I love the aesthetic of old tea cups and I pick up cute cups/saucer pairs when I am out thrift shopping garage saleing, but I know nothing about actually collecting tea cups. Any beginners guide recommendations? This is just a hobby, so my goal is to be more knowledgeable than necessarily to actually have rare pieces âď¸
The GI Rights Hotline is a non-profit run by civilians that offers free, confidential counseling and resources for anyone trying to leave the US military, whether by conscientious objection, going AWOL, or any other means. Their toll-free number is 1-877-447-4487Â
The Center on Conscience and War is a non-profit run by civilians collects resources for people who might be targets of the US militaryâs predatory recruitment process, including this list of alternatives to enlistment, organized by state, that offer the same benefits that the branches of the military (claim to) offer, such as experience, travel, money for college, etc - without killing people in the name of western imperialism. If you want to register as an official conscientious objector or otherwise avoid combat in any way, their toll-free number is 1-800-379-2679
War is a racket. Donât throw your life away for a government that doesnât care about you. If you know anyone whoâs considering enlisting or whoâs already enlisted and considering getting out, please talk to them and share these resources
they dont know hes Phantom btw
Au where nobody tells 10 year old Damian who Jason is. And the way they talk about him, Damian just assumes Jason is like a raccoon or something.
Damian: Grayson, why does Pennyworth leave food on the counter every night?
Dick, on his phone, not even paying attention: Oh, that's for Jason.
Damian: For 'Jason'?
Dick: Yeah. Sometimes he sneaks into the kitchen at night, so Alfred started leaving food out for him.
Damian, confused: I've never seen anyone here.
Dick: Well he doesn't always come. And last time, Bruce caught him crawling through the window and scared him away so, who knows when he'll show up again.
Damian, definitely thinking of a raccoon: So then Pennyworth is feeding a random stray that crawled out of God knows where?
Dick, annoyed: He's not a 'random stray', Damian, he's family, and he has been living in this house for way longer than you have.
Damian, trying to remember how long do raccoons live for:
Damian: I hope he doesn't die soon.
Dick: ????!!
*Later that night in the Bat-cave*
Tim, typing away in the computer:
Damian: Drake. Have you ever met Jason?
Tim: Uh. Stupid, annoying and looks like a skunk? Yes, why?
Damian, picturing a mix between a racoon and a skunk:
Damian: Is he friendly?
Tim: Well, the first time I met him, he attacked me, so...
Damian: Hmm... What did you do to provoke him?
Tim: What did I do toâ Bitchâ
Tim: Nothing! He just didn't like me taking 'what was his', or something.
Damian, nodding: You invaded his territory.
*The next day*
Damian: Father, when do you think Jason will visit again? I want to meet him.
Bruce: Um. I don't know, Damian. He doesn't come here often.
Damian: Why?
Bruce: Because he lives somewhere else.
Damian: Why doesn't he just live here with us instead? He would be safer.
Bruce, wincing: I don't think he would like that, Damian. He's not confortable here.
Damian: But, maybe if I befriend him I could convince him to stay.
Bruce, sighing: I don't think so, Damian. You have to respect his space.
Damian: Oh...
Damian: I hope he doesn't get rabies
Bruce: ???!!
The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.
They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.
Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.
TOS: what if, one day, we get past all of this? What if we get past all the wars, past our own prejudices, and support each other? What if we actually learn to work together?
TNG: and what if we keep going? What if we get past some more prejudices (surprise - we werenât actually done with that one yet by a long shot, and we may never be actually. But weâll keep trying)? And what if we get past our consumerism and manufactured scarcity? What if we give everyone what they need to survive and thrive without requiring anything of them in return? What would we become, when we donât have to be anything? What do people do when they donât have to?
DS9: and what if these ideals meet more complex situations? What if they meet complex cultural interactions, and the horrors of war? What if they meet people who disagree with them outright? What if weâre confronted with the way that building our ideal little world has isolated and abandoned some of our own people in the process? How can those ideals persist? And should they?
VOY: and what if youâre alone? Truly, utterly alone. With no backup coming, no reputation to carry you. What if itâs just you, one tiny little ship, and your ideals, in a vast quadrant that either doesnât know them or opposes them entirely? Can Federation values persist? Can we stick to them and survive?
ENT: and what if weâre not even there yet? One day this path may be a major highway, but what if youâre the first one to take a step on this journey? Can we even get there?
DIS: and what if weâre just too far gone? What if you acted against those ideals, and did unspeakable, unforgivable, unredeemable things? What if the people who are supposed to support and represent those ideals the most lose their way, and weaponize them, and weaponize you? What if itâs all been lost? And the worst has happened? What if you find yourself in the aftermath of a war and disaster you canât hope to understand? What if you arenât just alone, but youâre alone and everyone here already knows you? Not just that, but they laugh at you when you try to make a difference? What if hope is lost? Can it ever come back? Sometimes todayâs world makes me wonder. If we are more far gone than any of us imagined possible, can we still get back to the world that TOS and TNG promised?
SNW: and what if asking all these questions has taken us away from the mission? What if weâve lost the plot? What if we take all those things that TOS and TNG were trying to do and update them to a modern world? Do they still fit? Is that form of hope, by itself, still relevant to a modern world?
PIC and most of the movies: and what if everyone tells you to step down, to yield to progress, but you arenât done yet? Should you? Can you?
PRO: and what if you arenât even there? What if itâs just the ideas and the means to carry them out? Is that enough? Is that enough for someone, even a child, even a group of traumatized and scared children, to adopt those ideals and carry them forward? Do they actually work without you forcing them? Do they have value devoid of cultural context?
LD: and what if youâre not the hero? What if youâre just some dude, just doing a job, just living a life in this world? Is it really all itâs cracked up to be? At the end of the day, can you still build community, and discover yourself, and grow?
Star Trek: no matter how dark things get, can we still hope?

