My friends call me Kate (pronouns: She/Her), and I'm a lifelong Trekkie and Star Wars fan. I enjoy movies, TV, and comic books, and I also write fanfiction. I'd be posting more fandom stuff if the world wasn't going to heck.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🦃🍂

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Self deputizing and policing over Aesthetics is like the fascism playbook.
Literally going to be packed like sardines for hours, I do not care what people wear as long their giblets are covered and they keep their legs on their side.

And honestly what success are we going for on a packed plane?

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

He also runs a large, deceitful, and divisive block list.
So I’ve been put on a block list by someone named Craig Brittain who used to run a revenge porn website, says he’s an anarchist, but seems to be rebranding as a ResistanceLib™️, lmao?

“Bots, Fascists, Cops, Feds, MAGA, Useful Idiots, Russian Assets”

Bad faith actors always exploit mass block lists.

In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*

The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

This is always the plan with authoritarians wielding militaristic power. They create their own enemies to justify their power grabs.

Netanyahu loved October 7th for this exact reason. His failures led to it, and instead of being held accountable, he got more power than ever.
Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN fucking rips. My only complaint about @rianjohnson.bsky.social's Benoit Blanc movies is that I have to wait three years between each one. They are my favorite running series and I want one every Thanksgiving. Or every other Thanksgiving. The fallaway Catholic in me LOVED this.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:

If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.
So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

star trek is about a utopian vision of the future bordering on fantasy where people someday will be able to make good choices about complicated problems by talking to each other and involving people who know about things
The thing about Star Trek is that the majority of it has the crew spending most of the episode trying to figure out, through arguing and investigating, what's the right thing to do in a complicated situation and I don't think any shows do that now? Like in a Very Special Episode but not all the time

Today's shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., was horrific. It also has triggered a wide array of unverified rumors, allegations and theories.

We're all making sense of this together. But best to share information with care.

When Hegseth spoke about the National Guard shooting, he said:

“I mentioned the faith of this country. The Christian faith”

Why is he invoking Christian nationalism?

The US is not a Christian country.

It’s a country with the freedom to practice whatever religion you want.

Summary: Kash Patel is hard at work seeking suspect already in custody. Potus is directing (illegally) more National Guard troops to DC despite having gotten two shot. He also granted asylum to the shooter. You literally can't make this shit up.
