HAPPY TEN YEARS TO “TWAS I THAT SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE”

[initial reactions] Star Trek Discovery 5x05 - Mirrors

  • I'm really glad that Rayner objected to Michael putting herself in danger like that because he was right, she's the ship's captain. I get why she did but also I'm glad Rayner objected because it is his job to keep Michael safe. Especially asking they bring security details. It's the right way to do that.
  • I love the remembrance of Spock as Michael's brother.
  • L'ak as Breen. Interesting, finally getting to them after all these years.
  • Finally more Bridge crew interactions, more natural back and forth and seeing the bridge crew hang out together.
  • I... am unfortunately not that into the love story of Moll and L'ak and I usually love a good romance.
  • I hope we still see Owo and Detmer after this episode.
  • It's a nice run of it but 10 episodes and crunching it all together unfortunately doesn't make me invest in Moll as a character. I can see what their intent. It just feels like if they had more than 10 episodes they would have the runway to build on Moll.
  • I wish Michael got to see goatee Mirror!Spock. I just want Michael to see Ethan Peck!Spock one last time.
  • Again -- it's sad that the moment they finally nailed down the formula Discovery was canceled.

Every trek show requires:

  • Costume designer who is an unrecognised genius in their time
  • Objects raided from other sets to save money
  • Modern fashion injected into an episode which immediately dates the series
  • Flirtatious looks between the Captain and their First Officer

I keep seeing people online say that any job offering unlimited PTO is a "scam", because it's reverse psychology and you'll actually take less than normal, or that the manager still has to approve it and won't actually allow more than a few weeks.

I'm sure this can happen, but it's not at all a given! My husband's job offers unlimited PTO and he takes a cumulative average of 6-8 weeks off every year. Management is totally cool with it because he's a good worker who gets his projects done on time, and he's considerate by not taking off during the few weeks of the year that his team crunches for deadlines.

Don't scare people into avoiding jobs that offer good benefits in case they might not pay out. Instead, teach them to ask the right questions during interviews so they can gauge accessibility:

  • What are common reasons a PTO request may be denied? What's the criteria to be approved?
  • What's the average amount of time your teammates take off every year? (This will tell you how realistically you will get to take off)
  • How often do you (the interviewer) take advantage of the PTO policy?
  • Are there any exceptions to the "unlimited" policy, such as certain weeks of the business year, or length of consecutive PTO days taken at once?
  • How long does a new employee have to work for the company before the unlimited PTO policy kicks in for them?

Remember, you're allowed to ask questions during interviews! Use it to your advantage. And don't avoid jobs just because someone told you the benefits are too good to be true.

This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞

The email from Wattpad is so condescending imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑

Hey I just wanna quickly say that you only get these if someone reports the story. I've barely updated on Wattpad in the past two years and haven't gotten any of these, mostly because I don't even have an audience over there who has the potential or drive to report my fics. So, corporate greed is bad, yes, but it's also readers being buttheads

Hmm, that's interesting! You know what happens if someone reports a story for being incomplete on AO3? Jack shit, because not churning out content for your fun little hobby is not a reportable offense on AO3! And that's because, unlike Wattpad, AO3 isn't profiting off of your work, either directly or indirectly, and so when readers are buttheads, the AO3 abuse mods ignore them, instead of sending out weird automated messages harassing writers for daring to have a wip.

Common interior design mistakes: having a crummy house. Try having high ceilings with big windows, this will make your space feel airy amd inviting! Lots of extra rooms give you places to store things and reduce clutter in your living space. Consider having a view of the city skyline or perhaps the ocean, this will give your home a peaceful and sophisticated mood. Easy tips that anyone can follow!

Okay writing like this definitely exists but as someone who tried my best to write blog content* for companies that would actually be useful to normal people, here are some actual tips:

Put up a mirror across the room from your bedroom window. Mirrors reflect light and improve the light coverage given by what little your window has to offer. Even a cheap back-of-the-door hanging mirror from Walmart will help.

Additionally, mirrors make a space feel bigger because they reflect the space back on itself and trick your brain into not thinking there's a wall there. The more mirror, the more effective. If you've got free wall space on the front of some sliding closet doors, those are great spots to install frameless mirror.

Paint your room a light color to make the room feel bigger and more open. Dark colors absorb light and make the perimeter of the room feel like a void that's encroaching on your space

Avoid letting furniture cut into your limited floor space as much as possible. If your bedroom is small, put your bed into the corner - don't put the head against the middle of a wall; the secondary aisle space is unnecessary and wastes precious floor space. If you need a surface on both sides of the bed for two people to set drinks and stuff, consider installing a small wall shelf beside the inner half of the bed (somewhere it won't get in the way or get knocked into when sleeping). Also consider putting the far side of the bed against a wall with a window so that the windowsill can be used for setting things.

*this job was hell on earth and I'm never going to be normal again

These are a few staple pieces of advice that I used repeatedly. If anyone is interested in more, normal people interior design and layouting is something I'm really into and I can add more

I don't know if I like the idea of Janeway being in Wolf 359 battle against the Borg.

I've always had it in my head that she was far from that event, she was somewhere else when it happened. I don't think I'm including that information that while serving (apparently) on USS Bonestell.

It doesn't feel right to the Janeway we saw on Voyager and how she is with the Borg in Scorpion 1 and 2.

It's not like how finding out Janeway was a Cardassian war vet actually put the puzzle pieces in place.

Janeway in Wolf 359 though? Doesn't make sense, IMO. So I'm not including it in my personal canon of Kathryn Janeway.
