@starkatt another topic I've been wanting to talk about for a while and need I remember to actually do so: Worf, cultural context, and the inadequacy of received texts as cultural guides.

@starkatt hi I've spent literally all day watching youtube film criticism and it has prompted me to want to write more, even if informally.
