"Oh These Twins Are Different Genders But They Look Similar So Clearly They're Actually Identical And

For your consideration.

Ok but consider: this could work both ways! Julian recognising Garak's stitching/technique on a recently fixed piece of clothing or fabric. I also don't know when this would take place or why and how Julian would get his hands on something garak patched up or what stitching would be as recognisable as surgery techniques but the idea won't let me go.

listening to the a stitch in time audiobook has me deep in the garashir trenches again and I'm thinking about my favorite mash episode where hawkeye goes to battalion aid and everyone is wondering if he's dead and they can't get through to find out and then bj recognizes his stitches on a patient so they know he's alive

anyway idk when or where it would take place but I am rotating the idea in my mind and may come back to it

Made an impulse purchase. Going back tomorrow to buy the big enterprise with money I don't have because there is something wrong with me.

Also there's something to be said about the way they approach the doctor striving/demanding for people to recognise his autonomy and rights and the way they approach the same thing with, for example, data.

Everyone who treats data as less than human is portrayed as clearly wrong and often downright evil and while the doctor does also get his fair share of plotlines that affirm him being an equal to the humans around him, for every such plotline there are multiple throwaway jokes and off hand comments that basically read as "look at the silly hologram, he wants to be treated like the sentient being that he clearly is", often by characters that the narrative wants us to like and see as morally righteous and while I'm sure that was never intentional it does seem like a reflection of real life attitudes towards disabled people and other minorities.

Namely the shockingly pervasive Notion that, in the case of disabled people, they only deserve accommodations if they're nice and kind and happy and never ever do anything to even mildly offend or disgruntle any given abled person they interact with.

To use datas portrayal as an example yet again, if data offends someone it's almost always due to his lack of understanding of social norms and never portrayed as bad or malicious by the narrative, only misguided. Because data is "nice" the only people who deny his rights or autonomy are villains or quickly proven wrong. The doctor on the other hand, while not a bad person, can be conceited, rude, snarky and sometimes even a bit of a dick and while, again, I'm sure it's not intentional it does feel like the fact that he dares to have an attitude that's anything other than beyond reproach is part of the reason why the narrative doesn't seem to want to grant him his rights quite as easily as other characters both within and outside of the franchise.

Yknow I really wish voyager didn't treat the doctor's frustration with his limited mobility & being treated like a non-person like he was being ridiculous because. He was right. And nobody ever took him seriously what the hell was that about

I'm gonna have to start actually keeping up with current events just so I won't experience the whiplash of finding out about them through destiel memes.

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

cursed to love 90s movies and blessed to have an absolutely flawless Max Grodénchik radar. Paused apollo 13 in front of my family so I could point at 3 pixels on the screen and say "rom. Rom is here everyone."

This is one of the worst things I've ever made.
