George Tiller was murdered 13 years ago today (May 31 2022)

[entertheaardvark]

People noting this anniversary reminding me again that it is such an insane failure of the pro-choice movement that we do not as a nation think of George Tiller as a civil rights hero and additionally a martyr at the level of MLK Jr. or a Kennedy. So, you know, do your part, etc.

AU where Julian's been a little more open about his family - like, far from everything, but at least they all know the vibes aren't great. So when they come to the station he's like "Help can anyone be my fake date tonight for dinner? Don't want to do this on my own..."

Jadzia's obviously like "Here for you, but let me check with Worf" - but then to everyone's surprise, Worf replied with. "No. I shall fake date Doctor Bashir. Your parents would not dare belittle the mate of a Klingon."

And that's that.

(alternatively, Worf says "Lying is dishonourable. But Jadzia and I are willing to enter into a relationship with you" - I'm not sure which option I like better)

Happy May the Fourth! I added a second page to this comic from last year!

Garak was late to lunch that day because he was building a bomb to destroy his shop. He was eating Delavian chocolates while he made it. He saw an assassin and knew for whom the bell tolled, but he still ate his chocolates, and he still went to lunch, just a little late. Because he was making a bomb to blow himself up with.

[cucumbermoon]

Just to reiterate, Garak’s to-do list that day looked like this:

1. Make bomb

2. Lunch with Dr. Bashir ❤️

3. Explode

[cucumbermoon]

I’m reblogging my own post again because I just remembered that Garak WASN’T HUNGRY. He went to lunch but he didn’t eat anything, because he filled up on chocolates while making his bomb. He also risked his life to go to lunch. There was an assassin loose on the Promenade and he wasn’t hungry. You know every second counted because he blew himself up the exact instant that he walked into his shop. He literally only went to lunch at all so that he could tell Julian how much he hated Julius Caesar.

I…. I can’t get this out of my head. I think I have to write a fic about it.

It’s the corollary to the Costco pizza ordering system. You call a number, with no answering machine, and if someone picks up (not guaranteed) you tell them you want a whole pizza ordering system or five. They MAY ask your name. They probably will say 15 or 20 or 25 min or 5:30, or they may just hang up on you. You show up and pay for your pizza, it is there.

Trust.

i love how weird kids are. they make up the most bizarre stuff when left to their own devices and it's never what an adult would naively predict a kid would do in their imaginative play

my friend's 5 year old recently got a toy veterinary medicine set - it's super cool, like one of those mini play kitchens a lot of kids have, but it's set up to pretend to be a vet (it's this thing) - it has stuffed animals and things to weigh them, give them medicine, take x-rays, write on their charts, etc.

so this kid, who is five and to my knowledge has no experience in the administrative bureaucracy of modern healthcare, puts a stuffed pig named Piggy on the exam table. she pretends to draw blood from Piggy using a fake syringe, and the blood goes into a toy test tube vial that she calls "the resulter"

i'm playing with her, right, so i'm like, awesome, what are the results of Piggy's blood test? and she says "we have to send it to the scientists." so we send the vial to the scientists (put it in her bedroom) and when we get back to the vet playset i'm like awesome what did the scientists say? and she says they have not gotten back to us yet

so she rolls her eyes, exasperated, and says we have to call the scientists. she pretends to call them. apparently, they tell her that Piggy's blood test is "at the bottom of the list" and "we have to WAIT." she frowns. we wait a bit longer and call them back. they tell us it will be a while! she says we should go ask the scientists in person so we go back to her bedroom and she inquires at this imaginary lab, at which point the scientists yell at her and tell her now they will make us wait even longer!

keep in mind she is 100% directing this play. she is making all this up. she is fully in control of this game, and she has decided that what we are going to pretend is that we are dealing with this exhausting nonsense, not actually treating Piggy.

finally the blood tests come back. they are inconclusive. the scientists do not know what is wrong with Piggy. the little girl walks back to the stuffed pig on the exam table, sighs deeply, and says in a very serious voice "we can never help you."

i'm obsessed with this kid. when given complete control over a make believe scenario, instead of becoming the heroic rescuer administering effective cures, she is instead a beleaguered vet making multiple calls to an overworked lab only to be left unable to help her patient.

10/10 no notes. kids are amazing

so glad starfleet academy is about something and not just corny high school/college nonsense (still very fun!) but is actually about coming of age in a time of political upheaval and social unrest which is new and compelling and sooo promising for future episodes

[lieutenantratte]

This is their dynamic exactly.

My Deep Space 9 self-insert fantasy is working for Garak in his tailor shop, however, I also know for a fact that he would be a terrible boss. He would be liable to snap and yell at me over tiny mistakes just because he's having a bad day. He'd drop everything and leave me to man the counter myself, no matter how many customers were waiting, the second Bashir showed up and asked him to lunch. He'd get drunk and oversleep the next morning and be late to open the place, but expect me to just stand there waiting indefinitely on the promenade and be ready to start working whenever he feels like showing up (obviously I can't unlock the door myself, he would never give me his constantly changing series of complex security codes). And then I'd probably die because he forgot about me when he blew it up.

Donnix is a Vorta dissident and federation asylee, successful in his goal of joining Starfleet. Nine years after the Dominion war, he finds himself as an ensign embarking on a flagship mission: The Federations first large-scale exploration of the Gamma Quadrant. Already paranoid about returning home, Donnix is further perturbed by the secrecy surrounding the mission.

The initial art is amazing and so in line with the styling we see in DS9 Trek - looking forward to when we jump 9 years ahead to the mission.
