Solace in Fantasy Monster Romances and My Trans Body - Uncanny Magazine

Prequel to Star Trek: The Motion Picture, in the Kelvin verse but based on Roddenberry's book, where Bones hangs with the neo humans; Kirk pines for Spock and laments Vulcans only pon farr every 7 years; and cameo from Bjo Trimble, written and directed by Simon Pegg. Ilia can be the new navigator.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

I got a second job this month, but the first job reduced my shifts and new job isn’t giving me as many hours as I had hoped. Rent is due soon as is car insurance, and I need around another thousand or more dollars. Thank you for listening.

I want one of these to drive to plant sales with my tables and plants and to Costco. The two times I need a vehicle.
City-scale logistics lets you move freight more nimbly than oversized trucks designed for the freeway.

You have to learn about your history. Queer people don’t often learn this from family or in school. I’m begging you if you are young and queer— it’s YOUR history. Let it inspire you.

The way that there is a whole generation of LGBTQ+ folks who refuses to educate themselves on the history and the culture of the LGBTQ+ community will never not upset me.
I think when I first came out to myself in my early 20s, that was the first thing I did.

These are also the absolute most ecologically and environmentally destructive neighborhoods in all of Seattle. Massive amounts of polluting pesticides and fertilizers for invasive lawn grass. Huge docks and armored shorelines that OBLITERATE salmon habitat. Absolutely 100% car dependent lifestyles.
Shown in red are where extremists live in Seattle.

Azeen has this platform because women in astronomy helped her report major stories about alleged perpetrators of sexual misconduct in our field, like Lawrence Krauss. This is what she has done with the platform. It haunts me. 🔭
It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible.
It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

I think this also comes from American cultural worship of entrepreneurs and denigration of caretakers. STARTING a group is cool and strokes ego. Digging in to really caretake a community really, really doesn’t.

Elder millennials, they upped the age limit to 45 so you can get yours still. I did recently!
The age limit is only there because they assume you have HPV. But then STI isn't the only kind this vax protects against.

I think one of the things that makes me the most Unhinged is that the government is dragging people from their homes in the middle of the night, ramming people with their cars and shooting them for fun, and everyone is just doing the same discourses we always have

One thing "Eddington" got right is that "child sexual abuse" is a very easy thing to base a conspiracy theory on, because most of us know people who were abused as children, or were those kids. So it's easy to conclude there's some hidden structure, but the actual "conspiracy" is just rape culture.
