Finding it interesting that both 9-1-1 & Dr. Odyssey are doing earthquake causes a problem episodes this week. 9-1-1 earthquake causes water to catch fire by I think methane. Dr. Odyssey earthquake causes Tsunami. Looked both shows are showrun by the same guy Tim Miner.

We got a lot of time and we need to start preparing now. If we make it through Trump's presidency intact we need to elect a good democrat president (or if by some miracle the gop does a massive u turn then one of them that has good policies). There probably won't be official running announcements for a good while but let's get an idea of who is most likely to get in the race:

I would suggest reading up on all of these candidates and creating yourself a personal list of pros, cons, and achievements for each one. When intent to run does get announced, you'll be equipped to help support their campaigns.

Even before then, decide which one you would most like to see as president and try to support them in general. Widespread vocal support of a given candidate for president may increase the odds that they choose to run.

(I am getting started on both as we speak. I will reblog with my candidate preferences in order to encourage further discussion after I've done some reading. I am also going ahead and following the tags for each of these people's names as well as their social media accounts so that I get updates from them. I reccommend yall do the same.)

Also, now would be a good time to get involved with your local democratic party and learn how primaries work. Be prepared to show up and help us get a good ticket when the time comes.

I think people get mixed up a lot about what is fun and what is rewarding. These are two very different kinds of pleasure. You need to be able to tell them apart because if you don't have a balanced diet of both then it will fuck you up, and I mean that in a "known cause of persistent clinical depression" kind of way.

Mad stuff that's 100% canon in the Star Trek universe:

Going past warp 10 turns you into a hyper-evolved Salamander

Special cheese can bring down the highly advanced bio-neural circuitry of an Intrepid-class ship

A software mod can make a regular transporter beam across many light years

A software mod can make a regular transporter beam across universes

The addition of old DNA in a transporter can reset you physically to whatever age the DNA is from, but with all your memories and experiences intact therefore curing all ills

There's a forcefield surrounding the galaxy and nobody really asks why it's there

Touching it sometimes gives people Q-like powers

There's a Prime Directive not to interfere with pre-warp cultures but everybody does

There's a Temporal Prime Directive not to interfere with the timeline but everybody does

Captain Picard was turned into a Borg for a few days and was never the same again

Captain Janeway, B'Elanna Torres and Tuvok were turned into Borg for a couple of days and where just fine after

Discovery's new captain is probably still waiting on Vulcan

There's a planet in the centre of the galaxy surrounded by a forcefield with a big floating head on it that pretends to be God

The Borg, most deadly dangerous things in the galaxy responsible for enslavement of trillions, could possibly be forever defeated by a single jpeg of a weird shape but they don't do it because sympathy

There's a secret cabal of Starfleet officers that attempted genocide once and it's the only thing that saved the Federation

There's a universe which, when it bleeds into ours, makes everyone uncontrollably sing and dance

observations from urgent care

- People who exercise a lot get knee injuries from overdoing it

- People who only exercise occasionally get knee injuries from being unprepared for the exertion

- People who don’t exercise get knee injuries from being out of shape

- Maybe knees just suck

I’m about to save you thousands of dollars in therapy by teaching you what I learned paying thousands of dollars for therapy:

It may sound woo woo but it’s an important skill capitalism and hyper individualism have robbed us of as human beings.

Learn to process your emotions. It will improve your mental health and quality of life. Emotions serve a biological purpose, they aren’t just things that happen for no reason.

1. Pause and notice you’re having a big feeling or reaching for a distraction to maybe avoid a feeling. Notice what triggered the feeling or need for a distraction without judgement. Just note that it’s there. Don’t label it as good or bad.

2. Find it in your body. Where do you feel it? Your chest? Your head? Your stomach? Does it feel like a weight everywhere? Does it feel like you’re vibrating? Does it feel like you’re numb all over?

3. Name the feeling. Look up an emotion chart if you need to. Find the feeling that resonates the most with what you’re feeling. Is it disappointment? Heartbreak? Anxiety? Anger? Humiliation?

4. Validate the feeling. Sometimes feelings misfire or are disproportionately big, but they’re still valid. You don’t have to justify what you’re feeling, it’s just valid. Tell yourself “yeah it makes sense that you feel that right now.” Or something as simple as “I hear you.” For example: If I get really big feelings of humiliation when I lose at a game of chess, the feeling may not be necessary, but it is valid and makes sense if I grew up with parents who berated me every time I did something wrong. So I could say “Yeah I understand why we are feeling that way given how we were treated growing up. That’s valid.”

