An ancient and proud tradition. Not an affectation.
Pinned
Saw a “Captain Picard-inspired jacket” on Etsy and now I want these as the official #Starfleet uniform in the #StarTrekLegacy era.
Put it over a gray turtleneck and black pants/boots and call it done. #TrekSky #StarTrek
Original was in a shade of red, I re-colored in Ops gold and Science blue.

They are pushing back. The issue here is the demand that they pass bills. Will Trump sign these bills? Which Rs do you think will cross party lines?

Been rewatching Star Trek Lower Decks and I sure do wish we got more than 5 seasons.
Would be so nice they would bring it back or give us a movie.

“Seattle’s total narrowly edged out New York City, which produced 14,240 affordable apartments in the same time period from 2020 to 2024, and Austin, Texas, which produced 13,342.”
The Seattle area produced the most affordable housing in the nation, with more than 24,000 new income-restricted apartments over the last decade. New revenue streams helped the region get there, but more affordable housing is still needed.

In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

The Challenger shuttle disaster that killed 7 crew members was 40 years ago. What happened and how they're being remembered.
The diverse 7-member crew included a teacher who was going to teach lessons from space.

For those who believe that a Democratic majority in Congress will be somehow inconsequential, look at what is happening right now without those majorities.
Now picture that same movement backed by hearings, investigations, and legislation.

They need to re-release STAR TREK: THE VOYAGE HOME in theaters again. I feel like some people need a reminder about what Star Trek actually embodies and why New Star Trek is just as amazing for the new generations, as it was for all of us throughout the decades.
