kaberett: Aang waterbending an octopus around himself (aang-octopus)
[personal profile] kaberett
I'm going to be helping to run a workshop on sexual health for women who have sex with women. I wasn't able to make it to the first planning meeting; the plan arising that was e-mailed around was 85 words long.

I've just annotated and sent it back (not including the summary of awesome LGBT+ sexual health resources I'm available of locally & online - that's separate). It is now about 650 words long.

Here is some other stuff I occasionally nerd about in ways that surprise people who only know me offline, mostly in my non-fannish capacity:
  1. Horses. "NO YOU BASTARDS YOU DON'T LEAVE THE SODDING BRIDLE ON," I yelled at The Hobbit.
  2. Gunshot exit and entry wounds. "THAT IS NOT HOW ANYTHING WORKS," I shouted at Skyfall.
  3. Knitting vs crochet vs other fibrecrafts (including brief excursions into embroidery).
  4. Fandom, pretty predictably.
  5. Speculative fiction that explicitly examines sociological ramifications of technological advances.
  6. Ludicrous nationalism regarding tiny not-actually-nation-states nobody but me cares about (and even then I'm only about 50% serious, and otherwise generally strongly anti-nationalism).
  7. Railways, particularly of the 18th century, with emphasis on Austria & Cornwall & Isembard Kingdom Brunel & Richard Trevithick.
  8. Alpine flora.
  9. Pharmacology and drug interactions (I had Issues with a recent episode of Sad Vampire on this score).
  10. And for #10 let's have my grab-bag of things I think it's obvious I nerd about: wheelchairs. Mobility aids in general. Mental health, biological and sociological bases thereof. Medical and social models of disability, oppression, etc. Volcanoes. Gender Stuff. Endometriosis. Food preservation. Cooking. Castles. Scrabble. Self-care.

NO YOU BASTARDS YOU DON'T LEAVE THE SODDING BRIDLE ON
+1

also hooray workshopping! every time I read about something awesome like that I'm always like "oh I wish I lived in $LOCATION." if I lived in each of these places at the relevant times ... well, I'd need a TARDIS for moving purposes, or I'd have to be a billionaire for all the worldwide moving I'd be doing.

I've yet to see skyfall, but gunshot exit and entry wounds are fascinating. My dad used to be an expert on them as a SRN in the RAF. Most people know the small entry, large exit idea, but you can get large entry wounds (eg, tumbling rounds), small entry and exit (occasionally with large internal damage), and all kinds of weird things
