Noticing a fair amount of ka'athyra / Vulcan harp discussion going around, so here's the working model I got to see back in Feb. 2020 at a very brief K/S gallery show in Chicago. (And no... I did not get to play it, much as I wanted to.) 💙✨️🎵 One of the staff at the gallery did turn it on (it has an electronic tone generator and amplifier built into it) and pluck a few strings to demonstrate the sound; it was perfectly eerie-but-beautiful.

(back view)

(proof that I was really there... in the pre-Kirk-'do times)

(ps - there are step by step instructions with schematics online for building/wiring one yourself, but you didn't hear that from me)

thought I had finally found a group of people I almost fit in with/could be myself with (an lgbtqia+ discord that's actually all local people) but after a month and a half of feeling okay and accepted for the first time in... idk how long, I ruined everything for myself by being "out" as a Christian, which apparently makes me The Enemy

#not trek #alone again‚ naturally #jtkchu's landing party #spent six weeks getting to know people and trying to muster the courage to go to one of their monthly meet-ups #but big surprise it turns out i'm not wanted after all 👍#guess i'm glad i found out before i ruined anyone's lives in person for once #i was told there is no such thing as a 'real Christian' because we have all bastardized Christ's teachings and are all evil #and that there is no such thing as an lgbtq+ Christian (even though that's... precisely what i thought i was)#and any Christian who claims to support lgbtq+ folks 'should rename themselves' because of extremist bigots spreading hate in Christ's name #so despite all the people at my church who know i'm non-cis/het being totally fine with it and supportive of me #generally speaking it seems i'm too non-cis/het for most Christians‚ and too Christian for most non-cis/hets #good to know that there is still nowhere i can be my full self #complaining #never belonging #back into the chamber turning‚ at least for now i guess #forever alone #soul sick #exhausted #no spoons #sorry for being depressing #tw religion #tw gender #what is it like having a friend group?#yes i am fully aware that this is all my own fault for having aligned myself with the oppressors #i just still don't understand how to 'do enough to stop these people & solidify love' and 'get rid of the bigots in [our] ranks'#it's not as though i have the power to kick extremist bigots out of the church. and i'm not going to assault people in the parking lot #i don't know what to do anymore (not that i ever did)#jtkchu's brain #personal log #stfu jtkchu

I'm going to blithely assume this bit of lighting during Cherub Rock was a deliberate salute to the LGBTQIA+ demographic whether it actually was or not 🏳️‍🌈 🎸🎙🎧🎵🎃 🌈

re: The Bat, my family's house is extremely old and we have hundreds of bats in our attic. sometimes they journey to the realm of the mortals (us). sometimes they do this every day for weeks on end. my mom's old method was to open all the doors and wait for them to decide to fly outside (better than house of screaming people). unfortunately once we did this during a blizzard and 1) cold. it was so cold. 2) THE BAT DIDN'T LEAVE BECAUSE THERE WAS A BLIZZARD

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope y'all are safe with so many bat friends!!!!!! 😳👀🤯😬 (I would absolutely be one of the screaming people, if my early morning encounter was any indicator 😂) At the same time... can't blame them for not wanting to fly out into a blizzard, I never want to be outside in the snow either lmao!! 😅😅

I hope the bat is gone! One summer we had some roost in the eaves of the house. The animal control guy informed me about the no killing thing. So he put in this door, they could fly out, but not back in. Oh no I said, where will they go? He said, lady, I've been chasing this same colony around your neighborhood for 5 years!

Ooo, I like the sound of the one-way door, that's great! Our friend is definitely out of the house proper now, might still be in the garage but I can't imagine him not making his way out where we left it partway open to go find food. We're going to have to check around the house for the next few days to see if we can figure out how the little guy got inside in the first place... but apparently they can squeeze themselves through cracks or crevices as small as 1/4 inch, so we'll probably end up having to get our monthly pest control guy to check around for us since he has a more practiced eye.

But omg that story!! 😅😅😅 Your neighborhood must be a haven!! Sounds like almost every house around you probably has one of those doors by now, lmao 🥳 According to what I've read in the last 12ish hours, it's actually a very good sign if there are lots of bats in your area; I guess it indicates that there's a healthy balance of insects in the ecosystem, and bats are a huge defense for us against weird diseases carried by mosquitoes and other bugs. So I'm glad we both got them out of our homes, but I'm also glad we both got the chance to see them! Such a weird little adventure! 😂🥳🦇
