OceanGate, the deep-sea exploration company that created the Titan submersible, has removed its Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn a
poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website
yea that'd be a shame
by the way, just so everyone knows what not to do, shift+r reblogs a post instantly
just make sure you don't reblog anything about oceangate because that would completely undermine their entire plan 😇😇😇
You also shouldn't queue a post, that would make people keep remembering this post for a longer time, which is the opposite of forgetting
dawn dimmadome? wife of doug dimmadome, owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome?
actually she took the dimmadome in the dimmadivorce
please stop treating the word neurodivergent like it means the overlap between autism and adhd
i dont know how to articulate this well but some of you act like neurodiversity starts with adhd and ends with autism. you talk about "the neurodivergent experience" and everytime you mean "the overlapping experience of adhd and autism."
please remember us when talking about neurodiversity. ocd, dyslexia, dyscaculia, personality disorders, tourettes, intellectual disabilities, schizo-spec disorders, etc. all fall under neurodiversity.
please stop saying neurodivergent when you mean "autism and adhd."
this post is okay to reblog but do not clown on it
this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.
hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.
kill the shift manager in your brain
you are not wasting time you are vibing. you are not being unproductive you are literally chilling. make a grill cheese with cheddar cheese and slather a piece of the bread with some honey and maybe you'll relax
...ok but what if the shift manager is actually right
you are a minor so i will say this with absolute confidence as an adult: there is not a single time on the history of this planet that a shift manager has ever been right. and more seriously, in this metaphor: treating yourself like shit for not being productive doesn't actually make you more productive. it makes you treat yourself like shit.
This is an obvious troll. Please do not interact with trolls and give them more access to people to hurt. Pleeeease.
Edited to add: I thought I should say, you should also just block this guy. The more of us who block him preemptively based on his behavior now, the less of an audience he has for the attention he wants and the less people will be hurt by him.

After school care pulled me aside about my child dropping an f-bomb “without remorse” and I put on my concerned face and nodded a bunch.
Apparently he was building something with a younger kid “who really looks up to him and is just starting to make friends” and said “Hey, you’re really fucking good at this.” which is, in my estimation, really a parenting victory.
I absolutely failed at doing this:

pwhl expansion starting at the same time as pride month is actually insane when you think about it
thinking today of Kira’s dad. father to a fiery, impassioned young freedom fighter, he attempted to reason with the Cardassians even as they burned down his village. burned down his garden, a small patch of light and life in a world of death and dread. seeds, promises, sewn for times yet to come, wiped out in mere seconds. care and love enough to strengthen new and old life, never to be reaped.
i’d like to think that when Kira threw that teacup at Dukat, she did so as a way to make him feel the agonizing indignity of every death he was responsible for. i’d like to think that staying, in the end, by Ghemor’s bedside, was her reaping the promises her father sewed into the Earth.
thinking about Kira again (thanks to @cdr2002's lovely Kira appreciation post below) and doing so breaks my heart, as always. but her relationship with her parents - or, perhaps more accurately, with her memory of them - is a whole other level of heartbreak.
when it comes to "Ties of Blood and Water", i can see how being by Ghemor's bedside might have been kind of cathartic. being there, even after the whole emotional rollercoaster of finding out what he'd done, to see off this man who became more of a father figure to her than she imagined he could be. but i wonder if part of her residual resentment towards him in the end was in the fact that she didn't get to have this with her actual parents. that she didn't get to be there at their deathbeds as they took their final breaths. that the same fight that kept her from her parents' deathbeds led to her to that of a former oppressor. that she will know this part of the people who raised her.
the episodes centered around her parents - namely the aforementioned "Ties of Blood and Water" and "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night" - are both ultimately about Kira's own disillusionment with her own beliefs, with these images of people she loves and no longer has. and how the truth erodes her own image of herself.
Kira is not presented to us as an idealist. she, of all people, should understand just how messy and imperfect true resistance is. she has seen and lived the same horrors she fought to free her people from. she is familiar with the feeling of hopelessness. she is familiar with the determination to do what it takes to survive, what it takes to devote your life to something far bigger than yourself.
but the Bajor she fought for is not the Bajor that is.
of course she put her parents, her fellow freedom fighters and the Kai up on shining pedestals - it gave her something to believe in when all hope was otherwise lost. and from what we see of the rest of her resistance cell, a lot of Bajorans did the same.
but the Occupation lasted for 50 years. not everyone could afford to feed the spark of rebellion she had, in the way she did. her reaction to her mother's involvement with Dukat is a pretty good illustration of where she draws the line between complicity and collaboration. she' has a hard time accepting that resistance, survival, looks different for everybody.
before "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night", she had martyred both of her parents in her mind. it's a kinder, uncomplicated image compared to that of the truths they sacrificed for her and her siblings. and it makes it easier to justify what she forced herself to do and go through. the Occupation took everyone she ever loved from her. and she let herself buy into a narrative that stripped the circumstances of that loss from uncomfortable nuance. which, to be fair, so did her parents. and maybe that makes their actions a kind of hypocrisy she can't stand to reckon with.
when it comes to her mother, the internalized misogyny of it all really gets me. why is it that sleeping with Dukat is where she draws the line? when she saw for herself just how little choice Meru was given in the matter?
and i also know that isn't the full story. not for Kira.
i think that despite how often she views herself as a monstrosity born of learned violence and cruelty, Kira holds a certain amount of pride in knowing her monstrosity contributed to her people's freedom. again, it's not that she isn't aware that monstrosity is sometimes required for survival. but there's a difference in her mind between the monstrosity she is and the actions her parents took to protect their family. there is a difference in her mind between the selflessness she performed for Bajor and the selflessness her parents performed for her. and that difference is what she finds unforgivable.
