An excerpt from Star Trek: The Fall: A Ceremony of Losses…
When the character of Bashir appeared he was merely awkward, and didn’t understand that no means no. In season 4 they retconned him. Since then we’ve been using him as a rorshack test and assigning everything not normative to his character that speaks to us. And that includes me. Somewhere between 10:08 and 10:25 he says, to the effect, that he’d shown up to a play where everyone but him had been given the script and attended rehearsals. That precise metaphor was burned into my brain long before I heard it articulated here. Others see in Bashir the ambiguity of their sexuality or romantic orientation...
I suggest watching this very well-written fic, enacted by our generous beacon of hope during lockdown, Siddig ElFadil, and seeing if somewhere in Bashir’s spectrum of “augmentation” you glimpse just a sliver of yourself.
Have you ever lied? Cheated? Have you bribed men to cover the crimes of other men? Are you an accessory to murder? Can you live with it? Can you live with it?
You guys, it’s happening! It’s starting!
Everyone else needs to get on Andrew Robinson’s level

GARAK NATION WAKE UP
im currently doing this
RUMOR: Andy Robinson is apparently finally going to be able to record an audiobook version of "A Stitch in Time" his Garak novel from 2001! Apparently told a fan at a convention this weekend TODAY it's in the works.
If anyone's interested in reading it, it's available as an ebook. Finding a physical copy is difficult and expensive.
Now we’re talking!
Quoth the daughter of Benjamin Sisko and Kassidy Yates:
We need a DS9 episode where strange occurrences keep happening at 3 am causing the main cast to have to get out of bed and investigate STILL in their pajamas. Also there is no power so they have to walk around with flashlights. also they think that it's ghosts. also i think that Odo should wear pjs too and it turns out he just materializes them at night to fit in.
this is the pajama HC so far

Julian wears something slutty. I just know it.

Cancel your trip to Risa and book passage instead to Deep Space Nine, the most sapphic outpost in the Alpha Quadrant!
