People forget some abuse isn't physical

People forget that awareness is critical

People forget what we hide on our digitals."

[its-just-me5]

I just don't do people.

Either it's the case of "they're good for me, I ain't good for them" (from the song "How I feel" -GeorgiouM.) or it's the other way around - so I'm good for them, they're destroying me.

So really don't see a point in trying to make or having friends cause I'm just not compatible with people. So you know... really what's the point?!

And she always trys to smile even when she wants to cry…

Mental health mental health she cant do this by herself

Shes not rude shes not well shes just frightend to get help

So she keeps it to herself and she smile to the world

she’s the type of girl that forgets about herself

Star Trek Captains, A Review and Categorization

Star Trek is a show about a Neo-military organization that has rank structures, ships, and fights wars, so naturally there's plenty of captains to talk about, but for this post I'll be highlighting specifically the main cast captains, in something resembling chronological order. (But, I mean, this is Star Trek, so even that's kinda up in the air)

Captain Archer

That Guy who had to hand crank the warp engine up-hill both ways in the blinding ion storm. We don't need no stinkin' Prime Directive! Remember The Alamo Pearl Harbor 9/11 Florida! But...uh, maybe don't be dicks about it, not everyone who looks like the ones responsible for that thing we're never going to forget actually wants us dead. Got transformed into an alien, got possessed by another alien, slept with a couple more. Never got pregnant, though (that was his chief engineer)

Scorecard

Ships commanded: 1

Wars started: 0

Wars ended: 3

Times on screen naked: 1

Midlife crisis? What midlife crisis? Everything's fiiiiine. Now eat something, it'll make you feel better. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Number One, don't tell me I can't adopt more kids, I don't care that they're from the future they're mine now. Besides, we've already got a whole ship-full, what's two more?

Captain Burnham

Cosplays as a Vulcan 'cause she's jealous of her adoptive brother. Accurately called an audience-stand-in-self-insert-mary-sue (shut up, Star Trek fandom invented the Mary Sue, it was a term coined by women fans, so shut up!), but by season 2 she actually gets interesting.

You'd never know it but he used to be That Guy in college who got, like, ALL the girls and is going to be the Hot Grampa that you don't know how he has that much game, but he got it.

Scorecard

Captain Badass Sisko

The Cool Dad with baggage. He's got game, but he's got priorities as well, and DON'T mess with his son or you won't even exist anymore to regret it. BLM before it was cool. Led a civil rights riot two centuries before he was born. Space Jesus who can make the best jambalaya you've ever had. Fought and won a war, punched a god, then became one.

Civilizations saved: 4

Native Cultures Treated With the Respect They Deserve: Many

Times He Bent the Rules so his CMO could get some nookie from a Cardasian spy plain, simple tailor: The counter broke

Category: BAMF

Captain Janeway

THE single most decorated captain in Starfleet history. Successfully dropped the hammer on dozens of petty tyrants, oppressive regimes, roaming mass murderers, and the Borg. What Prime Directive? Your Mom. Also, probably slept with your mom, that's how much she is the Domme-est of Dommes. She told the Borg to use the safe word...and they DID!

Scorecard

Borg Daughters: 1

Times she told the Borg to step off: 3 (or 4...or 5? Honestly, with the time travel shenanigans it's hard to know for sure)

Nazis she's personally shot: 1

Category: Mistress, but it's "Ma'am" to you

Captain Freeman

She's angry AND disappointed! She's just as good as all the other captains in the fleet, and the good ones know it, but all the rest? They see "cali class" and assume all they're good for is the jobs nobody else wants. But jokes on them, because thanks to that attitude her crew are the flippin' Jacks and Jills of all trades and are more capable of fixing AND fucking AND "fucking" shit up than damn near anyone else!

Scorecard

Times the ship has nearly been destroyed but she and her crew got through it: ...uh...how many episodes are there? And then there's the times that get casual mentions that we never get the details on!

Daughters who should probably be captains now if they were at least a LITTLE more respectful and didn't actively try to piss off Admirals: 1

Times the Cerritos has had to be rebuilt to the point it might as well be called "The Ship of Cerritos Problem": At least 4

Category: Your mom...get back here, I'M NOT DONE TALKING TO YOU!

Captain R'El

Cinnamon Roll, just let m'boy into Starfleet! He just wants a home and a family! I'd like to see full-grown captains who can keep up with half of what this Best Boy is capable of!

Scorecard

Number of Janeways he impressed the socks off of: 2

Quality of his Janeway impression: Bad

Number of Ferengi he out-Ferengi'd: 1

Nazis punched: Give him time...

Category: Teenage Boy Who's NOT GOING THROUGH A PHASE, MOM!

Should I do Captains Shaw and Seven? How about Alternate Timeline Tripp or Future Chakotay? (Going too far down that rabbit hole will eventually lead to Imperial Kirk and Captain Spock from the movies.) Let me know in the comments.

