maybe finally envisioning a future where I am happy and doing Work... woah...

Whatever the ups and downs of Starfleet Academy, I will die on the hill that actually some people needed to see a leader sitting weird in a chair. Our concept of who makes a "good leader" is actually way too skewed towards body language, how people dress, their vocabulary and other things that don't actually affect the quality of their decision-making. In 2026, we put too much emphasis on whether someone "looks like a leader" - polling companies regularly ask this about politicians - and not enough emphasis on what decisions people are making and why. And of course this bias ends up working against marginalised groups, like all biases eventually do. ("Why is she sitting like a little girl?" is something I've heard more than once)

Having a leader who rejects staunch formality is weirdly one of the most progressive things Trek has done in years. Think about how life changing it would be if you didn't have to worry about what impression your stance, your clothes and your appearance were giving off. Imagine people reacting purely to the value of what you are saying and doing, and absolutely nothing else.

YES YES YES. It is also so helpful for neurodivergents who are often judged for how we look and mannerisms rather than by merit or ability. I am so self conscious at work about how i am perceived that it impacts my ability to do my work well and I wish I could just not do it, but people are SUPER weird about "looking professional" when what they really mean is "conform". When you expect someone to look or act a certain way while working and judge them on how it looks rather than what they are actually doing you reinforce the idea that appearances are more important than genuine action and leadership. That's how you get horrible corruption and behind the scenes awful people running things.

Kira Nerys's relationships are so funny. Imagine your boss is a messenger to the gods. Your boyfriend is a cardinal, then your next boyfriend is the prime minister. You have personal beef with the pope. Hitler wants to fuck you. And you end up dating a mall cop.

I really love this conversation. Also, I came across a photo from a blogger and thought it was perfect. I got their permission before drawing it.☺️

"death"

every day i learn to hate myself

more and more and more and more and instagram tells me that i'm worthless that everyone else is doing better is better more and more and more and more

and i wake up tired and work more and more and more and more i work on nothing that helps no one and i beg to be given anything meaningful something to contribute to my world more and more and more and more and the world is dying and i'm dying with it more and more and more and more

i drink for the concept of love a home of my own and my heart is vying more and more and more and more

and every thing i do just makes it worse i'm leeching off the labor of others more and more and more and more

i want to give back please let me give back i can't take it it just hurts more and more and more and more

i wake up empty and angry more and more and more and more and i am begging for something more

I think something is going on with Lucy...

[evevoli]

she has done so much for society.

[latinumenthusiast]

she's in your head!

i got HEAVILY inspired by THIS scene

mushrooms in the background, the lighting and the scene itself!! like oh!!! What!!!

basically my thought was to make Tarima look uncanny and creepy ( i have a tendency of gifting betazoids such vibe) but im PRETTY sure i failed and she looks more like. dramatic

I liked Tarima's character (even thouuggh i think its a bit overused trope with her powers and stuff) and i wish she got more screentime interacting with ANYONE but Caleb.... thats why ep 8 was so so good in terms of her character (its just as great in any other way ALSOOO)

im rambling here sorry!

[lenin-it-to-win-it]

jadzia telling bashir in like, episode 3 that trills don't do romance is SO funny. theres an episode where shes fully ready to leave ds9 for a man she met like 2 hours ago. she gets married later. she is literally doing the trill equivalent of being bisexual but telling a guy shes not interested in that shes a lesbian so he'll leave her alone and shes so iconic for it
