I have a lot of interests and a bunch of half-baked hobbies that get set aside because it is more immediately rewarding to watch/read/listen to others talk about their own interests and hobbies. Star Trek, politics, maps, travel, music, games, tv, drawing.

Jordan Chiles just did a Beam routine to Float On by Modest Mouse, 9.85, and I was enthralled. There was a little "phone dialing" move at one point? Spectacular. We'll all float on, indeed. Also, UCLA is crushing UofM at Beam, sorry Wolverines.

🗣️🗣️🗣️ I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHO I AM‼️‼️‼️ Ska cover of Iris By the Goo Goo Dolls? Fun fact about this one! I first attempted it in 2019 and logic crashed and the project wouldn’t reopen for years So I’ve had this one on my mind forever, and now it’s done! youtu.be/Nb8-2vhkulk?...

“Cake for everyone” I say to the bartender. She gives me a funny look before pulling a table-sized sheet cake from a low shelf

“WTF dude?”

It sucks living in the universe where Biff has the Almanac

So, I haven't purchased anything of value in a while, and all of my bills (mortgage, utilities, etc) are in my spouse's name. I found out this evening that I, Nate, have no credit! I am in my 40s and will have to have my spouse co-sign a car loan! Where is my credit history? What happened to it?

Wait...✋

I'm hoarse from saying "what the fuck" too much

You are seen. You are loved.

The people who helped me with my application, back before the election, didn't really help me. They told me we didn't need to submit a form we definitely did. My application is still in process, 3 months later, and now it is in limbo, I guess? I thought I was ahead of the curve this time, too. Boo.

Behold: My unified Terminator Theory of parenting through the Trump Era into the apocalypse he has created for our children. ...I'm serious you guys, I wrote a whole thing on parenting through this nightmare. My latest in @thenation.com

Bring back the word "collaborator" in its most complicit sense.

Sorry I'm just in a really bad place right now (United States)

The loudest voice is often the one you should listen to least. Words of hate, of bigotry, are meant to drown out reason and fairness, to sow confusion and hostility. Listen carefully, not to those who would oppress, but to those who speak against it. Even a whisper can be a roar of defiance.

Touch grass. Now touch stone. Now touch water. Now spill blood inside the glyph. Now light the brazier

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

Disco Bones! #StarTrek

If you see this, post a GIF of your favorite Disney animated film.

Dukat is funny because the writers made him say campy cartoon shit like "destroy Captain Sisko and the Federation once and for all" while Marc Alaimo brought so much genuinely frightening egotistical creep energy to the role.

Kind of a long title but this movie sounds wild

This video has brought me such joy. I can’t stop singing the song lol. It feels like a forehead kiss 🥹

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

“Joy is resistance” hits when you realize that misery is what they want and what they feed on

There are days when it seems there is no hope, that the world is falling into an abyss of injustice and despair. Do not let those days end your resolve. Rather let them strengthen your drive to overcome, to undo those wrongs, to stand on the righteous side of history. It is not easy, but it is just.

I went out today in my old Army PT shirt and my Veteran's Health ball cap, with my very most Trans-themed button up, short sleeve overshirt, cause it takes all kinds of people to run an all volunteer army, even people like me. Proud to be visibly trans, and, damn! They're working hard to stop me.

Character limits are why people wanna nix the Oxford comma. I get it now. It is taking up real estate and maybe it doesn't need to be there all the time. I need a moment to reconcile with this revelation and what my new understanding says about my integrity, about me. *internal conflict deepens*

Fuck is this awful, reading it painful. I am making a very ugly face; I feel it in my lips & brow. Bad EOs will spew out of these bigots, but fuck them. EOs aren't laws. Call your reps, try these scripts, then tell everyone you know to do it, too. Trans life, rights & joy for everyone forever.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

first time a crew loses someone in the spill zone their assumption is always: it's gonna be damn near impossible to recover them. except then you send out a few teams and all of em come back with the body. one team has two, saw a dozen more out there. then you start noticing the little differences
