Welcome to the ultimate battle of fashion madness! Julian Bashir's March Fashion Madness!

Every day for the next few weeks, I'll post a poll featuring two of Julian Bashir's outfits from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. We'll widdle down the outfits until we pick the best thing Dr. Julian Bashir ever wore! Which will it be? The Risa outfit, the racquetball suit? The tuxedo? One of his uniforms? I have randomly paired the outfits, pulling names out of a bag, and set up a bracket.

So starting tomorrow, get ready to battle for your favorite outfits! 24 outfits, two polls a day. May the best outfit win!

I love Tumblr sometimes, like I can tell you all I wanna fuck a scaly lizard alien man called Garak and you all will go

"yeah you know what you're right, me too"

A Truly great moment in history

The best to ever wear this uniform

Bergeron is obviously one of the best centers and best two way player of all time but he’s also one of the best leaders of all time. Obviously anyone who’s watched bruins hockey or really any hockey the past two decades know this but I hope over time that stays recognized. There are unfortunately not a lot of men’s hockey players I can confidently say have stood up for what’s right pretty consistently and set great examples in their locker room but Bergeron is one.

In 1960, SAG and WGA struck to force management to adapt to the new technology of television. Without that strike and the agreement it birthed, residual use payments would not exist.

My parents stole nearly all of my salary from my entire childhood. My Star Trek residuals were all I had, and they kept me afloat for two decades while I rebuilt my life. I have healthcare and a pension because of my union. The AMPTP billionaires want to take all that security away so they can give CEOs even more grotesque wealth at the expense of the people who make our industry run.

To give some sense of what is at stake: There are actors who star in massively successful, profitable, critically acclaimed shows that are all on streaming services. You see them all the time. They are famous, A-list celebrities. Nearly all of those actors don't earn enough to qualify for health insurance, because the studios forced them to accept a buyout for all their residuals (decade of reuse, at the least) that is less than I earned for one week on TNG. And I was the lowest paid cast member in 1988. They want to do this while studio profits and CEO compensation are at historic highs.

I mean, if not now, when? And I haven't even touched on AI and working conditions.

We must fight for the future of our industry in the face of changing technology, the same way our elders did in 1960. So today, my Spacemom and I went to the place where it started for us, way back when, to do just that.

I see all your support. It means so much. Thank you.

Remember when Bergeron asked tage Thompson during a game how his wife was doing after her cancer treatment or how he called Chris Wagner once a month to see how he was doing in providence or how he connected gemel smith with mental health treatment when smith was in providence or how he spoke out in support of a transgender rights bill back in 2016 or

(Why can’t we be forever young)

I hate age.  It’s just a number.  But I mean the aging process.  My grandmother is 100 years old.  She fought in World War II in London.  My Grandfather is 95.  He also fought in World War II in Burma.  

They are moving into an assisted living facility this Wednesday.  They have lived independently until now, though my grandmother is so frail and riddled with dementia that she’s had 24 hour aides for a few years now.  My grandfather is falling more and getting confused.  I don’t know what my Dad means by “Confused”... does he mean he’s also falling victim to dementia?  

I call my grandmother “Nanny”.  She was in the military and worked for the military her whole life, so she was very strict growing up.  I was such a free spirit we clashed sometimes.  But when I was in my late 20′s we became so close, remaining close until the dementia took her from me about 4 years ago.  Now she just sings incoherently or yells.  I imagine it’s pretty scary to not know who anyone is or where you are.  

I call my Grandfather “Grumpy” because he was too young to be called Grandpa when my sister was born, and it stuck.  He served in the army all his life, though he switched to Canadian armed services when they moved to Canada.  He was a Major.  And now he falls a lot and is confused.  

I want to talk to my dad about them but he’s in a lot of pain from seeing them so old and feeble like this.  He’s the one moving them in on Wednesday.  He gave me their address, it’s somewhere in Brighton and I live an hour away, with no car.  Maybe my sister can take me.  I’d like to see them again before the end.  Even if they don’t know who I am.  Grumpy should recognize my sister, she speaks to him more often.  He doesn’t like me as much because we don’t have much in common.  I wear my heart on my sleeve and he has his feelings hidden.  But we always tell me we love each other, and we always hug goodbye.  

I’m always afraid it’s going to be the last time...

My hair is white. I got asked if I wanted a shingles shot. I was like, I don't think I'm old enough. They were like, how old are you? "42". Nope, nevermind. (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CavFlk2lrfI/?utm_medium=tumblr

"COVID Crown" My COVID-19 artwork that I did while having my second bout of the virus a few weeks ago. My lungs are still not back to normal, and my asthma hates me, so that's part of the sketch. Also, the red stuff on my head is supposed to be a drawing of the COVID virus. I had thought it was self explanatory but too many people have asked me what they are so I'm telling you up front, I am one with the virus... #covid_19 #covidart #covid #covidvirus #artbyjstorer #ᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴇssᴀᴠᴇʟɪᴠᴇs (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaY6l9rMy73/?utm_medium=tumblr
