Okay, Trek nerds, post a picture from your first #StarTrek movie.
A vibrant sci-fi style poster set against a star-filled black space background. Three large human faces appear at the top, each in a different color band — red on the left, yellow in the center, and blue-green on the right — all looking forward with serious expressions. Beneath them, bright beams of colored light streak downward, meeting a glowing blue lightning-like energy surrounding the bold title “Star Trek The Motion Picture The Director’s Edition.” At the bottom, a sleek starship rendered in warm red and gold tones flies through the multicolored light.

If you see this, post a #StarTrek!
A starship squadron straight from the Delta Quadrant stands proudly on display, featuring detailed miniatures from Star Trek, including the sleek U.S.S. Voyager with its commemorative plaque. Flanked by fellow vessels of all shapes and sci-fi quirks—some with saucers stacked like pancakes, others bristling with antennae—this shelf looks ready to launch into warp speed at a moment’s notice.

A bit of Trek fun with the Mamdani meme generator!
Bold yellow and orange text on a solid blue background reads “JUSTICE for TUVIX,” with “JUSTICE” in large letters and “for TUVIX” in smaller text beneath it.

Wicked – One Beautiful Night (Live)

If you know me, you know Wicked lives rent-free in my heart, my playlists, & probably my DNA at this point. The movie was magic, the cast is iconic, & now this live soundtrack has officially sent my Wickedtastic soul into the stratosphere.
Album cover for Wicked: One Wonderful Night featuring silhouetted figures of Elphaba and Glinda holding microphones and facing each other dramatically on a misty green-lit stage. A glowing Emerald City-inspired design forms the background, with ornate patterns and bold text displaying the title and composer Stephen Schwartz’s name.

Just dropped a new post on Jibber Jabber with Jodi: Why Ask Why?

It’s time to reclaim curiosity from the sidelines.

Toddlers get it. Adults forget. But the world needs more why-askers.

A glowing, three-dimensional question mark stands upright in a dimly lit space, casting a soft reflection on the floor. To the left, bold white text reads “Why ask why?” with the author’s name, “by Jodi Pickens,” in smaller font beneath. A small, colorful logo featuring overlapping geometric shapes appears near the base of the question mark.

If you see this post four female characters you love.
This image shows a Starfleet officer with blonde hair, wearing a red and black uniform and standing in a dimly lit starship environment. Visible cybernetic implants on her face and temple reflect her Borg heritage. Her expression is calm yet commanding, with soft lighting highlighting the metallic details and textures around her. This image shows a Starfleet officer wearing a dark uniform with red shoulders and a high collar. The person has long, curly blonde hair and a composed, confident expression, lit softly against a dark background. This image shows a Starfleet officer in a red and black uniform with a gray undershirt, standing confidently against a softly lit blue background. The officer has neatly styled auburn hair and a calm, composed expression, wearing a Starfleet communicator badge on the left side of the uniform. This image shows an animated Starfleet officer from Star Trek: Lower Decks. She’s wearing the red-and-black uniform with rolled-up sleeves, which indicates she works in the command division. Her expression is confident and slightly amused, with her dark hair pulled back into a ponytail tied with a red band.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

This isn’t about chaos. It’s about clarity.
We’re done being ruled by greed, ego, and empty crowns.

It’s not about tearing down. It’s about building together.
Community over control. Compassion over conquest.

No Kings. No Masters.
Just people doing the work of liberation, equity, & care.

#NoKings
The image shows a rough black crown painted over a red “X” on a textured yellow background. The design has a bold, graffiti-like style with visible brushstrokes. The image shows the word “NOPE” in bold, distressed white letters on a black background, with the “E” stylized in red to resemble a jagged, angular crown shape.

The image shows two people in a bedroom. One person with long reddish hair stands at the foot of the bed wearing a white tank top, colorful underwear, and holding a blue hot water bottle against their stomach. The other person with long blonde hair sits on the edge of the bed wearing an oversized gray sweater and thigh-high socks. The room has a soft pastel tone with a neatly made bed, a nightstand with a lamp, and framed wall art of a butterfly.
