*☆. Kaitlin Hopkins as “KILANA” in STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (1996) .♡°
ID: Ten gifs from DS9, showing Kilana in different situations and camera angles. Three gifs have subtitles: With a smile, she says, “So let me cut to the chase! I believe that is the correct expression.” With a more sinister stare, she says, “How unfortunate. Then negotiations have ended.” When she eats a berry, she smiles playfully at Sisko and says, “Oh, they’re not poisonous if that’s what you’re thinking!” End ID.
Scientists revive a dead god through prayer, and worship him just enough to be alive but not powerful, so they can keep him in the lab to study how mana works.
“And I pray that I shall be a warrior with the power of Yagzathoth so that my enemies will fall dead at my feet,” Nicholas mumbled in a monotone as he stared at his clipboard.
Yagzathoth looked at him skeptically. “You shall be the first to die when I regain my power,” Yagzathoth said, but he hadn’t formed lips yet so it sounded like “Mumamemuhmurmumymenameainmuhmoar.”
Nicholas sighed. “Subject shows no sign of strengthening from prayer,” he wrote down. “This is a conclusion we formed weeks ago when first testing, but Beverly just has to be the most thorough bastard on the planet so we’re trying it for the twenty-fourth time.”
As Yagzathoth bellowed incomprehensibly at him, Nicholas wondered why he’d signed up to be a paranormal scientist anyway. He’d always thought the mystical would be a little more mystical than this.
“Ok, buddy. Talk to you tomorrow,” Nicholas said as he exited the cage in the lab.
maybe wander around the house/stretch a little if you’ve been sat at the computer a while (artists especially: sTRETCH THOSE WRISTS)
reply to that text/message from earlier you’d forgotten about
maybe send a nice lil message to someone having a bad day?
I just would like to thank everyone who ever reblogs this so that it somehow ends up back on my dash because I usually need the reminder (especially the drinking water one)
Anyone else feeling burnt out by streaming services because any time you start a show the company expects an immediate audience and a fucking worldwide campaign of support or they’ll cancel it.
Stuff like “watching things in your own time around your busy life and work schedule might cause your show to be cancelled” is insane
Trans men are the same amount men as cis men. We are complete men, our maleness is no lesser than cis men’s, and we should not hold cis men as the gold standard of manhood and trans men as an aberration from the “true” men, or push the idea that we have to look like cis men in order to be taken seriously as men.
But there are differences between cis men and trans men, the most important of which being that trans men are marginalized on the basis of gender. We are gender-marginalized men, which means we tend to have very different experiences with gendered privilege and gendered oppression from a cis man.
Trans men need to be included in discussions of gender oppression as gender-marginalized men. We should not be included under the idea that we have some innate femaleness that make us oppressed, or that we are men-Lite and therefore not as scary as “real” men. And we also should not be barred from discussions of gender oppression and safe spaces for victims of it under the transandrophobic idea that because we are men we are essentially cis men and have all the power and privilege that comes with cis manhood.
Trans men are just as much male as cis men, and we are oppressed on the basis of our gender (transmanhood).
Tracey Williams of Boston is one of many people experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts who saw their lives turn around after staying in a hotel-based shelter during the pandemic. Now some say this "non-congregate" form of shelter should become the standard, while others say the focus should be on creating permanent supportive housing.
“People experiencing homelessness who have physical disabilities or chronic health conditions also benefit greatly from non-congregate shelter settings…"
i want ppl to understand when you don’t have your own bathroom your entire day can be spent moving from place to place trying to use public restrooms and there aren’t many, if u don’t have AC your whole day is avoiding heat or cold, if u don’t have a locking door you cannot keep your belongings anywhere except on your body and even if you are living in a car, if you get arrested they tow it instantly. and if you do anything except move around a LOT, the cops will figure out real quick that you are living in your car because they’ll see you frequently, in atypical hours, and for longer periods than other people are parking. if you don’t have a fridge you can only keep the food that either doesn’t go bad (canned stuff, breads, powdered things), no plumbing so you can’t shower, no drain so you keep water in jugs, no electricity so how the hell do you could and where even would you keep a microwave or burner and WHERE DO U WASH YOUR DISHES!!! WHERE DO YOU LAY DOWN!!!
meanwhile we are currently in a motel that is exactly big enough for: two full beds. microwave. mini fridge. small tables. shower. toilet. sink. it has several outlets and a door with a deadbolt. this is all we need. we could live here. i feel so much calmer and more present in my own skull. even though it’s only two nights. i feel like i have extended my ability to endure more Life. but we do have to leave. so we have to go back to figuring out how to get into a place like this again instead of building a foundation to survive. even if we could stay here right now, the stuff we’ve gone through would make us just….. rest and do nothing for weeks, if we had the chance. some people would only ever be able to rest in housing they were given and never do much more “"for”“ other people. personally housing instability is a major reason i haven’t held any jobs longer than 2 yrs. i keep being unable to labor enough to stay where i am and also feed myself or have energy to move. if we could just. do what they talk about in this article. if everyone had at least a hotel room were they could keep food and themselves and pets or kids and sleep safely. so many health issues would be reduced. screams
I post a lot about recovery and working on ourselves, and those are good things! But I just want to take a moment to say that you have value as you are right now. No matter where you are in your recovery journey. Even if you haven’t started. You are valuable as you are now.
