I Do Love That Scene In The Man Trap Where Uhura Chastises Spock For Not Reacting Emotionally To A Dead

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

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.

Yeah I'm crowleyposting after a bunch of star trek followed by a week of silence, what of it.

Oh so you're just gonna tell me that aziraphale and crowley were literally just standing (floating?flying?) there before the beginning right next to each other watching the big bang happen together. Ok yeah ok sure I'm normal about yeah ok yeah I'm alright (I'm not jesus christ).

Crushing on her deadbeat dad's gay middle-aged enemy who also assassinated her grandfather 😭

I love ziyal cringe-fail moments. crushing on her deadbeat dad's gay middle-aged enemy. dropping out of art school. admitting collaborating with the enemy and getting herself killed. girl what were you doing 😭

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.

I know we all like to talk about Kirk grabbing Spock's arms in the "not in front of the klingons" scene and how it's something he normally does before kissing people but like, can we talk about how Spock does the same to Kirk at the end of Amok Time because I for one cannot stop thinking about it.

Like, what were you going to do there Spock? Were you going to finally do with your captain what you know he's done with all those people who you wished were you?? Were you going to grab your captain by the arms and kiss him on the lips in an expression of pure, illogical, unvulcan joy and love??? Did seeing this man alive fill you with so much relief and elation and oh so human affection that you couldn't help but mirror what he would do if put in your position with someone he loved as much as you do him???? Gay.

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.

One year gone

One year of killing civilians

One year of bombing hospitals

One year of bombing schools

One year of destroying a whole city

One year of starving people to death

One year of making people leave their homes to live in tents

One year and still the world just watching us dying

One year thousands are missing under the rubble thousands arrested with unknown future

One year of thousands of children lost either one of their parents or both

Thousands lost parts of their bodies

I can’t imagine this will continue for a year

Fuck this world fuck everyone
