@Coffee_and_Salt You will, in fact, need Earl Grey, hot. You may need to change the laws of physics. And I highly advise that you start loading the photon torpedoes.
@Coffee_and_Salt RED ALERT! We just finished season 1 of "Picard"! If you give it another try, you need four boxes of tissues, a pillow to hug, and some Earl Grey!
@Coffee_and_Salt Just imagine a dragon/tardigrade hybrid. They could take over the universe!
@Coffee_and_Salt Snakes and monitor lizards - including komodo dragons - are descended from one of the biggest mosasaurs, Tylosaurus.
And if a female komodo dragon goes long enough with no others around, she'll just get pregnant! And the baby will be male so that they can start breeding.
@Coffee_and_Salt Yeah, TNG came out when I was in 5th grade. They don't know it, but those actors all helped raise me through their characters. I see how old they're all getting and I'm like, "Nope. Nobody's aging. And even if they are, I still want to look like Doctor Crusher. Nobody. Is. Old. I'mma go read a book with LeVar Burton!"
@Coffee_and_Salt We're probably past halfway through season 1. Bring a box of tissues. It's not a big intro that pulls you in and then settles. Pretty sure the whole season is just the upward climb at the beginning of the rollercoaster.
@CrypticMirror I don't know your story, but I don't have to know it in order to know you aren't useless or not as good. Because I'm not useless or not good enough - even if my abusers tricked me into thinking that - and you are made from the same stardust as me. And we are made from the same stardust as everyone we ever wanted to "be more like". You are amazing, and I'm sorry society taught you otherwise. You deserve much better.
The necklace means a lot more than just what it means on "Picard". I recognized the symbol immediately and my autistic brain started info dumping all the ways it could apply to the story. And his autistic brain knew this was a particularly personal level of special interest, so he quietly bought me the necklace.
Y'ALL! Okay...I know we're late on this, but my husband and I recently started watching season 1 of "Picard". This has been very emotional for me so far. Not just visiting those characters again, but also the stories being told about family and trauma.
He bought me the necklace! The one Soji and Dahj wear!
@KodoAndSangha I latibulate regularly. Why did it take me this long to learn there's a word for it???
Were you ever spanked, yanked, cranked but finally thanked?
Manipulated by the nips, tucks & WTF’s?
Laugh tracked & gaff wracked until totally whacked?
Beat down, beat off, back beat unto retreat?
Face boxed, Twatter rocked half tracked on the Substack?
If so, welcome to CoSo
Ain’t none of that here
Breathe in, breathe out, relax
Have a soda or a beer
Swing on the porch
Swim in the pool
Go exploring with a torch
Or learn like it’s school
Bard with a ukulele. Friend of Lake Monster. 93% stardust. Autistic. Fabulously weird.
