(literally no-one liked this)
You actually do need noble lineage to rightfully rule, but since lineage doesn’t dilute, and given the historic sexual tendencies of people in power wrt their servants, eventually noble lineage spread wide enough that everyone had it and that’s why democracy happened.

It's like-- ok Lower Decks is probably great if you aren't, yknow, soaked in trek, but when you ARE you get done with an episode and all you can think about is how they actually called back to the salt monster from TOS and how much that watered your crops and then you hear about someone watching this as first trek and you're like "wait is it even still a show without this feeling??"
And it's probably actually pretty great, it's just hard to imagine from the inside what an outsider would get from the episode you think of as "THEY ACTUALLY WENT TO THE ORION HOMEWORLD I'M CRYING"
So I keep hearing veteran Trekkies talking about how Lower Decks must be *so* inaccessible to new viewers because they have all of those references. But then on the other hand, I think I've seen more new fans watching Lower Decks than any of the other series. Like, I think the canon references are just a bonus for long-time fans. I think that new fans probably just parse them the same way that they would parse any of the other wacky offscreen adventures that get mentioned. I don't think it's the continuity lockout that critics seem to think it is.

Say what you want about New Trek, it has given us like, multiple human female characters who are:
1: Able to beat your ass into the ground like a tent peg
2: Pansexual as hell
Necessary really, like, the amount of queer rep that Riker being kind of inescapably pansexual somehow despite how violently queer relationships were censored in the 1990s, translated to now, does equal about one pansexual woman who can kick your ass apart per Star Trek series. That's just math.

Honorable mention goes to two-pip Kim being absolutely FUCKING UNHINGED because that's what it takes for Kim to get a goddamn second pip

Going with "still friends, but tulpa husband definitely makes it weird, often on purpose"
do we think alternate universe garak is still friends with the real bashir or does the husband tulpa ruin it all

Diogenes would be so pleased with the memes.
Like I'm very sure he would point at the screen and say "good, my students are still doing the work"
I love seeing a meme and being like oh, tumblrs going to love this one

btw while people continue to fight the system don't forget about Undue Medical Debt (formerly RIP Medical Debt), a charity that buys and forgives medical debt. on average a donation of $10 will forgive $1,000 of medical debt.

Ecologically speaking this is one of the kinkiest things I've ever seen
so was anybody gonna talk about the new ecology paper proposing Ethiopian wolves as potential pollinators of native nectar-rich flower inflorescences positioned on stalks conveniently within wolf enjoying height AND that it includes photos of said wolves doing said unconfirmed alleged pollination (delightful) AND that it has observational evidence suggesting some wolves do like 1 flower and are done and other wolves just get really into it and spend upwards of an hour going between 20 and 30 flowers for up to 4-5 minutes per cluster just utterly going at it, lost in the nectar sauce? because I cannot BELIEVE I haven’t seen something on this webbed site about it yet. it just has everything this site enjoys
