why do you have bad memories from helping landlady take care of kofu when he was a baby? what did he do?
It was nothing but a bad memory
grumblersholemy favorite bit of road etiquette, i have done it and often had it done to me, the pedestrian’s yield. when pedestrian wishes to cross the street, but does not wish to impede the flow of traffic/be rushed in their crossing, but the vehicle is slowing in preparation of stopping to let the pedestrian cross. but the pedestrian insists. and so the pedestrian turns away I DONT EVEN SEE YOU, AND I NEVER WANTED TO CROSS THE STREET ANYWAYS i love doing it i love having it done. dont try to wave me on im not looking that way i just hang out on the road’s edge for pleasure

videohallNews Anchor in my area loses it over a Fat Cat that likes to swim.
auncyenI love how she gradually loses it. She gives it her best try and then you can just hear where her composure starts breaking down.

So very much this.
Like, there's this scene in Picard, season 3, where they all go onto the reconstructed Bridge of the Enterprise-D.
and, you know, it's supposed to hit you right in the feels, but the problem (one of them) is that Lower Decks and Prodigy had both already done lovingly detailed reconstructions of the TNG bridge less than 2 years earlier.
Contrast this with Scotty returning the original Enterprise bridge in TNG "Relics" back in 1992:
it was the first time that this bridge had appeared since the animated series in the 70s, and it wouldn't turn up again on screen until ENT "Through a Mirror Darkly" nearly 13 years later.
And, on each occasion, it was vastly more impactful than it would have been otherwise.
Pandering to nostalgia is how franchises die.
snookicoini hate playing card games i refuse. "this ones called prolapse its actually really simple" you ever think about we dont have to live this way
clementine-keshi’m always saying this but voyager is at its best when it’s leaning into the inherent horror of its premise and i think if they’d done away with the borg queen and let the borg be the faceless mass of techno-body horror they were when they were introduced they would’ve worked so much better. the borg queen lends a familiarity to the borg that undermines a lot of their fear factor. you can’t negotiate with the borg but you can negotiate with the borg queen
fishtomalebetween tumblr being found guilty of moderating lgbtq content unequally during the 2018 ban in court and @ sorryforpartyrocking being nuked for suggesting one of tumblr staff may have investment in defending terfs to now many different trans women having their text posts and selfies being flagged as mature without the opportunity to appeal in any meaningful way (one of which was nuked herself)… it’s very. hmmmm. it’s a bad look. as if staff wasn’t already on thin ice for refusing to engage in any effective way with hate speech. “queerest space on the internet” my ass
bebsi-colasomething that might be hard to grasp is that. physically disabled people can do everything "right", follow all the recommended programs from doctors and medical practitioners and lose weight and do this exercise and that diet and this and that and they still can stay disabled. they still can get worse.
and it's imperative to understand that. doing things this way can be soul crushing. it's difficult, if not impossible for some people. and many people will not be able to do things "right" and will stay disabled or get worse. some people might, accidentally or on purpose, make their disability worse themselves. and those people don't deserve to be disabled any more than people who you think doesn't.
we cannot, cannot assign a moral value to disability. disability isn't a punishment for doing right or wrong. it is not a judgement. there is no moral value associated with being disabled.
people you find wonderful will be disabled. people who you think suck will be physically disabled. people who had no pre-existing condition, who did everything "right" and were healthy before will be disabled. people who had absolutely no means to change their lifestyle, because of poverty or location or some systematic issue, will be disabled. and people will be disabled as a direct result of their choices.
none of that, absolutely none of it, is an indication of whether that person "deserves" to be disabled or not. none of it is a reflection of their moral character. disability is simply a neutral fact of life.
