It’s cold outside this weekend so I really want a nice big bowl of Phở. But to get some decent Phở, I would have to drive 45 minutes. To get really good Phở, at least 2 hours.
Funny thing is that back in Vietnam my husband ate Phở or rather the spicier Bún bò Huế when it was really hot and humid.

One of the biggest flaws of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman is that it spends a lot of time establishing how racist, misogynistic, & ableist most of the townspeople are, and then it occasionally wants us to care about them. No, Hank & Jake especially can die for all I care. They are steaming piles of shit.

I’m not into conspiracy theories, but it’s interesting how the home worlds of two of the Federation’s biggest rivals in the 23rd century and beyond end up getting destroyed.
I’m joking but what’s Section 31 been up to?

Chow down on a slice of pepperoni pizza and read the entire thread if you are observing the 30th anniversary of the Star Trek Voyager classic “Threshold”. Enjoy!!!
On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

Yup and now I’m seeing posts about Klingon tears and how they aren’t canon. It was one line from a movie in which a physician said he didn’t know enough about Klingon anatomy. TNG & DS9 episodes mention Kahless filling the ocean with tears. Canon is flexible.

This is the first time I have truly enjoyed a Klingon-centric episode. Great episode of SFA.
Also I feel like this episode further vindicates Captain Michael Burnham.

@jessiegender.bsky.social I wanted to thank you for getting by me into #StarTrek. Your #StarfleetAcademy videos made me start watching the series. Then your “Star Trek Explained” video was a fun rant. Bluesky pointed me to Lower Decks for more content, and I’ve been binging it all week.

I miss my old dentist and old dental hygienist. They were thorough and quickly realized that I don’t do small talk. But the dentist retired and the dental hygienist move away. Now I’m stuck with a broey dentist and less than thorough dental hygienist.
