I went to watch the video and this is actually really terrible and deeply disrespectful to his fellow #StarTrek franchise stars, whose likenesses are used in the video without their permission — and it really makes Jeri Ryan seem like she’s just titty

As someone who married into Boston rather than being born here, it's arguably problematic the degree to which I think the Yankees suck.

The problem with pre-ordering books is that when you do you don't realize you'll be a few days out from submitting your thesis when it automatically downloads to your device. Damn you, @kjcharleswriter.com! I need to write, not read 😭. Ah well, who needs a PhD, really?

America’s heritage is in a state of crisis. Along w/ DOGE-ing NPS, IMLS & the NEH, Trump is withholding already appropriated 2025 historic preservation funds & for 2026 wants to outright eliminate all fed funding for tribal, state, local & rural preservation & saving treasures of American history. 😡

Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.
