very funny that the solution to shatner and nimoys feuding and ego problems behind the scenes was send them to the yaoi mines until they worked it out and this was suggested by acclaimed science fiction writer isaac asimov they will stop fighting over lines and spotlight if you always place the characters together and make their relationship central to the show one cannot think of spock without kirk and kirk without spock and next domino falls slash fiction is invented..

[raisinchallah]

i want you to know i do not lie.. and then they heeded his words and sent them to the yaoi mines for the season 2 premiere

[prokopetz]

I love how literally every account of this situation I've ever read has been very careful to frame it as a personality conflict between two Big Egos while also communicating an extremely clear subtext that it was really just Shatner being a big pissbaby over the fact that teenage girls liked Nimoy's character better than his.

“Not use collective punishment as it is not fair on the many people who did nothing and under the 1949 Geneva Conventions it is a war crime.”

[nu11-pointer]

Wait it’s a fucking WAR CRIME?!?! I mean that might not be 100% accurate but now I gotta know

[tlitookilakin]

holy crap, collective punishment is a war crime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Geneva_Convention#Collective_punishments

and according to the exact legal phrasing-

No protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.

This technically counts, as students are civilians, and thus considered a “protected person”. So yes, collective classroom punishment breaks the fourth Geneva Convention, and she should be rewarded for standing up for human rights and doing her research.

STORIES FROM THE 4-DAY TRUCE

this is the reality of the situation in gaza.

this truce is not even the bare minimum of what israel could do. they stopped actively murdering palestinians but left enough destruction so they wouldn’t be able to recuperate. put enough restrictions to still oppress and torture them.

there are decaying bodies in the streets. there aren’t enough medical supplies to help treat the victims. there isn’t enough space in hospitals in the south of gaza (according to a spokesman of the MoH, as reported by QudsNetwork).

people who want to return home are being shot down since the idf is still around the area despite the ceasefire (Al Jazeera). there are also israeli drones in south of gaza (journalist Muhammad Smiry)

this fight is not over. this cause is not over. we are not done until palestinians get liberated completely and their land and rights are returned to them.

please do not get complacent. please do not stay silent. please keep speaking up. please keep contacting your representatives. please keep protesting and raising awareness.

your voices and support matters. it’s exactly why israel is trying so hard to spread propaganda and even organising phishing scams on their official social media. they’re using every ridiculous, callous, deceptive trick in the book to sway public opinion. but do not let them!

palestinian liberation is humankind’s liberation. none of us are free until oppressive and colonial forces around the world are brought to justice and charged for their crimes. do not stop speaking up. if this is a lifelong battle, so be it! we will speak up and amplify voices of the marginalised and oppressed until the very end.

When talking about Palestine, please also share and spread Palestinian strength!

We have been amplifying their pain and grief to open the world’s eyes to their lives for the past 75 years. But now let’s amplify Palestinian strength and resilience. For the people of Palestine will free Palestine from the river to the sea.

The text in the book reads:

10th October 1877

I am in love! Her name is Drusilla MacAvoy.

15th October 1877

Too hasty by far! The MacAvoy woman was not for me. I am planning to kill myself, and if the remainder of these pages are blank anyone who comes across this diary will know I succeeded. /end ID]

I was going to leave comments in the tags, but I decided this was important enough to put on main.

In college, my friend group collectively got into the SCA - Society for Creative Anachronism. They're the people who get really into medieval reenactment, the fighting and crafts and cooking, they have kings and queens and knights and events and a good percentage of them (but not all!) work or have worked at Ren Faires.

I am forever grateful my friends dragged me into that, because it was my first introduction to fandom in older adults. Middle-aged dorks. Elderly nerds. Absolutely as intense and weird and hilarious and fun as any fan in their teens or 20s. I started getting into fandom already knowing there was a road ahead for me as I got older, full of handmade costumes and late night movies and shelves of pewter dragon goblets and mixed-aged road trips to meet ups and conventions.

And it kills me that so many people don't know that sort of community even exists. On both sides, even! I went to Philcon a few years ago, which tends towards older fans, and an older woman I was talking to sadly told me that she thought fandom was dying out, because she never saw younger fans any more.

Over the past decade, there's been a really toxic movement towards keeping different ages strictly separated, both in and outside of fandom. There's this strong implication that if an older person wants to interact with a younger person, there is something inherently predatory about that.

Yeah, that attitude sucks. That drive towards separation and puritanism sucks. Declaring that younger people should have nothing to look forward to and that older people should stay separated and lonely sucks. It sucks and we are all worse for it.

Don't fear age. Don't put an age limit on having fun. Give yourself a damn future.

Beverly passed away in 2019, but she was one of many of my favorite, elder cosplayers that frequent DragonCon and remind all of us to keep playing as long as we can.
