I Disrespect Your Bridge, Goatman

im talking the events of the tok'ra/jolinar's memories 2 parters but More. missing people that she's never met and places that she's never been to. people she already knew reminding her of people she never did. speaking words of a language she knows instinctually, but can't really translate into english. using tok'ra sayings by accident, transliterating them and being perplexed when people ask her what she means. humming tunes she's never heard with her own ears, children's songs from someone else's culture. having skills she didn't have before - mundane as well as practical. maybe she's better at sketching, now.

and physical things! super cool that she can use goa'uld tech and sense symbiotes but there's more you could do with that as well! talking to teal'c without turning round because she just knows he's there. she has a new favourite food now, influenced by jolinar's preferences. she has slightly-too-good reflexes, strength, endurance from the lingering proteins left by the symbiote: she forgets to sleep because she was used to late nights anyway and she's stopped noticing when one all-nighter blends into two or three or four at a time. jack swears up and down that he's seen her eyes glow a little before - sam wouldn't believe him, but daniel says he's seen it too. she's wary of mirrors now, uneasy at the thought of seeing her eyes glow like that.

I can specifically speak about lagonegirl as I was a follower. They never spoke to their followers. Their posts all had a similar format to Vox posts at the time. They would leave a written funny comment on their posts turns out those were taken from Twitter users and written out like it was their own words. The many popular Black tumblr users rebloged the posts and added more funny comments and post would get widely shared.

1. people saying yes, russian psyops on social media accounts were totally a thing. they copied real content (which could be traced back to their original sources) but edited and modified in ways that helped them shape the conversation in the direction that served their purpose.  source: here are 5 sources documenting it

2. people saying no, russian psyops was never a thing.  uhhhh, duh! pfff, you believed that? cringe. OBVIOUSly fake. 

Afterwards the inquiry concluded that the russian trolls (of whom several were in fact indicted) specifically targeted Black voters to divide and undermine their vote

They piggybacked on BLM

And they focused on Black Americans as prospective assets

Ok guys you do know that every major Empire employs PsyOps pretty much 24/7, right?

The United States Cyber Command is a fucking agency with a published budget.

China’s combination Space Force and Cyberwarfare Army was formally launched in 2015. These agencies have full-time employees, you know? This is what they do.

Russia has been big into telecom as a vector for Imperial directives all throughout the history of the technology and they did not miss a beat when we switched from analog to digital.

Every time there’s a big election, there’s folks on some government payroll on every social worth a damn trying to steer the conversation. This isn’t even new! It’s just another branch of Propaganda, really, which all Empires engage in. They did it with television. They did it with Radio. They did it with newspapers. This is basic Statecraft.

Cultivate Skepticism.

There are far more players to this game than just Russian Trolls, and this year is an important one. Tumblr is a small pond but something is sure to show up. Be wary. Stay calm. Fact check.

Major/Lieutenant Colonel Sam being the brains WITH brawn (and a crack shot to boot) of SG-1, saving our Galaxy a dozen times over while getting the respect she deserves from her peers. Doesn't let something like a little crush on her Commanding Officer slow her down. Literally her ONLY drawback is the occasional bout of poor writing.

Goes through hell over and over without hesitation and always manages to pull her team out of the fire, kicking many asses along the way.

They've been immortalised as heroes but its been so long they've fallen into legend. They're the King Arthur of this planet, said to return when they are needed most.

The sg1 characters have been bastardised beyond belief. Jack is an Odin figure. A wise leader but also a trickster. Sam is said to contain the knowledge of the universe. Teal'c is said to be able to lift mountains and, perhaps if his age came up originally, be as old as the universe. Daniel is said to be a kind a generous soul who can speak to all things, people, animals, rocks, everything.

Idk where I'm going with this but I just couldn't get the idea of SG1 becoming immortalised in myth and legend, their adventures told to children as bedtime stories.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,
