#AllStarTrek There's this, the episode with the giant telepathic stomach in space (#Bliss), how many #SevenOfNine episodes are there with just this one character? Does any other character get this kind of solo-episode attention?
Ik las gisterenavond een boeiend essay van Pieter van Os met de titel "Red Robinson Crusoe". Hij citeert de historicus Adwin de Kluyver in "De eilanden van goed en kwaad" die Defoe's Robinson Crusoe typeert als »één groot pleidooi voor westers kapitalisme, mannelijke dadendrang, zelfredzaamheid, Britse superioriteit en raciale hiërarchie« en gaat vervolgens op onderzoek uit omdat hij zich "Robin Crusoe" anders herinnerde.
Ik kan instemmen met de vaststelling van boekenblogster Evelien de Nooijer dat »dit wel een boek [is] dat we mee zouden moeten nemen als we nadenken over de groene transitie en dat soort zaken.«
Voor de liefhebbers is er een interview uit 1967 waarin Tournier over het boek wordt bevraagd - in zwart-wit en in het Frans 😃 https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=B9oU7
Even if Trump loses in November, even if he dies in prison, today's #SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity is a set-piece for absolute tyranny.
As soon as the GOP returns to power, America will devolve into a pure fascist state. They've laid that out, and now their court has granted them that power.
Far-right extremists broke the highest court in the land -- a fascist's hand-picked judges keep ruling in his favor. They don't care about #trump
This graphic was part of a Facebook post I found helpful (see link). I saved it to remind myself that I'm not wrong or a terrible person just because I'm anxious; there probably are reasons (often the ones described here). I'm hoping that identifying them and working on accommodations might help more than my previous approaches (since those were "hide all your feelings and push through" or "tell yourself this doesn't matter" there's plenty of room for improvement!)
This reminded me of this quote. And I relate.
Learning how to regulate and embody one sensitivity is an ongoing practice but definitely worth the effort. ✨️🫶🏻🧘♀️✨️
@Ilovechai@Autisticaurochs@actuallyautistic@autisticadvocacy@actuallyaudhd@neurodiversity Great, I'm the James Webb Telescope, but never had a team of NASA engineers before I was put into orbit. Now I'm stuck up here with no way down except burning up in the atmosphere and it's cold and scary and there's too many other things in orbit wizzing by me.
Or maybe I just take analogies too far sometimes. 😝
My Pride Street paranormal cozies are the queerest of them all, plus… corgi sleuths! They aren’t for sale on my site yet, but like all my books, are on all retailers. You can also request from your library.
@thorncoyle@lgbtqbooks@bookstodon These were lots of fun. Love Marsha P. Johnson, corgi detective. The whole gang in that Portland Gayborhood sounds like a fun place to live.
So after being in Mastodon land for two weeks, now, I'm still learning how things work and all, but generally, people just seem to be a little more willing to be friendly out here than ever on twitter or, now known as "it" in my circle. If you know braille you'll get the joke lol. People just seem cooller with each other, which is a far cry from all the twitter BS, keep up the good work around here
@luis@startrek2024 The Star Trek community here is fantastic. Mostly positive discussions about every episode, memes, #HangTrek, #AllStarTrek (everyone watches the same episode at the same time)
