Everyone help me convince Liz to let us do a very special episode on A Few Good Men.

It’s not enough they have my Star Trek, they’re gonna take over my The Pitt, too?

She’s been released 🙏🏽

If anything, these messages were an understatement

It's so ironic how often bigots talked about being "unpersoned" because people did not want to socialize with them. You know what's really an "unpersoning"? Having no driver's license in a rural area. Losing the one ID you need to vote or pay taxes or open a bank account.

Pixie 2/15/26, 12:19 PM Watching the next ep Well pre-titles I am pretty sure this is my favorite episode ever. Pixie 2/15/26, 1:21 PM CONFIRMED BEST EPISODE EVER I HAVE BEEN CRYING FOR TWENTY MINUTES I NEVER FELT SO TARGETED BY A STORY IN MY LIFE THIS IS NUCLEAR LEVELS OF CHAOS POWERS

I bring you my thoughts when I first watched today’s episode of #StarfleetAcademy (shout out to @lizbarr.bsky.social putting up with my capslock feels)

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

My cat, Saja, is curled into a corner of a red armchair. She is a calico with medium long hair and is very pretty. Next to her on the chair is a plush milk with a happy smiling face. It is a replica of an animatronic at the farm to table store Stew Leonard’s.

Saja says you should look at her and her friend, Milk, and no one else tonight.

Am I avoiding real fake news to watch fake real news (again)? Likely.

Why does Aaron Sorkin’s THE NEWSROOM have such a choke hold on me?

It's actually possible we made this episode happen. And we will not apologise.

Also, when the episode ended, P+ dropped me into Starfleet Academy instead of CIA. I realize that SFA is P+ owned but CIA is a spinoff of FBI. Honestly, wild.

FBI, of all the terrible television, got me in my feels AGAIN.

Let's Talk Television: Mental Health Musings wrt The Pitt Catching up with The Pitt at the midpoint of season two: burnout, addiction, sexual assault, and self-harm (oh my)

In a new #LetsTalkTelevision I have many thoughts about #ThePitt and mental health.

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

Immediately after I posted this they confirmed the university is closed tomorrow. I’ve worked there 18 years and not counting Covid, this is the third time they’ve closed the university. The second time was the snowstorm last month. Yay climate change (collapse).

Now watching The Day After Tomorrow for blizzard reasons.

They are using her win to go after Eileen Gu.

I can't even express how important it is to see someone who was willing to give up the thing she was best at, that some would say she was born to do. To only come back when she could love it again, and do it on her own terms. And then win a gold medal BECAUSE she found the joy and the fun in it.

Anyway now I’m definitely doing this, see you Sunday

Exhibit I lost count of why my fandom circles are so very curated these days.

I have a lot to say about this episode of The Pitt, I may have to briefly revive Let’s Talk Television

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

In a time where so many of us need to see this modeled more than ever, Alysa's mindset of joy over all else and refusing to use shame to motivate herself has been so inspiring to watch.

I AM SO HAPPY

I’m crying y’all

I posted this and then the scores gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. Alysa OGM! Kaori silver queen. Ami adorablest bronze ever.
