here's everything i know and think about william shatner. bill is the worst, bill is amazing. he is supremely cunty. he can ride a horse at full gallop, he lived in a trailer park post-star trek, starred in the most unimaginably bad b-movies. he wears the shit out of a toupe, speaks his lines in iambic pentameter and stole wigs from sets. bill is capable of very sensitive insight, but far better enjoys being the bull in the china shop. he is a campy, sentimental, pulpy director when they let him have the camera. he loved leonard nimoy. in a single scene he can simultaneously be the best and worst actor in the room. he has starred in one of the only espranto films in existence. he has been feuding with george takei for over 50 years. he has a controversial twitter which apparently he doesn't run. he went to space and he hated it. he won't autograph shit unless you pay for it. he was greenpeace save-the-whales guy. bill recorded an entire spoken-word record wacked out of his mind on weed. he appears self-obsessed. bill is the most complicated man to ever exist. everyone hates him everyone loves him. i do not always understand william shatner and i do not always like him, but i treasure him.

so many great faces here!

amazing

Avery Brooks is incredible

the Neelix/Kes pic makes me uneasy. But I love Kate trying to make that 1990’s phone look sexy. And also RDM trying to steal a printer which is, like all printers, most likely a piece of junk.

not letting children have age-appropriate amounts of privacy and autonomy stunts development and damages mental health in measurable and consequential ways. it also creates a child-rearing culture where parents are not expected or equipped or supported to prepare children for autonomy of any kind, which is a major contributor to problems young people AND their parents are currently facing and how hard their lives have become. there are ways for children to have both adequate freedom and adequate safety and if i had a ten year old with a GPS locator and always-on listening device strapped to him 24/7 i would throw him out the front door with his bicycle, a battery pack and a machete every morning starting the first day of summer vacation. and then i would be arrested, but everyone at family court would get sick of my bullshit immediately

I love seeing kids in my neighbourhood biking to school or walking to the store, though I’m assuming they have less freedom than I did as a kid, which was still not a whole lot. On the other hand, my grandmother (born in the 1930’s) has an alarming number of stories about her childhood near-death experiences 😬. There’s probably a happy medium in there I guess, where kids can develop autonomy without being in danger.

love the reaction from that lady in purple next to Jake
