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. 🖖🏻

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

all the media being stenographers for the feds and just repeating the drawdown nonsense should go to the whipple building today so they can see the same amount of masked men leaving in convoys of vehicles, and whatever this is too, and report accurately what’s happening on the ground in minnesota
So this is weird. The National Guard is staging at the Whipple building this morning. This is what you do when preparing for a mission.

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.
