I'm starting a GLP-1 this week. Just need to pick up my prescription. I'm way more nervous than I anticipated.

Loved the use of opera underscoring in an episode that was, thematically, an opera itself—centered on forbidden love and conflicts of duty. “Beta Test” felt very much like a modern TNG episode.

The only "Gene's vision" complaints that I will accept about Starfleet Academy are those pertaining to visible zippers on the uniforms.

If these two don't meet in Starfleet Academy, I'm at least hoping for an incredible novel adventure someday.

‘Roddenberry understood that progress required visibility. You don’t reach a future that “takes delight in differences” by hiding them. You reach it by putting those differences front and center‘
Star Trek is Delivering on Gene Roddenberry's Original Dream (Despite the "Outrage")
Despite some backlash online, new Star Trek show, Starfleet Academy, has remained true to Roddenberry's dream.

I've noticed Starfleet Academy has a lot of longer takes in the first two episodes. I'm really digging that. I hope it keeps up.

Actually this *is* the future liberals want, the fact it's sending Stephen Miller into conniptions is just a side benefit

Anyone have a recommendation for a "queer coded mystery novel with a strong female lead"? My wife is searching for the perfect book to read, so I told her I'd ask #Booksky ❤️

It's my fault for checking the Facebook comments on this post. 🙁
The comments are so hateful. Star Trek's social media should stand up for the new actors. Instead, they're thrown to the wolves

"Inspire Me" is a WOILD name for a tool that relies on the plunder of our creative labor and poisons Black communities. This is basura. No clarity was provided.

The naysayers of Starfleet Academy really get me. I've seen "critiques" (that's being generous) about character appearances to the shapes of the classrooms.
And yet again, a section of the fandom must learn it's okay for things to be different or not for them.
