Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

  • Wanted to go to a trade school for welding when I was a teenager. Mother said no, because “you’re going to college”

    I kept asking for help figuring out college stuff, mother kept saying “I’ll help you tomorrow/next week when I have time” (she was technically a substitute teacher but usually worked 1 day/wk)

    Graduation came and went and I had no money saved up, no colleges looked at beyond what my limited googling skills could come up with, and absolutely no help from my parents with anything.

    Good news though, since my parents collectively made enough money, I didn’t qualify for financial aid of any kind! Did I say good news? I meant bad.

    And of course my parents lived paycheck to paycheck and we got EBT or medicaid for most of my childhood.

    Now instead of an education or a trade that’s in demand, I have depression and a shitty 15/hr job that is destroying my joints.

    Ain’t life grand?


  • If he ever gloats about having a degree, I’ve had success with tossing back “in order for me to feel insulted, I would have to value your opinion”

    Its made two relatives block me and my mother in law call several relatives to cry and moan about how evil and manipulative I am because when she responded with multiple gigantic run-on paragraph/sentences in a row, I hit her with “lol. I ain’t gonna read all that”

    People who take pleasure in how much better they believe their lives or decisions are typically can’t stand it when someone else doesn’t fucking care




  • It’s great how in the same comment section, you’ll have someone telling you that you are a CIA shill, someone telling you that you’re a dumb conservative, 15 people calling you a liberal, two people going on at length about how you deserve to die because you were born in the “wrong” country “have inherently evil ideals”, half a dozen using any way they can to make your country’s name something negative, and once in a blue moon you’ll have someone telling you that your enemy isn’t the person on the other side of the screen, it’s the rich.

    That last guy gets called both a fascist CIA shill* and* a dumb tankie.








  • 8 comes close to me last night.

    Snow starts at noon, by 130 we decide we should leave for the 3 hour drive home.

    10pm, after 7ish hours of driving, 5 hours of darkness and 6 inches of snow, passing cars spinning off the road, carefully picking lines around accidents to avoid deep snow, assisting two drivers with a jump-start and a gallon of gasoline, and a very slow ascent up a steep hill while tires screaming to be replaced… We are home.

    And that was after me not being able to sleep since 1130pm the night before due to insomnia.

    It’s been a fun 36 hours.
