HOUSE M.D. S07E08 ✣ ‘Small Sacrifices’

[dirtyscholar]

Anyway American trans friends, now's the time to put "be gay do crime" into practice and the first step is to get onto secure communication channels so you're not discussing details of what you're doing and how on the public internet.

> The college I attended was small and very LGBT friendly. One day someone came to visit and used the word “gay” as a pejorative, as was common in the early 2000s. A current student looked at the visitor and flatly said, “we don’t do that here.” The guest started getting defensive and explaining that they weren’t homophobic and didn’t mean anything by it. The student replied, “I’m sure that’s true, but all you need to know is we don’t do that here.” The interaction ended at that point, and everyone moved on to different topics. “We don’t do that here” was a polite but firm way to educate the newcomer about our culture. […]

> It turns out talking about diversity, inclusion, and even just basic civil behavior can be controversial in technical spaces. I don’t think it should be, but I don’t get to make the rules. When I’m able I’d much rather spend the time to educate someone about diversity and inclusion issues and see if I can change how they see the world a bit. But I don’t always have the time and energy to do that. And sometimes, even if I did have the time, the person involved doesn’t want to be educated.

> This is when I pull out “we don’t do that here.” It is a conversation ender. If you are the newcomer and someone who has been around a long time says “we don’t do that here”, it is hard to argue. This sentence doesn’t push my morality on anyone. If they want to do whatever it is elsewhere, I’m not telling them not to. I’m just cluing them into the local culture and values. If I deliver this sentence well it carries no more emotional weight than saying, “in Japan, people drive on the left.” “We don’t do that here” should be a statement of fact and nothing more. It clearly and concisely sets a boundary, and also makes it easy to disengage with any possible rebuttals.

> Me: “You are standing in that person’s personal space. We don’t do that here.” > Them: “But I was trying to be nice.” > Me: “Awesome, but we don’t stand so close to people here.”

> Them: Tells an off-color joke. > Me: “We don’t do that here.” > Them: “But I was trying to be funny.” > Me (shrugging): “That isn’t relevant. We don’t do that here.”

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.

wizard college is going to kill me I swear to god. I just saw someone without a component satchel reach into their pocket and pull out a handful of LOOSE tapioca to use as a substitute for blood in their fell ritual. and it worked. I've never been so fucking mad.

He said come wander with me love,

Come wander with me,

Away from this sad world,

Come wander with me,

he came from the sunset.

He came from the sea,

He came from my sorrow,

And can love only me.

I've been pondering the Unification video.

In the very beginning we see these clips which are in line with what we've seen in Discovery, which is that Kirk's body was recovered after Genesis and then put in stasis

And then Kirk is apparently resurrected, either through scientific intervention or by Gary Mitchell. And then we see Yor, who's from the Kelvin universe but has made his way to the Prime universe. He gives Kirk a combadge and Kirk is transported to that tunnel which seems to be a tunnel between the Prime and Kelvin universes, which is further supported by this frame showing the crew picture frame that is given to AOS Spock after Prime Spock's death.

So it definitely seems like we have a healthy appearing Kirk Prime in the AOS universe.

It's just had me wondering if the next time we hear rumblings about the next AOS movie if Shatner will be in it. Now they have the perfect excuse for why he'd be there knocking around and getting into trouble
