    Eclipse 2024

    Best of luck to everyone chasing the solar eclipse tomorrow. I hope the weather behaves. If you are close to the line of totality, it is definitely worth making the effort to get there. I blogged about how awesome it was back in 2017 (see: Pre-Eclipse Post, Post-Eclipse

    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

    Imponable Interlude

    Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.

    What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?

    This is one of the craziest things that I have ever tried to write and is a consequence of me having rather more unstructured free time than usual for the last week.

Solid-Rarity the Trade Unionist? · 10:11pm Dec 3rd, 2019

Taking a brief diversion from talking about science communications stories. I have another pony fiction requirement. One of my amazing friends in my trade union branch sent me a customised brushable pony.

She looks like Rarity, but this is Solidarity, the unioncorn, who is now the mascot of our casework team.

I now need a back-story. Is this Rarity’s long lost twin sister? Or alternative version of the Element of Generosity, who decided to fight for fair remuneration for textile workers, and support victims of bullies like Suri Polomare?

Any ideas?

Where are the main mass market maufactories located though? Manehatten looks more Stock Market and Design based?

Yeah, going with alternative version. The Rarity we know is bourgeois to her bones.

All I know is the internet has ruined me and I can't see "UCU" without thinking it's some variant of "uwu".

Let's think of more slogans for her.

  • the unfabulousness of one is the concern of all
  • No alicorns, no masters
  • Don't mourn, harmonize!
  • The secret of power is organization (which is basically just saying Friendship is Magic)

Yeah, Rarity is the biggest capitalist on the show. She literally gets a child to work in a mine for her.

Apropos of nothing, it feels like there are fewer leftists on FimFiction than there probably are. Ideas to remedy that?

I have no ideas, but am commenting just to show my support.

Has all production been outsourced to Appleloosa and Griffonstone?

In any good union story, there is a bit where characters from different trots of life have to come together and realise they are stronger if they work together. I think Rarity/Solidarity could unite the designers and the seamstresses; the Canterlot elite and the proletariat.

...For the unicorn makes us strooong!

The alt-right always act as if they are more numerous than they really are

The alt-right always act as if they are more numerous than they really are

To be fair, that's because everyone thinks that they're more numerous than they really are, including the alt-right itself.

Does the existence of a Solid-Rarity imply a Liquid Rarity?

Also hell yeah, pony unions!

Rarity: "Darling, of course, I support the UCU. One simply isn't born with this level of culture and sophistication!" Her voice drops down into sotto voce. "And just between the two of us, I had to develop this accent somewhere, afterall." :raritywink:

Solidarity, comrade!

Oh, and since I (and everyone else) forgot to bring it up...

the unioncorn

Tell your friend to go to their room and think about what they've done. Even if you were the one to come up with the actual pun, they still enabled it.
