The Stuffy Millennial

Between this and Delenn's BE SOMEWHERE ELSE speech, I get the feeling JMS was like "dudes have been hogging the bad-ass speeches in scifi for far too long. Let's try to fix the balance a tad, give the ladies some kick-ass lines!"

When it finally happens, in addition to the obvious partying and celebrating, you should go out and buy yourself a present, a treat, a reward, for having to endure him and for surviving him, you deserve it, you earned it, boy did you fuckin earn it, I mean jesus tap dancing christ

It hasn't happened yet as of this coming through my queue (alas), but I have decided that, when it does, I'll be doing my best to go out to eat at Red Lobster.

I'm going to make a huge batch of chocolate chip cookies. I'm going to eat too many of them, and then share the rest at work.

oh no, the secret is out

the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

meanwhile I, Redwallpilled since childhood,

Tell me about the food or what are you even doing?

Like. Look. Listen. I have taught introductory quantum physics at a university level, and I need you all to incorporate this into your trans advocacy: There are situations where you need to make a decision to prioritize being comprehensible to your target audience above being The Most Unassailably Correct.

Trans physicist, here. Endorsed.

MRI machines and cooling units and AC and IT systems in hospitals are breaking due to the heat. Lab equipment is failing. Some cancer treatments cannot be done due to machine failures. A&E overcrowding is worse due to heat related health issues and sheer amount of people is making the heat in hospitals worse (and the AC! Is breaking!) Patients with appointments are being advised to bring in "a lot" of water with them to be able to safely attend. Fans cannot be used in hospitals. Norwich has no functuoning MRI scanners right now. And the staff have to keep working through all of this, they are getting ill and sleep deprived which is compounding issues further. This is not normal 👍

Medical linear accelerators (used for radiation treatments for cancer) cannot tolerate much heat, and also generate a lot of heat during operation. So yes, if A/C can't keep treatment rooms close to standard room temperature, you're pretty hosed.

im so sorry that you're doomed by the narrative but i really need you to answer my message on Microsoft Teams
