Star Trek Voyager: The Killing Game

[fivekets]

someday, in the distant future, humans will once again be capable of hearing the phrase “what is love” without also feeling the primal urge to  respond with “baby don’t hurt me”

[megparsec]

So at that point, people will say “baby don’t hurt me”…no more?

I went back to therapy yesterday….

I’ve been going through some rough times lately. I have a history of depression and anxiety, and yesterday, I finally took that first step to getting better again: I saw a therapist.

She started our session by asking why I was coming to her, and all the Bad Things just came pouring out: issues with friends, sick family members, bad choices I’ve made recently, hating my job, not feeling important to anyone. She didn’t tell me it was all in my head. She just listened and offered me a tissue when I started to cry.

Then she paused, and asked me a question: “What is good in your life right now?”

It took me a minute to think of anything. But then, I started explaining Achievement Hunter; how they make me laugh and enable me to escape. I told her about all of you in the community, and how inclusive and loving you all are, even to people who are relatively new fans, like me.

She smiled and told me she was going to write “Achievement Hunter” in big letters in my file because “that’s important.”

She’s right. It’s important. So, thank you all for being the good thing in my life. Whether you’re an actual member of @officialah or you’re a member of the community; you are my Happy Thought.

it really shows how little people know/care about the Armenian Genocide that a news outlet can literally name itself after the organization that perpetrated it and be hailed as a bastion of progressive thought

[malaproposofnothing-deactivated]

The term Young Turk became generalized to mean an impatient younger generation of politicians, media, etc long before the news outlet was started. 

Cenk Uygur, of course, is Turkish and the original Young Turks were reformers who laid the foundation for the Westernized, secular Turkey Erdogan is dismantling. He did deny the Armenian Genocide. 

[sariaghjik]

the original young turks committed genocide. it doesn’t matter what the word has since “come to mean.” it is offensive to the memory of armenian genocide victims and survivors that the perpetrators of that great crime have become immortalized in popular culture as “progressives reformers,” and that other “progressives” now seek to identify themselves with the young turks. choose a different goddamn term.

another thing: erdogan is not some uniquely awful character in turkish history, nor was the  “westernized, secular turkey” founded by ataturk anything close to a utopia.

Reblog for Jewish-Rromani solidarity.

Many mainstream social justice movements have made it pretty clear that they don’t care about either of us, so let’s stick together to fight antisemitism and antiziganism.
