Welcome back to your regular fix of Meerkat Musings! At the end of the previous Muse I’d remarked upon an upturn in the weather, and it took only a few days for this glorious sunny spell to come to an abrupt, ignoble end. This coincided with a scheduled trip into London (for the first time […]
This is weird. This is a notion I can’t wrap my head around. Do we accept racism, sexism and homophobia as part of tolerating intolerance? Do we accept people who espouse these ‘ideas’? Within the Star Trek fandom there is a philosophy – Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations – IDIC. One quick, snap interpretation of […]
Stolen quite gleefully from a Star Trek Facebook group…
Welcome one and all to the latest Meerkat Muse! What’s been happening to this meerkat these past couple of weeks? Well, I’ve continued to rejoice at the return of Formula 1, football has continued to provide frustrations (more on that below), we’re up and running at work, we’ve had family time, and the weather couldn’t […]
How brilliant is this? Tawny Newsome plays Beckett Mariner, the feisty and defiant ensign who loves to skirt the rules in Star Trek: Lower Decks. On Twitter she’s letting the hater crowd know exactly what she thinks of them, and why not? There are so many who repeatedly predict the demise of the new Star […]
It’s Meerkat Muse time! We are into April! The fourth month of the year brings with it the chance to ease lockdown measures (providing the R number of the Coronavirus continues to fall), which in turn means the bathroom showroom where I work can reopen! Currently the intention is to swing open our doors on […]
Once again social media is blowing up with conservatives getting anxious that their freedom of speech is being curtailed. Once again the key word that often goes overlooked is ‘consequences’. There are many examples of comments and positions that can have consequences. The most recent relates to the comments of Gina Carano, who played former […]
I’ve recently on Twitter of attempts to suggest the people behind the #WeAreStarfleet hashtag are awful. If we are to accept that, then the perpetrators of that suggestion, the self-styled #FandomMenace, should take a look at themselves, for their behaviour is no better. Exhibit A: This ‘charming’ response to Fibble.. More from Fibble… There are […]
A bit of a bolt from the blue this, but I’m not complaining. Any opportunity for publicity and attention is a welcome one! Check out my interview at Reader’s Magnet!
Be warned, there are spoilers ahead for Season 2 of The Mandalorian – if you wish to avoid them, don’t read this post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Still here? I have to assume you don’t mind some major spoilers. Season 2 of the series began with […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
