The problem is that we think the opposite of funny is serious. It is not. In fact, as G. K. Chesterton pointed out, the opposite of funny is not funny, and the opposite of serious is not serious. Benny Hill was funny and not serious; Rory Bremner is funny and serious; most politicians are serious but, unfortunately, not funny. Humour has its uses. Laughter can get through the keyhole while seriousness is still hammering on the door. New ideas can ride in on the back of a joke, old ideas can be given an added edge.

After the Invasion of the Bug-Eyed Aliens - Reactor
Two ex-military nurses, one human and one alien, share a friendship in a city following an alien invasion.
Reactor

I love this story so much. It's one of my favorite things that Rachel Swirsky has ever written (and Rachel is a tremendous writer.)

It's about the generational aftermath of an alien invasion of Earth, told through the relationship of two women, one human and one alien. It's funny, heartfelt, moving. Every time I read it, I laugh and I cry.

Wizards Vs. Lesbians: MOBY-DICK
Finally, the all-caps title is correct! During the 2023 Wizzly awards we all said we were going to read Moby Dick by the time the next Wizzl
wizlez.libsyn.com

Come on down to Wizards Vs. Lesbians, where we've recorded our longest episode yet - and, fittingly, it's on a book about the biggest animal ever, the sperm whale. I am sure the sperm whale is the biggest animal there is. The sperm whale is big and it's real and it's my nemesis and I don't know what that emo kid's getting up to with my harpooneer over there but it sure smacks of lesbianism.

Question: What is the greatest magic of all? Answer: Friendship, right? [B]: The greatest magic of all is not friendship, it's chronomancy, the ability to control and warp time. If friendship were the greatest magic, look, it's a pet peeve of mine (...)

This is true! I was writing a fanfiction and found an article that would be a great reference so I sent an email to the professor who wrote it with my .edu email and told him it was for a “personal project”. Never give upon your dreams kids

I am married to a professor and it is indeed all true. The only reason they bother publishing 90% in a fancy journal of their papers is because their university requires them to publish in those paywalled journals for promotion or tenure, or else it doesn’t count. Professors are not paid ANY money from journals.

They’d do the research anyway for the love of the topic, but they’d be a lot happier releasing it for free to the world.

#this is very true#my fellow writers:#please e-mail professors they love it#exception: do not e-mail a physics professor with your crackpot ideas about faster than light travel#they do not love that
