It's been a week and Im still flying high on all the HAPPY here, and I don't see that ending anytime soon.
So naturally I'm going to replace that old pinned post with all the #TNUC love.
I mean, c'mon, that con was fucking EPIC and needs to be remembered for the rest of time!!!

And I just realized that I'll be missing @paulcarella.bsky.social by 3 days in Edinburgh! Shame, you could've shown me the city 😉 (but I will see you on the 15th!!!)

Someone appears to have gotten their hands on a NO PARKING ANY TIME sign, but they blocked out the par part so it says no king lol

i don’t normally endorse block lists (i’m on some, weirdly lumped in with people i myself have blocked) but i don’t see how blocking all these accts with one button is bad.

most importantly, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM. they already own X so they wouldn’t be here if they weren’t trying to start shit.

Back on my #TNG rewatch and a) still amazed they have at least 25 episodes per season and b) the SARCASM is strong with everyone but especially Sir Patrick - sometimes even his eyebrow drips with it!!!

Sarah @sarah1979.bsky.social · 3d

For the rest of his miserable freaking life. Bloody TWAT!!!

You okay over there? Did the news knock you out??? ... or is it just news for me? (not that I'm actively in the fandom but seeing enough and getting excited enough)

This fan art bought us another season and put food on all of our tables. We will always be indebted to you.

Jenn Lee overboard! @self-induljennt.bsky.social · 5d

Sometimes I remember worrying that I was embarrassing when I started sharing my fanart. I fell so hard & so fast for our pirates. Then a pro comic artist I really look up to just out of the blue told me my OFMD stuff was "beautiful work". It was like he knew I needed to hear it right at that moment.

We absolutely, positively DO NOT need to learn to live with anyone who wants some of us FUCKING ERASED. Rowling & her money is doing real harm to trans men & women across the world and she needs to fuck off into the sun at her earliest opportunity. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Into the sun.

Laura 🍁🍄🦇🎃 @tricksyliesmith.bsky.social · 7d

oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.
