Cancel Culture Strikes Again
Within the last few years, a new term has become quite popular - “Cancel Culture.” Cancel Culture sprang to the forefront around 2017, as certain celebrities found themselves “canceled” for problematic actions or when unpopular ideological ideas surfaced. Cancel Culture struck again this week, as Lucasfilm fired Gina Carano, a Mandalorian star for political thoughts posted on social media. "Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future," a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement. "Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable." So, what did she post that was deemed so offensive?

Desperation is dangerous.

Stay Alive. Top Story - February 2021.
Slender fingers of amber light poke through the window display, politely illuminating the shop interior. He looks up from his paperwork. Moving shadows from the street randomly interrupt the sun’s rays. On days like this, as his focus shifts from desktop to window, he easily imagines himself a lone figure at the centre of a zoetrope; the world beyond the plate glass flashing past: slowly coagulating into one coherent image.

Fudge Pt 4
What happened next happened as fast as the Flash with a bad case of diarrhoea. One second I was tentative but dry; now I am wet and wishing I was anywhere else but here. And so it began, the First Mate had called the order for the contestants to be dropped into the pool. Now the only the thing he had to worry about was the sharks swimming furiously below him and the rest of the group.

Fudge Pt. 3
The Town Square was epitome of organised chaos. The townspeople were here in force and you didn't have to see them to know they were there. The noise coming from the crowd was enough to register as a 4.0 on the Richter Scale. Then there was the band, who had to play louder so that they could be heard. Anyone one with pets at home should ensure that they are safe and well because I'm pretty sure you can hear the noise coming from the town square too.
