Nerdfully Curated

Geeky stuff I like... mostly Trek, with badfic and X-Files thrown in for variety.

[rawkfemme]

KB in the house!

Maybe there’s a chance!

[killermanatee]

Buuuut…. I don’t want that Admiral.

I want this one:

And I need her to be married to this captain:

[rawkfemme]

Yassss (I couldn’t find her picture as fast as I wanted so I used the other one).

[purpledog47]

As much as I love J/C, what I really need is Beverly. We were cheated in the movies, but they have another chance to make things right.

[rawkfemme]

Indeed

[acheronbeach]

ALL OF THIS

[osddgarak-closed-blog]

remember that time enabran tain told his son to stop dressing so provocatively

[wigglyflippingout]

is this what growing up is like

me at 14: wow, protagonists in media my age! how relateable!

me at 28: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHILD SOLDIERS? WHERE ARE ALL THE ADULTS? WHO LET THIS HAPPEN AND WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING PROSECUTED BY LAW WITHIN THESE FICTIONAL UNIVERSES

[grand-duc]

In the same vein:

Me at 14: oh protagonists that are 17-20-ish, they’re basically adults, right?

Me at 28: Oh my Gods you’re babies who left you in charge?!

[rcmclachlan]

Ariel: Daddy, I love him! Me at 14: Yeah, girl, you tell him! Me at 30:

[imagitory]

Marnie in Halloweentown: I’m thirteen, okay? I’m practically grown up! I’m certainly old enough to make my own choices – right?

Me at 7: Right!

Me at 13: Right! …Well, okay, maybe not practically grown up, but still, right!

Me at 28:

You either die young or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

[the-cosmic-goddess-deactivated2]

This is so true

[twodotsknowwhy]

Me as teenager: Yeah, girl, you hook up with that older guy, this is super hot!

Me as an adult: all of these men should be arrested

DIED at the scene from Sassy Gay Friend: Romeo and Juliet.

I feel like this could be the start of a bad holodeck episode on Voyager.  

[dangerkeith3000x]

Who wore it better?

[acheronbeach]

Well, I know who’s the better singer.

I love how every single character in Deep Space Nine is completely and utterly sarcastic. Some obviously more than others.

Weyoun looks on as Damar downs another drink.

[patheticwhimsy]

so i was going through trekcore for a cap i could use for a new icon, when all of a sudden i found this beauty. .. .

it literally looks like they’re posing for some fashion magazine like don’t forget to check out the latest issue of garak’s deep space nine couture to see the latest fashion for this upcoming fall season

[parmachkais-archive]

me: literally just living my life, not thinking about ‘star trek: deep space nine’ at all

my brain: “can you imagine how upsetting it would have been for kira taban to find out, which he probably did at some point, that his wife had become gul dukat’s comfort woman? the woman he loved, the mother of his children, was the unwilling mistress of bajor’s equivalent of the boogey man? can you imagine how scared he must have been for her? how worried he was that she’d be killed for some unintentional slight or get in the way of a resistance fighter trying to take out dukat? no one lets him talk to her or tells him how she is, so all he can do is pray to the prophets to keep her safe. he probably wasn’t even notified when she died. the only way he probably even found out was when their family stopped getting extra rations. is that fucked up or what?”

me:

[acheronbeach]

Meru videocalled him from Dukat's quarters?

[Sometimes I think Robert Beltran and Jeri Ryan acted with so little chemistry on purpose because they also thought the decision to stick them in a relationship was haphazard and poorly done.]

[acheronbeach]

It's the only sensible explanation, because IMO Jeri Ryan's a good actress even with garbage lines.

[People give Ezri way too much shit. No, she isn’t Jadzia (and Nicole de Boer isn’t Terry Farrell). But if Jadzia was going to be replaced at all, I much prefer it that way: Ezri not being Jadzia’s carbon copy is part of what makes her a good/interesting character. And the way she dealt with being in an unfamiliar situation without proper training actually made her more relatable to me. For lack of better words, she had a very human problem, and dealt with it in a very human way. ]

[acheronbeach]

It's very human to treat others badly when you're struggling. That doesn't make a person immune from criticism.

I don’t want to disappear without a forewarning.

As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good. 

The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.  Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down. 

Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement. 

Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites. 

(x)

This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.

Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:

“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.

But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”

Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2 

Here is how to contact your MEPs. 

Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.

Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesn’t seem to care. 

[acheronbeach]

Again the EU slowly tries to kill itself by alienating its citizens.

[parmachkais-archive]

Hey this just in I uhhhhhh still hate rick berman :^)

[ds9vgrconfessions]

Rick’s a lying shit.

Armin, Avery, and Colm had their schedules altered for doing other parts.

He simply wouldn’t do so for Terry.

Never forget it. Never forget he did a lot of other shit just like it. Sexist, homophobic jerk.
