Does anyone else think Zoe Steiner (Tarima on ST:SFA) looks a helluva lot like Rachel Weisz?
Fingers crossed for a mother-daughter movie!

How Star Trek teaches us about true love. #treksky
Now intimacy shows up in—quiet glances across a control panel, a raised eyebrow means “I’m with you,” a choice to stay when it would’ve been easier to transfer out.

my mom calls me. she's working on a beading project and forgot how to do the edge. so she asks google "how do I finish the edging on a beading project?"
she got instructions on how to masturbate.
it thought she said "how do I finish edging on a beating project?"

I'm at a Star Trek-themed production of The Abduction from the Seraglio. Half the audience is wearing Starfleet uniforms and Vulcan ears and there are animatronic Tribbles roaming the stage. This is going to be AMAZING. #lalife

I just blocked that Koch account trumpeting his hate for Starfleet Academy, because who needs that kind of slop when the show is so good?
Not me. I work in a tax prep office, it's peak season for the next 2 months, and I need sweet people.

Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:
"Bro entered low-stim flow state doing a 10 min grocery rotation and got mogged by a friendly neighborhood cat 💀 Is proximity-maxxing essentials while touch-grass-pilled more optimal than suburb-meta carbrained bulk errands?"

Started watching Starfleet Academy. So far, so good! I'm hooked by these young people, and the Number One, and Holly Hunter. Good writing!

So it sounds like "Starfleet Academy" is really decent. Should I begin watching?

"HUMAN. WAREHOUSES." 😡
Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.
Facts that bear repeating.

You never ever ever violate guestright. Mythology and literature is *filled* with “ohhhh boy, now you’re properly fucked” cautionary tales.
Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent
