I moved the text to Spoilers (where they probably already know, but still).
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Really pleased to hear that Zoe's feeling better, wholly unsurprised to hear that she had a psychotic break, as that was entirely how the whole situation struck me at the time. Really glad she's getting herself together. Wish her all the best in the future. Admire Trudy's Christmas spirit and love her for being such a damned nice person, but don't see any need to make an offer which (1) will quite definitely upset active members of the community, (2) hasn't been asked for by the lassie in question and (3) would go against previous decision. It's a kind impulse, but it's entirely needless.
Interpreting Zoe's email as a simple apology or as a hint that she'd like to be invited back onto the board is wholly a subjective interpretation. What's actually there in black and white is a very nice apology and explanation, and all power to her elbow. I hope she has a good Christmas.

Is this a Brit expression?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...er, I guess so. It means 'Go team!'

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I suspect the equivalent USian translation would be "It's Miller time!"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Note to self: Add to personal lexicon.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...I think it's more of a 'Go Her' kind of thing than a 'Beer Now!' kind of thing. Um. If that's what 'Miller Time' means? Sort of like talking about something needing a lot of elbow grease meaning it needs a lot of work. But I don't know that I've ever thought about it before, as such. Hmm...

That is what "It's Miller Time!" means.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Fay, "It's Miller Time!" is an old advertising slogan. It means, "It's been a long, hard day, and now it's time to relax." With Miller beer, of course.

Miller time is sort of you've done a good job, now here's your reward, so yeah, not quite the same. I was thinking more of bending an elbow in celebration.
Also, HI FAY!!!!
