With the exception of my favorite ever Anon who apparently thought I was French, I think a lot or most people who follow me know that I’m a lawyer in the US.

A lot of my friends are federal employees. A few of my friends are federal prosecutors. One of my friends prosecuted January 6th cases.

My group text with my friends from law school is a very bleak place right now. I am sad and angry and scared.

But I don’t intend to change anything about my tumblr. I know a lot of you, like me, come to tumblr for a break from The Horrors. And we come to look at pretty pictures and laugh at shitposts and talk about our blorbos. And then we put down our phones or close the browser tab and go out and do what we can in this rapidly deteriorating hellscape.

I found the beginning of the most recent episode of Vibe Check to have some useful perspective. The hosts were talking about how your outrage has value and how the current president is an outrage-machine who is banking on us burning out to diminish resistance. I recommend this podcast in general but this episode in particular.

So that’s what I’m doing. My blog will continue to not have politics or news on it. It’s not because I’m not following or because I don’t care. I am and I do. I’m just not doing that on tumblr. I have asks open, at least for now, and DMs are always open. You’re welcome to stop by and say hi.

Chin up friends. My blog will be here when you need a break.

❤️❤️ Miro

thinking about Data & Deanna Troi, who may look like polar opposites on the surface (one feels everything, the other feels nothing), but they both recognize in the other the experience of being unique and surrounded by people who feel regular emotions. yes i say unique for Deanna too because she does not experience telepathy like her fully Betazoid peers either, she's the only human-betazoid she knows, just like Data doesn't know anyone with a brain built like his, not even Lore. and the way Deanna and Data try to understand each other is different from the way their human crewmates try to understand either one of them. the care and respect with which they both approach the other's perception of the world is what makes their friendship so special to me.

#oh I love this#and prev I’m stealing your tags ->#also tbh i imagine being around data is very restful for deanna bc he's quiet#being an android her abilities don't work on him#i have always thought any kind of psychic ability on a starship must be exhausting#at least vulcans only get the worst of it with direct contact but deanna's abilities don't need that#it must feel so so loud#and being around data is a respite#and she offers data a different kind of understanding in return#<-#deanna troi#data soong#tng#star trek

That’s such a fire fighter thing to do.

My dad used to design kitchens at Lowe’s and one day he got a dude from one of the national labs looking to buy a countertop. Dad sent him home with a sample of a quartz-composite countertop to make sure the color will look good with his existing cabinets. The dude asks my dad what the composition of the countertop is and whether it’ll melt if he puts a pot on it (since it’s a composite and not pure stone) and Dad gives him some rough numbers and reassures him that it won’t melt if he puts a hot pan on the counter. The dude comes back with week later without the sample. The dude gives dad a detailed list of the countertops composition, to the nearest hundredth of a percentile, and the exact temperature it melts at, because he took it to his lab and melted it down. tldr, it’s not just firefighters.

Imagine giving someone a sample of the granite you use to make countertops and they come back a few days later just to tell you they fucking dematerialized it

Ok, but this is just, like, what people do if they have access to equipment. We just… put shit in it. Just to see. At this point, I’ll try and hit just about anything with an arc, just to see. I’ll sand and polish anything you’ll let me, if I’m bored enough. If I had a machine that could melt something down and tell me exactly what was in it? I’d be just waiting for parts of my world to become “trash” so I could de-materialize it and turn it into knowledge of what it was.
