It did not escape my notice that, of the two Black male characters in Project Hail Mary, one was in a pseudo-antagonistic role [if only briefly], and the other didn't have a speaking role at all and died.

The only Black woman that I'd noticed had maybe 3 lines, if I'm being generous.

[cheshirepirouette]

Like, imagine if Grace was cast as a Black character.

The beloved middle school teacher that goes above and beyond in teaching his students, and his students reciprocate his love in turn.

He's dorky, awkward, can't make it two steps without stumbling over something. So earnest about everything he does and considers, but still finds this divide between himself and others that he doesn't know how to cross.

Him being signed on to the project, with them making it just as clear that he's expendable. They want him for his knowledge and will take as much from him as they can, up to and including his own life.

"For the good of humanity". Grace, who declines the opportunity to go into space because he may be socially isolated, but he still wants to live.

And is then forced to go anyway. A one-way trip orchestrated by someone he thought was his friend, who betrayed him- who is willingly sending him off to his death.

Like, this one change and suddenly we're talking about medical racism and the ownership of Black bodies and how they're used and discarded afterwards.

The film could have Meant something more. It just feels like a wasted opportunity to me, especially with the ending. Grace could be more.

I think on some level this isn’t even exactly a lie it’s sort of like when a 4 year old tells you that they can talk to dogs or they can fly when no one’s looking or whatever it’s like undeveloped brains not even knowing how to conceive of what a truthful statement is

Transphobia is about to be signed into law in the UK. We can fight this.

I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality

Last year we broke the record for an LGBT+ mass lobby of Parliament. Will you help us break it again? Join us on 25th June 2026 to demand be

The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.

Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.

A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:

Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.

Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.

Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns

Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.

I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.

It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:

Worried about what to say? Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. You will also get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.

Money issues? Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.

Got a refusal or no response from your MP?  Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.

Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:

Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination. e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).

Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee. If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)

Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).  A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).

Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).

Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.

I have also made a PDF printout of QR codes for the government petition, email your MP tool, and mass lobby link to pass around your communities. DM me and I'll send it to you.

an aesthetic: steve rogers compartmentalising everything in his life that is remotely personal / romantic / non-platonic and shoving all those type of Things he feels and has ever felt had about tony stark into this pandora’s box that he never opens and having that box explode in his face every time the marvel universe is torn apart by some cataclysmic disaster, at the center of which is usually tony stark, and dealing with the fallout of ten years of messy, complicated, aggressively repressed Feelings

[ishipallthings]

#steve rogers always: yeah i’m just going to stay angry. i find that relaxes me. #u could take a page from the tony stark school of pining and unrequited love which goes smth like #’ live with the painful life-destroying knowledge that u will always be in love with this man and he will never love you back the same way ’ #or u could…. do what steve does #just Bottle THat Shit U p and repress it for ten years and every so often let it consume ur judgement and fuck up your heart (via @wingheadshellhead)

[silkspectred]

#it’s kinda hilarious how often steve just loses his cool when it comes to tony#just loses all his marbles#every argument is a blade#with everyone else it’s A Difference of Opinion™#but with tony it is literally ‘he stabbed me in the heart so I’m going to break everything in half’ (axiomatiq)
