The B-plots of "The Galileo Seven" and "The Mark of Gideon" aren't identical, but I do think it's pretty funny that the former hinges on Kirk fighting with some asshole higher-up who won't let him save Spock et al., and the Spock-figuring-out-what's-happening B-plot of "The Mark of Gideon" involves him fighting with various assholes including Starfleet higher-ups who are trying to keep him from saving Kirk.

But for Kirk, "fighting" = well technically according to regulation 347843874 paragraph 24 line 1731 I temporarily retain the authority to exercise my own judgment as commanding officer. So I'm just going to use my extensive knowledge of regulations to ... keep repairs and scans going until time runs out. In the meanwhile, you're free to get the fuck off my bridge

(When time runs out, he does reluctantly obey his directives, for a certain value of "obey"—by commanding the crew to comply as slowly as possible.)

Meanwhile, Spock's reaction to tangling with obnoxious but not unreasonable higher-ups pretty much comes down to "Sir, for posterity, I'd like to register my considered opinion of this decision as fuck you, you fucking idiots" before fighting further obstacles. And by "fighting" I mean:

the definition of what is life-saving healthcare is the same across the board for absolutely everyone and what it means is a surgery that directly saves your life. it has never been defined as any and every kind of medical intervention that could potentially stop someone from harming themselves and it’s really not difficult to understand why this should be the case

I hope you don’t mind my adding an anon message to the no doubt prodigious amount in your inbox, but I think the reason you’ve gotten an influx of anons and readers since the Louis Byronic hero/masculine/vers kerfuffle is that many more people agree with you than they admit, but have become so afraid of harassment and backlash that they keep quiet on their blogs. I found your blog after that incident, I read your post and saw it wasn’t anything like what people said it was, and went on to read your other posts. It’s been a breath of fresh air honestly.

Oh, thank you, anon! This is such a bittersweet ask to get, because it's lovely to know that this blog feels like a breath of fresh air, and that my posts have resonated with people, but it really is sad to me that people have become so afraid of harassment and backlash in this fandom, and to know that my posts have been strawmanned like they have. I don't know, I said it recently, but in terms of the latter, all I can do is know what I mean, clarify where I can, and speak honestly, and ultimately know that the people who do that are saying more about themselves than they are about me, but at the same time, y'know - -

I don't think anyone loves being wilfully misinterpreted, and I obviously don't love being called some of the things I've been called, but at the end of the day, I try to approach things with patience and curiousity, which is all I think I can do, and I hope that comes through with people who follow along with all of this.

Congratulations on graduating! That must be an amazing feeling.

thank youuuu <3

technically i won't be graduating until the end of the year because i finished past the cut off date for my uni's mid-year graduation ceremonies, but i'm happy to have finished regardless.

it's been a really difficult and long process, and i had to delay finishing my degree by 2 years due to a long string of Life Events (Not Fun) that got in the way of me completing the last 2 courses i had left in my degree as of mid-2022, so i'm glad i finally managed to get to the end of a semester without some random bullshit stopping me for the first time in several years lmao.

i dropped out of high school after i got sick, and i thought i was gonna have to drop out of uni too, despite all the work i've put in to pull my life together. it really means a lot to me that i managed to make it through to the end this time, even though it was tough to keep my head above water sometimes.

US Immigration and Customs Laws encompass a complex framework governing the movement of people and goods across the United States' borders. These laws are designed to regulate immigration, prevent illegal entry, ensure national security, and facilitate lawful trade and travel. They cover a wide range of topics, including visa requirements, border security measures, customs duties, import/export regulations, and enforcement mechanisms. Compliance with these laws is crucial for maintaining legal status, preventing unauthorized entry, and upholding the nation's safety and security. Various government agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, oversee the enforcement and administration of these laws.
