I was just thinking about the topic this morning - basically I feel I've given up on trying to get into DEI. Is it ever appropriate for a white person to work in DEI? Of course white people can be LGBT or disabled or queer but, Idk, maybe it truly is better not to try. Unless I'm asked or tapped on the shoulder, like I was with my current job?

I wish I knew, about that fandom question! I am constantly trying to figure out why some shows make me go full-on fangirl to the extent of writing fanfic, while most do not. I can't figure it out. Like S1 of Star Trek Discovery, I was obsessed. Writing fanfic, shipping the M/M couple. Then I just kinda lost interest. The show is now in S4 and I still watch it, I like it, I really like the M/M couple, and there's even a straight couple on it now who I like a lot. But whatever magic chemistry made me go full-on fangirl over the show back in 2017 is gone. I have no idea why. (My only guess is that the storylines the past 2 seasons have not been as good?)

I'd sure love to figure all this out. Someone must study this! Like I love The Outpost but it has a miniscule - if any - fandom. Would I love it more and write fanfic for it if it had an active fandom?
