"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many." --The Doctor #DoctorWho #s07e06 #AGoodManGoesToWar

I saw an animation recently... Two friends get powers and one says, "I can't wait to start saving the world together." The other responds, "But the world doesn't need saving. It just... needs to be fixed." I don't know if we're there yet, but we're on our way. And that's scary to think about.

While it's great to see trans people getting acting roles in movies and TV shows, we still need to get past the apparent requirement that they pass. Being trans isn't about passing-- it never was.

I was asked about the vibe of #YourName It's emotional, nostalgic, earnest, semi-romantic. It's slice-of-life, with the twists of something more. It's sad and joyful. It's not knowing you're lost and finding yourself through another's eyes. It's everything and nothing like you expect. It's life.

(1/2) I would never worship a god that would send someone to an eternal lake of fire to be burned forever for the simple fact of non-belief when that deity knows what it would take to convince every single person on this planet.

There's treat others how you want to be treated, and there's the treat yourself as you treat others. Most people are very kind. Like, "you're nicer to me than you are to yourself." If you said the shit you say to yourself to me, we wouldn't be friends. #JimmyCarr

I worry that violence is coming. I worry about the people who are looking forward to it. I worry about the people driving us inexorably toward it. I find myself thinking about Luthen Rael's talk on sacrifice and what deeper meaning that might come to have for some of us. I worry.

In this moment police officers and departments have an incredible opportunity to witness what we think of them by way of ICE/CBP and to learn from it, but too many are thinking, "well, we're THAT bad." The truth is staring them in the face and they refuse to learn. #ACAB #ICEOut

There is no such thing as the present. Because of the speed of light and sound, our bodies abilities to sense things, the delay for our brains to process those senses, and the delay for us to react to the information... we never experience the world as it is, but always as it was.

Starting #Friday off strong with an impassioned discussion about how to cut sandwiches (sliced bread vs sub) and how the cut of a sub doesn't actually help with consuming it.

If you've been sick and are finally getting better, is it "everything is downhill from here"? Because downhill isn't good when it comes to health, but uphill doesn't make sense.

"'I love myself' is sometimes spelling 'Goodbye'. And when the time comes to love yourself really well, just know it might take you a good solid year to stop crying about all you have to let go." --Andrea Gibson

"This is the weirdest thing to say, but if I die, Meg's gonna really need me to support her through those feelings. Like I can't stand the idea of not being there for her through that." -- #AndreaGibson, #ComeSeeMeInTheGoodLight

#Andor has many good lines, but #Nemik gets the ones that make you think. Right behind him is #MonMothma. "The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it." "When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."

My reply to a #BBC4 #ImSorryIHaventAClue prompt of "thing you can say in the bedroom and when assembling #IKEA furniture"? No power tools? This will take forever. #InYerEndDo

"A poster? You mean, like, a pin-up poster?" "It's a poster that's pinned up... Are we saying the same thing?" #NumeraUna #AdAstraPerAspera #StarTrek #LowerDecks #StrangeNewWorlds

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

Every time there's an #earthquake in the #SF #BayArea you can immediately tell who didn't grow up here. Just look for the people #UmActually explaining all the factors that go into how earthquakes feel to people who are nonchalant about what they felt.
