Just because someone doesn't like an ep/flick in their fandom, doesn't mean it's not cannon. Sorry, weirdos, everything in a fandom isn't necessarily for *you* & that's okay. Maybe write some fic & stop subjecting fandom to your painful takes. If your fic is good, THEN we'll listen. 🖖 #StarTrek
Nobody's forcing you to laugh, Larry.
🏆 for "couchfucker voice". I 😂 for real & we all need that now. 💙
They're both great episodes! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did. 🖖
That was amazing. I hope they include an inside look in the extras. 🤞
You can see for yourself by watching S1E10 "A Quality of Mercy" & S2E3 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow". 🖖
Yup. But if we're not more invested in these characters first, it won't mean anything if/when they 💀
It was 💯 awesome. ♥️
Same!!
Quick! Post a random #StarTrek character
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I hope #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds will resist the urge to bring another TOS character in this season. With only 2 eps left, there's really no time to do them justice & some SNW chars need to be explored. I'm talking Ortegas (NOT bro), Pelia, or Mitchell. 💙
Came here to say this, thanks! 💙
Wow, #DexterResurrection is so damned good! Can't wait for the season finale. ♥️ 🔪 Hope it won't end up being the series finale too! As long as they keep the great stories coming, I could watch Dexter indefinitely.🤞
Post a random Trek image 🖖
And on the 2nd watch I completely lost it again. Everyone who gave us this ep deserves some kind of medal. "Victory. I am human." Fucking glorious!!🖖
Tonight's #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds was so fun! At first I was a little afraid of the hijinks, but before long I was literally LOL. My 2 favorite things: the choreography between La'an & Spock & the stinger at the end. I laughed so hard, there were actual tears. 🤣 Bravo, SNW! 12 out of 10! 🖖
A chorus of voices can sing indefinitely because each individual can take a breath when they need one. Hang in there, take a breath if you need one!
Reading your replies to folx in this thread makes me wonder if you're actually a bad-faith actor in sheep's clothing. Giving maga the benefit of the doubt is disingenuous at best. Being "very different" from someone isn't the same as "We're not nazis"
But the prob here is that the question was posed in a way that intentionally skews the data by creating a false equivalency. If you add being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community to the "political views" the right would be way out in the lead.
Maybe the worst part of managers being half my age or less: they have so many spouse &/or kid-related emergencies. I'm really tired of being put off so my mgr can go change a tire or clean up a spilled lunch. This might be the new #GetOffMyLawn for GenX (as a rule, we don't have lawns) 😂😂😂
I didn't miss that. 🤷♀️ Not a huge fan of automation here, tho. I've already lost one job to it & am against it in the workplace. I wouldn't mind it in personal spaces as long as it's 100% private & not accessible in AMZ warehouses & etc for the amusement of others.
Absolutely. We've had 100% mail-in ballots in OR for over 20 years, but I'll be there if we have to do it the old fashioned way in the future. ✊
Your comment is a great example of why we need to make billionaires obsolete, not human workers.
Love. It. Amazing work! Thanks for sharing!
Your last sentence says it all. 👍
🏆 for this entire comments section. You're all heroes to me! 🤣
Media literacy 101: consider the source.
Since some politico hacks are running around trying to support TFG here...
I think you might be lost, grandpa. We don't listen to any of those "people" here. The bird app is that way 🖕

Women's Equality Day, August 26th, 2025. Never give in. Never give up. #womensequalityday2025 #NOW #ERA #WomensMarch #CLUW ♀️✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿⚖️🇺🇸
Aside from anything else, it is a national emergency that the president of the United States has lost his mind.
Most days I'm embarrassed to be seen as a white woman. *Every* day I'd cross the street before walking past a white man. As a cohort, whites are generally pretty despicable. No, this isn't a new revelation, just an attempt to keep these types ☝️ from engaging with me here.
If you're a ♀️ who piles on other ♀️for their trauma responses, plz save time & block me rn. This includes (but is not limited to) women who were SA as kids, esp if they were forced to bear their rapist's child. Because this is all I have to say to you & IDC how many followers you have:🖕
OMG, kinzinger has finally lost the last bit of his tiny mind... Can he just be exiled from public life already?!
this (from the brilliant @everywhereist.bsky.social) puts into words the big black tangle of frustration i have whenever i get the same question
Thank you! I've tried to tell int'l folx all of this & they just get angry &/or accuse me of being for TFG. Maybe with your social proof, some of them will believe. 💙
The mural on the MX side of TFGs "wall"
This didn't just happen, it's an old story. Yes, we need good stories right now, but we don't need to drag them from the past.
