about nerd subculture
I really hate the idea of nerd-dom as a monoculture. If you're a nerd, *clearly* you like Star Wars, GoT, Dark Souls, Doctor Who, bacon, etc; of course you're some sort of tech sector type. (No books. Nerddom apparently doesn't include being a fan of Moorcock, McCaffery, LeGuin or whoever, 'cause there isn't a Foundation or Pern TV series yet.)
Ready Player One really seems to exemplify the monoculture. It feels like an ill defined identity reworked as a marketing scheme.
Hey y'all, I need a signal boost please.
My friend and their mom are in danger of being evicted if they can't raise about 12 thousand dollars by the end of the month.
They are both so lovely and good, their mom does so much community outreach and she really needs help right now.
If you could retoot this or even donate that would mean the world to me and my friend.
Thank you all <3

Incredibly, I managed to turn my day around and have a fun time at my friend's party last night. SHRUG.
Oh but they served rosé in tiny pink tea cups. It was very cute.
Today I wrapped another friend's birthday present in yarn and felt because I'm actually 5 years old.
Anyway hope folks are doing well today! You're all wonderful. :3
