This is so fucking funny. Late 90's early 00's syndicated scifi was great.

This is me.

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

Fuck this.

Investors who lose money because they were lied to can sue to compensate their losses.

Meanwhile, college students who went into debt because they were lied to are expected to accept their losses.

Poor people are expected to take responsibility. Rich people are not.

Could you reblog this if you enjoy seeing your writer friends ramble about their wips on your dash?

That’s your signal to stay home.

How am I supposed to walk to work in these conditions

Cuddling in bed. This is a second attempt from the same reference.

[otherearthsoutthere]

YES. Me too.

Not something I ever wanted to do... My mom (62) recently got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I'm trying to raise funds to cover her bills so she can spend more time with my dad (69) instead of him having to work his construction job while she's sick. The GoFundMe is here.

Literally anything helps. I'm not in a position to help them myself, since I recently lost my day job, but if anyone would like to commission me for some art, I will gladly work for donations. Thank you for reading.

I adore DS9. The care given to even the tertiary characters and their stories was excellent.

Thinking of Deep Space Nine as "the Dark Star Trek" without digging into what made Deep Space Nine work is so reductive. Like when people discuss Star Trek being "dark" now people bring up "DS9 was Dark and you loved that! Trekkies would hate it now!"

Deep Space Nine didn't work bc it was Dark and it wasn't Dark out of nowhere. Deep Space Nine is intimately tied to TNG in a way no other series is with another (Voyager could've been just as rooted in DS9, but. Y'know. Wasn't). Not only in characters, but that the show is so devoted to exploring deep cuts from TNG: the Bajorans, but also the Ferengi, long dismissed as failed villains, and the Trill, one-off aliens-of-the-week who DS9's writers turned into one of Trek's major species. The central thesis of DS9 isn't that the Trek Universe Is Fucked Up Actually. It's that things get more messy and complicated when Starfleet has to stick around and not dash off to another planet at the end of the episode

DS9 is darker than other Treks, yes, but DS9 is also the warmest, with the most grounded, human characters, not in spite of the fact that two-thirds of the cast are aliens but because of it. The writers treat alien characters as not representatives, but individuals. They treat everyone as individuals, with foibles and flaws, not as perfect, straitlaced future people. DS9's dark episodes are darker than other Treks, but also it's more willing to get silly and emotional. Only DS9 could do the "Sisko confesses to a conspiracy to get the Romulans in the war" episode, but also only DS9 could do the "a holographic lounge singer tries to get Odo and Kira together" episode right after it. Boiling the entire series down to "Deep Space Nine was the Dark Star Trek! Grimdark!" is...just not it

I never was able to train Thor out of being food aggressive. I was only able to get him to tolerate me just enough to be polite. Spiff was good as soon as he came in the door--no nipping, growling or guarding--he has been a model citizen!

Truth ™️

if you're gonna get into star trek you gotta understand that YES when it works it's some of the best anything ever put to television. but you gotta understand. it absolutely does not always work. you cannot truly love star trek unless you accept the fact that while more than half of the episodes are good, a not-insignificant portion of trek episodes -- especially from the most widely-beloved classic series -- are actually dogshit and terrible. and I would recommend that you love those episodes too

I love dandelion girl!

Sometimes I love the internet, actually. Incomprehensibly huge place but also so small. Saw a video on Instagram where Crayola was announcing they’re coming out with a box with some limited edition previously retired colors, including Dandelion. This video had hundreds of comments and almost all of them where “omg where’s the dandelion crayon girl she’s going to be so happy” and it was such an unimportant thing, but it was just cute
