This is very urgent so please share however you can. Islam, the mom of this family in Gaza, is eight months pregnant but has a fractured pelvis and therefore cannot give birth safely. She needs a C-section, but the conditions to perform those no longer exist in Gaza. For months women in Gaza have been getting C-sections without anaesthesia. We need to get her out before she goes into labor, which could happen at any time now. We're halfway through the goal and even if everyone just chipped in 5-10 dollars it adds up quick!

I started watching Star Trek.

I want you all to know that my 13 year old brother keeps making sigma type iMovie edits of various ds9 characters and it makes me fucking hysterical. He doesn’t even watch DS9

[starcrossinglovers]

Yes

Because no one expected DS9 to be so strategically important as it turned out to be, the original senior staff is laughably unqualified. Like, arguably the most qualified people are Dax and Obrien, as they have the most years of experience, even then Jadzia was freshly joined and Obrien is a non-com, technically not even an officer. Sisko wasn’t even a ranking captain, Kira had no formal training whatsoever, and Bashir literally graduated like two weeks ago.

tbh ziyal was way better as a confused rabid teenager who would have been 10000% ready to be the “scary one” in jake & nog’s teen adventures , than the pure angel cream puff version. sorry. it’s a character balance thing.

Recently I decided to rewatch some of my favourite Deep Space Nine episodes and it only made me want to rewatch the whole series, which is what I’m doing now. I like so many of the characters in the show but these two are my favourites.

(I was actually trying to decide between rewatching Star Trek and replaying Mass Effect, so apparently I’m in a bit of a Sci-Fi mood at the moment)

the whole room is pretending not to be watching jadzia and lenara but julian is sat there, sipping champagne, not even feigning disinterest, legs crossed like the nosy beanpole he is

i believeeee that kor addresses jadzia dax as “comrades,” once when he’s speaking to her in blood oath. it could have been a slip of the tongue on the actor’s part, but i’d like to believe (like all the little idiosyncrasies i see in trek and decide are deliberate and meaningful) that it speaks to how kor/the klingon empire as a whole views the trill. we see that kor has little trouble adjusting to the curzon-to-jadzia change, owing perhaps to the longevity of klingons, who become accustomed to old friends of other species being replaced with new ones, and in this one, wonderful instance, that friend has only changed bodies. it could be that kor is speaking to jadzia, who is in front of him, and, in addition to her, he is speaking to curzon dax (as, while jadzia is the one he’s sitting with, curzon is the one who shares the memories of kor’s youth). it could also be that kor is addressing jadzia and the dax symbiont itself, which i think would be a terribly interesting thing to do. 

i’ve heard a few ideas, here and there, about “figuring out” trill pronouns (ezri, after being joined, sometimes mistakes herself for a ‘man’ (shorthand for ‘a type of trill person different than ezri’, man, being a human term, isn’t exactly applicable, but for the sake of simplicity…), or speaks about the experience of a previous host as something that happened to herself), but all i can really recall reading about had more to do with individual host identities, such as “how does the experience of life as a ‘man’ now influence how jadzia (a ‘woman’) lives?”. what i think would really be marvelous is putting stock into plurality when thinking about how joined trills must refer to themselves. if, everytime jadzia spoke, she said “we checked the sensor logs”, or “when we married worf,” (referring to herself–jadzia–and the dax host). further–it would be interesting to see how different species classified jadzia. perhaps odo (familiar with the great link, and the joining of one body into a unified collective) and telepathic or noncorporeal species such as the prophets, who have a sense of self not directly linked to physical bodies, may refer to jadzia as ‘they’ not as a neutral pronoun, but as a reflection of two beings, while humans/bajorans may be more inclined to refer to jadzia as ‘she’ as a reflection of having one mind/pah in one body. and when, then, do these two things meet! do trills refer to pregnant people as “they” meaning plural, but referring to the actions of one person? (for example–when kira is carrying kirayoshi, does jadzia reply “they (kira) are in the security office” when sisko asks why kira isn’t at her station?)
