Well said, @aroundthewaytrekkie ! 🖖🏻

I’m rewatching Star Trek Discovery, with my partner who is watching it for the first time. I have listened to the naysayers smack talk this show for years and I am officially over it!

I’ve laughed, cried & cried some more. This show is bold, new, incredible, exciting and groundbreaking.

I for one didn’t even begin to watch Discovery until I was stuck home during the pandemic, because I just didn’t want to watch another cisgender 💀 male captain, that storyline was old and stale. So I was pleasantly surprised to see NEW characters and stories in Discovery.

A phenomenal black female is the lead character rather than just in the background, a multi cultural, LGBTQIA+ & species cast! I’ve loved exploring the different relationship dynamics between the characters.

There hadn’t been a new Star Trek series since Enterprise and that one almost killed the Trek franchise in my opinion.

Discovery does what Star Trek was always intended to do, make people think… not about the way things were, but the way things could be in the future. To challenge society’s status quo’s and explore other possibilities.

Michael Burnham is a Superhero and Sonequa Martin-Green is a freaking Goddess!

Like it or not Discovery breathed new life into the Trek franchise. It launched Strange New Worlds, gave Picard a snowballs chance and even probably launched/ saved Paramount.

The entire cast of Discovery is awesome and honestly it’s now my favorite Trek series of all time! I’m so sad that it was cancelled along with Lower Decks, but I’m so glad that it was made!

We didn’t have a word for our, as you guys call, gay/lesbian people. So we coined that word as an umbrella for all our tribes. We never said, “Well, you’re transgender. You’re bisexual. You’re lesbian.” We never knew those terms. Those are all from Western culture, you know, LGBTQ and all that. So on some level, it’s about getting rid of labels. Those terms were forced upon us.

A rose made of galaxies

Arp 273 is a pair of interacting galaxies, 300 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was first described in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, compiled by Halton Arp in 1966. The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, is about five times more massive than the smaller galaxy. It has a disc that is tidally distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813. The smaller galaxy shows distinct signs of active star formation at its nucleus, and "it is thought that the smaller galaxy has actually passed through the larger one."

Abolish the comic book industrial complex 🙂

#I saw a whitewashed Uhura in a Star Trek comic #might've only been one panel #but still #Uhura isn't white #then there's the older book series #in which Uhura has white skin blue eyes and blonde hair #they literally made her look more like Chapel #those books are from the 70s #gross whitewashing

Warehouse worker here. Moved around a bit in the 8+ years I've been there. My team re-uses the boxes we pick orders into, so my present job is sorting the returned boxes (totes) that come off the delivery trucks. Some people hate sorting the totes, but I actually really like it, and the pallet truck I drive to get pallets of those totes from one corner of the warehouse to another (my pallet truck is a beautiful old machine). What I absolutely hate is pressure and traffic blockages while just trying to do my job. I'm really good at my job, having done it for a while (and my own specific way of doing it), and I love doing little maneuvering tricks with my truck.

It's not just box sorting, and I take it seriously. My team needs those boxes, and I'll deliver them.

Sigh.
