rightful heir is insane for the Implications. okay so there's this guy who was cloned from leftover DNA of the real kahless (with you so far) but also he's got fuzzy memories of being the real kahless implanted into his brain (?? okay...?) and he was just woken up/brought into existence at the exact moment the priest guys needed him to appear (when worf shows up, the main character of klingons) so this is really his first moment of being a person and he's In It, he's ready to GO right away. no learning how to walk, no confusion, no "hey guys what's been going on since i died", and he's ready to overthrow the current government DAY ONE. nope don't tell him anything, he already knows your chancellor sucks and the klingon spirit is corrupted. and he knows about worf's childhood moses moment where he/kahless appeared to worf to tell him to sparkle on it's worf wednesday my dude (very specific memory) but he can't remember details of his famous stories (are we saying his worf-related memories are real because worf really was the believer who brought his spirit back? mixed in with some good old fashioned priest cloning)

BUT he's a shit fighter. i mean he's not terrible but he's not mythical godlike warrior levels, so he does have some physical adjustment stumbling, but only when pressed. his weakness should have been like. learning how to digest solid food. not advanced combat. i mean don't get me wrong that's a very klingon weakness but it still raises a lot of questions. and kahless 2 has ZERO questions about this whole scheme until he loses to gowron in a fight. if we go with the Implications and assume this is the spirit of the real kahless dropped into his clone's body, the rest of this guy's whole deal is wild!!! he's just vibing! he's having spiritual awakenings certain human religious figures could only dream of achieving. even if we DON'T buy into the true reincarnation aspect, he's still the genetic clone of the klingon people's greatest hero with all the knowledge of the klingon religion in his head. like a factory made condensed klingon heritage all in one guy. which has gotta be a fun time for him (not really). his personality is Honor and his occupation is Faith. and he is technically a BABY.

and then worf is like "look idk if i believe in reincarnation (maybe haha) but i do believe in causing problems, let's see where he's going with this" and makes him a figurehead emperor. and of course by this point 2 fast 2 kahless is starting his "maybe i really am a fake" journey (which should've happened when he first heard someone sneeze and freaked out) so he just goes along with it. anyway. maybe the real kahless was the Implications we didn't fully explore along the way.

quick tell me a random fact you know that you wanna share but didn't have the opportunity to.

we swim in the ocean even though there are most definitely corpses in it. we do not swim in pools that have corpses in them. therefore, it can be concluded that there is an acceptable water:corpse ratio for humans to swim in.

Imagine how fucking balls to the wall amazing a Hobbit Seder would be. It's all the things Hobbits love. You sit around a table for an excessively long meal, you make your seat extra comfortable, you tell lots of stories and sing songs telling those stories, and you eat and drink so, so much.

And you just know 18% of the time, Gandalf is standing there when you open the door for Elijah.

sorry but i simply cannot take anyone seriously with this argument. being horny is not a crime. acting inappropriately toward another person is a different thing from simply perceiving them in a way that scratches your brain. but you cannot make sexual thought crimes (thot crimes) a thing without it leading down an EXTREMELY homophobic, transphobic path of "the WRONG type of person PERCEIVED ME and I DID NOT CONSENT TO IT." sometimes you will be perceived by people you personally are not attracted to, and i'm sorry, but that alone is not a problem. you do not need consent to find another person attractive. being horny is fine, actually. get over it.

Some ppl are like "I'm a kinky sex-positive pervert freak!!!" and then make fun of virgins and asexuals..... sure, reclaim freakiness but keep working on that because teasing ppl for their sex lives (or lack thereof) is, unfortunately, very normie mainstream vanilla behaviour. the right to sexual determination includes NOT having sex. 101 shit. Like this isnt subversive dude, it's using the edge of an ideology for bullying

Passover seder at UC Berkeley’s Gaza solidarity encampment (via twitter)

"On July 26, 2014, the nineteenth day of Israel’s 2014 summer assault on Gaza, I saw a large group of Israelis on the news marching in the streets of Tel Aviv waving Israeli flags, encouraging their state to continue its bombardment of Gaza while chanting in celebration: In Gaza there’s no studying No children are left there, There’s no school tomorrow, There’s no children left in Gaza! Oleh! Gaza is a graveyard. Calls for the killing of Palestinian children, the destruction of their schools, and the transformation of their home, the Gaza Strip, into a graveyard are not confined to the chanting of angry rightwing nationalist mobs, as some might argue in an effort to dismiss the acute danger of such spectacles and the messages that are implicit or explicit in such displays. High-ranking Israeli officials and policymakers also speak this language of the mob. In July 2014, Israeli lawmaker and justice minister Ayelet Shaked posted the text of an article by Uri Elitzur, the late Israeli journalist and advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to Palestinian children as little snakes: 'They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.' In calling for the genocide of the Palestinians while simultaneously animalizing their children, the justice minister’s rhetoric goes hand in hand with that of the mob – there shall be no schooling in Gaza because no children must remain there. ... Keeping Palestinians living as dogs, as [Moshe] Dayan stated, or labelling them 'little snakes,' as Shaked did, are acts rooted in the violent formation of the settler-colonial state. This language presents a classic case of blaming the victim. It animalizes the Other in order to normalize and decriminalize genocidal acts against them. ... Inside Gaza, an unending process of displacement and dismemberment is the way of life, amounting to an ongoing genocide."

Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.

Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:

Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?

All I want is for Julian Baumgartner to apply that isolation layer to my brain. It’s not that difficult of a request.

Why did you include neopronouns in your linguistic course? If you did, I hope you specified that neopronouns are neologisms (at least in English) and that pronouns are a pretty closed class category of words in English.

i really hope you didn't intend this to seem as condescending as it turned out <3

In the middle of the 5th dynasty of Egypt, the tomb of two men who would become one of the most famous same-sex couples in ancient history was built. The tomb of Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum was uncovered in 1964 and has been a fierce debate topic ever since. They have been said to be twins, lovers, brothers, and close friends. These two men and their relationship with each other became most controversial long after their deaths.
