SPN and its fandom was a huge part if my life for a long time, but I only ever saw season 1 streaming (without the original music) and I fell off somewhere in season 12 and never finished.

cw that in the first couple eps there is a looooot of (accurate to the sport but unsettling if you're sensitive to the topic) fatphobia. it's very in line with standards of the sport and modern cultural standards but it made me squirrely on first watch, ngl
If you want to learn about how figure skating works via the medium of incredibly charming gay anime, may I STRONGLY suggest "Yuri on Ice" (which is available free on Youtube)?

A fun fact is that you can refer to women playing defense in hockey as "defender" (or "defensewoman" if you feel the need to remind everyone of her gender for some reason). You can just not say "defenseman," you have my permission

13 February 1928 | Dutch Jewish twin sisters, Henriëtte and Sellij Fuldauer, were born in Geertruidenberg.
They were deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in September 1942. They were most likely murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.
“It’s just a horrible, horrible, horrible place,” he said of his detention camp. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

So, first and foremost, are we referring to massive national protests in the United States, and if so, what did those accomplish? I'm trying to think of... Any
I want to be very careful what I say here, given the limited number of characters I can use: I sympathise, but am puzzled as to why people cannot see the benefit of collective action, particularly given some of the massive national protests over the last 25 years.
