Yeah, I'm talking about Star Trek hair AGAIN.

A multi-parter:

Which Star Trek character has the best hair?

Which Star Trek character's hair do you think you could pull off on your own head?

If you aren't sure, and want to share pictures of yourself, we can all help you guess.

@RickiTarr Beverly Crusher. Gorgeous ginger locks. She’s lost the ginger, but her hair is still absolument fabuleux.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ And ‘Lower Decks’ Nominated For Best Series Critics Choice Awards

SNW up for Best Drama Series, Celia Rose Gooding for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, LD up for Best Animated Series

EpicMuch ,

This has been a great year for new Star Trek stories

Jaccident ,

I can see Lower Decks maybe taking that award, unfortunately I don’t see SNW winning alone, and I strongly suspect Elizabeth Debicki will take the Best Actress Award.

I via When She’s Ready by Ruby Dixon. The audiobook is both When She’s Ready and When She’s Lonely. Both are very pro-consent post-slavery human-alien . I find these Risdaverse entertaining & mostly safe, more so than her other series. (I ❤️Ruby even when it’s scary.) @romancebooks

I want to add something to this post about the 2nd in this compilation: When She’s Lonely by Ruby Dixon. The FMC in this story has significant hearing loss that impacts her daily quality of life. If you look for stories of MCs with disabilities, and like or at least accept human-alien & sex, I recommend this. I recommend it anyway, but especially if this is in your areas of interest. @romancebooks @romancelandia

@ElleSabine @romancebooks @romancelandia Thank you for this addition! It’s made me want to give it a shot!

Meta didn’t say why, but the EU’s Digital Markets Act could be the culprit.

jmcs ,

They could comply with the DMA by opening up Facebook Messenger to everyone (for example by reintroducing XMPP), so no this is not because of the DMA (besides the “look at what you made me do” abuser’s mantra), it’s because Facebook will stop at nothing to trap users in their platforms.

SO THRILLED to see THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES on the Library Journal Best Books of the Year list 🧡💛🧡 https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/best-sf-fantasy-2023 (LOTS of amazing books on there, wow)

@older I read The Mimicking of Known Successes a couple months ago and then passed it on to my wife. I enjoyed the noir feel and the novel take on humans resettling elsewhere in the solar system. As a nice bonus, the central but understated romance was perfect for my non-aro ace sensibilities.

Iowa Senate File 538- gender transition procedures related to minors strips providers of Medicaid funding from Sept 18 forward and doesn't allow Medicaid to be used by clients for gender affirming treatment. If a counselor has a transgender client, and has used the gender dysphoria code and many others (7 pages of ICD codes) then they will be retroactively stripped of funding. I am so angry for clients and for providers. As a clinician, I feel so mad that states are telling transgender youth in lower SES that they can't be who they truly are, and now they can't even talk to a counselor. I just can't. @socialwork @Email2TootBot

So is this the deal with the new @eLife system:
1- you send your preprint
2- it is reviewed (if they so choose)
3- you eventually upload a final “version of record”
4- you send that version (+reviews) to another journal for publication

Has anyone tried that step 4? Do the “other journals” accept to publish something that’s already been reviewed & published by eLife?

Of course, you could skip step 4 but does having an eLife paper under the new system “count” for your CV?

@gpollara@med-mastodon.com avatar

@elduvelle I think it does. It's the equivalent of f1000 research or wellcome open research paper being accepted past peer review stage.

It's a public statement that the paper has changed to the satisfaction of @eLife reviewers, which in itself is a CV worthy achievement, personally.

A Sneak Peek at new linux distro Zorin OS 17

https://blog.zorin.com/2023/12/04/a-sneak-peek-at-zorin-os-17/

@linux

linuxdweeb ,

and KDE users didn’t even get anything new at all.

This is misinformation.

KDE users got a broken Nvidia driver.

jaeme ,

Zorin OS 17 isn’t going to dethrone Linux Mint any time soon. I wish they switched to following Ubuntu LTS releases instead of being on their own timeline. 22.04 package base is going to be 2 years old by the time this releases.

They obviously spent a lot of time on aesthetics and simplicity which seems to be the main appeal of the distribution.
