So the writers sat down to work out the motivation of a complex nonhuman AI many thousands of years old, and they decided to treat her like the jealous secretary in a sexist Seventies film.
i like how vermont is currently experiencing a massive natural disaster and the first line out of some tourists mouths online is like "when can i visit? will this impact my trip?" like boo fucking hoo brenda we gotta take care of our own people right now maybe consider thinking about the well beings of locals for once.
Once again thinking about my oc who makes how to do videos that Vulcan kids like to watch, except this time I’m also thinking about “guest stars,” because you just know there’s going to be some things where you need an expert on it for
And originally I was just thinking about pleasant guest stars, and how the Human oc is unknowingly also teaching Vulcan kids how to handle their emotions because the Human is trying a lot of new things that actually scare them, or make them anxious, things like that, but they just calm themselves down on camera and continue doing them
But now I’m thinking about Jim Kirk, specifically aos Jim Kirk, guest starring before he ever became a captain, and it’s “how to ride a motorcycle,” and the whole time, this Human who is usually good at keeping a calm and pleasant disposition, just keeps turning to anxiously tell the camera “don’t do that” because Jim went straight to tricks and stuff that he shouldn’t be showing beginners
Jim Kirk is rewatching this episode as a captain, trying to avoid looking at Bones and Spock as they watch him put himself in danger without proper protective gear on
have you heard of or read the cooking with columbo book by jenny hammerton?

unfortunately i don't own it, i already have so many cookbooks, but i certainly wouldn't mind if it came into my possession. you can find the full list and more here.
"—For the last blasted fucking time, I'm a Fatui Harbinger! Not some little errand girl just playing around, and definitely not your errand girl either!"
Also, thanks and preemptive apologies to those reading my @staff rantings; this is in part cathartic because I don't get to yell here about my actual work's stupid corporate communications and strategies. :)
