So we rewatched Paper Girls (it’s on Amazon) and it’s like sooooo Good (well like the characters and actors are soooo good - some of the CGI is like a bit Rubbish) and now we are all annoyed again that there wasn’t a second series and it ends on like kind of a cliffhanger …

(And like even if it got rescued now for a proper ending like Farscape did then the Paper Girl actor girls are like prolly already too old to be the Paper Girl character girls)

But it is like worth watching because having SiFi about cool 12 year old girls on bikes is Awesome. And it’s like realistic about like how stuff like having your first period when you are (like not by your own choice so you dint get to pack supplies) time-travelling would work…
And there’s like lots of cool women and Queer rep and talking about sexism and racism and society stuff as well as laser guns and robots (and like without the sociology stuff taking over and stopping it being a good story)

(Like I know we could read the comics to find out what happens next but comics are like hard for our eyes/flavour of dyslexia)

In the BeforeTimes people would frequent make a screened comment post after BiCon for people to tell them anything or ask questions (and to have the awkward conversations to match people to usernames - which is sadly less of an issue these days unless we can collectively coax a whole load of new people over here).

You do not have to have been at BiCon to play.

So if there is anything that you would like to tell me or ask me or whatever here is a space for it. Comments are screened and will stay screened (DW works more sensibly than LJ did so the journal-owner can reply to screened comments with only them and the commenter being able to see the exchange)
You can be anonymous if you really want but then you’ll never see your comment again (because it’ll be screened) and the only ways I’ll be able to reply that you can see are if I unscreen my reply here or address it in another post…

Current Mood: curious

Ooooo the Hot and Bothered podcast is continuing its series of looking at Romantic Films with a set of episodes talking about Queer Romances. The first one is about But I’m a Cheerleader and it makes me happy because the hosts genuinely love the movie as well as discussing it critically (though it makes me feel old when they talk about it’s “historical moment”

There’s also a bonus initial episode with the awesome podcast veteran Kathy Tu discusses Queer Romances Books with H&B’s Vanessa - and they coo over the high levels of Bisexual Inclusion in the genre.

In a conversation about internet-ness this morning (specifically the sometimes random amounts of time between A sending an email and B receiving it) I used the phrase “like a wheel within a wheel”. And consequently have had this song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

(There are umpty different versions but I’m particularly fond on this one by the glorious Alison Moyet)
