every time i see someone call kirk and spock the oldest ship, i'm filled with the urge to go "hmm actually the holmes and watson girlies have been here for a hundred years now", and i refrain because i know the natural conclusion of this game is gilgamesh and enkidu

So I'm seeing a bunch of posts around these days suspiciously trying to tie shows being cancelled to the recent rise in piracy due to the uptick in streaming costs.

So I thought I'd remind everyone if the time Olan Rogers was forced to pirate the third season of Final Space because Warner Brothers had cancelled and memory holed it as a tax write off. A show HE CREATED.

That was back in 2022, before the hikes, before the mass wave of streaming sub losses. Don't let people fool you, it's not piracy that's killing your favorite shows. It's corps doing the same bullshit they always do.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, please spare a moment to mourn trans people who died in the closet.

People who were misgendered in their eulogies.

People whose lives were cut short before they could bloom.

People whose secret clothes will be thrown out.

People who couldn't survive the oppressive forces of transphobia.

People who took their own lives because the suffering of the closet was too much for them to bear.

People who were forced from their homes or their jobs because of their genders and died on the streets, or in poverty, socially murdered.

People who could've lived if they had a safe, welcoming community.

People whose identities were disrespected, mocked, and hated both in life and in death.

People who died on a waiting list.

People who died before they could get on a waiting list.

People who were denied the opportunity to express themselves, to live as themselves.

People whose graves are desecrated with a deadname.

If you're out and reading this: Help your sisters, brothers, and siblings in the closet. Listen to them when they ask for your aid. Reach out to them. Buy them clothes. Send them money. Tell them things about your own transition. More than anyone else, closeted trans people need community and support.

Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
