#Texas class

Was anyone going to tell me that’s there is an episode of Lower Decks about starships with DADDY ISSUES or was I just supposed to find out myself by watching each episode without knowing what will happen next?

So today I finished rewatching Lower Decks in preparation for season 4’s premiere and I’m sorry if this is the dumbest thing to complain about but I just need to get it out there.

It bothered me immensely that the big bad of season 3 was a Hispanic guy from Texas. Like, of all people, why him??? Trek has so little Hispanic/Latino representation that I instantly latched onto Buenamigo when he was introduced. And to just throw that in the trash and make him a villain really angers me.

Do you know how fucking overjoyed I was when I saw Buenamigo had an Alamo on his shelf?The symbol of my hometown?! And then later when they showed the rest of the Texas memorabilia on his shelf including two flags, four commemorative plates, and a lone star. Sorry if this is graphic, but I was practically creaming my pants.

So to learn that he was a selfish fucking douchebag that only cared about advancing his career, used Rutherford and forced the implant on him to cover his tracks was extremely frustrating. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. And that also kinda reinforced the stereotype of Hispanics being shady and untrustworthy. Which, you know, is fucking awful.

And the Texas class. Oh God the Texas class.

Look, I enjoyed the season 3 finale. It was cool seeing all the California class ships in a space battle against a super powered Starfleet vessel. But there was this looming implication throughout the episode. The fact that the problem was the Texas class threatening to end the California class, the Texas ships turning evil and destructive, and all the Cali class ships coming together to destroy the Texas ships… it gave off some real California supremacy vibes.

I do not think Texas is perfect. It has a shitload of problems, especially in regards to their politics. But it is big and beautiful and diverse. I grew up in San Antonio where the majority of the population was Hispanic/Latino, so seeing the lack of representation for my ethnicity in media (positive rep, I should say) makes me so upset. We deserve better. Texas deserves better, at least I think so.

And one more thing regarding that Cali supremacy: California's not that fucking great. Texas has its fair share of natural disasters, but at least we don't have constant earthquakes and forest fires. And if y'all haven't noticed, a lot of people have been leaving California to move to Texas in the last decade. I wonder why that is...

Yeah I know my bias is showing. No I am not sorry.

"We are calling for court support on September 19 at 8:30am, in Fort Worth, Texas, in order to support drag defenders fighting a civil suit from fascist group New Columbia Movement. The courthouse is located at 100 N. Calhoun Street, Fort Worth, TX, and the hearing will be in the 4th floor courtroom for the 48th District Court

Once the courtroom fills up, we are also inviting people to stand outside the courthouse with signs and banners showing their support.

More details to come soon, but the tl;dr is that everyone should cover identifying markings as a standard anti-doxxing precaution, and should remember that the goal of this particular action is not disruption, we are here to stand in solidarity with drag defenders facing legal persecution and show them they're not alone"

Rill Nykur's High School Nightmare that causes him endless stress. Mostly just Belle and Rem though tbh he respects Nine and barely registers Trev's existence. I actually had a doc detailing what each of them think of each other lol but here's also a simplified chart

Every day Rill dies approximately 30 to 40 times