A Whovian Watches Star Trek for the First Time: Part 116 - Tilly in the Network

Star Trek: Discovery - Season 2 Episode 5 - Saints of Imperfection

This episode picks up exactly where engineering left off, with May pulling Sylvia Tilly into the Spore Network, and Michael is kinda doing this thing of burying herself into her work to distract from her sadness about the situation. It's very Vulcan of her, and I can't wait to see how it tears her up.

Meanwhile, Discovery has come across Spock's shuttle, however Spock isn't responding, and Discovery are left with no choice but to open fire before the shuttle can enter a nebula through which Discovery can't follow. They successfully immobilise the SHuttle, and bring it aboard, but to everyone's surprise, Spock isn't on Board: Georgiou is.

Now, last season I didn't like a lot of what they did with Georgiou after leaving her universe, they were a few interesting moments towards the end, but I didn't like that she her comeuppance so bringing her into the main universe in the end kinda felt unjustified. I'm still holding out for some villainous downfall this season, and here specifically, putting her right next to Pike who has built up as very much archetype of the paragon Starfleet Captain, when she is very much the prime example of what I imagine most Terran Captains are like (Granted, my sample size is very limited for them), should be a really interesting point of contrast.

Also the music that plays when she enters, is just perfect. I don't feel like I highlight soundtracks enough on these, but I love Evil Georgiou's theme.

Georgiou is still pretending to be our Universe's Georgiou, but Pike apparently has history with her. Georgiou's current mission for Section 31 is to hunt down Spock. Unfortunately Section 31 ties Pike's hands, and Georgiou is allowed to go free.

Last time Section 31 showed up, a few episodes ago, a couple of you pointed out to me they're they shadowy Group Enterprise too, I don't they were given a name back there, but if this is the same group, they seem be at least slightly more publicly known by know, both Michael and Pike recognise the Section 31 Badge that Georgiou has, whereas in Enterprise they seemed to exist entirely outside of Starfleet's knowledge minus a few people. I kinda wanna know what caused that shift.

The Engineering team manage to confirm that Tilly isn't and indeed is in the Spore Network. Sylvia is rightfully pissed at May for bringing her here, however she is willing to listen to her out. Unfortunately she wants her to kill some sort of creature that entered the Spore Network when Discovery started making it's jumps, and is currently destroying the world of the Network.

Meanwhile on Discovery, as Georgiou leaves, Section 31 drops off an official Liaison, in the form of Ash Tyler. Pike confronts Michael about how different Georgiou is acting from how he remembers her, and that conversation gets put off, Michael and Ash have a small catch up, but nothing really happens immediately and Ash leaves to report to the Bridge.

Paul's plan to rescue Tilly is to jump Discovery into the network, essentially use the ship as a gateway between the real world world and mushroom world. There are a few risks involved, it's been previously established that the mycelium in the network eat normal matter, so the crew would only have an hour to find and extract Sylvia, and there is a risk crew members could just end up like the crew of the Glen if they're in the wrong place when the jump happens.

Pike approves of the Plan, and he gives a really good No Man Left Behind speech, and everyone gets ready to go, and the side of the ship sinks into the network, and Paul and Michael get to searching. Sylvia and May board the Discovery too, although she takes a path to the Armoury to deal with the creature, although they quickly meet up, and Tilly explains the situation

I love that the Monster remains completely unseen until just now, when we find out he is Hugh Culbur, somehow corrupted by the something. Which obviously leaves Paul in a state of conflict. He thought he lost his partner, and he's been grieving really hard since midway through last season, and now he has a chance to save him, but May is still desperate to get Sylvia and by extension the others to kill him. Honestly I was expecting the monster somehow be related to the Tartigrade, so the idea that he's Hugh was a shock, and a twist that I love, even if it's undoing the most impactful death of Season 1.

Meanwhile on the bridge, things are going bad, the Mycelium are still eating away at the Hull, and the Bridge is Starting to fall into the Network, meaning the bridge crew have less space to work. Tyler however calls in some assistance from Section 31, with hidden communicator. A section 31 ship, apparently capable of disguising itself as an asteroid appears out of nowhere, and starts physically towing Discovery out of the Network's space

This little sequence with Section 31 is beautiful, it really showcases how much further ahead they are than everyone else tech-wise.

Meanwhile, Paul trying to convince Hugh that he's real is heartbreaking, he pulls through, and Tilly convinces May to stand down. They rush back to the cube and... Heartbreakingly Hugh is unable to crossover. This scene breaks my heart. Paul had so so much hope, and it just got ripped away from him, and AAAA! I am crying. Fortunately, Sylvia manages to think of a plan to use the Cocoon that dragged her in to create a new body for Hugh on the other side. With that, Paul completes the jump out of the Network, and everything is calm. The team spend time watching the cocoon, waiting, until May fufills her side of the promise, and Hugh is saved.

