safe space

A distant corner of the galaxy where various strange alien lifeforms take refuge to escape the marginalisation they routinely experience from Roscosmos (under Putin) and NASA (under Trump, a Putin toady).

The atmosphere, or whatever little of it exists in safe space, tends to be a cross between 10 Forward of Star Trek and the Cantina from Star Wars. On a busy night, expect to encounter at least five or six genders and a wide array of alien lifeforms.

The few available expanses of safe space in this galaxy are getting crowded as interplanetary travellers are being increasingly marginalised as "illegal aliens". If it isn't Martians feeling alienated by the Mercury Theatre of the Air and their War of the Worlds, it's Mercury or Saturn experiencing depression as Trump proclaims "we don't need their cars". And then there are the attempts to police the gender of life forms on other planets, based largely on asinine self-help books where authors from ersatz second-rate colleges philosophise with daft theories that men are from Mars or women from Venus.

Eventually it gets wearisome, leading oppressed and marginalised planets to take refuge in whatever safe space the universe offers. In an ideal series of worlds, this would not be necessary, but the situation is light-years away from full respect for diversity, equity and inclusion for interplanetary voyagers, leaving the safe space an unfortunate necessity.

Get the safe space mug.

Hausdorff Space

I mean who tf really cares about some fucking random topological space having the property where distinct points are seperated by open set??? WTF, who came up with this shit.

If X is compact and Hausdorff Space, then X is T3....
