DS9 scene. We're in close on Garak, a simple tailor. His face sort of looks like it's hovering in black space but I think he's just in a very dark place, but like a closet or dark room, not emotionally. Garak is a Carassian, with grey skin and boney ridges that run up along the nose and circle like a spoon on his forehead. Also has ridges that snake from the right and left hairline down around the eye and to the cheekbone. Basically he's got a topographical mountain range across his face. Back to the screenshot--so he's in a dark room and he's making a face that's like if you hated spiders and all of a sudden saw a big spider sitting next to you. Closed caption reads, "But I'm afraid your pants won't be ready tomorrow after all.

Let's be sensitive to our language choices this week!
Stop Using Anti-Dictionary Language Instead of: "She's so wordy!" "I work out to get toned." "Move your eyes to the sky." "That meeting was too long!" "Let's organize the files by date." Say: "Her vocabulary is an inspiration!" "I work out to get definition." "Look up." "Guess this meeting was the Unabridged Edition!" "Alphabetical order is the supreme method of organization!!

people deciding something is AI and not doing the due diligence to actually look and find out its an popular artist who's art is very much human but got their shit trained hard on the plagiarism machine is why "Anti-AI" is not the same as "pro-artist"

ever wondered about what ranking officers in the us civil war were like? good news. there's not that many types of them. here you go
TYPES OF CIVIL WAR OFFICER 1. Autism's strongest soldier. Has a personality disorder but lives in an era where psychiatric medicine consists largely of laudanum and different temperatures of bath. Famously effective, enduringly divisive. Postwar career: promoted far beyond the level of their incompetence or skeletized remains in a ditch somewhere (Grant, Jackson, Longstreet) 2. Messy bitch who loves drama. Actively worse leadership than pointing anyone who shows up with a gun in a direction and telling them to go nuts. All things being equal, every commissioned officer rank will be occupied by these guys in peacetime and arguably a large part of the gradual snowballing success of the Union consisted of more vigorous sectional politics weeding them out faster. Postwar career: photographed in uniform and maybe a very tedious statue and biography or two (McClellan, Lee, Rosecrans) 2a. Messy bitch who loves drama prestige class unlocked after Antietam: messy bitch who loves drama and also loves posing for photographs and has become good at it. Would be very good at dying gallantly in a meaningless charge into a fortified German trench, but is tragically too early for it. Postwar career: universal admiration followed by complete historical oblivion a generation after their death (Burnside, Bragg, Hood) 2b. Messy bitch who loves drama prestige class unlocked after Chancellorsville: submissive and breedable partyboy inexplicably wearing stars. Each army gets exactly one; reporters love them, nobody exactly hates them, but when the red mist dies down historians unanimously agree they were a liability. Postwar career: who cares (Custer, Beauregard) 3. Ideologue. The higher the ideologue gets in the chain of command, the less interesting they are as officers qua officers. The ideology is usually just racism, but there were also a few extremely weird German communists exiled to the Midwest who imprinted on the Union like a lost baby bird. Every Confederate officer you've never heard of but have seen statues of is this guy; they treat war as posting by other means. Postwar career: forum avatar (Early, Sherman) 4. Fighting Joe. For whatever reason, the officer's contemporaries have decided a fine thing to call him going forward is "Fighting Joe", and now here we are. You are watching Fighting Joe, the worst general officer in the American civil war. Postwar career: being Fighting Joe (Hooker, Wheeler) 5. Steppe warlord junior varsity. A late development, largely on the Confederate side; these officers, like a dog fed on human flesh, have decided they're done with civilization and, after a failed attempt to inaugurate iron-fisted strongman rule over a random scrap of the deep South, keep wandering off into places they consider uncivilized and being just about as useless there as they were in Arkansas or wherever. Postwar career: incarceration in a Turkish prison (Kirby Smith, Sibley, Norris) 6. Dark triad sicko. Perfectly functional within an organization if properly contained, but if left to their own devices will absolutely start rounding up civilians and doing Saw shit, and you just gotta account for that when having a civil war. Postwar career: bedwetting and starting fires (Forrest, Butler)

Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop
Tumblr post from eldritchdilf-deactivated2025061: "Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck."

i have developed an entire headcanon around the two seconds of footage from the starfleet academy teaser where the captain briefly puts on a pair of glasses to squint at a screen and i am looking forward to being very disappointed when it's not as good as what's in my head

the original version of this post says "wonderful news for your penis" which is so load-bearingly crucial in my mind. it feels naked without it
a tumblr post from seshrat reading "'getting laid' is very hot and sexy. 'getting off'? great news as well. so you would think 'getting laid off' would be wonderful news for your penis. but alas"

very good tumblr post about why to make a fursona, and in the replies, a couple followups on how to make a fursona
A Tumblr post by user taffywabbit. The entire text is as follows: I think more people should make fursonas and I'm dead serious. the process of self-exploration that naturally comes along with creating a funny little critter to represent yourself is SO valuable, as you consider the types of animals you vibe with and what kind of aesthetic/colours/personality/etc suit you and stuff like that (fun fact this process is how I figured out I was transgender lol. not saying that will happen to you but just proving that you can learn a LOT about yourself through this design process and any subsequent design changes) and then when you're all done, you have a little freak you can do whatever you want with! edit them poorly into memes, commission lavish oil paintings of them to hang in your mansion, use them as a personal online mascot, design a fucked up evil twin for them to fight, soak them in milk and throw them at the wall, anything really. same stuff some people do with fandom characters they really like, except it's 100% yours and nobody can tell you you're doing it wrong! also now you have an animal your friends can associate with you and they'll send you funny pics/videos of that animal that make them think of you. literally it's just wins all the way down for you and everybody you associate with. everyone should have one of these things!!
