@Fragglemuppet Spock's mom was human, father, Sarek, was Vulcan. So he's always torn between emotion and logic (pathos and logos). Vulcans are not supposed to ever show emotion, so that's the character's cross to bear throughout the franchise.
In my English academic writing class today, Mr. Spock came up in a discussion about ethos, pathos, and logos. Only 1-2 students out of 20 knew the character and his background (half-human, half Vulcan), and what Vulcans are known for. This despite major reboots of Star Trek movies and shows since 2009, with many actors playing the role of Spock. But oh yeah, let's dismantle the Dep't of Education. Fuck all. 🙄 🙄 🙄 #StarTrek#StarTrekTOS #DepartmentOfEducation
Earlier I ate a vegan chili dog with beans, and just now cracked a rat, and Girl Cat suddenly woke up and looked at me like I shot a Kennedy. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #MastoCats
If you're an older person like me, with RFK Jr. nominated for Director of Health and Human Services, you had better go onto a 100% plant-based diet and up your exercise now. If you are middle or working class, or retired, you won't be able to afford getting seriously ill. Just how they want it. #Vegan#PlantBased#PlantBasedDiet Ⓥ
