I’m waiting for @amtrak.com / Penn Station and two people near me just arrived in NYC and are excitedly talking about all the places they can walk to from here and how long they’ve been wanting to visit NYC.

The real downside of it being warm out is that you can’t tell who is gay by whether or not they are holding an iced coffee.

Scene from the Star Trek The Next Generation movie, "The One with the Flowey Ribbon Monster that Sends You To Nirvana." Picard, looking out of place in his uniform, is walking through a bougie Victorian home that is decorated for Christmas. There's a large Christmas tree filled with lights and bright colors, and a couple of ornate toy horses that aren't huge but aren't small either, and a large red and white candy cane? Sort of looks like a barber shop pole, and it extends through the whole picture, I think it's a carousel thing for the horse we discussed earlier in this alt text. Anyways, the rest of the house is just normal old fancy house stuff, furniture, drapes, chandelier, lamps, etc. No caption, but you know, because like, it's Christmas next week and all.

People are understandably commenting on Lwaxana’s sex drive but in this scene she indicates she not only sees Odo as the being he is but wants to enable him — even when it makes how different they are more explicit and extreme. And that’s just beautiful.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.
Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Shaxs is a big burly man wearing his gold Star fleet uniform and also an apron over the front like he's doing some sort of art project or baking a nice sourdough. In each hand he's holding a broken bottle like that thing you do where you take a bottle and break off the bottom and then use it as a weapon. His eyeballs are bulging large, his brow is furrowed, and he looks absolutely unhinged with rage and anger. Closed caption reads, "Fighting fascism is a full time job!"
