On the one hand, that's pretty fun-tastic (esp. the link thanks!)
On the other hand, would you mind terribly if I made a critical comment about the icon?
With Uhura pictured, the text seems like it's in her "voice." So it was really jarring to hit the I fucked Uhura line, because suddenly it felt like "oh, the black woman isn't the speaker, she's the object." And the gender piece of it kinda made me go "well... damn, that's more of the same old, same old."
So that's my response, and here's hoping it is expressed in a way that makes my point clear rather than comes off as me being a dick. :)
No, I think someone else gathered the stuff for the icon and made it from the OPs stuff. I wanted an Uhura gif one because I <3 Uhura. Plus everyone and their mother has the "LOOK AT THIS LT RIGHT HERE" one.
I didn't mind the line so much as the realization "oh, it's not Uhura who's all 'look at me, motherfuckers!' - she's just the scenery for whoever's 'speaking'."
