Gina Moriarty, a Reintroduction:

Hello! I'm Gina, I'm nearly 30, and I'm a jack of all trades!

I work in pharmacy, which I really enjoy, and have been in the industry for 5+ years.

I'm a LARPer, a hobby in which I can try on personalities, explore myself, and create stories with a huge range of people that I will remember for years. I try my best to document these on social media as LittleLarper.

I'm a voice actor and self-taught podcast editor, figuring things out as I go, and hoping to make an impact on the people we reach.

I'm passionate about people. I'm generous and kind and can't see an injustice without doing something about it.

I want to learn more about make-up, SFX, fashion and creating costumes.

I'm a dog and snake mama and wannabe cat mama.

I don’t want children, but I love my nephew and unborn nibling without question.

I love fantasy and sci-fi, especially Lord of the Rings and Mass Effect.

I love to organise, but my undiagnosed neurodivergency makes it difficult to maintain. I still love it anyway.

I'm engaged to my soulmate, someone who complements my strengths and weaknesses, who loves me as I am but still makes me want to be better.

I’m bisexual, biromantic, and still figuring out my gender. The closest identifier I have for myself is demigirl, and I use she/they pronouns. To me, personally, being bi and being pan are the same (ymmv).

I’m a perfectionist, hating things that I’m not very good at immediately, but I’ve also been very bad at recognising the things I am good at - which I’ve been working on in therapy.

I’m stubborn, and can be passive-aggressive, but I’m also compromising and a people-pleaser. These things seem at odds with each other but for me, they go hand-in-hand.

I have strengths (compassionate, intelligent, empathetic, creative) and I have flaws (stubborn, clumsy, dismissive, overthinking).

I am many things, have been others, and will be many more.

But I will always be me.

Remember kids! NEVER save left-over antibiotics! You should never have leftover antibiotics, because you have to finish the whole course! Not doing so, or giving your antibiotics to someone else who hasn’t been prescribed them is how we got superbugs, that are resistant to antibiotics! 

ALWAYS finish your antibiotics, even if you don’t think you’re sick anymore! NEVER give your antibiotics to other people, there is no guaruntee they will have any effect, or the same effect, and without a full course, will not help them even if it is the right medicine for the job. 

BOTH cases result in resistant superbugs, which are dangerous to everyone, and hurt everyone. You might think you’re helping your poorer friends who cannot afford an antibiotic/to be seen by a doctor, but you’re not. You’re just hurting everyone. 

[apersnicketylemon]

Medicine that treats symptoms and painkillers are not antibiotics! Please stop bringing these up! 

I am talking ONLY ABOUT ANTIBIOTICS ON THIS POST, please, please stop adding in about drugs that are not antibiotics on a post about specifically antibiotics! ONLY antibiotics cause super-bugs when taken incorrectly, medicine that alleviates symptoms, pain, or other things do not create super bugs, and I am not talking about them! Thanks!

[caitas-cooing]

Take antibiotics until they’re gone or your doctor tells you to stop.

[ginamoriarty]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TAKE YOUR ANTIBIOTICS PROPERLY

[geekydemigodinthevoid]

I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.

[geekydemigodinthevoid]

Does anyone know who these artists are?? They’re brilliant and I’d like to credit them!!

The “guys I respect” artist also came out as non-binary, generally got more accepting. It’s growth.

[matamatoki]

Really need to remind people that the debimbofication isnt “other girls” posting its fetish art with no social commentary intended

[skeletonclaw]

Gav’s Tavern Hi, I hope you like this. It is different from what I usually do. Also it was a lot of work.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The Dublin spire isn't a bad looking landmark per se but why does it look like it was specifically designed to pop blimps

[what-even-is-thiss]

It looks like whoever designed this hates balloons.

[what-even-is-thiss]

It's a 120 meter tall stainless steel spike. Can't go in it.

[timemachineyeah]

this looks like it was designed specifically so you could trip a kaiju and impale them with it

[echojulietfoxtrot]

I used to hate it, but it actually makes more sense when you're actually in/moving around Dublin lol.

Most buildings in Dublin are less than 5 storeys high, so you can see the Spire from most of the city centre, and get to the rest of the city from it fairly easily.

The Spire is designed so it works as a landmark you can see from almost anywhere.

Before Google Maps was really a thing, and even now it is, you could use it as a physical reference point to move around the city, and you're kind of drawn to it one way or the other naturally. It's kind of a giant IRL map pin.

That means there's always a group of people at the base; teenagers meeting up with their buddies before setting off for the day, tour groups, folks from out of town just off the bus waiting their friends, and - my perpetual favourite - well dressed people with visible nerves trying to act cool as they wait for their dates.

So rather than a blimp defense system, think of it more like a spawn point.

Also when there's a Star Wars movie they turn it into a lightsaber.

[null-is-sparing-you]

for those interested, this is a good example of how "Major structure you can see from everywhere" is a good thing for cities. The needle, though maybe not loved by everyone, is exactly as EJF says - a navigational reference point.

If you were ever lost, you could look for the needle and identify a major spot in the city. This can help avoid getting turned around (since you can track your direction in reference to a single point) , or provide a known spot to return to if you get disoriented.

This would also mean that if someone was new, they could learn the directions from the needle to where they were staying, and then travel the rest of the city with confidence that they can find their way back when they are done.

Water towers can serve a similar purpose in smaller towns, which is one of the reasons why they're often kept, even when no longer used for storing water.

In conclusion, make fun of how it looks all you want, but this giant needle is now part of vital city infrastructure.

