KIRA: That's part of it. This is about the future of Bajor. I can't shake the feeling that giving Winn control of the government is a mistake and she should be stopped. ODO: Stopped from doing what? KIRA: I don't know. Maybe, maybe I'm afraid that if she's given power, she's never going to let go. ODO: Unfortunately that suspicion is not shared by the people of Bajor. They still admire her as the woman who made peace with Cardassia. KIRA: Bareil made peace with Cardassia. ODO: I know that, Major. But to the rest of Bajor, Winn is the real hero. In their eyes it took courage for her to conclude a treaty with a race that she herself had so bitterly condemned and fought against. KIRA: I don't care what her popular image is. She is no hero. The only thing that she cares about is her own power. Why can't people see that? We spent so many years fighting the Cardassians. We spent so much time hoping and praying for a Bajor that was free. Now that we won, how can people just hand their freedom over to someone like Winn? ODO: It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

Second shift management agrees that there's no reason to submit the request unless she isn't up and running again at the end of our shift. There's no rule saying we need to submit the request. Turning the machines off and on again is routine maintenance. The first shifters just hate the idea of even a non-functional machine being turned off and allowed the rest she needs.

also: the last option = you take NOTHING and just suffer

Miles, I promised I wouldn't say anything but it's about Julian. STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE - 4.16 ACCESSION

Keiko winking makes me feel a normal level of normal things, normally.

Can we interest you in blowing your fucking eardrums out with some Fred Durst screaming about how he simply doesn't give a fuck about anything?

(By which I mean Rollin' of course. It has instructions. YouTube also thinks I would be interested in them.)

Reblog, if you like, for a larger sample size to continue forcing me to wade through too many fascinating name-related notifications. But also for sample size. :-)
