I blame this on too many people having a reading of DS9 that just says "See! You thought the federation was all rainbows & Talarian puppies, but there was messy, GRITTY stuff there, man!"

…When the entire point of that show was about finding a way to live federation ideals, THROUGH the grit & mess.
I am (in general) concerned that storytellers in my cluster are taking old, relatively idealistic stories and reframing them as tarnished and nasty under the impression that makes them more meaningful, when impossible dreams have never been more precious in my lifetime.

Can you put one on your Amazon list, I can buy it for you. Maybe one of the tests that does covid and flu together?

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From!
This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Man, this is frustrating. I know exactly what diagram you're asking for. I saw it, too! But I have no idea how to find it because all the search terms I would use to find it just return stuff that's glazing AI. 😭

Pomegranate is French for “potato grenade” but the French don’t want you to know this

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you.

Who's coming to save you?

I'm not worried.

I first heard it used to describe generative AI that would take actions on a user's behalf (as an "agent" hence "agentic"). But I've also heard it creeping into business speak more broadly to describe work that humans do. Truly bonkers stuff.

It feels to me that she's just there to humanize Dukat. Which is pretty icky in retrospect, given our current predicaments.

Immunocompromised ppl do not want to stay home. We want happy, fun lives too.

I want nothing more than my life back. I was a show producer. I was out 6/7 nights a week.

Please get help for your PTSD and stop taking it out on disabled people who don’t want to be any more sick than they already are.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
