THIS!!
THIS IS AN AMAZING WAY TO THINK OF CHRONIC PAIN
I wanted to point out that Nurse Hadley, the woman in this video, is a hospice nurse. This is what people say to and about patients who don't have long left to live. The fear of addiction and dependence on pain medication is so strong that people deny their literally dying family members proper pain management. You're never going to please the "but what about addiction" people, ignore them and take the meds you need to function.

I am not usually one to ship bash, but I cannot stand that Una/Erica is a thing people are talking about now.
It’s gross. Their age gap is too big. Una is too much of a mentor type figure.
Frankly, I’m really upset that Trek either
A. Thought it would be a funny joke
or B. Chose to hint that the relationship could be possible in canon.
It’s gross and plays on the super harmful Predatory Lesbian Trope
Lesbians expressing their discomfort with the way SNW handled a Sapphic relationship and explaining why the portrayal was not the diverse representation people are acting like it is:
Assholes on tumblr: Then you don't deserve ANY representation
Losing Miranda Rights protections wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card yet here we are….
The Supreme Court limited the ability to enforce Miranda rights in a ruling Thursday that said that suspects who are not warned about their
Because what America really needs right now is less ability to hold cops personally accountable for their actions
So this means that you do still have the right to remain silent.
You just now cannot sue if you are not told your rights.
Unfortunately, this will mostly harm those unaware of their rights. So will deeply, and mostly, effect uneducated people and those unfamiliar with U.S. laws (such as new immigrants).
They (cops) are not only further protected, but now are allowed to not tell you when you have that right. Which honestly can just be confusing for anyone.
It’s fucked up and definitely targets marginalized individuals, in addition to protecting cops. Double lose.
The Supreme Court does not care about us.
Now more than ever: DO NOT TALK TO COPS.
If you are taken into custody for Anything, you invoke your right to a lawyer (“I am invoking my right to a lawyer. Here is my lawyer’s number/Please assign me a public defender.”)
Then you shut the fuck up. “I am invoking my right to remain silent.” Do not make small talk. Do not answer ANY questions. If at any point you do (like to ask for the bathroom, a drink, etc) immediately repeat that you are invoking your right to silence. They will try to get you to talk. They’re allowed to try to get you to break your silence, and they will do so. They’ll make you wait for the lawyer.
Every cop show ever has taught you that getting a lawyer looks guilty, and I’m telling you that’s propaganda. Get the fucking lawyer. Even if they just want a statement out of you, even if you called them. Get the lawyer. Shut up.
Tonight one of the most iconic franchises that built themselves on a queer fanbase intentionally represented the exact predatory stereotypes that we’ve been trying to escape for decades. I was so excited for the Elysian Kingdom, and am now very genuinely hurt by SNW’s decisions.
Lesbians already have a lot of issues with rep and treatment even within the LGBT community so i dont even think people will talk about how deeply upsetting this is. If it were Erica and Pike people would be furious.
Instead of giving us nothing they gave a harmful portrayal that hurts lesbians.
If you follow me on Twitter you might have already seen my review of Elysian Kingdom. If not, here it is
Having interacted with multiple groups and subdivisions of the Star Trek Fandom, I feel like the majority of the Strange New Worlds Fandom is going to have walked away from The Elysian Kingdom feeling good about the show and episode. There are reasons to enjoy the episode - the plot is engaging, the costuming is gorgeous, and the actors give phenomenal performances as always - but there is also a glaring reason to dislike the episode. The relationship between Erica's d Una's characters in this fantasy world(Sir Adya and Z'ymira respectively) is uncomfortable.
When Z'ymira is introduced, it is heavily implied that she and Adya have a history. As the episode continues this history is hinted at being romantic and sexual. The implication that the pair has a romantic and sexual history is an immediate red flag based on Erica and Una's ages alone. While a canonical age is never mentioned for either character, the actors have a twelve year age gap, and the characters are obviously at different points in their lives. Una has been an established First Officer for quite some time and has gained a reputation as such, which is conveyed to us in Episode 1. In comparison, Erica is still new enough that the reputation that we see precede her is one of a cocky Academy Student. She is not an ensign anymore, but she hasn't established herself as a pilot yet. Captain Pike and Una both tend to treat her as though she is still young and learning, not seeing her as an equal. There is a very clear power imbalance that should not be present in a romantic relationship of any sort.
