Star Trek The Next Generation scene. The Enterprise D gang is in Ten Forward standing around a beautifully decorated banquet table adorned with exotic flowers and lots of food. Seems like a fancy party is happening, I'm guessing some light chitter chatter is in the background, dishes and flatware tinkling and clanking, maybe some nice soft harpy music, but this is a picture so it's tough to say. Ok, back to the story, so Captain Picard is carving a large round turkey. Bev Crusher, Geordi, Data, and a very very tall Klingon, all in uniform, stand and observe. Closed caption reads, "I shall try some of your burned, replicated bird meat." 🦃

here’s the last part of my artist statement
We do not, unfortunately, have the character count here for the impassioned defense I would like to give of fanfic as a method for engaging deeply with a text, a fundamentally altruistic and anticapitalist endeavor where free art is shared with a community, and a tool for marginalized people to claim space for themselves within corporate-owned media narratives which erase or overlook their existence; but a brief history of the Kirk/Spock shippers is important here. Women and queer people who watched Star Trek: The Original Series as a love story between Captain Kirk and his first officer Spock built the entire infrastructure of what we now consider modern fandom from the 1960s onward (fanfic, fan art, zines, conventions, cosplay and more). And they're still around! My online fanfic community ranges from cishet Midwestern grandmas in their 70s to trans college students in Europe, and every age, background and nationality in between. The library of works is vast, and the caliber of writing can exceed a many published novels; but that's only half the story. You also have to place those writers in context. They were writing joyful queer love stories in an era where sodomy was criminalized. They were writing it in the wake of Stonewall. They were writing it as the gay men they knew in real life were dying of AIDS. They were speaking into existence a future they couldn't even see, where three hundred years later two queer men on a spaceship could finally have a happily ever after. The stubborn resilience of that act of faith says everything about why science fiction matters to me... especially in this world, in this moment, right noW.

Day 7 of inserting a random Muppet into a random Star Trek screenshot
#StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TheMuppets #SesameStreet
A screenshot from Star Trek TNG shows Riker playing trombone in Ten Forward with a small jazz band. On the left there's an alien standing at some kind of instrument that is played with their hands. In the center, we see a side view of Riker playing trombone. He stands in front of a drummer sitting at a drum kit. On the far right, in the back, a woman playing a futuristic upright bass is seen. Directly in front of her is Ernie (of Sesame Street) playing saxophone.

I kind of thought that, aside from the Section 31 movie, Star Trek couldn't get bad enough for me to stop watching it, but SNW may have finally crossed that line.

I'm not sure where everyone is getting their information from, but men need to have sex once every seven years or alternatively fight to the death in ritualistic combat with their best friend. Today, the biggest problem is that they don't have a friend to battle.

curated image; a convention photo with Ethan Peck (Spock from SNW) and Zachary Quinto (Spock from AOS) and a fan; they are recreating the "distracted boyfriend" meme with reversed gender roles; the fan is with Zachary Quinto, but is looking back at Ethan Peck

The Confederacy lasted only five years. Tim Russ played Tuvok for seven seasons. That means Tuvok is a bigger part of our history and we should build statues of him.

What if in a Star Trek they just casually revealed that Bigfoot was real. Someone just mentions it to make a point or something, like "well people didn't think bigfoot existed until 2078". And then they never bring it up again, but canonically in the Star Trek universe, Bigfoot exists now.

my 14yo made a power point of what she wants her future to look like and this is my favorite slide
Power point slide with a corgi in a gilt frame in the right corner. The slide reads “No children. No husband. I want to live all by myself. I want to come home from my self rewarding job and have everything exactly where I left it. And no GROSS children.”

"I love that you're a ship guy, because I'm a different kind of ship guy. When you talk about ships, and when I talk about ships, we mean different things." -- me to my partner as he confidently tells me that Voyager's maximum warp speed is 9.97

i feel like i've talked about this before but a fundamental survival skill for surviving fandom is learning to identify when the speaker is presenting a phd thesis vs. playing dolls.

Found this "outtakes" image and it does, like, 97% of the work for the Kirk / Spock shippers.
