No. You don’t get the skater with facial piercings and weird hair. You get country singers named Bunt Gruntley and Mormon wife influencers with poorly done extensions and that’s what you get. Sorry

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

Random musing on detransition narratives

Random musing, not a final thought, but—I’ve been wondering how much the word “detransition” exists mainly to Other trans bodies. For many detransitioners, even and perhaps especially those who aren’t doing so for safety or political reasons but to reaffirm a gender identity they once claimed, they’re still transitioning. The self they “return” to is never the exact self they had before; even the act of exploring other gender expressions changes you. You come back with more knowledge, and hopefully more clarity of self. Like all of us, they’ve moved through different ways of being. We can never return to a past, only move forward as a synthesis of these explorations.

But the “detransitioner” narratives weaponized by anti-trans politics cling to the idea of an “original” identity that is ruined by transition—usually framed around medical changes like HRT or surgery—to claim that gender-affirming care is harmful because it breaks some imagined natural state that a detrantioner can never return to now because they have been “tricked” intro transition. Yet no one can ever return to an untouched original self. We all change. We all move forward, not back.

The real issue facing many“detransitioners” is often a material one: they often step away from transition because the path offered to them didn’t fit. Instead of being supported in exploring their own terms, many were handed a narrow, binary script of how we think of gender affirming care (get top surgery, start hrt, wear these clothes to affirm your gender). Our culture loves to prescribe identities, not enable people to discover them.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Action Report

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Commander Starfleet
Stardate:48655.2

From: ENTERPRISE COMMANDING OFFICER J.L PICARD
To: The Commander-in-Chief, Starfleet.

Via: Commander-in-Chief, Exploratory Command.

Subject - ACTION REPORT-USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701-D) IN ORBIT VERIDIAN III – INCLUDING CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE RESULTANT LOSS OF THE SHIP

Part I

This action report has been compiled to document the series of events leading to the destruction of USS Enterprise. The sequence of events began with the investigation of the Amargosa Observatory and culminated in the crash landing of the Enterprise saucer section on Veridian III.

GENERAL NARRATIVE

On Stardate 48632.4, ENTERPRISE responded to a distress call originating from the AMARGOSA OBSERVATORY, a Federation scientific outpost in the Amargosa system. The observatory reported an attack by an unidentified vessel. Starfleet Command directed ENTERPRISE to investigate the situation, secure the facility, and assist any survivors.
Upon arrival, ENTERPRISE found the observatory in a state of severe damage, with primary systems offline and no immediate signs of the attackers. An away team, led by Commander RIKER, was dispatched to the station. The team discovered several survivors and initiated repairs to the station’s systems to recover critical data.
Among the survivors was Dr. Tolian SORAN, an El-Aurian scientist who exhibited unusual behavior, displaying extreme urgency unrelated to the recent attack. Lieutenant Commander DATA retrieved logs indicating that SORAN had been conducting unauthorized experiments involving trilithium, a compound capable of disrupting stellar fusion.
Upon this discovery SORAN launched the stellar probe at the AMARGOSA star, triggering a quantum implosion in the star triggering a collapse along with a level 12 shockwave, Commander RIKER and away team was dispatched to apprehend SORAN and retrieve personnel on the station
During the away team’s efforts to confront SORAN a firefight broke out, SORAN took CHIEF ENGINEER GEORDI LAFORGE hostage and escaped aboard a KLINGON vessel. Despite efforts to stop him, SORAN successfully transported off the station with LAFORGE, leaving the away team to return to the ENTERPRISE with critical data but unable to prevent SORAN’s escape or the destruction of the AMARGOSA Star.

Given the destructive potential of the trilithium and SORAN’s actions, it was imperative to pursue and intercept him. STARFLEET Intelligence provided background on SORAN, noting his obsession with the NEXUS, a spatial phenomenon capable of manipulating space-time. It was concluded that SORAN intended to use the trilithium to alter the course of the NEXUS, potentially threatening entire star systems.
The intelligence briefing highlighted SORAN’s history as one of the few survivors of the NEXUS event that destroyed the EL-AURIAN homeworld. His obsession with re-entering the NEXUS suggested that he might be willing to take extreme measures, including the destruction of inhabited star systems, to achieve his goal.
ENTERPRISE tracked the KLINGON BIRD-OF-PREY to the VERIDIAN system, specifically VERIDIAN III, where sensors detected SORAN’s activities on the planet’s surface. Analysis revealed that SORAN intended to destroy the VERIDIAN star to alter the NEXUS’s path, which would result in the obliteration of the VERIDIAN system, including the heavily populated VERIDIAN IV.
I negotiated temporary passage to the surface of VERIDIAN III via the KLINGON vessel, offering myself as a hostage in exchange for LAFORGE and the opportunity to confront SORAN. Commander RIKER remained in command of ENTERPRISE. On the planet, I engaged SORAN at his makeshift launch facility, where he had already positioned a trilithium probe.

Part II

SPACE ENGAGEMENT WITH KLINGON D-12

Chief Engineer LAFORGE was cleared to return to duty following medical examination by CMO CRUSHER and he resumed his duties in Engineering, Unbeknownst to LAFORGE or any other personnel the DURAS’ Sisters had installed a subspace quantum nanite transceiver into the VISOR apparatus LAFORGE uses to see, this allowed them secure real time transmission of data from the VISOR to their D-12 that was largely undetectable to ships sensors or security.
Through the VISOR the DURAS were able to learn the shield modulation frequencies
The DURAS sisters, known for their expertise in cyber warfare, had exploited the ship's compromised shield modulation frequencies, allowing them to conduct a sophisticated cyber attack against the ENTERPRISE’s computer systems. This attack crippled the ENTERPRISE’s ability to respond effectively, causing widespread system failures, including critical safety systems designed to prevent hull breaches and automatically enable defenses in the event of an attack.
As the attack progressed, vital systems such as the warp core stabilizers, inertial dampeners, and emergency force fields were compromised. The ENTERPRISE was rendered vulnerable, unable to perform even basic tactical maneuvers or mount an effective defense.
The DURAS sisters' cyber assault left the ENTERPRISE essentially defenseless and led to catastrophic failures throughout the ship as the crew struggled to overcome, personnel had to form manual relays and man secondary and tertiary backups to engage weapon systems and load torpedoes manually.
Through quick thinking and a tactical exploit discovered by Lieutenant Commander DATA, the ENTERPRISE managed to deliver a decisive strike that destroyed the KLINGON vessel. However, the damage to the ENTERPRISE was already beyond repair.

Don't be fooled. An older comic.

A drawing titled "Wild Rabbit vs. Easter Bunny". On the left, there's a wild cottontail bunny. On the right, there's a cartoonish Easter Bunny wearing a little vest and standing next to some colorful eggs. The wild bunny is labeled "Eyes on the sides of the head to watch for predators." and the Easter Bunny "Forward-facing eyes to hunt for meat." Wild bunny: "Active all year." Easter Bunny: "Only active in Spring - otherwise in diapause as a cyst?" Wild bunny: "Walks on four legs." Easter Bunny: "Unusual bipedal stance." Wild bunny: "Plain brown and white fur." Easter Bunny: "Distinctive vest-like markings." Wild bunny: "Gives birth to live young." Easter Bunny: "Steals and redistributes eggs; parasitic reproductive strategy?"

Hormonal birth control places reliable pregnancy prevention in women’s hands, unlocking their dignity, potential, and self-determination. It is as vital to human thriving as antibiotics. Attacks on it are attacks on women as citizens, workers, and social equals.
