stop scrolling!

this is absolutely urgent.

we’ve only got 20 days until the repeal of net neutrality goes into effect! do not forget about this issue! it will affect every single person who uses tumblr and other social media!

Now, there is a bill that would reverse the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality. We only need one more vote to make it happen! Get to calling your senators, folks! Don’t let these greedy, laizzes-faire assholes take away the web that connects us all, provides coping mechanisms, and platforms that inform the people.

Since this will get shared forever,

THE REPEAL GOES INTO EFFECT APRIL 20TH!

I work at a bakery, and occasionally we make display cakes for our case just to demonstrate our skills and show what we can do for our clients. So I got to do this, just for fun, and I thought it turned out pretty great so i’m sharing it with all of you! Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night, entirely in buttercream.

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it

My instinct is to agree with this, but like, when I really think about it…

No money, no credit cards, identification is all vocal/fingerprints/retinal, so no wallet.

Again, doors are voice activated, or just unlocked by entering a code.  No keys.  

Communication devices are tiny and stick onto clothing starting in Next Gen.  TOS had bulkier communication that they carried around or kept in, like, packs and stuff, so the arguments for pockets is a little more valid, and if I remember correctly, those costumes did have pockets, tho I could be wrong about that.  But anything post TNG, the point is moot anyway.

Tricorders and phasers are really the only thing anyone’s carrying around, and that’s usually on away missions where they’d be bring their packs/holsters or just have them out.  I mean, who wants to stick a phaser in their pocket?  

So, yeah.  There’s not much little stuff people need to carry around everywhere.  And if they are preparing for a longer journey or want to bring bulkier things, well…just bring a bag.  It fits more anyway.    

what if i find a cool rock and want to take it home with me

Jim, some rocks ARE too big.

I am finally located between two major cultural centers and I have a disposable income so naturally none of the opera houses or theatres are playing anything I’m interested in.

But Love Never Dies and Taming of the Shrew are playing nearby, just in case you thought the universe had stopped mocking me for a minute.
