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. 🖖🏻

These are death camps. Everyone involved should be prosecuted under the same terms as the nazis
CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

We legit need a massive class action lawsuit against Meta for allowing people to take our pictures, record us, and now scanning our faces against our wills. At least when someone holds up a camera, you can kinda catch them. Now I gotta worry about some jagoff in dorky glasses.

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror.

I cannot fathom for the life of me people who want Trek to be only serious, all the time... but I suspect they have the personality of white chalk.

Episode 6.

Might require a rewatch. Im not sure how I feel about it yet. Maybe because ive seen a lot of Trek, but from the get, I knew how it was all gonna play out. It was enjoyable. I liked the monologue at the end.

(the wife is stoned and slept through it.) lol
about to watch ep5 again; at the wife's request.

I dont know now to explain how big this is. she detests DS9 & gave up on Discovery after season 2. she's not a fan of either nor did she like the first 3 eps of SFA. the last 2 have been all she can talk about.

I... yeah. let's bodly go, bitches. 🤘🏻
Rewatching episode 4 & not at my request. the wife wants to rewatch it. we are officially in Strange New World / Lower Decks territory. this is kind of a big deal.

Whether or not 🧊 is leaving & it is doubtful, I just gotta say the people of Minneapolis deserve so much respect. They're a population of what, 400k? Chicago has millions.

For months they've stood together in the biting cold & have faced down an onslaught. Minneapolitans are made of sterner steel.
