Tomorrow I get to go see my cutie patootie physical therapist again. 🥳 Too bad my knee is grumpy lately. Makes it seem like I didn’t do my exercises. Oh well. I’m going to ask his advice for my finger too, which is still not back to normal.

Oh and also my coffee club Janeway pillow. That turned out great in many ways.

Probably my sampler in honor of Voyager. One of my first cross stitch projects.

Picture of a large cross stitch in an ornate frame with black matting. The cross stitch has three sample alphabets, two Voyager ships, one on top and one on the bottom with blue lines coming out of the nacelles which forms a border around the whole piece. In the middle it says “Bless This Federation Starship” and at the bottom it says “Set A Course For Home.” There are many small motifs across the piece including the bridge, a combadge, and the Delta Flyer.

Oh, I love that

Petunia846 @petunia846.bsky.social · 22h

At first I really wanted this, but now what I want is the ability to set particular posts to private/only mutuals or something like you can do on most other socials. Oh well.

It is engineering malpractice that this site has not yet implemented an option to allow people to private their accounts, given that they’re a US based company, and the US is going through what it’s going through.

But hey, waffles, amirite.

The colors are really lovely, I especially like the rainbow stripes in the background, and the composition is unexpected so it grabs attention, great lines.

The sign says "Together We Resist." to the left, it has a sign of the Vulcan symbol for IDIC: a triangle in the center of a circle. at the bottom right of the sign is a drawing of a crown that is crossed out. At the bottom right of the image, the white text says "Trekkies Against Fascism."

The good news is I have the exact right hole punched for the project…a single hole punch and a large round one that’s 1.75 inches. And that shrinks down to just about the exact size of the original buttons. ☺️

Petunia846 @petunia846.bsky.social · 1d

I’m trying slightly different versions to see which one will work best. Looking to replace that black button.

Picture of several plastic circles with a delta on them and two holes. There’s also a similarly sized button. There is a sharpie marker a gold pencil and a single hole punch. Everything is on top of a piece of graph paper.

Finally getting around to a project I’ve been wanting to try…making Star Trek buttons to go on a shirt I got at a thrift store and want to wear at one of the events on the cruise. The process involves shrinky dinks. 😅

I'm a doctor, not a doodle.

star trek fan art illustration of actor Robert Picardo wearing a TOS style Starfleet uniform, holding a tiny hologram hexagon. Atop it, stands a tiny Mark 1, Emergency Medical Hologram, which Robert Picard played on Star Trek Voyager. The black background with gridded yellow lines is the holodecks.

Ask the news media: "Why are you covering what that irrelevant, uneducated, uninformed, and self-interested person is saying? I don't care what he thinks. None of us care."

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 2d

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

My parents are leaving today to visit friends for the week. Now I sit, waiting for them to leave because obviously I can’t do anything else in the meantime. 🙄 It’s like the expectation of having an appointment, but I’m not even the one with the appointment.
