Honorable mention to Tarkalean tea

Yeah…GrubHub is so fucking expensive that I’m surprised they’re still in business.

I didn’t change my name. My perspective is that my identity doesn’t change just because I got married. My name has been mine since birth and it’ll remain that way.

Shine on, you crazy diamond

Ooh yeah I’ve heard people speak highly of The Orville, and I keep forgetting to check it out! If I’m not mistaken, it’s got Penny Johnson (Kasidy Yates) in it, right?

Ugh… I’ve been so reticent to watch modern Trek. I’ve heard such bad things about Discovery and have never been tempted to try it. But I really love the TNG era, so I gave in and watched Picard season 1…man, that was a mistake. Too modern, too snarky, too fucking meta. I swore off modern Trek. But then I read loads of threads saying that SNW was a return to form, and that it felt the most like Star Trek out of all the modern series. So even though I knew I might hate it, yesterday I watched the first three episodes. I’m already so annoyed with it. Super meta, the cast is for the most part way too young, and it’s loose or completely disregarding toward canon (yeah, Spock and T’Pring having sex without Pon Farr… give me a break!), and plotlines that make no sense at all. I’m so annoyed with it. I get that '80s/'90s TV was too earnest for today’s audiences, but SNW feels like a parody of Star Trek, not a worthy successor. So far, nothing feels like actual high stakes. There really isn’t serious drama that I actually care about. When shows are too snarky and meta, it makes it really hard for me to connect with them.

I do recognize that first seasons can be rocky, so I’ll at least stick with it through the end of the season. But I can’t lie, it’s off to a terrible start. I wish we could have shows more in keeping with the tone and themes of TNG and DS9 (or even Voyager!).

Just a hint of beans!!

Bitty is a treasure!!

I’m from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that’s reasonably correct?

I’m from New Jersey and have never heard anyone unironically say “youse guys”. Side note we also don’t call it “Joisey”.

I have zero paifs of underwear.

She just loves my big ten inch

I think the point is he won both the popular and electoral. In 2016 he lost the popular vote but won the electoral anyway.

Cheese.

And blatant hatred.

Maybe you shouldn’t be seafood if you don’t want to be eaten by cats. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Redbud. It’s got such pretty blossoms and the leaves are a really pleasing shape.

Plus birch beer is awesome
