(This post is brought to you by the fact that tumblr are, hilariously, claiming that 50% of current users are gen z, and i wanna see how accurate claim that is.)
@leaving-earth requested the least seen movies. So here we have a list of the top 100 films that tumblr users reported as having heard of but not having seen per results on @haveyouseenthismovie-poll.
TW: A couple of films famous for racism are on this list so please enter at your own risk.
Hey. Look at me. Please leave yourself a note somewhere you'll see it later that says "it is going to take years if not decades to get the United States government to the level of functionality it had in November of 2024." If we elect a democrat in 2028, we are not going to be up and running by 2032.
Please make sure you have a reminder in your phone reminding you to not look at 2028/32/36 Democratic candidates and say "why are they not promising/delivering Cool Shit?" because you are going to understand that to get Cool Shit we must have competent people running a decently funded government, and we are not going to have that.
We are not getting UBI. We are not getting single payer healthcare. We are not getting free college or free preschool. We are not redistributing wealth on a large scale. We are not getting free internet. We are not getting ranked choice voting.
If we are lucky, we are going to get an IRS that can collect taxes, qualified schoolteachers, research grants, Social Security, and a government that thinks maybe it should be a priority for people around the worlds to not have AIDS, malaria or TB.
English. I thought I dreamed hearing it. Where am I?
New Headcanon:
The "official" language of Starfleet is Earth English because it was the official language of the Earth Starfleet when the Federation formed, and that became the basis for the Federation Starfleet.
However, as the Federation grew and Starfleet diversified, it became impractical to expect so many non-Earth species to learn English, so the Universal Translator in operations became standard (as seen in Prodigy).
HOWEVER, SOME Starfleet members do learn English and the translator lets those through...though THEN you might hear certain accents, if the specific person has that accent but still speaks English (Picard, Troi, Scotty, Pelia, and the occasional non-human who has an "alien" accent).
The majority of people we hear speaking English on later Star Treks are not speaking English, but the default English pronunciation unless the computer detects certain factors is the accent originally programmed into the UT by Hoshi Sato.
Kira's ancestral home on Bajor translates roughly to "Long Island," and the UT got confused.
In 2024, scientists discovered seven new species of frogs in Madagascar. Because the whistling sounds these species made resembled the sounds of communicators from the Star Trek universe, it was decided to name the species after the seven legendary captains: Boophis kirki, Boophis picardi, Boophis siskoi, Boophis janewayae, Boophis archeri, Boophis pikei, and Boophis burnhamae.

So, meet the Boophis kirki I needle-felted for this year's Winter Fandom Kombat! ✨
How has no one tagged the frog guy? @markscherz

@theonyxpath released Titans Rising to backers today, and it contains literally my favorite thing I've ever put into a book, ever:
I had forgotten that I gave Ea-Nāsir a canon sexuality.
P.S. I can't believe no one has called out the social media platform mentioned in this.
Only because I was asleep!
Hehehe

friends, if I can give you one piece of advice for those of you who are new to work, or are about to enter the workforce, especially if you have any sort of office job:
Do not work on your days off.
"But--"
DO NOT WORK ON YOUR DAYS OFF.
Do not work on your breaks
Do not “answer a few emails” on your vacation
Do not work off the clock
Doing this doesn’t reward you with more money or whatever. It rewards you with more work.
