Am I the last to find out that Harry Potter is some elaborate Star Trek fan-fiction?
I’m slowly watching all the Star-Trek episodes for the first time, and I am struck by how many similarities I found between characters and plot elements in The Next Generation and in HP.
Anybody know if JK is a Star-Trek fan?

In academia, people of color and different cultures are often underrepresented. Many people think that reading Donna Tartt, Sylvia Plath, Shakespeare, Aristophanes, etc., studying the ideologies of Nietzsche and Camus, studying Greek art, learning Latin, listening to Bach and Chopin, etc. makes one an academic. That is so untrue because academia, intelligence, music, art, architecture, and literature also exists in cultures outside of Europe and European Americans (yes, I just called white people European Americans) as well.

I got way too excited about some kids strawberry toothpaste I found! I hate, detest, abhor the taste and sensation of mint but for some reason alllll the flavors seem to be spearmint, cool mint, ice mint etc. It was an awful choice between nausea for hours or bad breath. I've tried brushing with alternative brands, baking soda, salt, or soap but didn't love any of those options either for taste or effectiveness. But today I found my new sweet smelling, non burning fave.

Black Man Shot to death by police, the same headline for decades
I’ve been watching Star Trek Deep Space 9 for the first time. I was not prepared for the episode where alternate universe Jake, Captain Sisko’s son, is shot in the chest. And then the police beat up Sisko.
The show doesn’t typically have much blood, or the sound of gunshots, and it took me by surprise. Especially considering just how old the show is, and just how relevant these same concerns remain today. 
I am crying. I had to stop the video and walk away for a while.
