Not To Be A Bitch On Main But Y’all Comparing Heartstopper’s Renewal To First Kill’s Cancellation

Not to be a bitch on main but y’all comparing heartstopper’s renewal to first kill’s cancellation like one was more privileged than the other because it’s mlm with white leads, you missed a very important part that should be addressed.

Heartstopper is NOT a Netflix production. The show is produced by sea saw films. Meaning it’s way easier to renew it as the money doesn’t come from Netflix. I doubt heartstopper would have been renewed for one, let alone two more seasons if it was solely a Netflix production. They would have gotten rid of it just like they did with many other queer shows we had in the past.

But let me be very clear! I completely get why people are mad that another wlw show got cancelled! And I wholeheartedly agree there are systemic problems for lesbian representation in media, as there’s clear misogyny, racism, lesbophobia and many other problems with the higher ups and corporations like Netflix who don’t see the value of seeing queer women of color as leads in their shows.

Just don’t blame the other show that luckily got it’s chance (not thanks to Netflix). That’s what people responsible for systemic issues want. They want to turn people against each other instead of focusing on what it’s really the problem

“this makes me personally uncomfortable”, “this seems in poor taste”, “this is somehow harmful but presumably because you’re misinformed” and “this is actively malicious” are all different things. remember that

The Technoblade channel releasing a video where his father reads a letter announcing that Techno has passed away titled “so long nerds”, then dropping a line of post-death merch where all proceeds go curesarcoma.org to is both the most fucked up thing Techno could have done, but also the most in character thing he could have done. Even in death he’s trying to make people smile.

Fly high Techno, We’ll miss you bud.

How science fiction predicted recent high-tech developments in chemistry

Real-world technology is often foretold by science fiction. In 1927, characters in the film Metropolis made video calls to each other. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry hung flat-screen color monitors on the walls of the Enterprise decades before we did the same in our living rooms.

The most obvious examples of technology in science fiction tend to focus on artificial intelligence, communication and transport. But futuristic chemistry is embraced by sci-fi writers too. For example, a central feature of Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel Brave New World is a chemical antidepressant.

In recent years we’ve seen incredible leaps in chemical technologies—to the point where, as a chemist, I’m frequently reminded of some of my favorite fiction while reading about the latest big developments.

A plastic world

While environmental issues are a common thread in science fiction, not many deal with the blight of plastics. An exception is the 1972 novel Mutant 59: The Plastic Eaters. This story, featuring a bacteria that digests plastic, would have seemed far fetched a few years ago. After all, plastics have only been around for 80 years or so, which hardly seems long enough for nature to evolve a mechanism to eat them.
