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.

    The characters in the comic are terrorists.
    

    Just like almost every depiction of arabs, muslims or people with brown skin in general

    Uhhhhh I think that says more about what media you consume. I haven’t seen an Arab stereotyped as a terrorist since like 2015. In fact, most of the TV I watched for awhile was specifically portraying “US law enforcement sees all Middle easterners as terrorists and treats them poorly and it wasn’t any of them that had anything to do with the bad thing of the episode”





  • Also is it really a good time to tell Americans that they need to be disarmed when the vast majority of us are having a hard time with a fascist federal government and police forces who refuse to do their job?

    This is my biggest issue with anyone preaching gun bans and the like.

    I am actively encouraging my lgbtq+ and other minority friends to arm and train, and have had a few over to my personal range (basically my back yard in the country with a big dirt hill surrounding a couple steel plates) to practice with because they don’t feel comfortable going to public ranges. (deep red country and likely to encounter bigots with guns and bad attitudes)

    Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
