Love at First Spite

Hello everyone! Our editors are hard at work getting the Shore Leave zine ready to go, and we should hopefully be able to reveal more soon~!

In the meantime however, we wanted to do some polls to determine how to proceed going forward. This will be our first one, regarding the submission period. All you have to do is click the link, and you will find the instructions. This will help us determine a general timeframe for when people can best work on submissions and the best time to schedule the zine and submission periods. We hope that you will be able to fill this out, and thank you all so much for all your patience and hard work. We truly appreciate it.

We will be releasing new polls weekly, so stay tuned~

This is just to say the Bell Riots don't take place on August 30th. That's the day Sisko, Dax, and Bashir will have been being arrived* in San Francisco. The Riots will be September 1-3, 2024.

That said, instead of rioting, today I honored Gabriel Bell's heroics with a donation to a couple of charities that help the unhoused and the hungry. I've donated to the Hollywood Food Coalition and the SF Marin Food Bank:

Hollywood Food Coalition Building Community since 1987 - Hollywood Food Coalition (hofoco.org)

San Francisco-Marin Food Bank - Every $1 Donated Provides 2 Meals‎ (sfmfoodbank.org)

I made the donations "In Memory of Gabriel Bell." Please consider honoring Gabriel Bell with donations of your own to these or other organizations that helped the unhoused.

Thank you! Stay safe out there. Live long and prosper!

You’re so strictly business But command’s an art Did they send me logic When I asked for heart?

You sit coldly calculating, but I’ll keep on baiting ’til I’m through Somehow I’ll Make a man Out of you

Tranquil on the outside, but on fire within Get a bit off-centre, and we can begin A green-blooded, cold computer, plus You’re abacus-sed stubborn too Somehow I’ll find the man Inside you

You know why you’re not scared of death? It’s because you’re scared of living! Insecure, that’s sure, but lean on me and Jim One mis’rable, ecstatic breath Trust is earned when you’re forgiving Space will not embrace you, now it’s sink or swim!

(Be a man) To make good choices you need compassion (Be a man) Just spend one moment inside my brain Those inner voices cry out for passion Not ration, this clashin’s driving me insane!

Hear me out, hobgoblin! Feeling helps you thrive You might say it’s maudlin: it means you’re alive! You’re not suited for The Kolinahr You packed up, came back, it’s true That was so very human of you

Be a man Emotion burns like a plak tow fire You Vul-can Write the word love back inside your book Be a man You know Amanda’s half can desire Inspire you to give hope a second look

DeForest Kelley (Star Trek)- This *is* the fuck that old man website, yes? Sure he might have been a bit older by the time he was Dr McCoy, but surely that just makes him all the hotter, right?

Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, Ladyhawke)- sure he's buff and conventionally attractive, but what really makes him hot is his intelligence
