
“Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage.” —Orson Scott Card
Orson Scott Card sits on the board of the National Organization for Marriage, attempting to ensure the second-class treatment of queer people and (impotently, but still) threatening to destroy the government over matters of simple equality. He is a frothing, virulent bigot.
Don’t pay to see his movie. Don’t let a cent of your money go to him or encourage the studio to make more films which make him more money to give to people who think pro-equality governments are their mortal enemy.Spreading the word, guys.
I loved the book so much when I was younger. And every time I think about this, I’m devastated that the gift of such a brilliant imagination and mastery over the written word was given to someone who is so hateful and small-minded where it really counts.

EYES
I feel like this just leaves me with more questions than it answers…
Am I totally weird for liking cold Indian food almost as much as I like hot Indian food? Probably.
"In the 101 top-grossing family films…from 1990 to 2004, of the over 4,000 characters in these films, 75% overall were male, 83% of characters in crowds were male, 83% of narrators were male, and 72% of speaking were male. When the American Psychological Association commented on this research, they said, ‘This gross under-representation of women or girls in films with family-friendly content reflects a missed opportunity to present a broad spectrum of girls and women in roles that are non-sexualised.’"

Not a god damn thing.
This if for you, Electrikfeather.
Thanks.
Okay, it’s 2am and I’m yelling about my love affair with space on the internet instead of actually doing anything productive. It’s bed time.

maybe 1. show them a business model and shiny graphs of how much money they could make off of commercial space travel 2. space vessels created 3.??? 4. profit/space travel
“How the hell did YOU get a space ship?” “Oh I just talked at the people with money until they gave me one to make me go away.” Perfect plan.
