Hey, dudes! Feel like filling out a survey? Well, I've got one for you: childthursday is doing a sociology survey asking what race/ethnicity you'd associate with individual American Girl dolls here. A couple are surprisingly hard and got weirdly specific answers out of me, but mostly it's fairly straightforward, and you don't really have to know anything about American Girl to take the survey.* And it'll be interesting to see what conclusions she comes up with.

I just realized that the interior of the Nostromo is almost exactly how I picture the interior of the Pride of Chanur, only the Pride has more spots to secure loose items and also shorter doorways. And for some reason I imagine the hani would paint the walls a tasteful adobe pink.

However, the rest of it—catwalks, giant clunky control panels, blocky padded doorways, blinking lights, varmints in the ducts, and of course boxy 80’s* greenscreen dot-matrix computer technology—them are all the same.

Also you should go read the Chanur Saga. It is awesome.


*Well, almost 80’s.
