STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1993)

also this is part of a disturbing but sadly not uncommon attitude that progress = women (specifically women most of the time) showing more skin. because not showing skin is "following irrational religious modesty mandates" like the man on twitter says

somehow being progressive and secular automatically means putting women's bodies on display (although of course these people would shame women showing that much skin because they chose to). gee, I wonder why...

(to be clear, religious concealing clothing should also be respected as long as it's voluntary!)

#hmm.#i was forced to stop swimming competitively because of a strange non-permanent but long-term skin reaction to pool chemicals.#i no longer react to pool water so i can swim now. i rarely do because my body changed so much that i cannot bear to be seen in a swimsuit.#i was never comfortable in it. i quit volleyball because the highschool uniform was embarrassingly skimpy.#i quit gymnastics because the leotard was... yeah. i was really good.#soccer was the only thing i played through highschool graduation because the uniform was basically fucking normal clothes.#(and i liked it but that's besides the point).#it's a real fucking problem. it has baffled me for centuries.

This is the 85 year old creator of Roger Rabbit:

#“i'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored toontown tent” is the new “you're not invited to my birthday”

Ok. Looking for advice/help/recommendations from my fellow musicians:

Where can I download piano sheet music for free? Like, totally fine with pirate-style. I'm just not willing to shell out $2-5 to predatory sites like Musicnotes, MuseScore, or Sheet Music Direct :/

I'm looking for contemporary and popular media type music, like theme songs and modern songs. Official sheet music preferred, but accurate arrangements or transpositions acceptable.

#is this a thing??#the joys of being a remarkable sight-reader and shit at playing by ear :/

Peeked out the curtain because the sun looked like it was a nice color — bruh, no one told me the sun was exactly eye-level at the exact angle I looked out. I am blind forever now.

I used to be so punk. I promise. But I don't know how I became such a perfect daughter-in-law and now I'm planning to hang out with my mother-in-law in a resort town in their neck of the woods while my husband is at a conference?? Who the fuck am I???

Nevermind. Schedule is a little wonkier than we thought, so I'm staying home alone with the cats. Boo.

#but also yay?#first night home alone??#also first night without hubs since... 5 years ago

“spicy pillow” jokes aside, I think @flowerkrone’s tags deserve a serious reply:

#my old phone looks like this on my shelf lmao #im too scared to touch it to throw it away #idk what trash this even goes into when its at this point

The pillow-shaped object here used to be the phone’s battery. It’s not a battery anymore. Now it’s a balloon full of corrosive, pyrophoric chemicals and hydrogen gas and it’s one puncture away from burning your house down. I am 100% serious. You should be scared to touch it.

But you gotta touch it, because you gotta get it out of your house before the pressure builds up to the point where the balloon pops. This isn’t going to happen soon – there is no need to panic – but it will happen eventually.

And, indeed, it doesn’t go in the ordinary trash. You put this in the ordinary trash and you’re gonna set the garbage truck on fire. Don’t do that to the garbage collectors, their job is hard enough already.

The first thing you need to do is get a fireproof container. The most common household item that qualifies as a fireproof container is a cast-iron cookpot with a cast-iron lid – often sold as a “Dutch oven.” Any other cooking container that’s unreactive, has a very high melting point, and has a lid made of the same materials will also work: enameled or stainless steel, Pyrex with glass lid, etc.

However: Do not use a pot with a PTFE-based non-stick coating. If the battery does explode, the fire will probably be hot enough to degrade a PTFE coating, producing toxic smoke. (Not that you should breathe the smoke from the battery fire either, but PTFE breakdown products are worse.) Do not use a pot made of aluminium or copper. The fire might even get hot enough to melt those.

Whatever container you use, you might have to throw away along with the phone, so don’t use your good Dutch oven for this. Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap one.

Once you have the fireproof container:

Gently pick up the phone and put it in the fireproof container. If possible, gently tape the phone to the bottom of the container to prevent it from bouncing around. Don’t put any padding in there, that’ll just make a fire worse if it does happen. Put the lid on and tape it shut.

Put a label on the container, something like “DEFECTIVE LI-ION BATTERY – FIRE HAZARD”.

It is now reasonably safe to move the container around. However, if the battery does explode, the container is very likely to leak smoke and get hot, so keep it in a well-ventilated area and away from things that will be damaged by heat. Don’t leave it exposed to the weather, either.

You need to find either a hazardous waste disposal site, or an e-waste recycler that will accept defective Li-ion batteries. I can’t help with that because I have no idea where you live.

However, your local fire department, if you have one, will probably be happy to help. Call their non-emergency number. Nothing is on fire yet, so this isn’t an emergency, but things that can easily start a fire are still within the fire department’s responsibilities. Tell them you have a phone with a bulging lithium-ion battery, you put it in a fireproof container, and you want to know how to dispose of it safely.

If the fire department tries to tell you this isn’t dangerous or it’s okay to throw it out in the regular trash (with or without fireproof container), hang up on them and write a cranky letter to your local government representatives, then keep looking for a proper disposal site.

When you do find a a hazardous waste disposal site or an e-waste recycler, call them and make sure they will take defective Li-ion batteries, before showing up. That’s also a good time to ask if they will let you have the fireproof container back.