💯
That's by design, tho. The media is all owned by the jackholes that sat in the front row at the inauguration. Rs have been working on P2025 since Reagan normalized Nixon's crimes & started stealing our $$ for the 1%. Not excuses: reasons. Facts still matter. We can fix all of this ☝️
Thank you for posting this. 💙💙💙
As an older AFAB person, thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💙
What's the purpose of this doomer crap? It's contagious, you know. Maybe try some courage instead. That's also contagious, with the added bonus that it doesn't support the fash.
Sounds more like punishment for queer folx. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I'm counting on the fact that we have plenty of time before 2028 to find someone worthy. For now, imma let him troll TFG while we find that person & work on laying the groundwork to get them on the national stage. GCN isn't the prez anyone needs. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
I wonder if you understand how you sound when you say shit like this. No wonder so many people have obeyed in advance & think our fight for democracy is hopeless.
She is! She's told him to pound sand several times. 💙
That said, I'm behind what GCN is doing, I just hope he's not anyone's nominee in 2028. I'll work my ass off to see that he's not.
Yeah, there are no legitimate questions on that subject. Once a trans woman starts medical transition she doesn't have any advantage over anyone else. Pretending the right has a point about trans rights=validating the idea that all men are better at everything than all women & that's 🐂💩
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Understatement alert X2! But I'm also putting aside my loathing for GCN while he's browbeating TFG. I wish someone else was doing it, but he's the one we've got. 🤷♀️
+1 Thank you!!
OMG, punctuation is SO important, folx. From an actual email I was cc'd on today: (man)lives in Boston with his dog and wife, (woman's name). I'm not saying dog people are dumb, but at least mention the human first???? Then punctuation isn't quite as crucial to your meaning here! 🤣😭
*bot farm 🤦♀️
Wherever this is, I hope community leaders there are talking about protecting each other during protests today. This is a standard tactic & as long as TFG is in power it's not going away. Don't protest alone, know the tactics you'll be up against & prep strategies to counter. Be smart; be safe ✊
It's so weird that people I (otherwise) respect are following so many bots & trolls here. WTF, people! Here we Report & Block their kind! #BlockParty
So many bots in this thread! #ReportandBlock
He needs us all to block & report so he can slink back to his not farm/Twitter where he belongs.
Anyone living in the Portland area who's been paying attention has seen this behavior far too often. Protesters need to protect each other out there. There are more of us than there are of them. ✊
If you've vetted any orgs on the ground in DC who are supporting the protesters, please let us know however you can. I'm all the way across the country, but would send $$ to supply these courageous vets with food, water, & etc so they can keep their word & stay there until the troops are gone.
I've seen folx complain about the lack of nationwide protests this w/e. I'd like to point out that a lot of the country is in a heatwave. Most of the protesters have been older folx who can't generally run around outside in 100F weather. GenZ could've been out there instead of us 🤷♀️
I'm appalled by what's happening to Bolton. He could've done something to ensure TFG was convicted during his impeachment but he chose to write a book instead. It shouldn't be happening; he had power to stop it years ago & did not.
Costco never carried mifepristone so choosing not to change isn't throwing anyone "under the bus" it's continuing an existing policy. If you hadn't called them out at any time since Dobbs, why now? I'm disappointed in UV for doing the right's work for them & spreading dis-info + fundraising on it
Rewatch #3: #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds S2E7, Those Old Scientists. One of my all-time fave Trek eps. 💙 Letting myself fall down the rabbit hole today while I knit in front of the fan. It's approaching 100F again today & yesterday I volunteered *outside* in 102F so I'm just done w/heat.
💯
The best ep of VOY is S4E1 of #StarTrek #LowerDecks Fight me. 😂 Okay, not really looking for a fight, but if you have a *reasonable, good-faith* counter, I'm happy to hear it.
Connect with me on #StoryGraph & let's share what we're reading! 💜 Full disclosure: since last Nov, all I read are queer Romances and #StarTrek novels. If the book doesn't have a guaranteed #HEA or rest on a united Earth socialist utopia, it's a non-starter. app.thestorygraph.com/profile/char...
