"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine functions as a refutation of the utopianism of The Next Generation because it highlights the moral compromises captains need to make to do their jobs" no, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine functions as a refutation of the utopianism of The Next Generation because every time some existentially horrifying shit happens to Miles O'Brien he's still expected to show up for work the next day.

My family talks constantly about how messed up O'Brien's Starfleet career is. We see him getting therapy ONCE and he's just expected to otherwise deal. Someone provide justice for that man.

Im taking the coldest bath possible rn holy fuck it’s 86 degrees in my apartment.

God dammit I wish I had an air conditioner. I wish I had a job so I could earn enough money to buy us an air conditioner. I wish I didn’t get fired illegally after getting tricked into thinking I was going to have a guaranteed 40/hr week job with benefits and it was a job I’m GOOD AT I was a fast food manager and it’s not glamorous but god dammit I was good at it and I lost my health insurance which has led me to paying high out of pocket costs for my medications that I CANT go without or I’m miserable and can’t do anything. I was planning to do commissions this summer but I can’t think let alone draw in this fucking heat. I escaped the newest addition to Erin in the Morning’s “do not travel” list back in January by chance. I just was so lucky to meet someone so amazing that lived in a place that I really love being. But I’ve lost a lot of the support I have, I don’t even have all of my belongings like for Christs sake I miss my cats. I miss them so much I’ve tried not to think about them because I just know I’d cry but Jesus I miss my cats I want my belongings back I want my car running again I want a phone that isn’t broken like holy fuck I’m just so distraught I don’t normally post about my life but holy fucking shit I’m so beyond stressed out.

big fan of characters with abandonment + attachment issues so profound that they leave claw marks in everything they touch but would sooner gnaw off their own leg than admit they just want someone to stay for once. in a totally normal well adjusted and not at all projecting way of course.

Cab Calloway being used as a faceclaim/shield so that Vivziepop's racist ass could bastardize voodoo in peace...Gooseworx's racist ass using a Stevie Wonder song covered by a loli in her cartoon...white indie animators you have one last chance to not fuck up or else I'm blowing everything up

Their other brand is EARTHBOUND ORGANICS!!!

The backlash was a major lawsuit from 9 tribes alongside other lawsuits from advocacy groups like NDN Collective. You can support NDN Collective by donating to them here.

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

Carrie being skinny in every adaptation is like how Heathcliff is white in most of his. Directors somehow cut out the most important part of their characters, the reason why they have been subjected to such prejudice and why they are the way they are. Why THE BOOKS GO THE WAY THEY DO. Do you think Heathcliff would have been so outcasted and forbidden to be with Catherine if he was white? Do you think Carrie would have been relentlessly bullied and borderline tortured by her peers if she was skinny and pretty?

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

"why do men watch porn instead of just having sex with their girlfriends?" is already silly for numerous reasons, but seeing it being used as like. a feminist talking point is so crazy to me because like of the implication that being in a relationship means being available for sex all the time, which you know. doesn't feel great for women i think.