5. Do something with your body that’s not a mental distraction from the feeling. Something where you can still think. Go on a walk. Do something with your hands like art or crochet or baking. Journal. Clean a room. Figure out what works best for you.

6. Repeat, it takes practice but is a skill you can learn :)

Grant Imahara

I still miss him. (Random draft I had from 2020.)

I was really broken up about Grant Imahara’s death back in late July/early August and decided to write this long post about how i was feeling & all the information I was finding out about him, but it was lost when the page refreshed before I could save.

 Now I finally decided to get back to rewriting it. I bet no one will read this for more than the time it takes to pass it by on their feed or take the time to like or reblog, but here I go with the best of my memory.

   I siting here after his death and wishing I had paid attention more attention to him and the rest of the Mytbusters during and after the show. I have spent a few mornings waking up after some related dream that I can’t remember sad. I have also spent some time researching what he did before and after Mythbusters ad here’s what I found that I wish I could talk to more people about.

 The things that give me solace are.

1. He wasn’t alone when it happened.

2. He had a large group of friends that included Kari and Tory. Never really thought about how close they were outside of the show, but it warms my heart to see that apparently according to post and interviews, they would consider then selves not just friends but something closer to siblings. 

3. 

 He built a 600+ lb robot that he named spider. His intention was to get it to t point were he would be able to ride it. The robot almost rode him at one point. He was working on it alone late one night & decided to record himself testing it’s movement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0EOmati5_U) when it tipped over on it’s side almost crushing him; if it fell on it’s back it just might have gotten his feet or legs. Not sure if he ever went back to working on the robot after that.

  He built 3 different Star Wars robots Baby Yoda, BB8, & R2D2. No C3PO robot. Though he did dress up as C3PO for public events along with being one of the 3 R2D2 controllers at the time when he worked at THX & ILM, he happened to fit the costume & i was easier to get people who already worked for the company & signed NDA per a story he told (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A88okyGA2FQ&t=30s)

 1. Most recently Baby Yoda. He got the plans from someone who only ask that people donate toys & post about it. He made a post about it in March mentioning a few of the people he knew that helped him with different part of it that he couldn’t do. He said it was mostly finished except for some additional programming he wanted to add later, but it was complete enough that he made a plan to take it to a children’s hospital in April (We all know what happened there.) Some of his friends have posted video of him or themselves with the robot. One holding it like a baby, another was of him with it ironically in a baby carrier calling it his child. Hopefully someone will take Baby Yoda to children’s hospital’s in his honor.

 2. After being at at the Star Wars celebration in 2015 & seeing the debut of BB8 robot he decided to build one. He had planned to take it to children’s hospitals but realized that it rolled on the ground & would pick up germs & kids would touch it. Luckily Baby Yoda came along & he got to build that for the same reason. Looked to be finished & hopefully someone will take it to children’s hospitals in his honor.

 3. R2D2 being one of his seemingly longest running personal project. He did an interview in 2015 9https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ntnEC8Wy0o) company Mouser which he had partnered with & had used their product to build the innards to all his robots since he graduated college. In the interview he said he had started working on R2D2 15 Yrs prior & that he had put to the side & didn’t work on it for 6 Yrs. it looked compete enough to take to someone’s small 5 person birthday party. One of his close friends has a photo of herself posing with the robot. In the photo it had the blue light coming from a panel & from the eye socket thing. (Don’t know much about Star Wars more a Star Trek fan.) There is not video of the robot so don’t know if the head moved or it did any beeping or if he planned to make it do things like that in the future. At least it’s nice to know that he got it completed before he died.

Cute, cute, cute isn't that what Robbie said about Tom in a video they posted for the Tokyo games or one of him watching a competition in the run up to the games.

THAT'S MY PAPA!

[awnb95]

How often do the kids go in that room. I mean they have seen their Papa in only a Spedo for most of their lives, but that has minor ball peaking out from behind his hand.

I remember a few Yrs ago after Toyko Olympics going through Tom's YouTube & coming across the video of them & Tom's mom going to where this was pun intended (hung) for an art exhibition & just her reaction was priceless.

[awnb95]

Currently in a state. Wished I had someone that I could talk to about things I'm interested in with out feeling like they won't care or that it might be weird of me to be talking about things from years ago or that I might be obsessive because I'm going off again about the same person yet again. Not that I need more than 10Mins any time.

Take a bow KING 👑! Legendary career. You're incredible. Truly an inspiration. THANK YOU! ❤️
