they seem fine to me! I'm talking about a particularly egregious kind of thing, I'm not sure you'd do it accidentally

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

very funny that you think you'll have to ask me to show you Voyager vids. It will be a condition of our continued friendship. I'll sit on all three of you if I have to

Great essay and also I teared up thinking about how @thingswithwings.bsky.social and @eruthros.bsky.social created a year-long Star Trek curriculum so we could watch Past Tense ON August 30, 2024 (and they kept it SECRET until the reveal!!!)

do you ever need to remember that some things in the world are perfect, so you watch cosmic_llin's Star Trek Voyager vid about Janeway and Tuvok to "King and Lionheart" www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HSj...

sorry but that account is a great example of exactly what I'm talking about. tons of bullshit in the alt text that doesn't need to be there. anyhow thanks for proving my point

"gonna use the alt text as space to hide easter eggs!" no "gonna use the alt text as a place where I get to do my little funny bits" stop it "gonna use the alt text to muse on the philosophical implications of the image" it's not for that!!!!!!! christ alive

just describe the goddamn image in an efficient way so that people know what's in it! why is this hard!

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

whenever you see someone praising a particular account or post's alt text you know it's gonna be some bullshit. literally 100% of the time when people say "omg the alt text!" or "amazing alt text op!" it's the op using the alt text to write some jerkoff paragraph about their feelings about the image

she had to hide and be stealth, it’s never mentioned the character is trans but there’s something truly magic in knowing that the next time i rewatch TNG, i will see her there and i will know that someone like me helped make the show that ignited my lifelong love of Star Trek 😭

I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.

the deer have officially entered the season when they are just too horny to not get hit by cars. they don't care anymore. they'll throw themselves into traffic about it. I have not driven anywhere for the last week without deer scampering hornily across the road. literal fuck or die for the deer

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

idk I'll tag things with kinks/sex acts if the fic is like. an exploration of that thing in particular. here's a fic ABOUT fisting, tag it fisting. a fic ABOUT dacryphilia, tag it dacryphilia. but the rundown of every single sexual act in the story feels so mechanical and bloodless to me

250

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I'm v pro warnings! I always warn for eg assault. but anyone can be triggered by anything, I'm not gonna tag a fic for an in-depth description of the smell of lemons or something, y'know? and I think from there it became You Have to List Every Sex Act In Case Someone Doesn't Like One of Them

250

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

on the ao3 I THINK it evolved out of a subset of warnings culture that was like "I am triggered by anal sex so you have to tag for it." I've received comments that are like "you need to tag this for fisting because that can be triggering" etc., a lot of which seems . . . directed at certain acts

yeah truly the air on a plane when it's sitting at the gate is some of the worst you can experience

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

and if everyone/most people masked, others could take their masks off now and then when they need to and it wouldn't be so big a deal. shouldn't be a guarantee of getting covid!

011

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

absolutely incomprehensible at cons. like do tests and air filters at least if you don't want to do masking! don't we have enough problems that we don't need to perpetuate problems we have solutions to?

thingswithwings @thingswithwings.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I work in a university as well, and now I mask all the time! haven't caught a respiratory virus in six years, when I used to be sick at least twice a year. and then I watch all the students get sick in week two/three. much worse than it used to be w/ addition of covid + weakened immune systems.

Hubble Witnesses Massive Comet-Like Object Pollute Atmosphere of a White Dwarf - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/RMZgCt

For the first time, scientists using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have witnessed a massive object with the makeup of a comet being ripped apart and scattered in the atmosphere of a white dwarf, the burned-out remains of a compact star. The object has a chemical composition similar to Halley’s Comet, but it is 100,000 times more massive and has a much higher amount of water. It is also rich in the elements essential for life, including nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and sulfur.

These findings are evidence for a belt of comet-like bodies orbiting the white dwarf, similar to our solar system’s Kuiper Belt. These icy bodies apparently survived the star’s evolution as it became a bloated red giant and then collapsed to a small, dense white dwarf.

Caption: This artist's concept shows a massive, comet-like object falling toward a white dwarf. New Hubble Space Telescope findings are evidence for a belt of comet-like bodies orbiting the white dwarf, similar to our solar system's Kuiper Belt. The findings also suggest the presence of one or more unseen surviving planets around the white dwarf, which may have perturbed the belt to hurl icy objects into the burned-out star.

wild to me to go to the airport and see so few people masked. I get it if you're not masking in every situation but the airport??? the plane? the place where everyone always gets sick? no?

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
