One of the messages of #DS9 is that the Federation's idyllic future came from hard work and sacrifice after some very dark times, and that maintaining paradise requires continuous effort, but that #StarTrek's progressive, humanist future is worth fighting for. Send Tweet.

Split this into two videos because it’s too long for Twitter, but this is an excellent explanation (from a doc) of why “health & life” exceptions are bullshit https://t.co/ygCyKO0cK4

"I don't like to talk about politics" Just say you don't want to talk about important things because politics is a foundational component of society that permeates every aspect of our lives

NFL owners getting called before Congress for sexual harassment, sued for denying decades-long paternity, guaranteeing contracts for guys with five dozen sexual harassment accusers, sued for not hiring minorities, and sued for throwing games. Good crew you got there, @NFL.

@njhochman If you change your sociopolitical beliefs because people annoy you then you don't actually have sociopolitical beliefs. You have anger toward people and you're using politics as an excuse to be against them.

Let me remind you that one of the kindest things you can do for yourself during a heat wave is to put Reese’s Cups in the freezer. Then when you come in from the blazing outdoors, you’ve got yourself a lil treat. ✨

@Athens_Grease Someone put it best when they said when you buy a house, you’re essentially buying rent control for 30 years.

what they don't tell you about writing is that 99% of the time it is awful and no fun and then 1% of the time you feel absolutely high doing it and it is a total blast and because of that 1% you will never stop even if you have zero idea if you will ever experience it again

A hill I will die on: unpaid internships are classist, and whilst you might *think* you are "helping students gain experience" all you are doing is widening the gap between those that can afford to and those that cannot.

Mandated security training. Proivded example of a malware email is one claiming you have been given a bonus for your hard work and dedication. (Seriously.) Because the company will *never* do that, and you ought to know better!

Do “boring” things great. - Follow up when you say you’re going to - Give thoughtful feedback - Show genuine interest in others - Hold yourself accountable - Be a lifelong learner This will separate you from others. Don’t get bored with the basics.

No one tells you this, but as a writer you don't have to aspire to be great. I for one am very comfortably settled in to being an okay writer. Most writers are just okay. That's fine. There is nothing wrong with being the third best cheesesteak place in town. People still go.

I didn't write Wonder Woman, but if you want to argue that she is somehow not a queer or trans icon, then you're not paying attention. Every time someone comes up to me and says that WW helped them while they were closeted, it reminds me how special the role is.
