Hey. Look at me. Please leave yourself a note somewhere you'll see it later that says "it is going to take years if not decades to get the United States government to the level of functionality it had in November of 2024." If we elect a democrat in 2028, we are not going to be up and running by 2032.

Please make sure you have a reminder in your phone reminding you to not look at 2028/32/36 Democratic candidates and say "why are they not promising/delivering Cool Shit?" because you are going to understand that to get Cool Shit we must have competent people running a decently funded government, and we are not going to have that.

We are not getting UBI. We are not getting single payer healthcare. We are not getting free college or free preschool. We are not redistributing wealth on a large scale. We are not getting free internet. We are not getting ranked choice voting.

If we are lucky, we are going to get an IRS that can collect taxes, qualified schoolteachers, research grants, Social Security, and a government that thinks maybe it should be a priority for people around the worlds to not have AIDS, malaria or TB.

Reasons why I shouldn't join starfleet

I'd pass the exams (I don't know what I'm doing)

Straight up would go to sickbay for a paper cut

I'd make it my duty to annoy the shit out of the captain (I'm getting sent to the brig 😭🙏)

My ass would walk past the main viewscreen when some bad guy is on it and probably make the situation worse 💀

I flirt too much

Literally can't pay attention for more then 5 minutes

I'm the kind of person who'd lay down in the middle of a shift an get pissed when someone trips over me 😭😭😭

I may or may not have tried to eat some of the weird things they find on different planets...

I'd try and trade my home for ownership of the ship

honestly of all the things jews are stereotyped for, i’m surprised our love of candles isn’t one of them

gul dukat's fetishization of bajoran women and constant sexual harassment of kira has to be one of the smartest and realest but also most disturbing plot elements in all of ds9

[worfsbarmitzvah]

I love Garak and Kira because their characters are like... Yeah, trauma doesn't make you a better person. Sometimes trauma just makes you a bitter, caustic individual filled with regret and self loathing. That doesn't make you any less worthy of care or healing or community. It's not the trauma that saves you, it's community and being given the love we were denied. Pain isn't virtue.

well, it's been a little while, but i am finally back with a new DS9 fic! i've been loving the work coming out of the @jewsinfandoms prompts for a while now, and wanted to take the chance to contribute something myself. the prompt space was just too perfect to pass up, so please enjoy קדוש בגן עדן, a fun lil fic about jewish life in deep space!

it's crazy that sexism can even affect animals. the way people assume all dogs are boys. the simultaneous way people will get genuinely really mad if you dare mistake their pretty princess for a boy despite the fact all german shepherds look the same. the refusal to buy pink toys and accessories for male pets. i recently met someone who insisted they never adopt girl cats because they're always meaner than boy cats. i feel like im losing my mind. they're literally cats.

[worfsbarmitzvah]

people love to imagine what they would have done in germany during WW2 and like fam i've seen how youve been acting towards jewish people the last couple years and. well.

I just finished my fast for Tisha b'Av and I've seen a few posts going around trying to relate it to Gaza or whatever. Which is just, missing the point of it entirely. On Tisha b'Av we mourn the destruction of the temple, the centre of Jewish life in ancient Israel. To this day, the temple remains in ruins, and there's a mosque built on top of it.

Megillah Eicha tells of the anguish of the author as they watch their beloved Zion fall to ruin, their people slaughtered and expelled.

Tisha b'Av is not about Palestine. It is about Jews mourning their home, the land that has been colonised over and over, and yet people still want to deny them. Trying to make Tisha b'Av about Palestine is literally colonising a day for mourning the conquest and colonisation of Israel.

I'm so sad in such a strange way to hear about the Corporation for Public Broadcasting officially shutting down. It's a weird feeling. Most of it is the intellectual level of "oh this is SO fucking bad and terrifying that we'll no longer have federally supported public information channels anymore, it will ALL be through the private market, not to mention the stark reminder of the US government's continued descent into anti-intellectualism and fascism," all of which makes my stomach sink.

But on a smaller level it is the disappearance of something that was so ubiquitous to American childhood. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Americans can hear the exact intonation of this phrase in their head: "This program made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and by viewers like you. Thank you."

There is a lot more that could be said about the likely repercussions of this. In addition to being sad, I am also exceedingly furious. I wish despair upon all the Republicans who helped kill the CBP just because it took its mission seriously and refused to broadcast overt right-wing propaganda as news.
