#he shouldn't be made into a joke

[marymoss1971]

Why do some people think it'd be funny if Harry Kim showed up in Star Trek Picard and he was still an ensign?

That would pretty much be the *opposite* of funny!

I don't even thing he should still be an ensign in the Lower Decks era.

I am not lying when I say that I can't stop thinking about this.

i will always shout praises of bi4bi but given recent discourse I feel the need to say that I love bi4het too! I just love bisexuality in general in its many forms, and anyone who only likes it when it's 'queer enough' for them is biphobic. Bisexuals should be able to bring their LaMe CiShEt BoYfRiEnD to pride without being made to feel like spectators and outsiders to their own event.

Women are allowed to be excited about shipping two characters in a show they're watching without men undermining their interest or rolling their eyes at them cause it's not "serious" or "smart" enough.

if any of you are still feeling weird about that infamous interview, here is what alex said about it (and why that ashley girl doesn't like him). i really want to point out that what alex says here is the exact same thing us, miles fans have been saying since forever. so, if you are a fan of alex, but throw shit at miles, just remember that your favourite also supports him. and maybe think twice before starting arguments with miles fans and keep in mind that alex has the same opinion about it all.

Alongside Arctic Monkeys, Turner has a long-term side-project called The Last Shadow Puppets with his best friend, the Birkenhead singer-songwriter Miles Kane. During the promotion for their last album, the two did an interview with a female journalist from the music webzine Spin. Turner was being his usual unforthcoming self, so Kane attempted to break the ice with some groan-inducing banter. This included inviting the journalist up to his hotel room when she asked what he was doing after the interview, which, in hindsight, was pretty stupid (he realised as much the next day and emailed her to say sorry). The result, though, was a lengthy op-ed calling out Kane’s unprofessionalism and the misogyny of the music industry at large. Personally, I found some of her complaints against him a tad flimsy — holding eye contact for too long, high-fiving her, “yanking” her in “for a not entirely consensual kiss on the cheek” as she said goodbye, and not least the idea that interviewing a rock star is ever supposed to be an exercise in professionalism. What did Turner make of it all? He sighs. “I think he made a joke he shouldn’t have made and realised he had misjudged the situation.” I thought it was a bit OTT, I tell him. “Yeah, I’m not sure it was deserving of that response honestly, but you just can’t make a joke like that.”

So Dungeons and Daddies Season 2 is really just taking the average coming-of-age story and making it to every horrifying extreme, huh.

It is that moment in which you realize your parents don't know what they're doing any better than you do, and people present it like it's something comforting, but it's just even more terrifying because there really, really is no right answer. It's realizing that no, love isn't enough, sometimes you love your family and it just made everything worse. Everyone who came before you fucked things up even when they were trying to make things better, and unfucking everything just seems impossible, but not even trying is such a depressing option, and one your kids will never be able to forgive you for.

I have many feelings on this.

Half of this man's arguments against sex differences in humans is... talking about animals. Why?

He uses sex and gender interchangibly and assumes that people who argue about only two sexes are actually trying to claim that there are only two genders, which is false and ill-informed.

His very first argument that supposedly "blows dimorphism out of the water" is that some people are infertile and don't produce either gamete... Ignoring the fact that said infertile people are still BUILT TOWARDS the production of those gametes, even if on an individual level they cannot produce them.

He tries to claim there is true hermaphrodism in humans, which there is not (and none of his sources support, either).

Despite all of this, he still acknowledges that humans are a dimorphic species which accidentally also acknowledges that there are only two sexes (lmao).

He believes in brain sex and uses sources that support that idea even though it has been long since debunked.

He talks about gender identities in animals (what???? That isn't a thing?).

He argues about natural variation in animals with emphasis on how it's not a disorder but a natural variation, and then refuses to acknowledge that intersex disorders are NOT natural variation and ARE in fact disorders.

I love how he says that the SRY gene is not just a magical on/off switch for male vs. female and then goes onto describe the SRY gene as an on/off switch for male vs. female.

He even called an androgen insensitivity disorder in women a condition that magically makes her male???

Then he started arguing that hormones make someone male vs. female but ALSO everyone has all the hormones at all times so hormones cannot possibly account for male vs. female sex (???).

Just about the only thing he said that has any merit whatsoever was one throwaway line about how some people have partially developed ovaries and testes at the same time, which would actually lead to ambiguity between the male and female sex. However, those individuals would still be categorized as male or female based on other factors (most likely if they produced sperm or eggs - again hermaphroditism doesn't exist in humans and no human can produce both - or genetics).

TRAs cannot think critically, have to assume that radfems define sex as XX or XY with no variations, have to assume that radfems are trying to dictate people's gender identities or their personalities or whatever (which would require that radfems believe in gender at all?), and have to assume that radfems have 0 understanding of biology.

Also, just as an aside, just because someone has a degree in biology doesn't mean they magically know everything about that subject. Which the guy IN THE VIDEO admits, because his particular field of study within biology was in anthropology (NOT genetics or hormones)! I also have a bio degree (BS in general biology), and the only reason I know as much as I do now is because I've read more on the subjects after graduating.

Good god, learn to think critically.

"How freakin' hot is she?" - Noah Puckerman about Lauren Zizes, after her performance of I Know What Boys Like

Listen, I'm just getting really emotional about how so completely into Lauren Puck is. He is unapologetically unashamedly totally into everything about her. He really does think she is the hottest shit around and he wants everyone else to know that, too, and as a fat girl it's honestly just so refreshing to see that shown on screen. She's big and confident and she doesn't take shit from anyone. She tells him when he fucks up because she knows she deserves the best and he DOES want to give her that so he works on it! He learns!! And he's not just some random dude either - he's a football player, one of the most popular guys in school. And to see someone like that want to work so hard for her, be so openly into her, to be attracted to her not in spite of her appearance but also not because of it, it just is. So as someone who relates to her and sees myself in her, it really does mean a lot.

also a special shoutout for real like wendy epic ableism moments when she stops talking directly to winston and expresses this is b/c he communicates too incorrectly (here too literally or whatever, once again whether he misinterpreted her or she misinterpreted him, it's put on him) and thus he doesn't deserve that
