In which I nerd

kaberettI'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:

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:
- Horses. "NO YOU BASTARDS YOU DON'T LEAVE THE SODDING BRIDLE ON," I yelled at The Hobbit.
- Gunshot exit and entry wounds. "THAT IS NOT HOW ANYTHING WORKS," I shouted at Skyfall.
- Knitting vs crochet vs other fibrecrafts (including brief excursions into embroidery).
- Fandom, pretty predictably.
- Speculative fiction that explicitly examines sociological ramifications of technological advances.
- 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).
- Railways, particularly of the 18th century, with emphasis on Austria & Cornwall & Isembard Kingdom Brunel & Richard Trevithick.
- Alpine flora.
- Pharmacology and drug interactions (I had Issues with a recent episode of Sad Vampire on this score).
- 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.

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.
