i picked up my life exactly where i left off 1000 years ago
I'm in a tumblr comicbook RPG and one of the Youths has informed us that the professor in the university course she's in has assigned them to read up on RaceFail.
Which is, in a word, surreal.
I know it's been just over twenty years since the whole imbroglio went down (twenty! YEARS!) [ EDIT: lol it's ten years but who can tell what time is anymore, not me ] but man. I look at that Fanlore entry and it's still vivid, and reading all those names, dear to my heart even now, brings back what it was like at the time. How new these conversations were in social media and online fan-spaces, and where we're at now.
I haven't posted on here in donkey years, and when I stopped it was because I was so burnt out -- I needed to take that break. Every time I come back, though, I remember what a pivotal time this was in my personal development.
Anyhow, that's all. Love to all you gorgeous creatures. <3

I'm not around here that much but I'm still alive and glad to see you too.
And yeah, it's been that long since RaceFail. The fact that many of the same issues are still omnipresent today is at once astounding and so very annoying. But that's me with my cranky fandom old self shaking my fist at the sky.
