My current most boomer take is that millennials really did ruin a lot of things. The worst thing they did was validating being part of a "fandom" in your 30s and 40s as normal and not something to be ashamed of
i need y’all to not speak on disorders you don’t have or understand. the 3PM drop is not just “getting sleepy” or drowsy after eating, as someone suggested. it’s a chemical drop that (for me) was debilitating when unmedicated that i HAD to sleep — it was not voluntary. be quiet.
the self diagnosing girls on tiktok are trying to make getting sleepy at 3pm an adhd thing. my girl you just hit on one of the universal truths of the human experience. we are all getting sleepy at 3pm
if i had a nickel for every time michael emerson played an absolutely brilliant scientist with a traumatic injury resulting in a limp and an over-protective, crazy intelligent belgian malinois, i’d have 2 nickels. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

me watching everyone completely miss that dot and bubble wasn’t about gen z being on their phones, and was in fact about the dangers of white supremacist echo chambers created by tech companies with equally racist algorithms

ceremony already – David Tennant entered the hall with an extremely cute dog in hand, that he was supposed to be looking after for Michael Sheen.
i understand eye rolling at the popularity of adhd misinformation, but at some point y’all roll right into being armchair physicians. stop running your mouths if you don’t have the thing you’re commenting on. you sound so damn foolish.
“everyone gets sleepy at 3PM” wow amazing and how do you think that goes for neurodivergent people? do you think it might be worse? do you think it has a negative impact that necessitates medication to supplement the severe chemical imbalance? let’s use critical thinking here 💖
anyway if you want to watch a show where the whole series is secretly a test to see if humanity is worthy, BUT the message is that relationships are sacred, love is beautiful, and hope is the most important thing in the universe...may i recommend star trek: the next generation?

i’m gonna need you to do some research on systematic oppression and racism. saying we are “all women of colour” is disrespectful to people who have actually suffered from discrimination based on the colour of their skin.
whoever is trying to take down ao3 just guaranteed the success of their next funding drive. like congrats, all you accomplished was incentivizing all of us to pour money into that site to keep it safe. ooo you really showed them huh

your point is “people just like stuff, it’s not about politics” which is a completely bonkers response to a discussion ABOUT politics and how it relates to a deeply political franchise. star trek was created to be political. ignoring that is media illiteracy at its funniest
not watching succession but seeing people watch succession is so wild. they’ll be losing it in all caps and then it’s just a screencap of a guy making a face

dude you are repeatedly refusing to listen to disabled people who depend on others to do what they can’t. just because you don’t like those services doesn’t mean you get to ignore the fact that they’re needed and give people autonomy that they otherwise may not have had.
@haalasback
fandom was invented by trekkies in their 20s, 30s and 40s and is sustained by them to this day. here’s the foundational story of how that happened. cheers.
my hand to god, if kathryn janeway had been allowed to say “fuck” it would have been her most-used word on voyager. those characters didn’t swear because a network! didn’t! allow it! trust and believe every overbearing alien in the DQ would have been told to fuck off
the thing i love about

SO TRUE! i did say modern to try and differentiate it a bit, since the og trekkies started the tv fandoms that led to the x-files fandom and online fandoms that we know today. but yes of course!

okay RIGHT?! i can sleep 6-12 hours and still feel like shit. bloodwork? normal. iron levels? normal. we just do not sleep right or well because our little brains are racing VIOLENTLY. i’ve had the same struggles — remote is the only way i’ve been able to make a living.
The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized.

hello my fellow white people! before you consider commenting on a black creator not wanting to depict a school shooting in her COMEDY SHOW about a majority-black ELEMENTARY SCHOOL featuring CHILD ACTORS who would have to reenact it, consider this: shut the fuck up!
I don't even know what this show is, but the way powerful and influential people shirk their responsibility to promote good politics in their work under the guise of keeping art "pure" will never sit right with me.

i lived it. i lived the star wars
sometimes i think about how much star trek has scaled back on its queerness in the last year, and man does it make me sad. we went from overtly queer characters and relationships to vague queer coding, not to mention the breakup of trek’s only current wlw relationship.

??? jason momoa put so much of his own personal style (pink! scrunchies! silk! nail polish!) and beliefs about gender presentation into the role. you can’t just ignore the actor’s own personal gender expression choices in this discussion! it’s more nuanced than this!
they carefully cut the trailers around it, but in there's no denying that jason momoa's villain in fast x is basically a homophobic stereotype straight out of the 90s, he's made to be a joker-lite whose evil is coded as being effeminate; it's such a strange & alienating choice.
