    Well, at least you’re willing to participate in the fun of it. Similarly, I hate the “Macarena,” but I still did it when I was at a family wedding.

      how I really feel

      edit: wanna know the fucked up thing? I went screenshot-hunting on the googles, and I ended up finding an ancient reddit post I made. I couldn’t sanitize the rather awesome reddit account of mine because the fuckbag reddit shits banned it years ago.

      I was OkToBeTakei on reddit (among about a dozen other prolific posting and commenting usernames over 18 years, as well as mod of a few notable subs). I made the username as soon as George Take made his video saying that it was Ok To Be Takei in response to Tennessee’s “Don’t ay Gay” bill passed in, 2011. I Mae the account both in protest of the law and to honor Takaei’s stance. link to video.

      anyway, here’s the original reddit post about Miles O’Brien and this sonic scewdriver-like device, and me briefly discussing Doctor Who references in Trek: link

      I wish I could find the link from this account about a rather amazing r/DaystromInstitute essay I wrote about Dukat and another about Damar, each about 7500 words, and each that won M-5’s post of the week which I no longer have copies of. Some mod may have archives of them, but they’re now lost to anyone else. They were good.

      fuck you, reddit.
