This Is A Friendly Reminder To Never, Ever Publish Your Book With A Publishing Company That Charges You

This is a friendly reminder to never, ever publish your book with a publishing company that charges you to publish with them. That is a vanity press, which makes money by preying on authors. They charge you for editing, formatting, cover art, and more. With most of these companies, you will never seen a cent of any royalties made from sale of your book. A legitimate publishing company only makes money when you make money, they will never charge you to publish with them. If a company approaches you and says "Hey, we'll publish your book, just pay us X amount of money," tell them to go fuck themself and block them.

I apretiate people who try to back up their head canons for vulcans by saying "well it's very logical" but my siblings in christ vulcans are as logical as sigma males. As traditionalists who say that we've being doing things a certain way for ages and we will continue doing it no matter how harmful it is.

They never were quiet logical and never will be because the core of their culture "purging emotions" is already dumb as fuck. Literally this idea sounds as "we were using our hands to slap each other, well to eliminate violence let's cut our hands!" bro, for real???? Their whole purge of emotions looks like teenage boys screaming no homo after doing even the slightest good thing or touch their male friend. "You're being emotional!!! - Oh no, well, you see, it's actually pretty logical you're just dumb to understand it"

And it leads to the same old prejudices and stagnant traditionalist culture. Do you really want to look me in the eyes and say that "well yeah instead of founding the way to suppress pon farr or at least make it less dangerous let's continue with this fucked up tradition where women are essentially a sex object that we will be fighting for to death!!!!". Or that being bigoted towards people that show emotions is logical? Or letting kids bully a biracial kid because of course he's lesser than us is logical ?????????

Vulcans have a perverted sense of logic, always had, and to me saying that "of course they will do it because it's logical" is to fall for their propoganda and not to see that they're dumb af most of the times

I think people forget that Consensual Non Consent isn't always ropes and force. It can be cute and sweet and functional like any kink.

Fun fact about me: I am highly averse to the sensation of water on my skin. I am autistic and it is a sensory nightmare that I can't describe.

And in the last few years as both personal and global circumstances have worsened, my ability to tolerate it has severely declined and I became detrimentally avoidant of showers.

To the point where, my partner and I decided (I asked him and he agreed) that he would assume control of my showing habits. He would tell me when shower day would be, and he'd get in there with me, to help me through it and make sure I actually did it.

It is very much a CNC situation. I literally whimper and beg him not to make me do it. And I also have a safe word in case I really can't do it.

This system has improved my general well being dramatically. I literally just cannot force myself to endure the extraordinary discomfort.

But he can. And then he cradles my head on his chest as I whimper and occasionally actually cry during the first few minutes when my nervous system goes the most haywire.

We usually do not have sex. We're very touchy people so there is a lot of cuddling and a little groping, but that's not the central point and it very rarely ever results in any kind of prolonged sexual activities.

Because kink is not just about sex. Kink can be accommodating. Even the "scary" kinks like CNC

i think if you asked harry kim if he was attracted to men he’d be like “maybe but i’ve got too much other shit going on to worry about that right now”. if you asked tom paris if he was attracted to men he’d clench his jaw and stare off into the distance for a long moment before being like “… no”

Rewatching DS9 and I forgot how annoying Bashir was at first. Man both masked and masc-ed too close to the sun. I would die for him.

a two panel lower decks comic. in the first panel, beckett mariner is frowning and pointing forwards. Next to her, edited to be her speech bubble, is half a tumblr textpost reading "if anyone makes fun of you for saying okie dokie, you will kill them. good luck". in the second panel, sam rutherford is smiling and giving a thumbs up. next to him as his speech bubble is the second half of the textpost, reading "thanks for the order boss i will try my best!"

my irls have got me watching a lot of star trek lower decks recently. this is my takeaway
