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"

Like obviously the HelluvaHotelCircus stuff has its audience but none of that stuff will ever be for me or many other queer people I know and I’m like, tired of being asked to relate to non-human things, I guess.

I really hope someday we get some more celebrated, made by queer people for queer people media content that isn’t just hyper-exaggerated cartoons “Dinky’s House Of Questionable Friends” and the entire cast is just geometric shapes. The octagon is trans and the triangle is, obviously, sapphic.

I did finally have the LA experience of “I need to get to a location in Weho from my location in Santa Monica” that took about two and a half hours. It’s a character arc everyone has here, I think.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Very white liberal of me to quote Coates but: he’s right and he’s right to say it: "We, too, are capable of fictions because, as it turns out, oppression confers no wisdom and is rarely self-improving. There is no virtue in being kicked in the face. The virtue is all in what you do after."

This measure will not save more victims because the people who do these things are already aware of the legal risks, and increasing the legal risks won‘t change the demand. It’s essentially a vote to put some people (who will likely “deserve“ it, mind) in prison longer. That’s about it!

-prevention, which is not directly a problem per se, but is kind of at the heart of why it’s so hard to deal with minor sex trafficking (US culture is heavily focused on punitive action rather than supportive or preventative.) Plus, the group pushing this sucks bad.

-what qualifies as a “payment for service” (essentially “it’s still commercial sex trafficking if you try to pay for it or get paid for it in favors/rolexes/etc.”) TLDR: I don’t think it’s harmful to vote yes on this. However, this looks to me to be more about punishment levels, rather than actual

-is, IMO, your personal stance on punitive incarceration; i.e., is this crime “bad” enough, to you, that it should always require life in prison. I’ll also say that there’s no language specifically about protecting children, only about the level of punishment the perpetuator should receive, and-

The group supporting this measure DO appear to be a right wing anti-trans group (one of their other measures is the usual “force biological sex identity for team sports blah blah”) which makes me very wary, but I don’t see anything here that makes me immediately say no. The only factor to consider-

Had a look, here are my general thoughts: I don’t see anything in the wording of the text that would ”reasonably” allow for this to be used to prohibit abortion or gender confirming medical care. To do that, it would have to be argued that both of these things are directly to do with sexual access

A gorgeous specimen for #FossilFriday : the internal cast of a Jurassic bivalve (Pleuromya cf. uniformis), turned into a talisman with a religious Islamic inscription : ‘There is no god but Allāh [and] Muḥammad is His Prophet’ #PaleoSky ⚒️🏺🧪🦑🦕
Fig. 1. Pleuromya cf. uniformis (Sowerby 1813), Jurassic, Morocco. Internal mould of articulated specimen bearing a religious inscription in high relief. Museo Geominero, Madrid, catalogue number MGM-7809X. (a) Left valve view; (b) right valve view; (c) anterior view; (d) dorsal view; and (e) detail showing striations visible on the surface of the letters (left arrow) and how a fissure in the rock also affects the letter (right arrows), indicating that the letters were carved in high relief and do not represent surface adherences of any foreign material. The thick patina of dirt that covered the specimen, originally dark grey in colour, was removed by washing with detergents, alternating with immersions in hydrogen peroxide.

People are going to clown on this but we need to remember that planning for local context is important: a city with Los Angeles, California’s semi-arid Mediterranean climate only gets sunshine ~300 days a year; so it’s important to make sure you can never ever find shade in the middle of the day.

“But Dana, it was because of Gaza” Before 10/7 they were saying you should withhold votes for democrats because Biden wasn’t forgiving student debt fast enough. Before that they said his policy of four free covid tests per household was eugenics. There is nothing you can say or do.
