I absolutely endorse Bones' suspicion of transporters, especially in view of what happens at the start of this movie!

This scene with Bones just having been beamed up to Enterprise is hilarious not only because of his beard and outfit (which are, obviously, Amazing) but also because this poor man looks like he's trying to determine if his liver just got beamed up upside down. Which, considering what happened earlier, is not that unlikely. Star Trek TMP might be a weird movie overall but it has its moments.

And did you know that if it won't rain but you really need it to rain, you can make it rain.

did you guys know that when you are in bed at night time, you can turn on a lamp, put a really soft blanket around your shoulders and read your book?? and sometimes it will rain??? did you know that???? the wonders of this life do not cease!

You knitted God a hat

to protect him from the cold.

To protect him from the wild winds

of the harsh and lonely world.

You knitted it with love,

you worked hard on every stitch,

so that not a gap remained through which

the wildness could be seen.

But you did not knit it tight enough.

Your stitches were imperfect;

or perhaps it's in the nature

of every knitted thing

that the children found a thread

hanging loose, and pulled it, laughing,

and everything unravelled

leaving just a heap of wool.

There was no God inside it,

so you threw the threads away.

Meanwhile, God ran bareheaded

through the wild, wet winter's day.

hi! this is probably a very basic question compared to the cool colors you see here, so feel free to pass on this one. but if you’re down to answer, i have a question about my kitty’s color.

this is Piper! i’m not super well versed in cat colors so i just call her grey or a grey tabby. she has these orange-looking spots on her back (tried to attach my best pics of them - they show up better in person) that i’ve been wondering about. are they just natural color variance? dilute calico/tortie genes? environmental discoloration from before i got her?

i actually got thinking about this recently bc she had kittens before i met her and i was theorizing about what they might look like!

I think that's the tortoiseshell in her! The "proper" name of her color is blue tortoiseshell mackerel tabby.

About her kittens:

They could've been tabbies for sure, and maybe solids, depending on her and the father's genotypes.

Black and red sons and tortie daughters are all definitely possible, and depending on the father, black OR red daughters.

Piper is diluted, this means the father decides: if he was homozygous dense, there only could have been dense (black and red) kits; heterozygous father means both black-red and blue-cream are possible; diluted father means they were all diluted (blue and cream) too.

White spotting only if the father had it.

I shan't bother going and looking up said post because I'm not really open to scientific debate on my identity. I like science, don't get me wrong, and if it's going to weigh in on things like what illness I might have and how it could be treated, great!

But who I am is who I am, I am the arbiter of my own subjective experience, and it is decidedly outwith the remit of science to validate or invalidate my personal experience of sexuality and romance.

I'm sending you all a little bit of this attitude to get you through the day.

The admin the-boy-who-kisses-boys was talking about aspec and it all being neuroscience etc and was making me uncomfortable, can you make me feel better

Oof yeah I found the posts you were talking about, Anon, and I can see how it can be upsetting. It's really hard not to just go over this point by point and explain what's wrong with it. But I will say that the science comes out in favour of asexuality, and supports what the community has been saying. And watching a few Youtube videos on neuroscience (that aren't even about asexuality) doesn't make you an expert in anything.

Also like every sexual orientation is a social construct. No one was identifying as straight, gay, bi, etc. 500 years ago. Social construct doesn't mean not real. Money's a social construct too, but my bank account still plays a very real role in my life.

I'm sorry you came across this, Anon. Generally speaking most lgbtqia+/queer people are supportive and welcoming of aces and ace experiences. But bigots tend to be loud and like to use tactics to make themselves seem more legitimate than they are.

Otherwise maybe hanging out in more ace-centric spaces might help you feel better too.

But hopefully this was helpful too. All the best, Anon!

Did you know your eyelids flutter when you dream? And you have such pretty eyelashes.

They're like little butterflies... I want to catch them and keep them in a jar.

I took this very nice picture of my adorable boy, Frumpkin, cuddling under the blanket so I'm going to make you all look at him. Because what else is the internet for, if not to look at pictures of cats?

g/t romance is great and all but my heart has such a special place for platonic size differences. the trust and reliance a tiny has to have, how careful and soft the giant is. that's their friend! they manage to take up the exact same space in each others hearts! it's so beautiful.
