Cast out of heaven before admittance
I found you beside the river.
There I learned heaven is not above us,
but the work of love on this earth.

Your fingers dipped in shimmering gold
split a trail down my swollen lips.
Red runs over radiant knuckles
and my chin remains held.

Lt. Commander Mag Zilber shares in the time honored Starfleet tradition of ship's engineers loving the age of sail. She invites the much older (but new) Romulan officer, Ensign Setak, to the holodeck to experience a part of human history. But it doesn't take long for the two of them to get distracted and the game changes—

U.S.S. T'riall Season 1 Episode 3: Laugh'd to See the Sails Conceived

What does a materialist need mysticism for?

I don't have a good answer for you; however, while describing the interactions of clouds of particles can be beautiful in its own right, I can't help but get lost in the sublime when faced with a golden sunrise or the laughter of an infant when they discover something new. I cannot help making chicken soup as a potion of good health or saying a prayer in the face of agony. Maybe there's no material soul but the universe sees itself through our eyes.

One of these nights I'll get some real sleep, it's coming, I will it so.

Every day I wake up filled to the brim with ideas, every night I fall asleep overflowing. Isn't it neat that the universe has clouds of atoms that look back at itself and plays with what it could be?

Let it be ugly let it be weird and by heaven let it be unpalatable to the market

If you're into hot T4T alien smut with the pov character in heat then this is the fic for you!

And this isn't to say my studying fungi will lead to a particularly accurate or robust representation of fungi, this takes place in a universe with wacky silly science. But the POV character is an astromycologist so I gotta get in her mindset

Taking time to learn mycology is helping, but the cornerstone of my research has been on love, community, and mutual support and understanding. All About Love by bell hooks and Jessie Gender's video essay on The Stories Fascism Fears Most remain core inspirations in this work as much as any text on fungi.

Except I don't really want them to fall in love, agency is involved through and through, they will love because they see the wonder in each other and the entity they meet, they will love because they choose to, and they'll make something beautiful with each other because they wanted nothing more than to do so.

Not me figuring out a scene I won't write for like three months and getting emotional. I love this away team so much. I need to work but I just want to go home and write an away team falling in love

Lestat de Lioncourt has thoroughly infiltrated the system. Not that he has any sway, but we keep rotating him in our minds in three dimensions. I'm going to have to write about this fucker aren't i

I really need novavax to get to my city because I'm allergic to the mRNA ones. It doesn't mean I'm not allergic to novavax (I haven't had it before) since my last flu shot also caused a new and horrible reaction, but I want to be protected and protect others. I always was the type to get vaccinated with anything I could so I could be safe for others who can't be. But now it seems I'm becoming one of the people who can't be.

I'm deep and passionately in love with the world and the people in it. When it's the beauty of spring blossoms or a couple of guys excitedly talking about a motorcycle or fresh bread it's such a pleasure to be constantly aware of the beauty in front of me