[headspace-hotel]

So I’ve begun reading Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Theater of Love, by Chuck Tingle...

[headspace-hotel]

If only every author gave approximately this number of fucks.

[headspace-hotel]

I’m about...5? Chapters in? My impression so far is that one is better than the first one (Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus, for the uninitiated).

A lot of parody works don’t stand all that well on their own as stories, but as batshit fucking insane as this parody is, it is somehow not one of them. It’s got genuinely interesting worldbuilding and a relationship at the core of it that you can genuinely root for (or at least *I* am).

Like, the healthy communication, mutual respect, boundary setting, it’s so??? Good???

This is not batshit crazy dino porn.

This is batshit crazy dino ...mutually respectful, openly communicative, healthy love???

[headspace-hotel]

I have the overwhelming need to communicate to you that when I say “worldbuilding,” I mean it’s implied that Harriet’s last spell, which closed off the last book, was internationally banned by the United Nations because it threatened to crash the global economy.

And also this.

No one is doing it like Chuck Tingle.

[headspace-hotel]

“The readers should know to use plenty of lube.”

This book is an experience impossible to describe. The fourth wall breaks work, and they’re so goddamn funny, and somehow make it acceptable to receive a PSA from a sexy dinosaur about the importance of lube.

[headspace-hotel]

Okay, so, I last read this when I was in school and lowkey having a breakdown, but now I’ve decided hey, it’s a good time to come back and finish it!

[headspace-hotel]

Chuck Tingle delves more deeply about his magic system and how it relates to his characters than JKR does in any given equivalent amount of words

[headspace-hotel]

It has happened.

I have purchased Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus

Will provide updates

[headspace-hotel]

IT’S HERE

[headspace-hotel]

I’m going to start it pretty soon. I’m for some reason locked out of my student account and email and IT was no help as usual, so what is there to do except read a parody romance novel written specifically to spite J.K. Rowling?

Chuck Tingle has more or less become a meme because of his bizarre titles and covers and because of the Hugo fiasco, but I’ve heard relatively little about what it’s like to actually read his work and I frankly have no idea what to expect or if I should go into this with expectations at all

[headspace-hotel]

This book is...surprisingly easy to take seriously as a book. I don’t know what I’m trying to say. But it’s like. A Book and not just an extended joke. Like on some level it’s not particularly terribly written nor does the plot like, completely exist in service to the...whatever humor is derived from the self-aware absurdity of the premise

[headspace-hotel]

AFSGFBCHH??

I love that he’s not even described as a humanoid dinosaur. He’s just sexy goth tattooed Severus snape and he’s also a parasaurolophus and we are left to just figure it out

[headspace-hotel]

I have to talk about what is going on with the worldbuilding. Like this is a parody. Of Harry Potter. But there’s an entirely different magic system and....everything???

In summary

there doesn’t appear to be a statute of secrecy type thing magic is just fully integrated with the modern world and modern technology

Harriet is a wizard, but that means that she creates spells by typing them out in long manuscripts, which on one level is a nod to the book publishing industry but on another level is kind of interesting in of itself

there’s a??? spellcasting industry??

there are different types of magic users other than wizards, and they appear to be based on the d&d classes

or at least, bards exist and they are distinct from wizard

the dinosaur is a bard

Bigfeet exist and they are integrated with modern society

there are sentient motorcycles and no one finds this in any way unusual

THE DINOSAUR IS A BARD?!?!?!

[headspace-hotel]

...Warlocks in this world get their powers from a pact with Chuck Tingle

[headspace-hotel]

The fourth wall break is killing me.

[headspace-hotel]

The sexy dinosaur is also trans

[headspace-hotel]

As much as I love skillfully crafted satire that takes deft jabs at the flaws of the thing it’s lampooning, there’s also something charming about how every character in this book has a name blatantly and hilariously derived from a Harry Potter character regardless of how most of their roles in the story barely resemble anything like characters in Harry Potter.

...You know, I’m not even sure Chuck Tingle has read Harry Potter.

[headspace-hotel]

I’m back to reading. Does chocolate milk have intoxicating effects on sentient motorcycles??

...sentences I never thought I’d write

[headspace-hotel]

um im lowkey getting feels from this like there are some genuinely emotionally resonant bits in here what the fuck

[headspace-hotel]

chuck tingle’s magic system is unironically better than jk Rowling’s I’m sorry

[headspace-hotel]

I’m so sorry to sample the sex scene but. “sexualis secondus” just killed me. I have been pronounced dead by this book. im obliterated this is indescribable

[headspace-hotel]

I.

I literally have no idea how to describe what I’m experiencing right now. Like this is a somewhat poorly edited parody adult dinosaur romance novel but. It’s genuinely?? Creative?? In a lot of ways???? And there’s a lot of heart to it, a lot of genuine powerful messages about identity and about art and creativity and the fourth-wall-breaking device is...I can’t explain it because that would spoil it but it’s actually pulled off so well?????

This is not like, a humorous joke story this guy did for Being a Little Shit and Spite reasons, it’s like actually in its themes and message a genuine “fuck you” to j.k. Rowling’s transphobia even though it’s this absolutely wild janky batshit story and I have never experienced anything like this in my LIFE

I did not expect my adhd little heart to be touched by understanding of my fears about creativity and writing and its place in my life. Not like this. What the fuck. What the fuck.

[jellybeanium124]

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

[cognitohazardous]

whenever i hear about hustle culture i always think about this post on r/antiwork
