I THINK IT’S DONE????!!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!
3 months of work and learning how to make cosplay armour (something I’d never done before) and now it’s time to be Krem at MCM London!

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it
My instinct is to agree with this, but like, when I really think about it…
No money, no credit cards, identification is all vocal/fingerprints/retinal, so no wallet.
Again, doors are voice activated, or just unlocked by entering a code. No keys.
Communication devices are tiny and stick onto clothing starting in Next Gen. TOS had bulkier communication that they carried around or kept in, like, packs and stuff, so the arguments for pockets is a little more valid, and if I remember correctly, those costumes did have pockets, tho I could be wrong about that. But anything post TNG, the point is moot anyway.
Tricorders and phasers are really the only thing anyone’s carrying around, and that’s usually on away missions where they’d be bring their packs/holsters or just have them out. I mean, who wants to stick a phaser in their pocket?
So, yeah. There’s not much little stuff people need to carry around everywhere. And if they are preparing for a longer journey or want to bring bulkier things, well…just bring a bag. It fits more anyway.
what if i find a cool rock and want to take it home with me
Every time a member of the USS Enterprise has found a cool rock and taken it home, it has resulted in eleven deaths, six temporal displacements, the holodecks breaking again, and somebody getting turned into a lizard. Pockets are a privilege, not a right.
Since we don’t learn squat in public school about sexual safety beyond PIV, I’ve asked the queer community in WA, USA for resources. Below is a master list of the recommendations I got. Some of these do not have proper language surrounding the existence trans people. As a trans person myself, I’ve left off the ones that are particularly bad about that. It sucks that we don’t have very many good resources that take our existence into account in their language, but here we are. Books (some have audio book formats)

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.
^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups
Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.
A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org
Signal boosting, the bell ringers are out in force, and this info is too important.
Just to add in case anyone didn’t know: Donating money to your local food bank is pretty much always one of the best ways to stretch a dollar as far as it can to feed the most people possible. [x]
Event/scene organizer’s #MeToo pledge:
I, [state name], promise to do my best to hold people accountable for sexual assault in my event/scene. To this end, I will default to believing survivors. I will not hire people on or take volunteers as organizers, bouncers, DJs, teachers, door staff, or any other event-related roles who have been accused of sexual assault. If I am accused of sexual assault I will continue to default to believing the survivor, and I will set the standard I want to see by immediately stepping down or going on hiatus from my role, signing up for consent courses with the intention of correcting my future behavior, and working with the survivor through a mediator or other accountability personnel to make sure I do anything I can to help the survivor’s recovery. I will not take a leadership or organizational role until that process is completed because the power of the social capital that comes with leadership makes coercion easy and accountability difficult.
I accidentally found this Umbridge and Miss Trunchbull photo shoot, and it’s terrifying

Bob Ross peeling contact paper is the most satisfying thing I’ve seen today
“Jesus christ eat the goddamn mac and cheese.” scowls the hero “I can hear your stomach growling through your armor, you know.”
The villain blinks “You-”
“Are feeding you, yes. If all I wanted to do was punch people and throw criminals in jail, I would’ve become a vigilante. Heroism involves kindness, dipshit.”
“Heroism involves kindness, dipshit” is the most amazing phrase I’ve ever read. I need to incorporate it into all my work.
