Vinyl has an undeniable vibe. I feel like it reoriented my listening toward albums as a whole. But I’m a child of the 90s, so CDs will always have my heart

Currently catching up on Starfleet Academy; it’s better than I expected, but 2.5 episodes in and I feel like we’re just doing Harry Potter in space

Bleed, bleed, poor country!
Great tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure,
For goodness dare not check thee; wear thou thy wrongs,
The title is affeer’d!

are they not monsters?

Started as an abstract, became a moonscape

Agreed. I’d personally add Generations to that list but mostly because between 1996 and the advent of streaming, it was one of two Star Trek VHS’s i owned

I love this so much!

“Captain’s log star date 51424.6. We’ve arrived in the Sirius A system, only to find the third planet destroyed. There is no sign of planetary impact, no bodies of sufficient mass to explain the sudden devastation. All hails to the surface remain unanswered…”

In uncertain times I find myself drawn again and again to #StarTrek for inspiration and hope. A better world is possible if we have the courage to make it

Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

The bill has no sponsors and is likely to die, but is another sign that the bullies are pushing boundaries, trying to see what they can get away with.

Keep the faith. Stay strong. Be loud right back.

Make MAGA cringe as hard at the sight of the US flag on your lawn as you do at the sight of their stupid trucks.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Make MAGA cringe as hard at the sight of the US flag on your lawn as you do at the sight of their stupid trucks.

It’s cringey, but I really do think a way forward for the left is to reclaim America’s flag; to “America” harder than the maga crowd.

If we cede that symbol, it means whatever they want it to mean and stops standing for what it always has: liberty from oppressive regimes and equality under the law

Today I attended a rally in protest of HB77, which bans Pride flags in Utah public bldgs. I was hesitant to bring my American flag, but I’m glad I did. The American flag does not belong to the fascists, it will never belong to them. #utahpride #patriotism #resist #fucktheutahlegislature

Some fan art of Gwen Stacy (aka Spider-Gwen, Ghost-Spider, Spider-Woman, I'm-Probably-Forgetting-One) sitting cross-legged on the side of a building, spray can in hand with a message graffitied below her: "IT'S ALL POSSIBLE". Remember you can do just about anything you put your mind to, no matter what others might say. Just be sure those things don't hurt others! And have fun. ❤️

A little Gwensday message. 🕸️❤️

"Have you said 'thank you' even once?”

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I have put many an hour into Stellaris. Godspeed

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S. Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

Finally.

A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.

I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.

It is NOT just for athletes.

In the early days of stable diffusion, I tried to take the position that it was “just another tool”. After a month I didn’t feel like a better artist. I didn’t feel like I made any “art”. I felt empty.

It’s cool. It has its uses, but the new medium to revolutionize how we make art it wasn’t

“Porn” is a public good.

“Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society.

“Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression.

“Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express.

It’s worth defending on its own.

Do Dalek vampires have to go around shouting “EXSANGUINATE!”?

The future is unknown, uncertain, perhaps frightening. But no matter what darkness may lurk before us, there will be glories along the way. Acts of bravery, acts of kindness, honorable deeds that will be remembered in better times. We will rise together, one day, to sing songs of glorious victory.

Lee is an embarrassment to the State and a stain upon the Republic. Talks a big game, throws it all away the instant an authoritarian with an R next to their name comes along
