What is the movie that came out before you were born that you’ve watched the most times? I almost hate to admit this, but probably the MST3K version of "Rocketship X-M".

For the longest time, I liked dresses and other "feminine" (bullshit!) things. I wondered if I was trans but I didn't feel all the time like I wanted to be a girl. Then I found out I have Dissociative Identity and my skull-partner was in fact a girl. It's too late, though, I still like dresses.

It messed with me when I first played StarCraft and 40K is that my dudes are *supposed* to die. I'm used to MechWarriors who you want to keep alive, especially in their 10 million C-Bill machines. Nope: you highly trained and expensively armored Space Marine, you get out there and get one-shotted.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

So the thing about aliens invading Earth is that they either are threatened by us as a military or political power, or we have something they want. The second option is a damn hard sell, considering that most of our natural resources are abundant and up for grabs all over space.

Liz brought back gifts for us from New Orleans, and mine was my first Tarot deck, as you’re supposed to have it gifted to you. It’s a thing. Naturally, she got me a Star Trek TNG deck. Because she’s AMAZING. The major arcana are all bang-on selections, but… HOW FUCKING DARE THEY.
A “Death” tarot card featuring Tasha Yar, with Armus standing behind her menacingly. Because it’s important we remember that trauma needs to be relived over and over again.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! Film-making gnomes cut a deal so they can use the human sets at human studios at night to produce gnomish versions of the films. Friendly rivalries, union strife, and romance abounds in 1937’s “The Night Shift Players.”
