[Image description: Screencaps of a conversation between Quark and Garak (the root beer scene from "Way of the Warrior") edited to read:
Quark: I want you to try something for me. Take a listen to this.
Garak: What is it?
Quark: A song. It's called "Faith of the Heart".
Garak: I don't know.
Quark: Aren't you a little bit curious? What do you think?
Garak: It's vile.
Quark: I know. It's so bubbly and cloying and happy. But you know what's really frightening? If you listen to enough of it, you begin to like it.
Garak: It's insidious.]
did u know ? ALABAMA is America’s Amazon
"Hidden away in the heart of the Deep South, one of the nation’s greatest wildernesses is being destroyed, bit by bit, in a silent massacre.
There are more species of oaks on a single hillside on the banks of the Alabama River than you can find anywhere else in the world. The Mobile River Basin makes Alabama home to more species of freshwater fish, mussels, snails, turtles and crawfish than any other state. The contest isn’t even close.
For instance, Alabama is home to 97 crawfish species, while California, three times the size of Alabama, has but nine. There are 450 species of freshwater fish in the state, or about one-third of all species known in the entire nation. The system’s turtle population is even more singular. The Mobile-Tensaw Delta estuary system has 18 turtle species, more than any other river delta system in the world — more than the Amazon and more than the Mekong, both extraordinarily biodiverse ecosystems.
You won’t find people chaining themselves to trees to protect this place, or national environmental groups using pictures of it to sign up new members, because few know it exists. And yet, here it is — the Mobile River Basin, one of the richest in the world in terms of the sheer number of species and types of habitat. The major rivers and thousands of creeks feeding into this basin together form the largest inland delta system in the United States, second only to the Mississippi in how much water it dumps into the Gulf of Mexico.
The river system, the fourth-largest in the country in terms of water flow, stretches from the northern edge of Alabama to the Gulf, draining parts of four states, and encompassing hundreds of thousands of acres of forest, from Appalachian hardwood stands to haunted cypress swamps. A dedicated band of locals know it for the incredible hunting and fishing it affords. But few know it for its greatest distinction. That’s a shame, for this is America’s Amazon, far and away the most biodiverse river network in North America."

all night long the sword on the wall above my bed has been rattling and i finally woke up all the way and went wtf and turned on the light and found this.
@ those of you saying this is cute… that’s a feral rat. a feral rat hovered over my head watching me sleep for three hours while trying to figure out how to assassinate me with a longsword. thanks.
While you slept, He studied the blade
I love this show so much!!! Had to draw all of them together 🥺💕
So glad they're back i couldnt go on without them
R.I.P. The 2976 American people that lost their lives on 9/11 and R.I.P. the 48,644 Afghan and 1,690,903 Iraqi and 35000 Pakistani people that paid the ultimate price for a crime they did not commit

I love the implication of Dwarves knowing neurosciences, because if anyone is going to discover that in a fantasy setting, it is definitely the people that solve issues via axe to the head.

Lost amidst all the sentimental 9/11 tributes, Abu Zubaydah remains, after almost twenty years of unimaginable torture, imprisoned without charge in Guantanamo Bay. Despite having had no involvement in the attacks, the US is committed to keeping Abu Zubaydah trapped there until he simply dies - so important is it that he not be released and risk exposing the full, nightmarish extent of the rendition and torture programmes operated against him and hundreds of others. American comfort and apathy has been purchased with their blood.
Now’s a good time to remind people that because the US government offered cash rewards to people in Pakistan and Afghanistan for snitching on 9/11 plotters, several people ended up in black sites or Guantanamo simply because their neighbor wanted or needed to make a few grand and reported them for something they had literally zero connection to just to collect the reward.

If someone beats you up for being "cishet white male" and nothing else, is this okay? Did you deserve it?
what if the world was made of pudding
men who like butch/gnc women are not inherently creeps or fetishists or predators going after lesbians. if you are a man who is attracted to masculine women you should not be ashamed of that.
butch/gnc women who like men are not "giving men the idea that they can go after lesbians". if you are a masculine woman who is attracted to men you should not be ashamed of that.
i know I've said a shit ton of things about this post already but isn't it kind of messed up to think....that men should only be attracted to feminine women....and that being attracted to masculine women as a man is abnormal and fetishistic....like..isn't that literally just saying people should conform to expectations of gender and sexuality...
Thinking back on the fact that I went to the largest lgbt youth center in my state for 6 years of my life and in that time only met like, what 8 trans women out of the hundreds of people I met there, most of whom stopped going after awhile. And now as an adult most support groups and local scenes are the exact same way. It's really sad how many ostensibly trans friendly spaces develop a culture that's hostile to transfems even in ways I don't think I have the words to describe yet. Like I only stayed for so long cause by the time I came out as trans I was already deeply involved in running the place and it'd become my second home. Hell I'm still recovering from getting like all of my early support from an environment nearly exclusively run by and catered to tme ppl
Actually I think I do have some words to describe it. It was the fact that there were literally no trans women in any of the leadership positions, let alone any who worked there.
It was the fact that when I came out as nonbinary (all of our name tags literally had our pronouns) I still got called 'he' constantly and then when I came out as trans I got called 'they' constantly.
It was the fact that every 'transitioning 101' workshop I went to taught me everything about binding, packing, and wearing masculine clothes and nothing about breast inserts, tucking, or voice feminization. I knew everything testosterone could do to your body before anyone even told me what an antiandrogen is.
It's the fact that I couldn't explore my femininity without being sexualized. Hell every time I wore a dress I could count on afab tenderqueers 5 years older than me telling me to choke them and step on them.
And at the time I was so young I had no real ways of conceptualizing how all this hurt me, let alone ways to describing it. I know that was true of nearly all the other trans girls who went there, no wonder so many of them left so soon.
And all of this has held true for every LGBT space I've been in. Middle, high school, and college GSAs, trans support groups, training workshops, activist groups, meet n greets, drag shows, and don't even get me started on fucking online spaces.
In all of these ostensibly queer spaces, even trans specific ones and EVEN ones which seemingly are there to celebrate transfemininity, I and so many other transfems have been fetishized, tokenized, ignored, and treated as suspect for ever putting up any resistance to it.
I don't really have anything productive to say. Idk how to fix it, my only solution has been to just follow a lot of sexy transfems on here and try to ignore everything else. But that still doesn't change the sadness I feel for the fact that one of the largest obstacles I've faced in forming any sense of community with other transfems irl has been other LGBT people. Just do better
