I just wanna point out that this online No Kings protest organized by disabled folks is offering more opportunities for follow-up and additional action than I’ve seen for any of the in-person events.

Not hatin’- just sayin’ 💁🏽‍♀️

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")?

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking

And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

If someone already has earlobe piercings as an Ugly, they will definitely have to redo the them after the surgery, since they remove and replace all skin. Though I headcanon that they don't so piercings for Uglies. Why would they, they're ornamental, the age castes purpose is to be repulsive

TNG; an #iconic shot of Lieutenant Commander Data in a wide shot of the Engineering section of the Enterprise D in that weird open space between the warp core and the engineering lab where they're always doing dangerous experiments with alien weapons and stuff like that; the warp core is glowing blue and doing its thing in the background and he's walking past it, his legs are strolling and his arms are both swinging, but he's not paying attention to the warp core at all, he's looking back over his left shoulder with a curious face, perhaps reminiscent of the Distracted Boyfriend meme

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters

“The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which the gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate. In the middle of the elemental storm a fire gleamed among the dripping furze bushes like the madness in a weasel’s eye. It illuminated three hunched figures. As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: ‘When shall we three meet again?’ There was a pause. Finally another voice said in far more ordinary tones: ‘Well I can do next Tuesday.’"

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

Belated Trektober 2025, Day 7: Fanfic AU. Spock, Kirk and McCoy are Kpop Demon Hunters and I can't bring myself to be sorry.

Cartoon of Spock, Kirk and Bones from Star Trek dressed as the K-Pop Demon Hunters. They are in the costumes and setting for the single promo for 'Golden' and, somehow, pulling it off. Spock is Rumi, Kirk is Zoey and Bones is Mira, which feels appropriate. Kirk has ripped Zoey's top because of course he has.

Trektober 2025, Day 1: Final Frontier. I bet baby Mariner was the BIGGEST TOS nerd and learned the Final Frontier speech before she could walk properly.

Cartoon image of a very young Beckett Mariner from Star Trek: Lower Decks. She is playing with a toy Enterprise and reciting the TOS opening speech. Off-camera, her father can be heard being excited that his kid is passionate about space :)

Love that the reasons she is an asshole are, besides all the typical things you would expect of an dystopian resistance leader, very personal and not exactly rational. God, I love her

when my to-do list becomes too crammed with tedious, uninteresting tasks, my brain just stops working.
I can't finish the tasks bc the list is long and overwhelming (and I'm avoidant)
but I also can't do anything ELSE, bc "I should really be working on that other stuff"

Black and white digital painting of Beverly Crusher from Star Trek The Next Generation. She is in her s1 The Big Goodbye outfit. It is a portrait chest up where she’s looking off to the left of the screen. Her hilariously giant beret hat is covering and obscuring the other half of her face.
