As a mighty warrior once said: “Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.”

Ensign, sometimes you just have to crawl your way into a vent that you may or may not have refurbished into a comfort nook with a heater, sleeping bag, pillow, stuffed vole, gallon of scotch, several pizzas, ice cream, books, scented candles, noise canceling headphones—

Hypothetically.

If you ever need to visit, mine's out on pylon 3 near the unused shuttle airlock. Quiet, great view, and I've managed to remove the "safety and ethics protocols" isolinear chip from the replicator, so Chef Kaga's Secret Comfort Food Menu is back.

Careful, Coach. Remember that time when Cousin Nudaq got so annoying that Chief hacked the transporter and beamed his own ears off for a week?

Doctor Bashir openly wept for three whole days.

That's one of the great things about working on Terok Nor. It's Cardassian-built, so strictly speaking, they aren't Jeffries' Tubes – we can each claim one for our own.

Isn't Dark Cottage run by the owner of Verillas Clothing? I think it might be. They also have very effective advertising. *nods*

This looks like a really cool resource for my tabletop gaming friends. I'm going to have to check this out.

All right, time for a #TTRPG timeline cleanse.

Strictly speaking, the opposite of a clown is another, rival clown.

It's clowns all the way down.

I also really love this drawing. 😊

I stand corrected: as has been pointed out elsewhere, he is pointedly erasing any and all historic contributions by the First Lady. So add misogyny on top of the pettiness.

My heart hurts so much.

#FanvidRec for "Come Forth Now" by alba17, it's an Andor vid to Vienna Teng's "Level Up" & if it doesn't make you feel things, I'd be surprised. (Yet another Star Wars fanvid that is in my "Be Ready & Be Brave" vid show/playlist.)

Obviously, it's the Epstien-Trump Memorial Ballroom, Brought to You by *long list of oligarchs and corporations*

It's like they haven't even learned anything about major venue naming protocols over the past 20 years. Sheesh.

First Jackie Kennedy's rose garden, then Eleanor Roosevelt's east wing. He's systematically destroying the legacy of every President who was better than him (which is pretty much all of them).

And our Congress, SCotUS, and law enforcement are just letting him, while pretending to be all shocked.

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

IIRC, the Lincoln Memorial is next on the "to do" list. He wants to build a "triumphal arch" in front of it.

It’s hard to believe that Obama wearing a tan suit drew more of an outrage than Trump destroying the East Wing.

But here we are.

100,000s of feds vilified & traumatized. Entire agencies gutted. Health care costs rising exponentially. The White House being destroyed. Where will the line be drawn?
