Julian: “His memories are real. The only way I could remove them is to wipe his entire memory and clearly that isn’t an option.”
Like three episodes ago you could precision target the memories of Worf’s brother to let him forget his family but not his overall skills and culture and I don’t even know which of the two is the worse episode!

Hey guys I know you don’t mean anything by it but I would really like you to stop sending me long, upset messages about things in your life you can’t control with an ending like “sorry I just needed to rant.” It really just goes to show the way we don’t see people online, especially people we percieve as “popular” as real people with feelings. If you have a problem and need advice, or if I have said earlier this is a topic I welcome messages about, that’s one thing. I’m happy to give advice or comfort if it’s asked for. But I’m not a dropbox for your anger or sadness or hurt feelings. I’m not an online forum or a therapist. I get hundreds of messages a day, and among them are paragraphs of anger and heartbreak from people that hurt me to read, because yeah I’m a little too empathetic, and yeah it hurts me when others hurt. I can’t handle the weight of everyone’s grief and anger.
If you wouldn’t, without warning or lead-up or even a hello, text your friend three paragraphs of explicit anger or heartache and then leave with nothing else to say, why do that to a stranger? There’s a person on the other side of the ‘submit ask’ button. Please remember that.
Let me be clear that I am happy to give advice and listen to your problems when there’s something you need to ask or think through. I’m just not a dump for your unfiltered anger
Dumb question can we tell you if something great happened? To sort of brighten your day like: Guess what I got a dog! Or I got a role in a play I was working so hard to audition for! Because sometimes I need someone to tell that everything is going great!
Not dumb! I LOVE hearing from y’all, really!
This is primarily one of the main reasons I’ve kept my inbox off for so long and have stopped engaging with a lot of my social media, cause while I love hearing from people and I absolutely 100% wish each and every single one of you all the best in life, and hate that so many people are in pain and suffering…it was literally destroying my mental health to open my inbox and just have people treat it like a dropbox for their sadness.
“dear Joy, I’m on the verge of giving up, dear Joy, everything is hopeless, dear Joy I know you probably don’t care but…” like the most depressing letters to Santa ever.
Every day, hundreds of times a day. And as much as I want to read them all and reassure you that you’re going to be okay, it was causing me real emotional and mental distress to such a point where I ended up having to talk to a crisis counselor for me. The suicide baiting, the death threats, the constant harassment, none of that shit got to me the way the emotional burden of people using me for free therapy did.
And just like @vampireapologist said, yes a lot of us hare happy to talk to you, we’re happy to chat and offer advice if you ask! But please also be aware that we are real people with our own emotions and our own shit we’re trying to deal with as best we can. Kindness operates both ways.
As in everything, consent is key. The fact these popular, kind, empathetic souls seem so open and loving (spoiler alert: they are) does not mean they are always up for carrying emotional burdens. The fact that they have listened before does not mean they can now.
Please, please, ask first.

Tonight’s painting is an opossum. With four eyes. Drooling flowers.
I was obsessed with opossums in second grade and drew them endlessly in cute dresses hanging from their tails for several months at least because we read some cutesy story about them.
I didn’t use the blue!

These birbs BEE BEST at snatching prey midair. 🐝 As their name suggests, bee-eaters dine on bees, wasps, and hornets, as well as other winged insects. They rap the bee’s head against a branch until it stops moving, then remove the stinger and venom sac. With its meal prepared, the bird tosses the bee up and swallows it in a single gulp. Learn more about these crafty birds who are meant to BEE in our new Africa Rocks Aviary.

A true (perhaps) story

King Gustav III, slighty later in the evening: “and then afterwards i had sex with the stable master, he such a hottie! Does that count had having sex with my wife perhaps? By proxy? What say you?”
Advisor 1 & Advisor : *on their quick way towards alcohol poisning*
Referencing this classic gossip item of 18th century sweden
(this was a story sent out in pamphlets and so on around the kingdom. It was. Something many people spent alot of time considering back then. We all get our kicks in different manners….)
It is talking about the marriage between King Gustav iii and his wife
Some more about this classic story of 18th century swedish royalty who are just really bad at having sex with eachother:
Qouted from wiki
Adolf Munck entered the Swedish royal court, where he became a close friend of the king, Gustaf III. In 1775, he was hired by the king to assist him in the consummationof his marriage with Queen Sophie Magdalena; he was to act as sexual instructorfor the couple. The King, claiming to be sexually inexperienced[2][3] called upon Munck to help him with a reconciliation with his spouse and instruct the couple in the ways of sexual intercourse[4][5] and to physically show them how to consummate their marriage.
Munck, a Finnish nobleman and at the time a stable master was at that point the lover of Anna Sofia Ramström the Queen’s chamber maid.[6] Through Anna Sofia Ramström, he contacted Ingrid Maria Wenner, who was assigned to inform the queen of the king’s wish, because Wenner was married and the confidant of the queen.[7] Munck and Ramström were to be present in a room close to the bedchamber, ready to be of assistance when needed, and he was at some points called into the bedchamber.
Munck himself writes in his written account, which is preserved at the National Archives of Sweden, that in order to succeed, he was obliged to touch them both physically.[4][5][8]
This “aid” resulted in the birth of the future King Gustav IV Adolf in 1778. These favors resulted in a great scandal when they became known. Munck was widely spoken of as the lover of the king and the queen. When it became known that Munck participated in the reconciliation between the royal couple, there were rumours that he was the father of Sophia Magdalena’s firstborn.[2]

Axel von Fersen got around
The dude who was ALSO rumoured to have been the lover of Gustav III, was also heavily rumoured to have been the lover of Marie Antionette
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_von_Fersen_the_Younger
Did his dick hold some sort of “regicide will happen to you” curse???
That is the facial expression of someone who got a cursed dick, knows it, and is not gonna let that stop them!!!
Cursed Dick Energy
The lynch mob which killed, was if i remember correctly, stockholmers angry about the murder of King Gustav III by the noble man Ankarström
And so, Axel von Fersen, too fell victim of his own cursed regicide dick
I remember incorrectly, he was killed by an angry mob pf stockholmers, but they were angry that the then crown prince Karl August had died.
He died of a stroke, but the crowd was just SICK of all these heir of the throne problems after the murder of Gustav III, so they just
Murdered Axel von Fersen???
So in the end, Axel von Fersen was a victim of his own cursed dick energy
Auch poor axel, just wanted to sleep around with everyone, and then one is turned into a scapegoat!
(also, Swedens powerful of that epoch sure seem to have thing for sacrificing people as scapegoats for things they really had collective responibility for. and therefore leading 1 individuel into a gruesome death…. The gruesome public execution Ankarström, the murderer of Gustav III, too come to mind. Ankarström was actually a part of a parliementarian conpiracy towards the king, but it was decided to just make a exemple of Ankarström, and basically leave the others unpunished)
