"The middle class is a fiction created to obscure the relationship and conflict between the owners and the workers"
It has always bothered me how US media and politics focus entirely on the so-called middle class. Like why the fuck does nobody care about the poor? Now I know.
"Just 10 minutes more," I thought to myself, as another minor shock wave from an explosion gently rippled past my rescue pod. The automated protocol blared at me sternly: How dare I snooze its efforts. A cloud of small fragments had been ripped off the dreaded prison ship's carcass. The curved bright trails in the planet's atmosphere bathed my face in warm light. I hadn't been this happy in years. This glorious fireworks of freedom. "Just 10 minutes more."
I was just recently reminded of my favorite "controversy" to ever happen in the hobbyist board gaming community - One Deck Dungeon.
So, ODD was going to be the first ever "roguelike in a box", and people were hyped - a way to scratch the itch of playing classic video games like NetHack, except with cardboard!
The game was released, word got around how good it was... and then vultures descended, attacking it with whiny posts and reviews.
For, you see, ODD had committed an unforgivable cardinal sin, in the eyes of these nerds:
All four playable characters were women.
All I have to say today is that it's very hard to be nonbinary in today's world.
So, do what you must to survive.
Even if it's strange or silly, just do what you can to get through today because tomorrow you might get better options.

The dragon smirked at the two knights. "So, who rescues who?"
"I'm sure, if I needed rescuing, my husband would be up to the task," said the first knight.
"And if I needed rescuing," the other said, "I'd trust my husband to do it."
"But who," both knights said, "will rescue you?"

This is what happens, I thought to myself. This is why I hate this place. Just when I am about to reach that darn connector the wrench slips from my sweaty fingers. Blame the heat duct, blame the missing convection, blame that you decided that this was "just a quick fix".
In the end, space always finds its way...
