Shitposting from the heart. I dont fuck with people who aint got some whimsy. I also draw a ton of Star Trek fan art. 🖖🏻 https://www.gettheorion.com/store-1 https://ko-fi.com/theorion75567

If 60s / 70s Trekkies hadn't invented slash fiction, 90s Trekkies would have had to, because the canon ships can be abysmal. Bashir and Ezri? Chakotay and Seven? Chakotay and anyone for that matter? GTFO Worf and Troi? Worf and Jadzia? Neelix and Kes!?What the hell are you even doing?

The two major alien ships introduced in TNG's first season are some of my favourites and I would argue hold up better today than many of the others that followed in terms of originality and refined detailing. The Warbird is a fan favourite but I feel like the Ferengi Marauder is somewhat slept on.

BuT ThaT's sOciAliSm. Yah, that's the point. How much of our tax dollars go to stop gap, degrading, corrupt "anti-poverty" measures when a universal basic income with guaranteed basic housing would save billions in social services.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Dunno bout yall but id much rather see my tax dollars going to feed hungry people for pennies on the dollar than see hungry families begging on the street. seeing mothers with their children holding up cardboard signs trying to get enough to feed them. If that's the trap, ill gladly walk into it.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

We do not need to have this conversation. Celebrity guests are allowed to set their own comfort level when interacting with fans and cons. This varies by celebrity, by con, and yes, it even varies by fan because some fans don’t understand boundaries. How much you paid is irrelevant.
