oh and while i’m vindictively putting text posts in the star trek tag instead of doing my essay i might as well lovingly retread an overdone topic

it is SO BEWILDERING that the ds9 writers were SURPRISED about shippers because i swear to god

they give?? each other??…

My impression was that the writers were neutral-to-supportive on G/B, but it was the higher-ups (like the network execs and that homophobic shit Rick Berman) who threw fits when they found out about the shippers. I could be wrong, this is an old fandom for me.

“I always laugh when my husband Reyvn Sadri tells me “But I don’t deal in stolen goods. “That’s trouble I don’t need.” The poor dear has no idea he’s married to the person who assassinated the Emperor and now runs the Dark Brotherhood. Baby, fence all the stolen goods you want. If anyone gives you trouble, it will be… handled.”

Chuck Hagel and the Hegelian Dialectic

What has been completely overlooked is the relation between Chuck Hagel’s philosophy and that of his distinguished ancestor, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the most systematic of the post-Kantian idealists in nineteenth-century Germany. In brief, Senator Hagel may be said to subscribe with such zeal to the Hegelian dialectic that the usual Washington big mouths have had to take crash courses in the work of that famously forbidding philosopher of history. Hagel’s link to Hegel is such that the Magritte painting “Hegel’s Vacation,” in which a glass of water stand precariously atop an open umbrella, would apply to either of them. Sources close to the candidate are leaking the rumor that he plans to be sworn in with his hand on The Phenomonology of Spirit rather than the traditional Bible.
I suggest that the question be put directly to Senator Hagel, who has never been a shilly-shallying sort. Do you believe that “history in general is the development of Spirit in Time, as Nature is the development of the Idea is Space”? And what, sir, did you mean when you said that “America is the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s History shall reveal itself”?

I wish my uncle the philosophy major were still alive, he would find this hilarious.

One of the things no one mentions about pet birds is that they hold conversations with you. And I don’t mean like… mimicing back. I mean. They’ll sit and talk to you. It’s equal parts creepy and cute.

And I don’t mean ‘human words talk’. At least not with my ‘tiels. But this is a fairly regular…


Back when I had a cockatiel, he used to go nuts with the dinosaur noises whenever I talked on the phone. I think it’s what the voice on the other end of the line sounded like to him. Plus he would bob his head a lot. GAWD it was so cute.
