We're gonna have a hard time convincing future generations the phrase "Trumped-up charges" is etymologically unrelated.

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!

Was trying to make a joke about TV writing to my friend the other day and had to pause and go "...does the phrase 'surf dracula' mean anything to you?"

One of the most important critical texts of this century imo

image description: tweet by @/topherflorence, reading: back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get to see him surf for 5 min in the finale /end description

this is how our man bashir went right

[skarchomp]

it's crazy the amount of character analysis horniness can inspire

[skarchomp]

step 1: i want to fuck this guy rabidly

step 2: i'm so invested in them I'm going to examine the themes surrounding them

(BRANCHING PATH)

step 3A: i'm going to extrapolate an interesting analysis about the character from these themes

step 3B: those themes don't make me as horny so i'm going to ignore them

[skarchomp]

you have to be careful, though. reckless boner-based interpretations can result in the development of a "the onceler"

[txttletale]

i know i repeat this ad nauseam a lot but i really really really hate "right-wingers/conservatives can't make good art" as a talking point. at best it's indicative of a type of combined US-centrism and presentism where people can't imagine 'conservative' as anything other than modern day MAGA, at worst its a sign of wilful refusal to engage with the history of literally any artform whatsoever

Sometimes you'll see a certain strain of Liberal Environmentalist talk as though environmental destruction in Imperial Periphery ("Third World") nations is the result of some personal failing of the people living there; that they're only cutting down trees and eroding the soil because they're too stupid and/or greedy to do otherwise. When in reality your average "third world" peasant knows very well how much they rely on their surrounding ecosystems to live and develops a pretty good idea of the deleterious impacts their action have. Their actions are a result of pure desperation; the grinding poverty forced onto them by Imperialism means living like this is the only chance they have at feeding themselves and their families for another day. The charcoal sellers around Lichinga (Niassa Province, Mozambique) in the 2000s provide a good example of this dynamic in practice:

The charcoal vendors also complain. They cycle with 3 or 4 huge bags of charcoal, easily exceeding their own weight, from as far as 80 kms away, pushing their bikes up the many hills. It is hard work to cut the trees, put them in heaps, cover them in grass and mud, burn them in a very controlled way, then load the bags and get them to Lichinga to sell them for $2 a bag of 25 kg - $6-8 per trip if they are lucky. If there was another way to earn this money locally, they wouldn't do this, they said. And they knew that the forest was fast being destroyed, moving further and further away, but what to do? As they say: 'Poverty sucks your bones dry'.

i like whenever sisko and/or anyone else is like “respectfully kai winn i disagree with your actions and i will not assist in your nefarious schemes at this time” and then winn makes a perfect louise fletcher face of percolating rage and says like, with a manicured sincerity, “my child, it pains me to hear that you want to kill yourself right now”
