So today I watched this interview with the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast and they demonstrate the phenomenon "space ship acting"
and they all go
and it just cracks me up, ESPECIALLY Sir Patrick Stewart
I love when they just throw themselves across the room
Jonathon Frakes said that once during one of these scenes Patrick Stewart leaned over to him and said “I’m a Shakespearean trained actor you know”

trust the ancients to make a fashion statement out of straight cloth and nothing but pins
Wrap Yourself In Blankets, Call It a Day
Wear blanket. Conquer world.
That last one looks dope
Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.
And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

This sort of clothing solution wasn’t just for the Mediterranean, or northern Africa, either. Behold the Belted Plaid:

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.
Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi
It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.
I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

Your friends watching something for the first time and getting to that scene VS you, the knower.
i do just want people to be aware that, while "assigned sex at birth" has been widely reclaimed and generalized to general populations, it did not start through personal identification or as a positive term. it was coined between doctors to discuss what sex to surgically and socially assign intersex infants, children, and in some cases, adults. one example of a study using this term is here, mostly inspired by john money [its a heavy read if you decide to open it]. i do just want people to be aware of the history of this term before claiming that it is "coined by the intersex community"—it wasnt, it was forced on us by the medical community.
when i see (mostly cis) progressives talk about abortion rights, they'll sometimes mention trans men (or anyone who isn't a cis perisex woman) in passing but then IMMEDIATELY go back to using language doesn't include anyone who isn't a cis perisex woman. this is not good enough. you *need* to change your language around abortion rights (and anything considered womens health in general.). don't just mention us once in a while. your exclusion of us in your advocacy *literally* kills.
