[Image descriptions in order: a twitter thread by @NlMOY "✯ abe ✯" which says "spock isn't like other vulcans but not in the way modern trek seems to think. he isn't not like other vulcans bc there's something fundamentally different about him vs other vulcans it's bc other vulcans *treat him that way* bc his mother is human

"it's not fundamentally harder for him to keep his emotions in check bc he's half human but every single emotion he does show is treated that way bc ppl are looking for him to slip up, imo a lot of Vulcans actually openly show way more emotion than him but get away wit bc-]

["they're not looked at w the same harsh eye. but it's like snw looks at this unfair treatment he receives and accepts it as fact which is very frustrating

"yes spock is sensitive and sweet and kind and caring but those traits were never meant to be taken by the audience as failures to be vulcan but rather as the judgments of a society that refused to accept him and see how those qualities enrich logic rather than contradict it

"so many spock understanders here slay". Attached is an image of Miles O'Brian from TNG/DS9 with the caption "omg a hit tweet" in rainbow font.]

[A reply by @_fanficqueen "Apenas cansada" which says "This sounds like being a woman and working in the corporate world". The OP responds "no that's so real cause a lot of the people who organised the og spock fanzines were women working in science industries in the 60s who felt like they could relate to him".]

wait till the tumblr girlies find out that in binary star systems sometimes one star will basically eat the other and kill them both - resulting in the most powerful thing a star could ever do in its life.

you can become the greatest reckoning in the world but it will cost you your life and your partner’s life. or do you wish to simply circuit each other until you both die - never truly touching

Hey guys . I'm back. you wanna know something that would make this post even more yuri

[ctntduo]

fun fact Did you know that Big stars after they did can (not always) turn into something called a neutron star (most dense Object so fucking hot they merge protons & electrons into neutrons) anyways . these things can also form Binary systems that then rotate Super fast into each other and kill themselves. and you wanna know that best part?

that's where we think every element heavier than iron comes from. your smart phone is made from undead yuri that then died again. think about that

I just remembered I forgot to water the seedlings in the greenhouse so I went back outside, and I was too lazy to look for the small watering can for seedlings at this hour so I just knelt down near the fish tank and took some water in my cupped hands and started tossing it towards the seedling tray on the table behind me

—only the fish are starting to be very friendly by now, as soon as they see me they come wriggling happily to say hi and check if I have a little insect or some other snack to give them, and suddenly I found myself accidentally catching a friendly little fish in my cupped hands and throwing it in the air behind me. I literally realised what I was doing as I was doing it

I have bad reflexes usually but this time I jumped up and flailed around desperately and managed to catch the little guy mid-flight!!!!

The fish was very confused but unharmed 😭

(sorry for the poor stick drawings, I felt I could not adequately convey our mutual jolt of surprise and terror with words)

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.

Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.

Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.

And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.

And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".

In case this gains any traction, I NEED people to understand that this is not an invitation for mainlanders to get on a soapbox and start telling each other whether or not or how to visit Hawai'i. The tourism situation is complex and difficult and you don't get it if you haven't lived through it at minimum wage. You don't fully understand the complexities and you will not. And you are liable to do more harm by trying to dictate rules and ethics of visiting the islands to each other.

If you want to help, listen to local people. Seek out and boost what they're saying. Send each other local sources of information. Research from local sources. DO NOT take this crisis as an opportunity to insert your views and speak for us.

My terrible confession is that I find the whole MtG Finance and secondary market for collectible cards games utterly fascinating. Capitalism and the forces of economics are really fun to watch play out in miniature when the consequences aren't life and death.

My youngest son was heavy in World of Warcraft, and discovered that what he liked more than combat was the marketplace. Once he had a reasonable amount of money in his purse, he stopped doing quests and just started.... trading.

At one point, he decided to corner the market on a specific item. (Let's say "bolts of cotton cloth" because it's the only item in the game I remember that meets the criteria-- Not Exactly Uncommon and necessary for a lot of crafting.) If you put a bolt of cotton cloth up for sale in the marketplace for lower than his price, he would buy it. He kept this up for months.

He ended up warping the entire market on the server, driving up the price of a bolt of cotton cloth by like 500%. In the process, he ended up amassing a hoard of the stuff, and made a small fortune. Then he got bored with it and unloaded the entire hoard for a price that was lower than it was before he started his fuckery. Lots of other people who played the market invested heavily and lost their (cotton) shirts.

He told me about this, and I explained to him that until relatively recently, what he did was perfectly legal in the real world, lots of people had made a fortune off of those kind of tactics.

He's now an accountant.
