This is Butterscotch. Whenever he gets on my desk, he carefully steps to avoid placing a paw on my keyboards. For this, and many other reasons, we call him our little gentleman, or Prince Butters.
I am absolutely the first person ever to make this joke and there will be no discussion of this fact…
Just finished Blood Colony, the third novel in Tananarive Due’s African Immortals series, which I am enjoying a LOT. Has anyone else read them? What did you think? No spoilers for book 4, please!
Lunchtime, airport, or car trip listening for everyone en route to #STLV60 ... This bonus Trek Marry Kill revisits the temperature of the fandom towards TOS on the occasion of its ~30th anniversary. Does this time capsule perspective seem totally alien to how Trek fans see TOS today?

Making Spider-Man movies is basically printing money. Unless, ya know, you only made perfunctory, humorless movies about his weirdest d-list villains that didn’t even include Spidey onscreen. But who would ever do a thing like that?!
Alex Zalben@azalben.bsky.social · 2d agoI think generally people forget that the first Spider-Man movie was also the first $100 million plus opening weekend and how insane that was at the time. People -- controversial opinion -- like Spider-Man.
Love seeing my name next to two or my most favorite things: my wife and Star Trek

"neelix sux" is such a tired opinion my god how does anyone still feel this way. aside from the kes stuff (which is gross!) he's actually very sweet and fun and really helps make Voyager be as good as it is. Anyway I am pro Neelix and I am correct.
Lina Morgan@alinaisyou.bsky.social · 3d agoi rewatched "tuvix" for the first time in a while and i do not understand how anyone can think this isn't one of the best episodes in star trek history.
TOMORROW in bookstores, Wednesday in comic shops: JUST ANOTHER SUMMER, a queer trans YA romcom about connection, compassion, and... cows? It'll make you laugh, it might make you cry, it'll def make you fall in love with this group of teens trying to find their way and figure out who they are 💕
