DARK AND TERRIBLE. Jesus Christ, I don't think I would have survived high school without Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, and I mean that literally. I had a Star Trek novel in my backpack every day, and I met some awesome folks online through Star Trek fandom. Anytime life sucked (and it sucked a lot in high school), Star Trek was my escape.

In addition, tragic and dorktarded as it may be, the roots of my personal philosophy and general view of the universe at large lie in three sources: Spock's World, The Romulan Way, and The Wounded Sky. :B

Also, I am somewhat nervously looking forward to the new Star Trek movie. If it sucks, it'll kill the franchise. If it's awesome, it'll resurrect it. C'mon, movie, please don't suck. ._.

WAT.

I've made a couple of donations to Equality CA over the past couple of months, so I'm on their mailing list. I got this email today:

If lies don’t work, then maybe threats and blackmail will.

Yesterday, donors and supporters of Equality California began receiving threatening letters from the “Yes on 8” campaign leadership.

These letters threatened to “expose” the donors listed on our website if they don’t donate to the “Yes on 8” campaign and refrain from supporting Equality California in the future.

That’s how low the other side is willing to go. They are willing to threaten organizations and other donors who support efforts to protect youth and seniors, as a way to raise money in their effort to eliminate our right to marry.

...

The letter, sent on their campaign letterhead, was signed by four members of the group's executive committee and suggests our donors withdraw their support for their own good. It demands an equivalent donation or else:

“Were you to elect not to donate comparably, it would be a clear indication that you are in opposition to traditional marriage. You would leave us no other reasonable assumption. The names of any companies…that choose not to donate…to ProtectMarriage.com…will be published.

…We will contact you shortly to discuss your contribution.”


I have no words. NONE. Please Californians, for the love of all that is right and just in this world, vote No on 8.

On the upside, I did learn that my internets and phone providers both support No on 8. :D