This power imbalance that exists in the canon story also prevails in this fantasy setting The Elysian Kingdom takes place in. Z'ymira is clearly able to dangle a promise over Adya's head, to keep Sir Adya waiting for said promise to be fulfilled, for communication to be made, for something. Though they are presumed to be exes, Z'ymira still holds a power over Adya that can't be shaken.
The relationship reads as unhealthy. It reads as predatory. It reads as an older woman taking advantage of a younger woman which is the exact sentiment that's been used to vilify lesbians for decades - that they're corrupting the youth. It's a nasty way to portray sapphic and lesbian relationships, especially when this is the first one the show has explored, and it paints both Erica and Una in a bad light.
I don't know, I started out writing this in an academic format so I could keep my cool but I'm upset. I left this episode with a bad taste in my mouth and a pit in my stomach. This isn't a good relationship to explore, and it's upsetting that a show that has done so well with representation of minorities would do this.
I hate it.
I don't want to leave an episode feeling sick, especially not one this close to the end of the season. I sincerely hope that the writers don't repeat these issues but it's hard to have high hopes when season 2 is already almost done with filming.
Being queer is isolating. Being a lesbian Is being isolated from the queer community a lot of the time. Our struggles are unique and we have to be on the defense and that's where the "mean lesbian" trope comes from. Having to protect ourselves includes from other members of the LGBTQ community. This episode is one that would've pushed me further into the closet of I saw it as a high schooler, and that's extremely disheartening.
Girls love me because I am cute and autistic
Girls find me endearing because I can't figure out social cues so there's always something Off about me

Yes officer? I’m- what am I doing? I’m going the speed limit.
Oh! You need a warrant to be here! You have to have warrant to get into my vehicle sir!
I am a (laughing) citizen of the United States of America and I demand my rights!
No you cannot search my glove box! You cannot search anything.
Thank you. Or else- come back when you get a warrant. (laughing)]
please watch this video of real ass complaints alex hirsch got for his work on gravity falls, it is comically bad
Can someone please watch the show again with a microscope and see if they can find the not S&P approved flyers please
reblog to stick a fruit sticker on a mutuals’ shirt where they can’t see
I’m watching this reality show with my brother that’s like a blacksmithing competition and some of these people look exactly like you’d expect blacksmiths to look and others look like the person in movies that blacksmiths would kick out of the tavern.
Is it Forged in Fire? Because if it is I totally agree.
It is.
There are 2 types of people in this world: blacksmiths and also blacksmiths but they don't look like it
The funny part is that sometimes it’s the guys that look like blacksmiths that are actually the ones that get sent home
Well it takes more than just a pretty face to forge a knife you know
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS, but also my family relentlessly mocks the host for being painfully masculine in a seemingly performative sort of way, leading to my dad begging me to make this image:
Anybody else got that Evergiven sized writers block
“Where’s the next chapter?!” Well buddy you’re never gonna guess
What’s the comic sans trick?
i love the term "joshing." it's slang, meaning to joke or tease playfully. "i'm just joshing you." who is this notorious josh. who joshed so much that the whole concept got named after him
the one true Josh
Whenever this photo turns up I remember that all the Joshes came and fought and then they made that little Josh's entire life by declaring him the winner and I get a little choked up.
you watch ride the cyclone and talia is a little like the emotional equivalent of getting stabbed in the dick, but then the show lulls you into a false sense of security with the spandex sci-fi cat people saga before hitting you with the final 37 minutes of the show (which is the emotional equivalent of knives. all knives. everything is knives. two teenage boys are head banging while their friend plays a pink plastic recorder and i am crying for them)
