everyone on the Enterprise loses their memories and they each look at Riker and immediately think "well one thing's for sure: I'm boning that guy"

In practice, "they should just move!" is just the liberal excuse for abandoning trans people. Nothing more.

if you're interested in a demo of having a concussion, you can also get some of this gameplay experience by doing EMDR and temporarily (god let's hope) fucking up your brain in that way

My problem with democrats refusing to say genocide and instead saying “I think what has been done to the Palestinian people has gone too far” is that it implies there’s a medium level of killing Palestinians that is reasonable.

this is how it feels to try to throw a punch in a nightmare
