If there were Imperial Radch t-shirts, what would be on them?

[hermanngottlaid]

Six of me attended the conclave and all I got was this lousy significance

[annleckie]

All right, this is awesome.

If there’s going to be shirtage, there will be one to start with and I’ve probably settled on what it would be, but this needs to exist some way. Even if it’s just a button, but a shirt would be bestest.

[hermanngottlaid]

I’m dying inside because I’d love any radch shirts in general but I’ve got such a soft spot for pins. still.

It’s difficult because if you have amusing pins it’s a delicate matter of making sure everyone you know reads them while navigating that fiddly “is it rude if I ask you to read my collarbone” line.

If nothing else maybe I can wrangle some personal favours and ask my wife to screen print me something no beating a good shirt.

inter-system make your own radch shirt day for next 2SID maybe

[annleckie]

I actually love the idea of “make your own radch shirt” day. And 2SID is as good a date as any!

I was playing with Zazzle just a bit, and it doesn’t seem to like Safari much so I’ll try it on a PC and see if that goes better. But, Zazzle, totally something that would make “Make your own IR shirt” work. I’m gonna maybe put that in my calendar.

@gayvarden, if I maybe were to make up buttons to give out, of “six of me went to the conclave” would that be all right with you? Seeing as it’s your (awesome) idea. (I am idly turning over ideas for Worldcon, for various reasons)

[hermanngottlaid]

I used to Zazzle! I have so many nonsensical quotes from previous fanaticisms on old cut offs (so good for lounge wear which is of course my fave) I’d forgotten about it until now and that’s an excellent idea. If nothing else when I’m in a more summery area of the planet of 2SID we could toss in some tiedye (black and brown tiedye?? Could be boring hm)

I’d be more than alright! I’d be chuffed and flattered beyond reason! Hence the excited punctuation!! 🐙 My mom’s gonna go to worldcon I’m gonna tell her about this!

No seriously that’d be wicked awesome and I hope it happens. I’m so excited!!

[annleckie]

Right, then! Buttons are a go for worldcon! (I may need to restrain myself. The con asked if anyone wanted to sponsor benches in an open (indoor) space at the con that’s meant to be, if I understand correctly, a version of the cool “fan village” Loncon had. Or if a bench is not sufficient, one can sponsor a “mini park” with a bench. I am in the process of establishing the Lieutenant Awn Memorial Park, and I keep thinking, “You know what else would be cool….”)

And woah, turns out buttons are relatively cheap. Any other button ideas/requests that might potentially turn up on an actual button? I am half considering one that says “so glad I’m not Dlique”

george lucas literally set up return of the jedi to be an allegory of/protest against the Vietnam War

revenge of the sith was so anti-Bush (Anakin even paraphrases a Bush line at one point) that people boycotted it

emperor palpatine was very deliberately based on Nixon

lucas later went on to compare Bush to Darth Vader and Dick Cheney to Palpatine, plus he’ll talk at any given opportunity about how political he wanted the prequels to be

but please, keep talking about how ‘the sjws’ have ‘destroyed star wars’ by bringing politics into it

[daisyridleyupdated]

Happy Star Wars Day!

Is that so?

Women have been a leading force in sanitation strikes, calling for equal treatment and job security. This particular service industry has been the focus of multiple feminist manifestos and employment goals. Women fought long and hard to gain the right to work in sanitation, and they’re continuing that effort to open up the field more. This issue is so big that Parks and Rec even made an episode about it. 

Female sewer workers have repeatedly sued the DEP for unfair treatment, seeking to open up the industry and gain equal status with their male peers. Sewer work is often targeted for its biased hiring practices. Hundreds of female candidates fight for limited available positions, but most are turned away, despite having the necessary experience and skills. Feminist workers recognize that these women are willing and able to do the work, but aren’t getting the opportunity to gain employment here. 

Historically, coal mining is one of the most highly targeted careers for gender bias. Women have been petitioning for the opportunity to mine safely since the Industrial Revolution. This is actually one of the primary and best studied examples of women fighting to enter traditionally male fields. Lots of women, who both succeeded in the mines and didn’t, continue to petition for increased access to this field. 

And yeah, women want white collar jobs too. Go figure - A diverse population of women, with different abilities, interests and levels of education, are all fighting for the right to seek diverse forms of employment. Fighting for equality in one sphere doesn’t mean that we’ve forgotten about the others. 

Just because you aren’t paying attention to the feminist movement doesn’t mean that the feminist movement is nonexistent. 

[stfupenguins]

“But you never see [oppressed group] demand [x]”

No, YOU never see it. Because you’re not looking.

[ladyoflate]

they made an entire movie about sexism in the coal mining industry even????

[voidwish-deactivated20170416]

I… I can’t believe this joke is real and came out of the party popper my sister just opened.

[voidwish-deactivated20170416]

Holding the actual joke in my hand again and still can’t believe it’s real.

[binarymachinelanguage]

#a joke about trans ppl that isn’t at their expense??? and is just a pun?????

[sailorfailures]

When I grow up I want to be Ming-Na Wen.

[housetohalf]

She’s the voice of Mulan, as if she wasn’t amazing enough.

[palindrome-mystery]

She broke it with her fingers. Not a fist, her fingers.

[spiffypop]

Girl is 50 years old.

FIFTY. YEARS. OLD.

[firebreathingeli]

fun fact: When you break things with your hands like that you have t break your fingers on purpose before so that they heal stronger. So basically this woman is so badass she broke her hands just to do this. 

[fuckingconversations]

You asshat, you’re making it sound like she snaps her fingers in half. 

Martial artists like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee (and yes, fucking Ming-Na Wen, that beautiful badass) will build up their bone strength by repeatedly (and fairly gently) striking sand, gravel, wood and steel - this creates tons of microfractures in their bones (smaller than even a hairline fracture) so the bones will heal over again and make the bones stronger and denser with increased deposits of calcium. 

This has to be done over long-ass periods of time, so the bones have time to heal, and none of the fractures expand into actual breaks. 

Oh, and she’s doing precise-ass kicks in HIGH HEELS. 

[snickersandjackdaniels-deactiva]

she kicks ass like a coursing river

[tacorub]

Saw this post so many months ago and I still think about it from time to time lol so badass

[thatsthat24]

Had the absolute pleasure of meeting her. She’s indeed a kind-hearted and gorgeous badass.
