Sometimes I think about how Star Trek Deep Space Nine depicted the Bajorans as having just come out of a 50 yr long brutal fascist, colonial, genocidal occupation that they used terrorism (the show explicitly used this word) to kick out.

And how the show depicts this as unquestionably a good thing.

One of the lead characters in the show, Major Kira, was a "terrorist", and we're not meant to think less of her because of it. She was resisting the occupation of her home!

Lesbians of color, specifically mascs, butches, n studs, I'm currently writing a paper on masculinity as a lesbian and would appreciate if anyone would be willing to share their experiences/thoughts either in comments, rbs, or through asks (can be anonymous). My sources atm are Pretty Butches, The Watermelon Woman, Women, Race & Class, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, and some academic papers I've collected from the library. Here are some of the questions I'm looking to answer: How do lesbians of color navigate gender expression and identity, particularly masculine presentations, as people who exist outside of the established (Western) gender binary? Is presenting masculine a way of further deconstructing the gender roles that have been assigned to non-men of color despite us not being “participants” in the Western construction of womanhood? Or is it a way of disregarding them entirely?

And my very rough thesis atm is, masc/butch lesbians of color and studs use masculine gender expression as a way of redefining masculinity as a whole, creating a “new” masculinity that completely decenters men and traditional Western gender boundaries altogether. The questions here are very broad but I intend to go into further detail, particularly on hypermasculinization and hyperfeminization, among other things.

Kirk was a real one for this

happy birthday karl marx ❗️❗️🥳🎂🎊🎉

i will die without routine. also this routine is killing me

you could say that for actors and stuff but it employs so many more people also i like to see people cry and scream and stuff

one of the thing that helped my decision to leave twitter and made it easier was seeing mutuals get into sports/competition stuff the way they used to do with tv shows/movies back in their teens like ?? if that happens to anyone of my mutuals on here you’re getting blocked idc professional sports stuff is one of the most annoying thing on the planet for me like WE NEED DOCTORS AND FIREFIGHTERS AMD LAWYERS AND SCIENTISTS NOT PEOPLE PLAYING BALL ON FIELDS!!

Rest in Peace, Bernard Hill 🤍🕊

Tonight, we remember one who lent his enormous talent to telling the story we have all come to love. Hail, the victorious dead!

May the Simbelmynë cover his tomb as it did the tomb of the one he so accurately portrayed.

Bernard Hill Dec 17, 1944 - May 5, 2024

bastille has done more for the queer community by just making all of their love songs about "you" instead of specifying a gender than taylor swift has in all of her discography. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

The majority of people are horny. People are always going to be horny. You cannot stop people from being horny. Throughout history there have been extensive attempts to suppress horniness and they haven’t worked. You can be mad about it all you want but horniness will prevail against any adversity. There will always be an aspect of horniness within society. Sexuality cannot be contained by having missionary sex with your spouse alone in the privacy of a dark bedroom.

i love to learn about my cat i love to google “should you trim cat last claw? trim all cat claws? cat last claw called? cat fifth claw? cat claws labelled. trim cat dew claw?” and then say hi graham i learned something about you! your weird claw is called a dew claw and it will not be worn down by regular walking so it is extra important to be diligent about trimming to prevent it growing into your paw pad! and he bites me and bites me
