ppl on ds9 angrily blogging about problems with the plumbing, the electricity, that one corridor that’s always full of debris because it’s the first to go whenever the station is attacked. “@staff you can move the fucking space station closer to the wormhole by somehow making it lighter but my bathroom still has a cardassian toilet”
“@staff i just want to be able to use a replicator without it destroying my ability to process language is that so much to ask”
“@staff i just found a pocket of anti-gravity in the habitat ring??? bug or feature?”
“@staff-”
“I AM WORKING ON IT” types Miles O’Brien, his communicator blowing up with notification after notification. so many notifications. Miles O’Brien thought he knew what he was getting into when he joined @staff. Miles O’Brien just wants to sleep. “I LIVE HERE TOO YOU KNOW”

1) oh no this is gonna make me subconsciously sympathize with this hecking site’s Weird and Often Nonsense technical hell-Nonsense (yes I said it twice) by giving it Miles’ sad, brain-fried, exhausted, Irish face; I’ll feel bad every time I complain, the man just wants to play darts
2) MILES O’BRIEN IS NOT TUMBLR STAFF. MILES O’BRIEN IS XKit.
but then who’s Tumblr Staff? Gul Dukat?
I’d say that Tumblr Staff is the Cardassians, yes, for building a website and then repeatedly ignoring its userbase and literally letting communities of fascist blogs thrive. The Federation is Yahoo, for taking up such a mess with lots of false promises and then not fixing it like it really should, honestly.
A lot of the technical problems aboard the Station have to do with the fact that it is essentially a hybrid of three systems - Cardassian, Bajoran, and Federation - with others depending on location (i.e. Ferengi systems in Quark’s Bar, Klingon systems in the Klingon restaurant, etc…)
New XKit is Rom imo, because it takes time for genuine fun stuff like the Pokemon extension and joke stuff like the edible reblogs thing and really just wants everyone on this hell site to smile for once because we all deserve to - also they have an extension called anti-capitalism and y’all remember when Rom literally quoted the Communist Manifesto, right?
and then Garak is Stylish (of course) because there’s no better browser extension to use to assassinate the eye-straining blue/white default theme…
