(I want to like Becky, but the problem keeps being her actions and presumption. Like IDK girl, you didn't have a *right* to your best friend's sexual interest, and you're not *acting right* by taking that out on the girl who is actually into you, hurting her multiple times)

Anyway I'mma go put quantum torpedoes and a bunch of Borg weapons on a 2270s-style Constitution class ship and see how that goes, I'm sure the duotronics can handle it

Who can get us out of this mess???

Is it.....

It is!

It's Chekov, Scotty, and a duplicate copy of Tasha Yar here to give us our very own Enterprise-C!

I am making NONE of this up. Of course, then that storyline resolves and.... oh man, is that my good buddy Daniels from Enterprise? And the aliens from that one Risa episode of TNG? Sure hope the dead future guy from that one ENT episode doesn't show - oh he did? And we're best friends????

Oh wow, the Iconians are back and they're mad because Sela was a total jerk to them? Who can help me defeat them?

Oh man, it's my good friend Martok! And grown up Alexander from that one episode of TNG! And the Krenim from that one Voyager two-parter! And old Worf married to Quark's ex-wife!

Oh who's that here to save the day with me? My good buddy V'ger, here to help me teach an important lesson to his evil brother, C'ger

(I am not making this up this is literally one of the plotlines)

Anyway this nightclub I'm running with Gay Tony is going surprisingly well so far

Gay marriage may still be challenged but the way we fight back must be by standing together to defend our community

ALL of our community

Trans people but especially trans women are the most vulnerable among us and if we cannot defend the most vulnerable then we will eventually collectively fail

If we fail to defend trans rights

Then we cis queers will deserve to lose gay marriage bc it would never have been possible without the labor, love, blood, sweat, hopes, and vision of trans people

Do not stop fighting for our queer family just bc for the moment gay marriage is safe

Like many of the best Vader moments, you really feel that it's still sorta Anakin in there being a complete drama queen in many of the Obi-Wan scenes, IMO. Rolling his eyes, pulling faces, setting up bits where a bunch of people die, etc.

Seriously, treat yourself to the horror of the realization that the way you're being treated has nothing to do with you being trans, it's just that people hate fat women.

Very gender, if you think about it.

I'm reading project proposals and a lovely amount of them have a "we need to kill this AI thing NOW" flavor to them

Fucking Apollo, amirite?

Of course, this is not the first time it's happened, seeing as my other primary fear-since-childhood was a worldwide pandemic.

Anyway I have the gift of prophecy, but not in a fun or useful way.

Like, "this can potentially provide restored vision to humans after years without it"-level stuff is being passed over for "but it can make porn of ANYONE! And you don't even have to ask permission!"
