all i know is this

we can make it through
if we stick together
if we lead with kindness
if we take no shit
if we have each other’s backs
if we remember that love is all there is
and it’s worth fighting for

my favorite episode of TOS

it’s got Kirk in an s & m harness, glowing brains in a jar, ren faire Elvis, sleepy Sasquatch, sparkle space Dracula, and Lady Gaga cosplay!

it the the platonic ideal of Trek at its most bananas and i love it so very much
Three hundred quatloos for the newcomers!

OTD, "The Gamesters of Triskelion" premiered. The cavern of The Providers recycled some familiar props, using the Janus VI mining station backdrop & the dome from Lazarus' ship.

just started Man on the Inside s2, and Mary Steenburgen’s in this season

in the premiere she has a scene with Ted Danson where at the end you can tell Danson kinda broke in the most charming way possible

just completely enamored and beaming in a way that’s like “that’s my wife!”

it’s ADORABLE

remember the TNN article i reskeeted last week about the NYT and their intentional platforming of transphobia?

seems they just can’t help themselves

yikes
We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

the reality is art is different for everyone, we all have individual relationships to it

but media literacy is also real. without it you aren’t engaging with what the art is actually saying to form your relationship

and this is how you get right wing red pill bros thinking the Matrix is about them

this is a good article on how Carol’s queerness is central to Pluribus, but doesn’t really grasp what it means for trans people

which is wild because it addresses how there’d be no queerness in the hive

but kinda misses there’d also be no transness

it’s one of the things that haunts me the most

Opinion: Carol's lesbianism and history with conversion therapy are central to the character's journey on the Apple TV+ hit show.

yeah this is a double whammy because people’s bodies shouldn’t be made fun of, and it’s also an admission that you couldn’t think of anything funnier than a joke about how someone looks different (or how their body works different) than you do

it’s sad! you should do better!
So tired of comedies where jokes are centered around body shaming, disability, and food allergies. These are all “punch down” jokes and my god comedy writers, have some self respect because you all can do a LOT better.
