Deep Space Nine feels a lot like 80s X-Men in that there's a lot of subtextual queerness that they are not under any circumstances allowed to actually acknowledge by editorial edict. #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9

A CD of the soundtrack to the movie The Lost Boys! Being held up in front of a laptop keyboard. It’s still got the clear wrap on it!

The top edge of the CD, with that sticker they used to put along there for easier browsing.