happy 21st anniversary
Happy Dannyversary everyone! See YouTube description for full credits.
Star Trek TOS: *Stablishes that the touching of hands is incredibly intimate in Vulcan culture akin to fully making out.*
Star Trek TOS: *shows us Spock holding Jim's hand while talking about the importance of his feelings.*
The fandom: *reads it as romantic.*
The writers: oh my god, that's crazy, where did you get that from?
Star Trek DS9: *Stablishes that, in cardassian culture, flirtation is done by arguing and bickering, that is how they show interest in another person.*
Star Trek DS9: *Constantly shows Garak and Bashir arguing and bickering, including a scene where Julian shoots at him and everything.*
The fandom: *reads it as romantic.*
The writers: OH MY GOD, THAT'S CRAZY, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?
Yaâknow, when I started watching star trek, I assumed that posts like this were an exaggeration. But no, these characters are in each otherâs presence for a minute and so obviously have feelings for one another. Like, they are truly just like thatâI donât know how anyone thinks these characters are straight
girlsies
toph came out much shorter than i actually intended lets just ignore that
platonic third base: when you get to know someone well enough that they start making mortifyingly specific observations about you
I'd forgotten how hilariously terrible and amazing TAS is. I know it's not considered "official" canon, but it's actually got a few really decent storylines amid the ridiculousness. Well worth watching, if you can get past the animation. Or just for fun.

If you live in the US, is your state creepy or wet?
Creepy
Wet
Not in the US
So for all of you who think nothing matters:
We have a local, I guess I'll call it an events complex. It's where concerts and the fair go. It's owned by the city.
When Trump started the whole ICE thing, our commissioner sent a letter to the local representatives, telling them they could use it as a detention center for illegal immigrants. Our event center. Where the 4H kids show their fuckin' lambs.
"The fuck you will" was the resounding reply.
So, when I talk about coalition-building, and working with people you do not agree with or maybe even like, this is what I'm talking about. There was an immediate and vocal show of disapproval, from all sides. We all contacted people we knew would dislike this, REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY FELT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. The meeting was packed with people yelling at the commissioners. Of all political stripes. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Prairie Populist, Independent.
Some were, of course, the tumblr-style arguments about inherent humanity, but--I think more compellingly if you're actually trying to put the pressure on--there were questions of, 'How are we gonna get paid?" "Are you aware of how, as the only event center for more than two hours, much fuckin money this brings into the community? ANd that immigrants of all types make up less than 2% of the population of the entire state?(my argument), "Do we trust the government to pay us?", "Isn't there a fuckin' empty prison in [town about an hour from here]? Are you just being a kiss-ass?' (offered up by a man I know to be very conservative indeed. BUT HE DID NOT WANT OUR SPACE USED FOR THIS) and, an argument that was so good I was infuriated I didn't come up with it, "DO you think the bank is gonna want to be known as the sponsor of "National bank Detention Center?" (Which caught on and the bank had to offer up a letter saying how they hoped the commissioners would use the event center as intended.)
They folded. A letter came out a few days ago from the manager of the event center, saying it was decided that the events center would rescind the offer, as "more acceptable alternatives could be found." They blinked.
That's the thing. All that happened is that a bunch of people got mad an went to ONE TWO HOUR MEETING. It changed everything.
SHOW. UP.
having a cat is so miraculous. this little guy wants to sleep in my bed with me and purr on my chest. itâs his favorite hobby. no one told him to do that he just Loves His Mommy
nevermind heâs extremely naughty and has terrorized multiple people this morning
Tactical reloading of things that donât need tactical reloads

This is so satisfying to watchâ
For more where that came from
Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.
The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called âDEIâ employees or else. What exactly âDEIA or similar ideologiesâ means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. âI donât care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,â one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being âput in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.â âAnyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??â another user asked in the replies. âAnyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,â one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trumpâs anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.
FLOOD THIS :D
MAKE IT UTTERLY UNUSABLE :D
The email is [email protected] btw
Don't just spam it today. Keep spamming it until they shut it down. Spam it for weeks, months, however long it takes. Queue this post to reblog periodically to remind other people. Set reminders on your phone or calendar to send Trump bullshit. Treat this like a challenge and win it
Don't let the momentum die down. Don't allow the tipline to become useable in a few weeks when this post stops spreading. Don't allow them to harm vulnerable people on your watch
