british is not synonymous with white

european is not synonymous with white

the world is not divided into USA (melting pot), white countries and brown countries

"um you know the type of person I mean when I say british" hey do you think this line of thought may have Implications

I love, love, LOVE it when I can tell a fic author has integrated their specialized knowledge in a fic. I was reading a fic that at some point included the character going to visit an art therapist, and it's so clear that the author is an art therapist themself, and the details included are just immaculate and I love it. I've previously read about a character doing fencing for no other reason than the author clearly wanting to write a sport they understood. A character being given a hyperfixation on bugs just so the author can infodump themselves.

I eat it up every time, it brings such a smile to my face

Everything needs to be glass, if it can’t be glass it needs to be ceramic, if it can’t be ceramic it needs to be wood, if it can’t be wood it needs to be stainless steel, if it can’t be stainless steel it needs to be stone, if it can’t be stone it needs to be glass

I want you all to imagine with me, if you will, what I witnessed today.

McDonalds parking lot. teenage boy. giant polished white ford Tundra. windows down. blasting. I mean BLASTING. Beethoven's moonlight sonata. boy demolishing burger.

I know vampirism is often used as a metaphor for the drain of the aristocracy but I think it would be fun to have more vampire characters who were just some guy before they got turned. You seek out the most ancient vampire in existence and find out he was a 40 year old wheat farmer in ancient Mesopotamia when he was turned 7,000 years ago and he hasn’t been doing much since then.

My favorite thing about working in the food service industry is seeing news articles and think pieces about the new million dollar piece of technology that's supposed to replace the 19 year old stoner in the industry.

Like the robot that pours a beer for you. Sometimes. Versus the 19 year old stoner who can help you choose the beer you want, give you a sample, pour it perfect, switch out the keg when it blows, and probably convince you to stick around for three beers, a burger, and some karaoke, instead of one pint after work.

Or the million dollar robot that delivers your pizza, and can never find your house, gets stuck on uneven sidewalk, and blocks the path for wheelchair users. Versus the 19 year old stoner who can get your shit to your door rain or shine in exchange for a fiver and maybe a hit off your joint if you were feeling generous.

Or the espresso robot that needs a 19 year old stoner to run every part of the process except running water through the grounds.
