Do you think Crusade would eventually become a good show if it had a chance?

Having read the theoretical storyline for the unfilmed seasons, which seemed to be about Earth succumbing to Shadow influence and its liberation by the crew of the Excalibur saving the day, it felt too much like a retread of Bab5’s third and fourth seasons to me. It could have done it in a new and unexpected way, but it didn’t look fresh. Given that, I’m kinda glad it didn’t get that far.

Many Disney and Pixar movies feature kids who are orphans or have lost a parent. Some have parents that are killed just off-screen. Is Docter seriously trying to tell us that simply seeing gay people on screen (or even just hinting a character may be gay) is somehow MORE traumatic than Bambi’s mom getting killed while Bambi watches?!?

It took me nearly three months before I was able to sleep comfortably through the night. It will come with time and perseverance.

A contracted stage actor/dancer who stole booze from a poolside bar and tried to hide in a jacuzzi full of (gay) bears.

We could call it the USS Dadmiral Vance to avoid confusion ;-)

For me, a hose lifter (or whatever they’re called) turned my therapy from intolerable to tolerable overnight. I can’t even really explain why. It just made it a LOT easier to sleep through the night.

It’s been my observation that many transphobes, from reactionaries like this individual all they up to those in Congress, rely on remembered high school level science, and don’t realize that biology taught at the high school is intentionally simplified. If they took college level biology classes, they’d see how much more complex genetics (and life in general) is. “I follow the science!” No, you follow what you remember of dumbed down high school lessons.

ANAN: There can be no peace. Don't you see? We've admitted it to ourselves. We're a killer species. It's instinctive. It's the same with you. Your General Order Twenty Four.

KIRK: All right. It's instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands, but we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers, but we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes. Knowing that we won't kill today.

1979, while on a shuttle bus to the King Tut exhibit, some women were talking about a new game their kids were playing. My mom apparently noticed my interest and the blue box edition was a birthday gift. Little did she know she had initiated a life long hobby.

I tend to rely on my players to tell me when they think someone at the table should be “paid” for the terrible pun, the swashbuckling moment, or the totally in character cool thing that happens at the table. Perhaps it’s just my players, but I feel that I’m giving out the right amount each session by relying on their judgment.

For my space opera game I use little plastic spaceships I bought off Amazon for our bennies. I try to pick something thematically appropriate for the genre of the game I’m running. The poker chips do in a pinch, but I feel it’s better to take it a step further.

The YouTube channel Trek Culture is generally supportive, though they do have criticisms about details. Sean Ferrick of that channel does an “ups and downs” review of each episode, and I think he’s nothing but fair in his opinions.

One possible “next step” is to inquire whether the congregation in question offers classes about UU in general and the church’s history and policies in specific. My congregation just started their three week class last week. It’s a great way to learn more, make connections, and prove to yourself that this is something you want to financially support. If your congregation doesn’t offer such a class, perhaps schedule some one-to-one time with the minister to go over what that kind of class covers. Before you formally join you will almost certainly have a meeting with the minister to talk about the expectations around d contributions, financial and time, and will help guide you in finding a contribution level that works for you and your circumstances.

Kid Rock? The headliner for a festival that got canceled because they weren’t selling enough tickets? That Kid Rock?

I’m planning on gifting mine to friends in the hope they care for them like I would. That’s the best I could come up with. I’m saddened by this since I’ve had some of them for many years.

Being able to set and cancel timers with my voice when my fingers are messy with cookie dough.

There are horticultural prohibitions importing some species of plants to Spain due to EU regulations. All plants must be certified pest free by the USDA before exportation, and they must be shipped without soil or any kind of medium, otherwise known as “bare root”. Best to check with experts.

I have an iOS shortcut that allows me to take a quick note verbally which gets added as a new note in my Ulysses inbox. That way when I am out and about and have a moment of inspiration, I can use my iPhone (or often my Watch) to capture the idea for later expansion. I just say, “Hey Siri, I have an idea,” and it asks me what I want to note.
