A secret that is so secret that absolutely nobody, living or otherwise, knows about it. A secret older than time itself. Yet in the dead of night, when there is no other sound to be heard, no other soul nearby, if you listen hard enough you'll hear hushed whispers about it.

@Taweret

honestly, considering it's a literal TV show, the characters in the trek universe seem to have a very reactionary perspective on art

in that TNG episode where they encounter the people from the 21st century they dismiss TV as being trivial and gone but like they like books and music and opera and plays

please do this, @kara (Tumblr link to a tradition of wearing a red-and-white cord during the month of March)

People do not “just install Linux” not because they’re too dumb or because they don’t care about their freedom or privacy but because they have brain surgery to perform in the morning and they have three kids. When people get a car, they expect to drive it, not to have to replace the engine.

Rule of thumb: don't tell someone something they can't change in the next five minutes.

My sister right before we went in said "you can't get offended at me, let me put some body spray on your feet" and I was like "no and I am offended" and she just went "I said you can't" - she didn't get this from us, she got it from her shitty rich ass friends. It's honestly ruined the good mood I was in and wrecked this viewing. Fuck her.

now there is a great distance between "equal treatment of _all_ entities" and (say) hugging Nazis. I do not counsel hugging Nazis

I only advise a very careful examination of one's behavior of others, and of one's claims to idealism

there is no shame in recognizing oneself as non-ideal :=3

all of us in the Pnictogen Collective have talked rather freely about ideals, and idols...mostly on Twitter, when we're butting heads with politicians and pundits

perhaps it's time to get some of our thinking down in a more concrete form. perhaps it may be useful to others :=3

what has been particularly striking to me, in observing the eruption of fascism into the open again, has been how it works by parasitizing an _ideal_, and turning it into a mere _idol_

"papyrus getting undyne to be friends with frisk by making it into a challenge" and "wander breaking out of jail by being so aggressively buddy-buddy with hater that he blows a hole in the wall" have the same energy