After this Mission, Pike and the Section 31 leader, Leland have a conversation with the Admiral. Who, one forces them to put their differences aside and work together, and two gives us new information about the Signals. The sites with the Signals have something called Tachyon Radiation, which I'm assuming is the Star Trek equivalent of Artron energy because Leland immediately connects it's presence to Time Travel, although Pike also says could indicate a number of other things, namely Cloaking Devices and Transporters. A Mystery to think about, I can think multiple ways all three of these could be involved with whatever the Red Angels are, Spock is still the best lead.

This episode was a fun conclusion to the May and Tilly Arc, I had fun with it, the rescue mission itself was great, and seeing Section 31 in Action. I still have enough to go on to narrow down my theory on the Red Angels are, and the end of this one kinda widened up the possibilities to it could be anything now. This episode was fun!

Eurovision 2003 - Number 19 - Marian Georgiou - "Can’t Escape – Come Back"

Marian Georgiou has been in the Greek language national final scene for a few years. Alternating between Cyprus and Greece depending which country has been relegated and which has been in the contest. She's not been hugely successful. Her best result came in Cyprus in 2000, when she finished fourth. In Greece, she's never qualified for the final.

Perhaps unwisely, she teamed up with song-writer Konstantinos Tseleste, who was behind her 2002 failure. He came up with Can't Escape - Come Back. Let's start with the staging - I can't remember if this is the first time I've seen bare-chested male dancers. It's certainly the first time I've seen them swinging ropes. Together with Marian's red PVC ensemble and the title, it's a kink-fest.

The song itself is a bop. The sound-quality is lacking, but Marian shimmies seductively at the centre of things while Middle Eastern motifs and drums suggest an stereotypical exoticality. Marian may be lacking some energy, but nevertheless all the suggestive bells and whistles are there and in place.

The audience of Ellinikós Telikós 2003 hosted at Ciné Keramikos Nightclub in Athens seem underwhelmed at the end. The jury and the televote agreed. They placed her 10th and last of the songs competing. There was also an SMS vote this year, but they still only place Marian 9th. Overall, last place.

I'm not sure what was going on here. I don't think it's the sound as that was the same for all the competitors. It could be the over sexiness, it could be the musical hints at Turkishness, it might be Marian's inert presence at the heart of things. Maybe there was something else going on - Marian does seem very keen to leave the stage. Whatever it was that yielded such poor results, it was another flop.

Yet this is exactly the direction that Eurovision was going in. The song is fun, sexy and has huge potential for a bigger stage (and better microphones). I really like it.

Marian herself did have one more go at a national final in Cyprus in 2009, but again without success. What was far more successful was her single Ta Rialia which came out in 2007 and was a big hit in Greece and across Europe more widely. Although it's her only single listed on either Discogs or last.fm, her YouTube channel shows lots of releases all the way up to last year.

[its-just-me5]

She's the type of girl that will give you the whole world but her mental health makes her wanna die sometimes.

She's the type of girl that forgets about herself and she always tries to smile even if she wants to cry...will never ask for help but she'll always give advice if you're talking suicide...

Steven Georgiou/Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam Turns 75

Whatever you call him, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens is 75 today.

Born Steven Georgiou on July 21, 1948, Stevens produced a stellar run of acoustic-rooted rock in the 1970s before converting to Islam, abandoning his music career and changing his name from Cat Stevens to Yusuf Islam.

He made a few spiritual records as Islam and mostly devoted himself to other activities before returning to secular music as Yusuf and then Yusuf/Cat Stevens in the early 21st century.

While a guy known alternatively as Steven Georgiou / Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam / Yusuf / Yusuf/Cat Stevens may be mistaken for a guy with an identity crisis, this cat knows exactly who he is. And when one listens back to songs like “Father and Son,” “Moonshadow” and “Peace Train” among others, it becomes clear he knew what he was seeking all along.

He just needed to name it.

And himself.

She takes a lot of selfies but she doesnt know herself

And shes very down to earth but she wants to leave the world

She feels like life is over cos shes always overwhelmed

She reminds me of myself and i just hope she gets help

People see her scars but they dont understand the battles

Just like people see the stars

You dont know how far they travelled

From a kid she was an adult, she had to learn to battle

Shes been hiding in the shadows

Of the trauma she cant handle

Smiles on all her socials but crys behind her photos

If only you could see the things that she doesnt post

But looks a Little closer you can see that she is broken

Always posting like shes coping but inside shes dying slowly

Cos she hates the way she feels

Overthinking makes her ill

Now shes drinking every weekend cos shes trying to numb the feels

But nothing seems to work, nothing

Numbs the hurt cos when she wakes up in the monring every day shes still her

(Wednesday vibes pt.57/2)
