So the Winter Beijing Olympics have come and gone and…boy was it a wild ride this year. Let’s take a look at all the programs this year that were inspired by or told SciFi stories.

I'm sure everyone will agree that the last 2 years have been difficult. And let me tell you, I really, desperately need a vacation.

So what's a girl to do? The answer is obviously to surrender my body to a lingering spirit.

There always seems to be a disconnect between dystopian fiction and their Hollywood film adaptations. Hollywood seems unwilling or incapable of allowing their lead actresses to look less than perfect.

Every October 1st, my roommate places a black-and-white wreath on the front door to celebrate the spooky Halloween spirit. But there is a problem: the wreath is adorned in Jack Skellington lights and is clearly a THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS themed wreath. Why is it up in October!?

I wish I could say there was some sort of internal struggle not to cut my hair in the middle of our math lesson, but there was not.

The Gymnasium, wow. Either they really didn’t put any effort into this or they just wanted us to feel super nostalgic. I turn to the sign-in table and pick up my name tag attaching it to my shirt.

There are some real clickbait-worthy celebrity gossip stories floating around the internet that are so easy to dismiss in the light of day. That said, once you lay down and your brain casually is like “hey Robyn remember that Twitter thread about how Avril Lavigne died in between the release of her first and second album and was replaced by her body double Melissa Vandella?”, all of a sudden it’s 2am and you’re down the rabbit hole with no hope of escape.

To this day, I see posts reminding me and others who may be suffering with their own mental health issues, that “Space Mom would want us to take our meds and take care of ourselves.”

In David Levy’s book Love and Sex with Robots, he predicts by 2025 “at the latest, artificial-emotion technologies” will allow robots to be more emotionally available than the typical American human male (though that bar is fairly low). This just proves my point — sex/love robot stories should always be about male robots! Why don’t we have any of those?!
