From Andrew Dobson:
So much of geek/nerd culture has been shaped by women over the years, and yet people often overlook it all. They’ve not part of some new “SJW agenda,” they’ve been there since the beginning.

Flappers Who Fought: How 1920s Women Kicked Gender Norms with Jiu-Jitsu
Forget the flapper dresses and Charleston dances—this video takes us back to the 1920s to uncover a side of women’s history rarely explored! While the world was busy dancing, some women were busy fighting—literally. Suffragettes used jiu-jitsu to defend themselves during protests (because why just march when you can armbar your way through?) and everyday women were getting in on the action to protect themselves in the big, bad city. And let’s not forget the jiu-jitsu instructors who flipped gender stereotypes upside down—talk about kicking societal norms right in the… well, you get the idea.

The World’s First YouTuber-Designed Death Trap on Wheels Is Here! [Comedy Sketch]
Imagine a YouTuber thinking, “Hey, why not release a car?” Now picture that car with glass seatbelts (because regular ones were just too safe), a cheese steering wheel (for added snackability), and, of course, an upstairs VIP section. It’s dropping Monday, exclusively for middle schoolers who can’t drive but will absolutely beg their parents for “the most fastest car ever.”
Forget crash tests—who needs ‘em when you’ve got hype, touchscreen seatbelts with games, and a vehicle more flammable than a firework on the Fourth of July?
My Roomate, John the Human, Has a Possible Hoarding Problem. AITA? [Short Sci-Fi Story]
An anonymous alien asks this very important question: I (129) have thrown away an object of significant value to my Human roommate (29M) during a routine cleaning of our shared housing unit. Now he won’t stop sulking and refuses to converse with me. AITA?
My roommate and I, John the Human, have recently cleaned out our shared housing unit as it had been getting cluttered due to the amount of trinkets John the Human had been collecting. We agreed to dispose of any unnecessary clutter and finished the cleaning yesterday. The day after, John the Human became unexpectedly distressed, asking if I had seen an object while cleaning his room, which I have identified among the things I have disposed of. Now John the Human is sad. I am confused.
