I found a great hack to create a hard mode in cozy video games like Tiny Bookshop!
We've got a new pod episode out today about the Star Trek ENT episode "The Shipment" where Archer becomes bro-friends with a bigfoot Xindi. Plus guest Dr. Raychelle Burks joins us, mainly to be exasperated at the Enterprise crew's lack of proper safety protocols when dealing with unknown substances!
This video is excellent. And important. I know a woman who fell, could not get up, and lay there, alone with her dog, for three days until my mother happened to find her (she survived, barely). It is a truly horrible, traumatizing thing to happen to anyone.
I'm a big fan of Upright Health (many of his mobility exercises have been EXCELLENT for me), but I feel like this video (with the accurate yet clickbait-y title) is something a lot of people might benefit from seeing.
Dr Raychelle Burks was a stand-out guest and made this episode of our show so fun!

I turn around for one second and my cat has decided she is now a bok choy.
Many myths debunked in this paper. Paper finds that: -faculty partisanship has no effect on students -students ideologically sort into majors; majors don’t affect partisanship -faculty partisanship is uncorrelated with how left/rightwing course content is micah-baum.github.io/files/baum-e...
People: You can't just post one line from a song and expect everyone to know the song. Me: It’s been a long road… #MusicSky 🎶

Watching this and I was thinking how great the directing is, then got to the end and saw it was directed by Jeremy O Harris
Alden is so good at being sad
Exile was a good episode of Star Trek Enterprise because it inverted the plot of Beauty and the Beast in a clever way that shows the insidiousness of men who, because of their own sense of entitlement, use a nice-guy persona to entrap women into a relationship. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
We're on a second contact mission this week revisiting the Star Trek ENT episode "Exile." We get into a bit of a scuffle because @uajamie.bsky.social inexplicably defends this episode about an incel alien who creeps on Hoshi, despite @mariadsouza.bsky.social and Bill insisting on its terribleness.
Yes, it is true that I think the Enterprise episode about the alien incel who creeps on Hoshi is a actually a masterpiece. At this point, I assume I’ve just given in to Stockholm syndrome. There is no other explanation.

We’ve received a lot of messages from people concerned for @mariadsouza.bsky.social’s well-being since we made her watch the Star Trek Section 31 movie, but we assure you that her recovery has been going well. @darthemiras.bsky.social @trekmarrykpod.bsky.social
I was out of town last week and forgot to post about our bonus episode on the Section 31 movie! It’s a great one-off episode for those of you who are Star Trek fans, but who don’t listen to @enterprisesplain.bsky.social merely because you aren’t interesting in Enterprise content.
Our crew is heading out on an away mission this week to visit the infamously lowest-rated Star Trek project on Rotten Tomatoes, the TV movie Section 31. Of course, Jamie and Bill refused to actually watch it, and instead forced @mariadsouza.bsky.social to explain every moment of the movie to them.
It’s wild that the WPBL games are being aired on ESPN platforms, yet are nowhere to be found on espn.com. They’ve only have 1 article about it since it premiered and it’s just a schedule. They don’t even have scores for past games. ESPN clearly just does not care at all about women’s baseball.
I hate when I have friends visiting Chicago that have never tried Malört because then we all are required to do a shot of Malört. It’s the rule.
I’m visiting the art institute today and the north lollapalooza stage is right behind the southern edge of the museum, so I’m now looking at these Chagall windows while listening to Slayyyter perform.
We're brainstorming ways to support trans folk in biomed by forming more community and networking/mentoring opportunities Would folks be interested in a Discord channel to bring folks together? Or are there other platforms people would suggest?
I have a cousin who was a local politician in a small suburb, and was vehemently pro-Israel. For awhile he was essentially being scouted for higher office by christian right wing orgs because they wanted to fund a Jew to be the figurehead of their pro-Israel agenda.
I'd like to introduce you to Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States, yet somehow one that gets *completely ignored* when talking about the Israel lobby.
Yes it does matter that the vast majority of American zionists are christian because they're the ones providing the majority of the funding and lobbying the hardest.

48hrs ago this girl wouldn’t let us get near enough to touch her, and now LOOK AT HER
@uajamie.bsky.social and I found this abandoned kitten on Sunday. For the first two days she was constantly hissing and wouldn't let us near her. Now look at her! Her name is Tomato.

In today's episode "Hoshi and the Beast!," Bill tells us about the Star Trek ENT episode Exile, where Hoshi is packed off to a rain-swept castle inhabited by a creepy loner who promises to use his telepathic powers to help the Enterprise if she'll pretend to be his Canadian Girlfriend for a week.
This is a great read, and it's also a lesson. This is what everyone could be doing, at every level. This is the possibility open to every one of us, while every single cry of "we had no choice" was and is a cowardly lie.
In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...
I finally started watching Starfleet Academy, and I love the way the stakes swing wildly from one episode to the next between life and death scenarios vs worrying about who will get to be captain of a sports team, and both of those are treated as of equal importance. Teen drama is the best.
The Women's Professional Baseball League has announced team names and branding ahead of its inaugural season, which begins August 1. They are the Boston Hunters, the Los Angeles Queens, the New York Heights, and the San Francisco Firebells (elaboration on meaning/inspo in this thread).
