Dread. Pirate. Kel. Living that 80's Life in 2016

You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles. Canadian. Crazy. Prone to knitting, biking, reading, and running. (Here: Books, My Dog, Various Fandoms, Hockey, Running, and Knitting.)

I don’t know if I’ve ever hit hold so fast in in my life.  From summary alone, the book looks like it is right in my wheelhouse.

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

[shuttersmiley]

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.

[sim0nbaz-deactivated20170205]

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

[fancyeliza-deactivated20200804]

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

[cryptovalid]

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

[gunthatshootsennui]

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.

[deathcomes4u]

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

[velocigrey-deactivated20160825]

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.

Got that?

Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

[athenadark]

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

[thepsychicclam]

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

Sometimes I accidentally receive email intended for other people. 

I try to be helpful. 

(Meanwhile I haven’t replied to like the last six emails from actual family members. I’m the worst.) 

[bartdontlie]

UPDATES! 

Jules replied to thank me for pointing out her error. She regrets to inform me that they already have an officiant: 

Then while attempting to send the wedding weekend accommodations email to the correct Ed she sent the original email to me again. 

I’m still trying to help: 

I haven’t heard from Jules since Friday so I suspect this is the end of our correspondence, but I’ll keep everyone posted. 

[bartdontlie]

UPDATE! Pete and Jules’s big day is almost here! 

It seemed like the right thing to do for all the joy they’ve brought us. 

[bartdontlie]

Oh my god oh my god oh my god! 

Pete and Jules sent me a thank you note! 

Complete with a very nice note: 

Aren’t they just the best? I should probably send them a thank you note to say thank you for the thank you note, shouldn’t I? 

Of course I should. 

[bookoisseur]

God I fucking love the internet.

You know, no matter how much we fought… I’ve always hated watching you leave. That’s why I did it. So you’d miss me. I did miss you.

I want to thank the Star Wars franchise modelling healthy human/droid relationships for us

[lazaefair]

My favorite part is how well-matched these two pairs are. Poe is sunshine and optimism and cheery hugs, and BB-8 is a friendly adorable basketball. Cassian is cynicism and angst and sniper rifles, and K2SO is a giant angular font of sarcasm. Even their color schemes match.
