i saw a fat actress complaining about casting calls saying they’re looking for “thin actors who are in shape” and the comments (cause it was instagram and terrible) were almost all some flavor of “god forbid SOME ROLES are for skinny people and not you cow” and its like babe. ALL ROLES ARE FOR SKINNY PEOPLE TF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? When is the last time you saw an actual honest to goodness fat bitch in a play or a movie???

People in my replies calling Bones racists again 🙄
Reckon they think Spock's racist too or do they just save it for the character they've decided to simplify into a one note hollowed out version of what canon had?

Star Trek is, at its core, about conflict resolution and building an diverse, equitable society but sure I guess what we really needed all along was some slay fierce cunty black sites the house down boots cia bullshit
i actually keep thinking about that post about Kurtzman saying Star Trek can't have an idealistic world without...well, all the things that make it not an idealistic world at all I guess. So much for reaching for something better lol.
That's still annoying me.
"I'm sorry, nerds, you can't feed everybody and conquer bigotry without extrajuducial killings."*
THAT'S ONE WAY TO INTERPRET "THE NEEDS OF THE MANY, I GUESS." IDIC, MOTHERFUCKERS.
*although according to contemporary Star Trek you STILL can't feed everybody and conquer bigotry regardless.
i'm so salty today.

POV: you’re fighting a facsimile of your college bully and trying to act tough.
I looked up Bruce Mars who played Finnegan in Shore Leave and damn...I was not expecting this.

I low key hate that the animated series retconned I-Chaya to be an actual large dangerous beast because Amanda simply would not describe that as a teddy bear. In my mind spock basically had a house cat sized saber tooth tiger with bear ears and no tail that he loved dearly.
Star Trek challenge, Day 10: Favorite McCoy/Spock argument
This is less of an argument, but it IS my favorite McCoy/Spock moment. I can only imagine the kind of hell Bones put Spock through following Amanda’s admission about I-Chaya. “Journey to Babel” was an absolute gift.

Made direct eye contact with a hummingbird and the sun caught his ruby-colored throat so strongly that I had to squint as he fluttered and glowed. Never kill yourself

'you are not immune to propaganda' is true but sometimes the way people deploy this particular soundbite reveals a complete unwillingness to attribute any agency or ideology to people who espouse some pretty heinous bigotry.
like there was a post going around recently talking about people whose parents became increasingly radicalized by fox news and it had one of those tumblr style comments on it along the lines of "REMEMBER! THIS COULD BE YOU! You are not immune to propaganda either. STAY VIGILANT" and the implication here is always that right wing radicalization is something that somehow happens to otherwise pleasant people without their consent or knowledge. But perhaps some of you guys just need to grapple with the fact that your parents might be more bigoted and reactionary than you want to believe.
nobody is immune to bad information ecosystems or groupthink or poor science or anything else that makes radicalization possible, but i do think the idea that anyone is just a bad news pipeline away from supporting white supremacy does a lot to let white supremacists off the hook. it's the same kind of line of thought that gets people to talk about how bad things in fiction shouldn't be 'romanticized'. its a kind of worldview that operates under the implicit belief that a human being is a vessel being uncritically filled with whatever you pour into it and does nothing to grapple with what the actual appeal of these far right talking points is to the sort of otherwise ""normal"" seeming people that can be sold on them.

Is it possible to “beat” mental illness? Or does it depend on type/circumstance?
“Beating” mental illness is actually the norm, not the exception. Most people who have a major depressive episode never have another one. 80% of people who survive their first suicide attempt never make a second attempt. 93% of Borderline Personality Disorder patients achieve remission. Up to 74% of people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder achieve significant clinical improvement in their symptoms, and 20% achieve full remission. Half of Generalized Anxiety Disorder patients achieve remission after the acute phase of treatment. Even disorders with relatively low rates of remission - bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoid personality disorder - generally become milder and easier to manage as you age. Psychiatric symptoms tend to peak in your 20s and generally drop off as you get older, especially if you seek treatment.
This is why the narratives we use to talk about mental illness matter so much. Right now, the dominant narrative is that mental illness is “an imbalance in the brain” and that it’s largely something that people are born with. There are upsides and downsides to this. The upside is that it promotes the idea that mental illness is not the ill person’s fault, and it helps us understand that mental illness can impact anyone, regardless of their life circumstances. The downside, however, is that it’s sort of given us this idea that mental illness is inborn and unchangeable. People have taken on the idea that “that’s just how my brain is”, when the reality is that, for most people, mental illness is less of a stable trait for them, and more of just a shitty thing that they are going through for a little while. The idea that mental illness is just “in your brain” also erases the very real connection between your life circumstances and your mental health - while it’s very true that a wealthy person in a happy marriage can become depressed, it’s also very true that living in poor conditions and being in an abusive marriage can be the cause of depression, and that improving your life circumstances can lessen or eliminate mental health conditions.
If you have a mental health condition, it’s very important that you not resign yourself to the idea that you’re going to be like this forever. Chances are, you won’t. Even if you have a mental health condition that is associated with low rates of remission, it is possible to make leaps and bounds in your functioning, and to get to a point where managing your condition becomes second nature to you. Our understanding of mental illness is improving every year, and new therapies and treatments are becoming available all the time. If you seek treatment and do your best to manage your condition, you have every reason to believe that you will make huge improvements.
Hope this answers your question!
