"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Well that's a banger of a line

There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking.

Because the situation in the US regarding ICE is escalating so rapidly, I think it's extra important to take a step back and take stock of what is actually happening:

Faced with the decline of their capacity to directly exploit third-world labor, a faction of the US bourgeoisie has adopted a superficial organization created during the war on terror, to kidnap vulnerable people so that they can be sent to for-profit holding facilites and then put to work under expanded prison labor systems. Everything the US government is doing in Minnesota and the rest of the country is to expand and protect this core system

[akimboka]

Definitely this plus the fact that Trump and his faction of the ruling class are using ICE as both a way to “fulfill campaign promises” and to cover up the fact that the economy is in steep decline. ICE can be utilized to terrorize the working class into submission. Although as we have seen this is clearly having the opposite effect in places like Minnesota…

"Nobody hates America more than Americans-" girl, third-world theorists have taught me to hate this country in ways you could never even dream of

Yes obviously I’m a proponent of the Big Lizard Agenda re: Cardassians. I picture them huge and lizardy with tapeta lucidem, retractable claws, weird lizard legs, and (of course) tails.

HOWEVER My hottest alien redesign take is that Bajorans are also reptilian and, in fact, share a common ancestor with Cardassian - something you would never guess by looking at them because both of them underwent rapid evolutionary shifts due to the vastly different climates they found themselves in. (Think Great Danes and Spaniels.)

My Bajorans are quite small. They can be easily mistaken for mammals because of the ecological niche they filled on Bajor but for the plating on their faces, and their ears - I picture their ears like lizard frills - which are used to sense electro magnetic waves (this is how the Prophets communicate to them, and having a “strong pagh” means you’re electromagnetically aligned).

The reason I like this headcanon is twofold:

1. While there are many mixed species characters in Trek, most of them seem to present biological problems for the carrier parent - if they don’t require medical intervention to happen in the first place. Cardassian/Bajoran pregnancies are the only cross species procreation I can think of that can be truly accidental.

2. If it were true and it ever came out, it would piss off literally everyone. Bajorans and Cardassians alike would fucking hate it. And that’s fun from a potential storytelling place.

I feel like TNG said that humans and Klingons can cross breed easily. If so that’s also a funny combo that would piss off everyone.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

sorry to put your tags on blast on this insane breach containment post I have since muted, but you're right and you should say it.

It is defeatable. Go for the throat.

And this causes children to be perceived as failures (either by themselves, their parents and/or society at large) when they are not successful according to the logic of capital. It's one of many ways capitalism has commodified our relationships.

Engels expressed the general idea of this in "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State"

I thought Tumblr would celebrate Dick Cheney's death more. I was a teenager during the Bush administration and MAN those were some horrifying years.

RIP to every Afghan (46,319) and Iraqi (210,296) civilians who were murdered in the Global War on Terror.

Rest in Piss, Dick Cheney. I can only imagine demons are doing to you now what US soldiers did to Iraqi civilians in Abu Ghraib.
