full time problem

Love in Star Trek when there’s a character who’s regularly anywhere but their station. In TNG it’s Data being in engineering (he wants to see Geordi), in ds9 it’s Julian being in ops (he wants to gossip), and in TOS it’s Bones being on the bridge (he wants to instigate and be close to the drama).

having many trinkets and books is so cool and fun until you realize you have to dust them

Anyone know ways to improve my life that don't require my active participation?

"DNF" is such a wild concept, it's ons of those things that make me feel like im an outlier in terms of how i approach things. like i dont fuck *any* of the books i read. and ive never wanted to. but apparently some people fuck so many books that it's easier to list the ones they havent fucked!

a former coworker is a kind of dead wife

i feel like when people complain about a lack of female + lesbian representation (for lack of a better word) in fanfiction, the reaction of “just go write it yourself then” pretty severely misinterprets the original argument. people who point out the gender disparity in fan content aren’t usually complaining about the lack of “food,” they’re making a point about the subconscious biases and systemic injustices that lead large amounts of people to be overall disinterested in the stories of women, despite many of them being women themselves. yeah no one can force you to write anything but m/m, and they shouldn’t, but have you seriously never stopped to question why you and the majority of most fandoms write it almost exclusively? why source material with an equal division of gender, or even a bias towards women, will still somehow end up with a fandom dominated by m/m pairings? you seriously think that’s 100% fine and normal and has nothing to do with internalised misogyny?

Does anyone know how to get past the hatred

we don't hate J.J. Abrams enough

I think lower decks should do another time travel episode to the events to trouble with tribbles/trials and tribble-ations so this time they're running around trying not to fuck up two timelines and having heart eyes at twice as many crew members
