@guerrillarain just imagine Star Trek without those things: Every time someone is send to sickbay their plan is checked, people staying in the cafeteria, because they don't have Wi-Fi in their rooms, half the library is behind a paywall, and the replicator offers bad coffee or overly salted mashed potatoes only...

ranger vs. druid identification 

druid: can tell you what kind of tree that is
ranger: can tell you what kind of bird is sitting in that tree

ranger: never gets lost
druid: gets lost all the time but is so cool about being lost it's impossible to tell that they're actually lost instead of "yeah I just wanted to go over here and look at this tree for a while"

druid: has ALL THE HOUSEPLANTS
ranger: has ALL THE PHOTOS OF THEIR PETS

druid: probably vegan
ranger: probably extremely omnivorous, to the point of being willing to eat just about anything that isn't moving too much at the moment

ranger's house: extremely comfortable if you aren't allergic to animals; the primary decor is shed fur
druid's house: warm, humid, sunny, may not actually have any surfaces for human use that aren't covered in plants

On misogynoir: citation, erasure, and plagiarism by Moya Bailey and Trudy

“Misogynoir describes the anti-Black racist misogyny that Black women experience. Despite coining the term in 2008 and writing about the term online since 2010, we experience, to varying degrees, our contributions being erased, our writing not cited, or our words plagiarized by people who find the word compelling.”

This is a very tiny guitar-- It's about the size of a human blood cell and can be played with a laser, and is technically responsible for the highest note ever played on a musical instrument. Each of the strings is only about 100 atoms across.
