We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that.

Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate.

If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.

The Tintin and Haddock meme. They're at some kind of bar and the captain looks very stressed out and nervous. Haddock: "Good lord, what a year!" Tintin: "Captain, it's only February 1st."

I hate living in "interesting times".

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Listen up, MAGA.

To my mutuals and everyone who goofs off with me on here, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You. You’ve made the year wonderfully memorable.

From the Orion family to you, whoever you are, wherever you are, happy holidays. 🖖🏻

Love this so much. 💜

I have just been informed it's #startrekday over at #treksky and beyond. Here's a bunch of thingies I drew, especially of the Lower Decks crew!

Illustration of T'Lyn from Star Trek Lower Decks giving the "Vulcan Warbird" flip off gesture.

I wanted to post this drawing of T'Lyn giving the reverse live long and prosper, something she probably picked up from Mariner, I drew for #startrek day because I still love #startreklowerdecks and I had a nice time meeting the voice actress Gabrielle Ruiz at a Star Trek convetion this weekend.

I will not fight for Starfleet. But I will defend its ideals. Pacifism is not passivity. It’s the active protection of all living things in the natural universe. - Hemmer

One thing that I'm really glad that #StarTrekLowerDecks did, or rather didn't do, was force a romantic relationship between Mariner and Boimler in the final season when they work so much better as friends.

Not every show needs to have main characters become a couple.

I can't stop thinking about these people risking their lives to save this city and the people in it who voted just a few months ago to keep them working in these unimaginable conditions

[A Tumblr post by thoughtportal] The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it. In other words: the intolerance are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance. Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and they are intolerance should not be tolerated. [Footnote:] Inspired by “tolerance is not a moral precept” by Yonatan Zunger [A reply by commasameleon] Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now. Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox of Tolerance and I am floored by it simplicity and angry that I never saw it before.

I’ll always love this corollary to Popper’s Paradox.
