40s. I write sometimes.
I finished season 1 of TOS! I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and I feel like the pop cultural idea of Kirk is pretty far off. Like the idea of him is horny swashbuckler but I would say so far on the show his defining trait is actually duty. Duty to his ship and to his crew.

Anyway, let's pour one out for the lost potential of these cool lady crew members who only got featured in one episode each. Yeoman Tamura and Lt. Masters in engineering. #startrektos

Is this the worst fake facial hair ever seen on TV? #startrektos

27 episodes into TOS and we just got the the first mention of dilithium crystals. They were calling them lithium crystals before.

Bones also hit 'em with an "I'm a doctor not a bricklayer" this episode. #startrektos

This TOS episode has an AI that runs a planet by giving the inhabitants a "peaceful" society with no creativity. The AI says I reserve creativity for myself so Kirk makes it destroy itself because not allowing human creativity is harming the people it's programmed to help. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It's pretty interesting how much of the stuff they were figuring out as they went. 18 episodes in and we finally have a Federation and a Starfleet. They were calling it stuff like the Star Service before.

Please enjoy this beautiful space twink.

From the front you can kind of roll with these Romulan sash things, but from the back they're just scarves your grandma made. Also that is Spock's freaking dad and they thought I wouldn't notice. #StarTrekTOS

You have to take it as a relic of its time so most of the sexist stuff is whatever, but I just can't with the skants that don't even cover these ladies' underwear. Poor Uhura just trying to do her job with her butt fully hanging out.

I feel like they could have taken a couple minutes to future up this spray bottle by painting it silver or something. #StarTrekTOS

I started watching TOS for the first time and I recorded this off my TV because it's so fucking funny.

I saw the most FAFO accident on my way to work today. This huge truck was going straight with a green light and a car was trying to sneak a right turn in front of it and didn't stop even though they had no right of way and no room and the truck just completely sideswiped it.

I love the photographer being like gotta get a closer look at those shoes. Vetements tower boots with a 7 inch platform if you want a pair of your own.

He looks great but doesn't this seem like an outfit you should wear to the Wicked red carpet?

My washer/dryer is in a closet on the porch and when I went to do some laundry today there was a little frog in the washer. I got him out but we did traumatize each other during the process because he didn't understand I was helping him and I got startled when he jumped on me.
