I've had a recent influx of followers related to some Snape posts that are making the rounds again, so I just want to make one thing crystal clear: JK Rowling is a reactionary dingbat and my love for my trans sisters is immeasurable. I'm not interested in "debating" this with anyone. Respect ALL women or fuck off.

Anyway, hi new people, welcome, can I offer you some Eileen/Minerva content in these trying times?

Y'all know that one post about how you should be grateful for clear nostrils while you've got them?

If you're single and have close friends who are also single, please take a moment for me to appreciate that. You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

whenever i get envious because someone i know scored a big career win i take a deep breath and remind myself that although i deserve it more and would do a better job, they probably got it by nefarious means that i would never stoop to

Update/shout-out to @marley-manson for the suggestion -- I finally got organized enough to try the Bluetooth transmitter linked in the notes, and it worked beautifully.

I also had a certified USAmerican moment when I opened the link, thought "Why does Amazon look so weird today?" and finally realized that the link was, of course, to Canadian Amazon. 😅

Andy addressed Garak/Bashir slash fairly often, but this clip is one of my favorites - I love the way he’s pretending to be so shocked and yet is so totally on board with it too.  He also reveals what activity Garak loves the most. ;-)

Transcript, because I’ve watched this enough times to almost know it by heart~

QUESTION: One thing I was wondering is why, is the reason why Garak is so friendly with Bashir–

ANDY ROBINSON: Did you hear the way she said “friendly” with Bashir?

QUESTION CONTINUES: …was because he might be attracted to him?

ANDY ROBINSON: (in a gleeful shout) WELL, OF COURSE! OF COURSE HE’S ATTRACTED TO HIM! (more conversationally) I mean, you know, let’s be frank here: Garak’s sex life is up for grabs! I mean, you know, Garak doesn’t have strict definitions about… you know… I mean, please, he has a good time! I mean, girls like to have a good time! Garak does–he doesn’t care what it is or who it is, as long as it’s intelligent, it can read, it can write, and he can have a conversation with it! Actually, Garak is turned on more by conversation than by anything else. The way to Garak’s heart is through conversation. There’s no question about it.
