Just want to reassure those new & old this is a LGBTQ friendly page. I'm here to share my art & goof off talking Star Trek. While my art is SFW, I will also boost other artists whose work is NSFW. 🖖🏻

I really dig the sunken impulse engines set into the extra chunky saucer on this bad boy, just wish there was an artist to credit! There's no name credited on the FASA site and my rudimentary Bing-ing yielded squat.

Ice sucks! Help me raise money for good things.

1. Donate to an immigrant rights org like www.ilcm.org
2. Send me a picture of the receipt. Every $5 is an entry.

I knit these mittens and I will draw a name on 1/17/26 and send these to the winner. We’ve already raised $165! Can we make it to $300?

A small Archer-class thread, just because I've been reading up on this cutie a little and wanted to share.

The USS Sagittarius was designed by Masao Okazaki in collaboration with David Mack and editor Marco Palmieri for the Star Trek Vanguard novel series. /1

I am still on the job hunt.

I am looking for work as a Creative Director, focusing on branding and/or marketing. In-house, or agency, I have experience in both.

So if anyone knows anyone looking for a Creative Director, send them my way!

There’s a bunch of reasons why someone shouldn’t visit Starbucks but for me, as a fellow union sister, this is a big one. Companies a hire and paint unions as evil because they are scared of them. Because unions work. Stay strong my unions peeps!

Friend of Garak patches are restocked! I haven't had these in about a year and a half. It's hard to photograph but the thread has a subtle shimmer I'm really pleased with.

A dear friend is Sbux union leader through Workers United and she clued me into 3 things.

Starbucks has not signed a contract with the workers for 4 years.

Starbucks has more union violations than any other company in the US.

Shareholders are demanding they settle.

Keep boycotting.
53 DAYS INTO THE LONGEST NATIONAL ULP STRIKE IN STARBUCKS' HISTORY! 🔥

Remind your friends and family: Don't buy Starbucks for the duration of our strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

go-to - scrambled with a bit of salt and pepper or hot sauce.

also love a Denver omelet or soufflé omelet. a fried egg on top of a burger is also nice.
I have a Sunday topic I would like to discuss. Eggs.

How do you like your eggs?

@gettheorion.bsky.social The new year treat of Taskmaster has a sign language interpreter on the stage next to Alex!

Unfortunately they don't show her nearly enough for her to be of any use for a viewer.

Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.

Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.
Is there actually a benefit to leaving a VM now vs getting a staffer on Monday? Can do both but just curious
