Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.

okay yeah you know what I’ll use the weird but perhaps predictable amount of fandom crossover between “actual play d&d shows” and “mcyt” to my advantage: I have a dropout subscription, mostly for the various improv shows (obviously game changers, make some noise, I like very important people, sometimes I like breaking news, etc). the other marquee series on here of course is dimension 20. two questions: I know the current season is a sequel; do I have to have watched the original fantasy high to jump in or will it be good without that? also, is there a specific d20 season you recommend as a first one? I may consider giving this thing a shot,

Fuck it. I have a headcanon that post-Extra Game, Akashi begins to feel more acutely aware that he's the only member of the Teiko gang who has not been given a nickname by Momoi, and so one day during a Teiko gang hangout (which has become more of a regular occurrence), he subtly brings up that he's more than okay with Momoi giving him one and that she doesn't have to be so formal with him.

She goes back and forth with a few nickname candidates but it's pretty hard to come up with a nickname using his family name (Aka-chan doesn't work for reasons I'm sure most of you understand by now), so Akashi tells her that she's more than welcome to use his given name if it made things easier. Momoi is slightly taken aback but complies with his request. Thus, from then on, she refers to Akashi as "Sei-kun", and Akashi couldn't be happier.

i'm sure i am not the only one who is very concerned about the ~4 hours between when the midjourney change was made, and I knew to go opt out of it, so; glaze does not need to be on all your works to be effective. in the same way that one artist glazing all their works will ruin a broad, multi-artist dataset, glazing your works moving forward will ruin any dataset trained on you. if out of 100 comics I've posted, 10 are glazed, a dataset trained on all of my comics will not be able to make anything similar to my style. anyways. go download glaze.

“I heard a lot of that stuff [‘I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise’, Paul Whiteman Orchestra, ‘Chicago’] and I think that filled my computer with data. So that when I came to print out later, it was all in there. One of the great things about me and John was we both had that. We talked about some of the songs we liked, and he liked ‘Little White Lies’ … The night that you told me! Those little white lies! I knew that, so it gave us little bonds. That was his print-out. So when we came to write together we had similar print-outs, similar data from our upbringing. People tended to think of John as just a rebel or something; there was this whole other side to him that I liked, and that allowed me to get on better with him than if he’d just been a rebel.”

— Paul McCartney, interviewed in 2019.

Im so normal about star trek. If you told me literally 6 months ago i would be going insane over weird little aliens like this. I would not have believed you. And this is coming from someone who loves doctor who. Star Trek has gone so deep in my fucking brain in such little time and i need more immediately (i have not finished a single show yet) BUT GOD PLEASE KEEP IT COMING

MRA's love to claim that if women were in charge the world would go to shit bc we'd "get our periods and declare war," which is obviously a batshit insane, uneducated, and maximally misogynistic belief to begin with. I shouldn't have to tell you that our periods don't actually make us emotionally unstable, that in fact fewer than 20% of college-age women (women who aren't even old enough for the prefrontal cortex to finish developing, and thus are far from old enough to, for example, be eligible to run for US president) even report "severe" psychological symptoms of PMS - and this includes symptoms like depressed mood and anxiety.

in fact, PMS isn't even something all women experience. and of those who do, there's a huge variety of ways it can present. most symptoms women associate with PMS are not emotional: bloating, body soreness, headaches, oversleeping, food cravings, nausea/vomiting, hot flashes, breast tenderness....

from the article linked above: "Definitions of PMS and diagnostic criteria to identify cases have varied substantially over the years and across studies, in large part due to the heterogeneity of women’s menstrual symptom experience. Over 150 symptoms have been associated with PMS."

overwhelmingly, research shows that the effect of PMS on women in the workplace is the same as that of any other medical problem/illness: some people miss some work if it's severe enough. which, considering that symptoms can often include various types of pain that can be quite severe, as well as common illness symptoms like nausea and vomiting, it makes perfect sense that some women would need to take a day off or leave a bit early at times. what the research does NOT say is that PMS causes women to behave in irrational ways that negatively impact the quality of her work.

so let's be truthful. why would female leaders mean more war when women and girls are so overwhelmingly and horrifically sexually victimized as a result?

if most women don't even experience severe mood symptoms with PMS, and having mood symptoms doesn't mean one is unable to control her actions/behaviors (I know this concept of self-control is foreign to most men, but we're pretty good at it!), and there's absolutely zero evidence to suggest that severe PMS mood symptoms would or could ever lead to declaring war, and women old enough to hold office in most countries have many years of experience managing their pre/peri-menstrual symptoms (if they even have any), and most world leaders are past the age women stop even having periods at all, and we see that women in other leadership positions are absolutely crushing it all over the world, and there IS significant evidence showing that women in numerous fields actually outperform male peers (despite feeling significantly less respected in higher-rank positions than males feel, as well as feeling more discouraged and frustrated) and are more emotionally intelligent, there IS evidence that women are less influenced by and better at regulating anger in the workplace, and there IS indisputable evidence that men are more violent than women in general, regardless of the reason, and there IS indisputable evidence that women and girls suffer mass victimization by men during wartime... then maybe, just maybe, women are actually less likely than men to start wars. but there's only one way to find out for sure 😏

consuming only canon tng content (at least up to s4, where I’m currently at) will have you feeling like the statement: “Data has emotions and other human traits he just expresses them in a unique way” is a controversial take it’s wild
