“lieutenant commander jadzia dax is a trill, a humanoid species that attains its fullest realization in symbiotic connection with a species of large, long-lived slugs called symbionts. a trill is also a musical articulation created, with an instrument, by the rapid alternation of two tones, either a whole or a half tone apart, or, with a voice, by the rapid vibration of one speech organ against another. a trill, then, is a singular musical motif created by the contiguous motion of two distinct notes or organs. it is simultaneously mobile and arrested, present and absent, ‘a sound locked in movement.’ likewise the trill are, in their fullest realization, a plural species, two distinct organs creating a unique and fluid singularity. the constant transformation between the two voices/organisms constitutes the fragile yet durable continuity of the t/Trill.”

saw an article about how the water crisis in catalonia is causing problems for british travelers' annual spain holidays by 'forcing pool closures' and just the fact that water crises are positioned as annoying inconveniences for wealthy people on vacation rather than a very real problem for The People Who Live There Always is such a perfect example of how classism is applied on a global/international scale. i couldn't give less of a fuck about a brit's spain holiday being ruined, tell me how the water crisis is causing problems for locals and how tourism is exacerbating the issue.