As hard as this ep tries to justify killing Tuvix, all it does is provide an allegory re: transitioning using the most un-Trek-like stance possible: if it makes others uncomfortable, trans folx shouldn't exist. And folx wonder why VOY is my least fave #StarTrek series. -10 out of 10 #FreeTuvix
Sorry, I don't see your point in quoting my skeet here.
Today's rewatch (#1 😁) #StarTrek #Voyager #Tuvix Going in with my opinion that Janeway was wrong to kill Tuvix. We'll see if that changes. I doubt it, but stranger things have happened. 🖖 3, 2, 1, Play
Thanks for linking! I wish all the folx screaming that the Dems aren't doing anything would read this. I'm so proud of my state electeds. I don't agree with 💯 of their stances, but they're fighting the good fight for us rn & deserve credit for that.

Did you think you were posting this on Twitter? I think you missed the point...
I can't bring myself to "like" this, but it's what I've been thinking since November. Hopefully, they'll fail & the cult will dissolve soon after the funeral. 🤞
Stop giving this org & their Republican talking heads oxygen & clicks & they'll go back to the Trump-loving hole they crawled out of. Unsubscribe from their YT, Substack, & whatever else they're using to promote the fash agenda. There are folx out there who actually care about democracy. 💙🇺🇸
💯
💯 Thank you!
Why is anyone here on BlueSky even listening to this Republican?! 🤯 Police your own speech, nazi, & leave the rest of us alone. The bulwark is part of the reason we have fash taking over our country. They supported it & made $$ doing it - now that opposing fash = $$ 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️. Don't fall for their 🐂💩
I just finished up a S3 rewatch myself & am shameless in my love for it. #CaptainSeven & #StarTrekLegacy would be an immediate classic, so hopefully we'll get it! Have you written to David Ellison yet? I'm doing that today. 💙
💯
It would be a huge step forward if weirdos & bad-faith actors would stop trying to police the speech of others. And a special fuck you for including LGBTQIA+ on the list, asshole. 🖕 We're here, we're queer, & we're not going anywhere to make "people" like you more comfortable. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
🧵 rec!
Liberal pundits should at least acknowledge the theoretical possibility that some dumb thing the right is doing is *not the left's fault*, not some mechanical response to something the left did, but a choice, made by adults who bear the responsibility for that choice.
Of note: they tell you how much it costs for the government to run the free filing system, but they don’t tell you how much it would cost to have a private corporation do it. (Hint: it would cost taxpayers more to have a private corporation do it.)
Be intersectional and support all women, not just those who are AFAB. Thanks.
What’s going on right now is not normal. Military obedience does not require blind loyalty. If you’re activated in the coming days or weeks, please remember your oath to the Constitution and to the American people. #veteran #chicago #nationalguard #illinois youtube.com/shorts/HmgsD...
Billionaires bought elections for politicians who would give them tax breaks at any cost. We now know what that cost is. More than 330 hospitals are projected to close or make cuts because Trump offset his tax breaks for the rich with cuts to Medicaid and the ACA.
Why would anyone here listen to this Republican?? I don't get it. He's only a centrist if he's standing right next to TFG! Quoting Reagan is like ignoring that he destroyed the middle class & started trickle-down econ & let the AIDS crisis explode & was riddled with dementia in office! 🤬
💯
Read the article. 💙
💯 It is most definitely not normal.
💯
Hopefully that's in process now because they'll come for him Monday. This is the worst possible timeline & I hope we can make something good happen sooner than later. For everyone. 🤬
It's not Chapel's fault if Spock couldn't take no for an answer (altho I do think they could've been clearer writing her inner turmoil there. Maybe.). Frankly, I was a little disappointed in Spock for the way he's acted toward Chapel at times, but see the learning curve for him with v/h romance.
Wow, a lot of men seem to think Nurse Chapel was just playing with Spock's feels & are upset by that inaccurate take. 🤯 1. Boimler's revelation that unemotional Spock does great things hit her HARD. 2. She tried to break it off before meeting Korby, but Spock wouldn't listen. #StarTrek #SNW
All this said, I really dig the ep. I trust the writers enough to be excited about what's coming next, even while I'm hoping for another "planet of the week" ep without the baggage of the current arcs, before the season is over 🤞🤞🤞
At least we know he's still on the Enterprise under Kirk, so even if he's busted down in rank he won't be 💀. I'm with you - McCoy can join the crew in the *final* season as far as I'm concerned. Even if he's cast as well as Scotty (♥️), he has his time in TOS; still so much to explore w/M'Benga!
