Me: i dont want to go to work. I want to stay home and watch more Star Trek.

The spirit of Cpt. James T. Kirk appearing to me like Jor-El: mankind cannot simply live a life of leisure and ease. We require a sense of purpose and industry in order to truly live.

Me: ughhh i knowww

When I was a kid I met George Takei at a con, and nervously asked him what Sulu’s first name was. He answered “Hikaru!” like it was the first time he’d ever been asked. He was super cool.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Immediately after they fended off those Klingons. Like in the hallway.

I was a newspaper journalist, worked on a story about a trans teen trying to get his pronouns changed at HS. I hadn’t really even known there were trans kids. Meeting him and his supportive father really opened my eyes.

They got Baltimore in their mouths about dismantling the Department of Education because Baltimore is their primary success story for how they have always used racial segregation and underfunding to create a school-to-prison pipeline for poor and Black students. Don't fucking dare blame the victims.

Jammed into the door handles of the abandoned #Walgreens pharmacy. Baltimore, March 2025.

A bent cardboard sign on a stick is jammed into the door handles of an abandoned pharmacy in Baltimore, March 2025. The sign reads, “Libertad Y Justicia Para Todos” above black and white photos of six children.
