She glories in being a horrible human being. It's like some sick badge of honor for her.

So Odo discovers Kira is the murderer and she gets off Scott free and keeps her job as 2nd in command? 🧐

@allstartrek

DrOinFLA,

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek
Yeah, but Kira's nose ridges are hypnotic.
No Changeling could resist that.

Don't mind me, just designing a syllabus for a course on Sexuality, Gender, and Incarceration sitting at a lesbian bar wearing my "Be Gay, Do Crime" earrings and using the insights of a renegade trans researcher on how to make a better syllabus.

?

DrOinFLA,

@JoscelynTransient
Yeah, that syllabus wouldn't make it past my university's accessibility checks.
They're pretty hardcore on that.

DrOinFLA,

@JoscelynTransient
I wasn't trying to dump on your post; I enjoyed the creativity.
But when I was a grad student 15 years ago, a syllabus was one page, with some due dates and a booklist.
My syllabi are now 14 pages, filled w/ "mandatory language", & it has to pass accessibility checks, like color contrast, logical reading order, headings and subheadings, etc. I don't mind making things accessible, but it's all gotten out of control.
Honestly, I'm getting burned out and can't wait to retire.

A hard-boiled, badass Boston detective prone to cursing and a snobby, sherry-drinking eminent psychologist join forces to bring the worst criminals to justice while fighting nobly against the obvious sexual tension between them.

:bc: Attention Beige Party-goers! :bc:

There have been a lot of questions about Threads and Meta lately, so for the record I want to say that yes, Beige Party has defederated from threads.net. This was not based on any particularly strong opinion about it on my part, but as a result of asking my users what they would prefer. The majority of responses were to block threads.net. Most of the questions and comments I've gotten in the past week seem to reinforce that previous decision.

Please keep in mind, however, that blocking threads.net only prevents communication through ActivityPub channels. Everything we post on Mastodon aside from DMs is public and can be used by anyone for pretty much any purpose. So if Meta decides to scrape all of our public data, blocking threads.net is not going to stop them.

The advantage that Mastodon has over proprietary social media software is that we don't collect your personal data in the first place. That means that whatever information you choose to share about yourself is entirely under your control. Just please keep in mind that everyone on the internet, including unscrupulous billionaires will be able to see it.

Thank you, stay safe, and Beige-bless :bb:

Here in the U.S., it's hard to believe that this is what we're up against, but guess what?
This is what we're up against.

In his far-off home John Mastodon...
Heard how Grendel filled nights with horror
And quickly commanded a boat fitted out...
So John Mastodon
Chose the mightiest men he could find,
The bravest and best of the Geats, fourteen
In all, and led them down to their boat;
He knew the sea, would point the prow
Straight to that distant Danish shore....

DrOinFLA,

@nuncio
In the style of Johnny Cash, of course.

DrOinFLA, to Cats

Happy , everybody!

Mood: PISSED THE FUCK OFF
🤬
Five years ago, our original home insurance company policy cost $2,400/yr.
After they abandoned the state (FL), we had to insure with Citizens, the DeSantis state-subsidized company of last resort, which last year charged us $4,800.
Now Citizens is depopulating clients b/c companies are beginning to come back.
We have to choose between 2 companies, at $5,400/yr, or $5,800/yr.
This is fucking ridiculous.

We just watched Studio Ghibli's "The Boy and the Heron".
The cinematography & attention to detail in its aspects of realism are, as always, great.
The story is rather convoluted, & starts slow, but patience reveals themes of learning that the beauty of life also involves pain & loss (coming of age), importance of human relationships & kindness, and the need to end Japan's Imperialistic Era in the mid-1940s.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, we used to smoke pot and have Roman candle wars.
It's amazing no one lost an eye or caught on fire.

That time I took my girlfriend to the movies, and instead of putting my lumber in the tub of popcorn, I put an eyeball from the butcher shop.
