Hi! I'm an adult nerd (she/her). I have plenty of nerdy interests that’ll pop up here, with Star Trek Deep Space 9, Power Rangers (1-17), Star Wars, and Gwen from BBC Merlin being the biggest current mainstays.

today on science twitter.......

an article about the incident. michael eisen is jewish and has israeli family and they fired him for "siding" with palestine

I feel like I'm slowly going insane with how this kind of thing is playing out. The mildest of takes ever is suddenly a career-ending problem if said mild take shows any compassion to Palestinians. I'm genuinely shocked at how fast this ramped up and keeps on ramping.

repeating @ktempestbradford's tags because they bear repeating:

#free palestine #and in case it's not clear that does not mean I'm antisemitic #the State of Israel is not the same as the people of Israel and is certainly not the same as all Jewish people everywhere #I support the right of everyone not to be bombed or shot or imprisoned or taken hostage

Okay, I finished the main images that have been plaguing my brain, so help yourself to: Gondor-Rohan Weddin Day, AU Edition

BROTHER HONOR GUARD

Also details because we all know I love symbolism: Eowyn's carrying Theoden's sword, and she has a Gondorian medal of honor and seabird-wing necklace, while Faramir has a Rohanian crest.

After all the tragedy and trauma, you know--you know--Boromir and Eomer would spend all day being stupid giddy and trying to start shit to cover up for it.

With help from Merry and Pippin

Get him, Eowyn

Who's that in the crowd eyeballing the Third Marshal of the Riddermark?

Final shot for everyone who's obsessed with Boromir's awesome hugs

Okay I have to stop for now or I'm gonna miss a plane, byeee

Oct 27 (Reuters) - Striking Hollywood actors have made a comprehensive counteroffer to the major studios, the SAG-AFTRA performers' union said in a post on social media platform X. Negotiators for the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the group representing Walt Disney (DIS.N) Netflix (NFLX.O) and other major media companies, meet again on Friday, the actors union said. Ahead of Friday's talks, a group of SAG-AFTRA members published an open letter to the union leadership, urging the negotiating committee to continue fighting for improved compensation, royalties and workplace protections. "We have not come all this way to cave now," wrote the group calling itself Members In Solidarity. "We have not gone without work, without pay, and walked picket lines for months just to give up on everything we’ve been fighting for." The latest counteroffer submitted by the actors union on Thursday comes after media companies and the union representing striking U.S. actors returned to the bargaining table on Tuesday.
