I feel really bad that I didn't remember the 21st of September. It's almost time to wake up that guy from Green Day, though so hopefully I won't forget to do that.

And then, of course, there are the "liberals" who are perfectly okay with throwing trans people under the bus. I hate it here.

So many people are blocking me right now. People hate having their ableism held up in front of them. I haven’t said anything other than be more empathetic to the disabled and chronically ill. I desperately wish people understood the hostility we get from all of society, including “allies.”

The last season of Friends was so weird because on the one hand, they said Oh shoot people are pointing out that we have no black actors -- let's hire Aisha Tyler, quick! But on the other hand, they said Oh shoot people are noticing that Phoebe may be bisexual, let's marry her to Paul Rudd, quick!

"It was an accident 🤷‍♀️" does not, should not, absolve a person from taking responsibility for the result of said "accident." If one "accidentally" kills someone there should still be consequences. If your "accident" caused harm to another person, you can't just throw up your hands and say "oh well."

But what if multiple animals were sent on (failed) missions to save the world and prevent the timeline we are now experiencing?
"In November 2009, the LHC was also put out of a commission when bird dropped a piece of baguette into the system that keeps the collider from overheating. That led two physicists to suggest that the bird was sent from the future to keep the LHC from exploring secrets nature does not want humans to know."

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.
