Tell me it's a slur and my queer ass will list off a whole bunch of actual slurs for you to be mad about instead

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

Starfleet headquarters with Tomalak.

*googles for a bit*

.. uh oh

New round of Star Trek wheelspins. Spin the wheel to see where you are and another wheel to see who you are with.

Tell me how likely you are to get out of this situation unscathed on a scale 1-10, where 1 is as dead as a red shirt.

No complacency. No "oh it doesnt matter." None of that lazy absolving yourself of responsibility bullshit. You get off your ass and vote. You want anything to change at all? Get off your ass and vote.

NO excuses. Get it done.

2026 House Elections

The Democrats House elections arm announced a jaw dropping 35 Republican seats it's targeting in its opening list for the 2026 (expect it to grow, first lists are always the most conservative target list)

So Check here if you're in one of the listed seats because control of Congress will rest on your vote, and getting out to volunteer will have a huge impact on what our country will look like.

Control of the US House in 2026 runs through these seats, the map will expand, and it'll expand faster of Democrats see fired up volunteers ready to go in their target races. If you march in a protest you have no reason not to sign up to volunteer with your state party, so look, do you live in one of these districts? close to one of them? sign up! get going!

Honorable mention to "i am asking you to carry out a procedure that's easy to perform, but has a process that takes longer than the entire game length leading to this point."

A funny thing about video games is that a lot of what passes for "difficulty" is really just being obtuse about what's expected of the player, which means I can often walk into a boss fight or whatnot that's considered very challenging by the fandom and no-hit it on my second try, not because I have any aptitude (I don't), or because I practice (I don't), but because I've been doing this for thirty-five years, and on the first try I recognised this exact gimmick from some random-ass Super Nintendo game from 1997 and thus already knew the counterplay.

... "no evidence of wrongdoing" is literally what involuntary manslaughter charges are meant to address. You may have done it by accident but your failure to react still resulted in a death. Drivers who cause injury or death get slapped with that all the time since, even if they were found to have violated no traffic laws, their failure/inability/unconcern/whatever that caused them not to slam the brakes or swerve or anything else but hit a person resulted in them hitting a person.

Fucking wow that's blatant.

a mom lets her 10 year old and 7 year old go to the grocery store unsupervised for the first time ever and a 79 year old in an SUV mows over the 7 year old as he's crossing a 4 lane street and kills him. no charges for the murderer - police said there was "no evidence of wrongdoing" - but the parents (both of them) are getting charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and misdemeanor child neglect.

this country is so fucking inhospitable to children. they cannot leave their fucking houses because of our obsession with driving 3000 pound child flattening machines. every year the SUVs and trucks get taller and taller and you physically cannot see children trying to cross the street and people just don't fucking care enough to do anything about it. we built our entire society to prioritize child flattening machines over actual children even though lower profile cars are perfectly servicable for the vast majority of use cases. our government would rather legislate and litigate children into de facto imprisonment than threaten auto industry profits.

i can't fucking bear this anymore. this shit is a public health emergency and NOBODY fucking gives a shit in any way that matters because it primarily affects children. because to examine/fix it effectively we would need to treat children as people in their own right instead of as the property of their parents. end car culture NOW. prison abolition NOW. youth liberation NOW.

Today on the twelfth of June, we remember the 49 people who were killed eight years ago at the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.  We are thinking of them, their families and their communities.

So I got myself a birthday present with the bday money my parents sent me. Despite my general incredible dislike of Apple as a company, I grudgingly admitted that an iPad is my best option for a drawing tablet that isn't going to utterly break my bank account and shelled out. I want desperately to learn tk enjoy drawing again, and I think being able to easily take it with me without having to clean up after it, set it up, or dig around for files would seriously help.

I got it on Friday.

And uh.

I had this by 1 am on Monday.

I think I might've been right

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

The notion of Orrig developing an appreciation for, if not an expertise on, tea fills me with delight

To be clear I'm imagining him giving a cheap tea-maker (the sort who deliberately does it badly and tries to pawn it off as an exotic blend for the discerning) the kind of flat dressing-down he gave the old lady after the cave troll job

Also anybody who gives someone crap for liking sugar or milk in theirs. Anti-gatekeeping tea lover orrig

It's kinda magical ngl

Orrig tries tea.

This is a comic I made on a whim, inspired by some reader comments comparing Orrig and Uncle Iroh.

My name is Sera, you might be familiar with my past work behind the scenes such as the Mass Effect trilogy, Dragon Age, Silent Hills, and many more. I'm asking for the people who have cherished my work to pay attention.

I'm an agoraphobic indigenous Kanienʼkehá:ka (Mohawk) mixed lesbian who has fought for several years a worsening health condition that is currently killing me. The point of no return is not that far away. I have spent years exhausting any paths and means to get help, enduring extreme and near endless pain. I have reached the critical point I have feared all this time. And to make matters worst, the family responsible for inflicting a lifetime of abuse on me is stalking me heavily online, which has not only exacerbated my agoraphobia, but has also made the efforts to build this harder than I could describe honestly. Know that I share as many details as I can while seeking to avoid undermining my immediate safety. This post is a highly abridged version of the content in the link below ❤

If you have been following me for a while, you are familiar with my struggle and saw me talking about it throughout the years. There are no other options or help besides this, besides you.

If you yourself have a health condition, I salute you for fighting your own battle. Regardless of whether you donate or not, if you read this far, know that you are loved.

A warm thank you to @transmechanicus & @mightyjoke , the kind souls who made this possible. I would be lost and doomed without your help. Attempting to save a human being's life is no small act.

(This is the new updated fundraiser for currency and geographical reasons as of April 14th, 2025. Original was paused at 20.8k. New goal was adjusted to take it into account. Kind words are appreciated.)

It's important to remember that musk isn't "turning" on Trump. He just isn't using him anymore (or can't). Musk is still a complete bastard who serves himself and himself only.

He's trying to make Trump look bad because he didn't get all the accolades he wanted for "saving" America and people still hate his worthless guts. His reputation is in the gutter and he's trying to win points back that he lost well before he outed himself as an actual factual Nazi.

And because he is a socially inept wet diaper of a human being, it isn't working on anybody except the wierdo ride-or-die guys it already worked on.

Hey just a quick check in- now that musk is like severely imploding on trump and their severed ties

Yall won't forget this part right?

Yall won't forget he's still a massive scumbag right? That he's still a nazi right? That won't get lost in translation right???

(I don't THINK it'll get forgotten but I really want to remind people that just because Musk is now bashing trump for all the shit we've known about him for awhile that we don't forget he was complicit. If anything his bashing and airing out trumps laundry makes it worse, because he KNEW all that and still worked with him.)

friendly reminder that if I ask a question like "how do I open a box" and your response is a three-minute video I hope you spontaneously combust

start typing out answers goddammit, if I need video assistance I will ask for it, videos take longer to make and to watch than typing "cut the tape and pull the flaps" does by far
