Sum of my Parts

Hi, my name's Megan, I'm 21 and I don't know how to write. I seem to have lost my muse. A trekkie (TOS, TNG, AOS), knitter, writer, and all around homebody. They/she pronouns

I can’t post about iron lung properly because my wife can’t see it yet (they’re still trying to get it into SEA theatres) and this is a formula one blog but:

The arc of the ship in iron lung feels like a metaphor for chemotherapy and how you have to poison yourself for the slimmest chance to live with the desperate hope the monster chasing you dies before you do

i think all fictional couples should be evaluated by how funny an AITA reddit post about their first couple fight would be

Happy 21st of September!

My heart does go out to the families of the kids in critical condition from Evergreen High School who will be forgotten in all of this chaos.

There was a shooting at a Colorado high school at around the same time as Charlie Kirk was shot.

Charlie Kirk is scheduled to speak at UVU. I have the opportunity to do the funniest thing of all time

If only there was some kind of law the USA could pass to stop people from getting randomly shot with a gun in public. Ah well . My crazy unrealistic dream

[mrtequilasunset]

Charlie kirk getting shot and killed at an event where he defends guns despite the numerous gun deaths per year is actually the objectively funniest way he could have died

[goosemixtapes]

seeing like. gavin newsom tweet about being "against political violence" really lays bare how that means fucking nothing, huh. like, yeah, i do think it is generally bad, actually, when people get shot in public, and the fact that it's happening with politicians and pundits (not just this but the minnesota democrats who were murdered a few weeks back) is a bad sign for how things are going. but how are you going to come out as a usamerican politician against "political violence." political violence is this country's number one export. political violence is sending ICE into cities in the style of a civil war. political violence is manufacturing consent for murdering trans people in bathrooms. political violence is murdering immigrants by detaining them in concentration camps or sending them to countries they have never been and places they will die. political violence is funding the gazan genocide so the united states can have an oil outpost in the middle east. and the moment you speak out is when when the violently racist misogynistic anti-vaxx climate-change-denying neomccarthyism motherfucker gets a taste of the life or death stakes of all the shit he "debates" about? give me a break

in all seriousness though this is scary as fuck. its not like Kirk's hateful ideology will die along with him, his death will be used to justify militarization and violence against civilians

[technofeudalism]

you have a point but this was 2 days ago

[headspace-hotel]

it's not a "but", that post was specifically what I was thinking about

we r on a downward spiral

[technofeudalism]

no doubt, you're correct. but the difference between the military on the streets of your city tomorrow and the military on the streets of your city 3 months from now is approximately 90 days of time and nothing else. i am also extremely concerned about further escalation, but it happening to me tomorrow or it happening to someone in Chicago three days ago is irrelevant. it's an inevitability accelerated by reckless, idiotic adventurism. but all roads were always going to lead to here. a right-wing nutjob killed two Democratic politicians in Minnesota in their homes not even 3 months ago and the average person could not even tell you what that guy's name is. the spiral is not ephemeral. it is a decades-long process and we are the ones gravely unfortunate enough to be living during a time where we find ourselves toward the bottom of the funnel. we need each other more now than we ever have before.
