I'm off to vote for a Senator who is fine but way too moderate for my taste and a House Representative who's disappointed me and drives me crazy, but the only other options here are MAGA-sympatheitc "democrats" or people who run every year but haven't updated their websites since 2018 ✌🏻

I also won a prize that included a life-size mylar balloon of Captain Burnham (already filled with helium 😂).

It's been a while since I shared this, but I have a chapbook of Star Trek inspired poetry out if you're interested!
The poems are loosely Trek-related, but they're also about reproductive freedom, grief, reasonable gun laws, medical diagnoses, fatphobia, and love.
Both physical and digital versions are available, and if the cost at the website is too much, let me know, and I can send you a copy at a more affordable rate 💚

I wonder if was intentional to have Zora say, "Executing," when Captain Burnham gives her an order in "Stormy Weather," as that's a phrase Saru considered using when he became temporary captain.
Zora was first navigating her sentience and communication even then, and now she's choosing to mirror Saru 😭😭😭

Just saw in a Discord chat* that the #StarTrekProdigy season 2 drop on the French network was a mistake and that the showrunners are trying to get it removed :( I feel so bad for them, and I won't be watching it at all until it's intentionally released.

@npub19m2…9j8f Super tempted to watch this today. I haven't spoken French in a while, but I think it'll come back to me!

God, watching "There Is a Tide..." tonight got me so emotional. Michael sending an emergency message to her mom and saying, "The way things are going, I might not see you again until another distant future. … Maybe dad will be there.." 😭
And then seeing Ken Mitchell 😭😭😭

Osyraa hair and makeup test #1!
I did not plan this for St. Patrick's Day, but I don't work tomorrow, so if this stains my face, I can just stay home 🤣
Excited for the full look with my chest and neck painted and trimming the wig to get some micro-bangs.
