Now that I've gotten some more followers, let's update the intro post and also use this as an ongoing thread for my art!

So, hey, I'm Sean! I draw things, I write things like the fanfic EVA-Trek, and I also love all the Trekkie things and all the classic movie things!

Welcome aboard!

Picard season 3 was an absolutely perfect season of television with the tightest and most well-thought out plot the franchise has ever seen & no unnecessary fanservice whatsoever.

You've been kidnapped.

Your kidnappers allow you keep posting on social media to pretend everything is alright.

What would you post that would alarm your followers, without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

For me, it’s my ongoing fanfic EVA-Trek, which adapted Neon Genesis Evangelion into the DS9 era of the 24th century.

The second season pushed past adapting Eva & tells original stories & is some of my best work so far!

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

26 U.S. Code § 7217 - Prohibition on executive branch influence over taxpayer audits and other investigations
U.S. Code

(1)to an applicable person by or on behalf of the taxpayer and forwarded by such applicable person to the Internal Revenue Service;
(2)by an applicable person for disclosure of return or return information under section 6103 if such request is made in accordance with the requirements of such section; or
(3)by the Secretary of the Treasury as a consequence of the implementation of a change in tax policy.
(d)Penalty
Any person who willfully violates subsection (a) or fails to report under subsection (b) shall be punished upon conviction by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.

For purposes of this section, the term “applicable person” means—

i have to be honest, gang, i have some questions about this republican strategy of telling everyone to tune in and pay attention to what’s likely to be one of the largest days of political protest in american history directed at the republican party

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Heavily disappointed that Conan didn’t challenge or push back on Burr at fucking all.

I can’t believe Burr pulled the “if you criticize me going to Riyadh, you’re a racist” card. What a fucking hypocrite.

Across the "T" in "Resist" sits a tiny crown that is crossed out. toward the bottom right, the text says "Trekkies Against Fascism."

I like how all the white men think they don’t use their gender(and their racist race) as a lens to view the world

Jessie Gender @jessiegender.bsky.social · 1d

OMG! I made an offhand joke in my latest Star Trek video calling out r/Star_Trek_ for their centrist takes by assuming any left-leaning critique is just about “diversity points” instead of discussing how Trek should challenge the modern status quo - and then they literally did that to my vid. LMAO!

A post on the subreddit r/Star_Trek_ saying "Strange New Worlds is not wokey enough for Jessie Gender" with a picture of Jessie Gender's latest video "STRANGE NEW WORLDS IS A STATUS QUO STAR TREK COMFORT BLANKET" and a subhedding that reads "Don't worry, Jessie. I'm sure Starfleet Academy will be more to your palate..."

POST SAYING - "
I don't care about criticisms of political messaging. I care about criticisms of storytelling quality.

Strange New Worlds is not a good show - not because of trans representation or lack thereof. But because it's written like crap, is gratuitously violent, and incorporates little to no science fiction.

Discovery was also very bad, and not because it had a trans character. Because it was written like crap, was gratuitously violent, and incorporated little to no science fiction.

Picard was also very bad, and not because it had a bisexual character. Because it was written like crap, was gratuitously violent, and incorporated little to no science fiction."

POST SAYING - "The Youtuber's name is literally Jessie Gender - I think it's fairly clear what lens she'll be viewing content through. I avoid her channel (not because she's trans) but because I know that she'll always review, or generally assess, Star Trek media through that gender/sexuality lens. Which is valid, and has its place, but isn't for me - so I get my Trek content elsewhere." and a second comment saying "It must be tiresome caring about one thing only in media you consume"

COMMENT SAYING - I think these people are fake Trek fans, they’ve never cared about the franchise. Only how it can be used as a vessel to carry their beliefs. They thought Trek was progressive so they believed its only value came from being progressive.
