Occultists and sex workers are natural allies because we are both ideal background extras whenever a scene calls for an air of disreputable luxury.

can’t find the post that’s already circulating about this now but there really is no medical privacy in star trek whatsoever. imagine if a stranger walked into your doctor’s appointment and asked for your medical details, your doctor obliged without question, and then the stranger demanded you be killed. bonkers

the rest of this scene is hilarious btw

Other people have already pointed this out in the notes, but this show was released from 1987-1991 and HIPAA, the federal law that establishes doctor/patient confidentiality, only passed in 1996.

Doctor patient confidentiality did not exist when this show aired.

So many of the rights you think of as sacred and fundamental and universal and permanent are younger than the average millennial. So many of your legal protections are tacked together with the legal system’s equivalent of tissue paper and elmer’s glue.

idk man Clarence Thomas pulling the ladder up behind him striking down affirmative action yesterday, the fucking gay wedding web design ruling wasn't even real it was hypothetical someone really said well no one has asked me to design a website for their gay wedding but if they did wouldn't that be fucked up and the court just went whoa yeah that's so fucked we can't let that happen, and then they're like well we've all been receiving bribes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for years but we can't forgive 20k worth of student loan debt that's just crazy... like everything is just so absurd I can't really wrap my mind around it

truly my LEAST favorite form of advertisement these days is the faux-tiktoker/influencer who is here to Sell Me Something. the “omg unbox my Pureology (TM) skincare haul!!!” “doing the #NespressoChallenge!!!” “you guys will not BELIEVE what i got from shein-“ like its scary. its WEIRD. not only do i have no idea who these perfectly manicured, babytalking people are they feel less like real people than even an actual advertiser does. stop trying to make me believe you are my friend. you are something inhuman to me. you are a changeling. you are a brand wearing ill fitting human skin and i see its skeletal shape shift beneath the surface.

when i was post op after top surgery i had a good friend there with me to help recover. but the nurse didnt get the memo and when i woke up she was like “ok i’m gonna go get your girlfriend and bring her in to see you!” and i remember being so zonked on anesthesia and so disoriented i just laid there thinking wow…… all that an they’re bringing me a girlfriend too this place is amazing
