Seeing some new people following this channel. I just want to say I'm grateful. welcome. 🙏🏻

Just want to reassure those new & old this is a LGBTQ friendly page. I'm here to share my art & goof off talking Star Trek. While my art is SFW, I will also boost other artists whose work is NSFW. 🖖🏻

Coming out is a choice; no one is required to come out. Especially in a time of rising risks and dangers. For some, it's not a choice at all. I came out in 2012. Some of you already know this, I'm The Orion, and I'm transgender.

Happy International Coming Out Day. You are not alone. 🖖🏻🏳️‍⚧️

October 11 is International Coming Out Day.

I say it's long overdue for people to accept us for who we are. So, let me say this loud and clear:

We're here and WE'RE NERDS!

Oh, and some of us are gay, deal with it. 😎🖖🏻🤟🏻

Sometimes I wish I was a writer, just because I have a lot of fun little ideas that pop into my head.

I'd have loved to have seen Voyager's EMH use his mobile emitter to walk on the outside of the ship. Maybe to diagnose a spacefaring lifeform in distress, or help a stranded crewman.

Oh man, YES. Especially if it's like "Cause and Effect." Announce to them they were reported lost 800 - 900 years ago.

If they do a "Relics" episode maybe just bring in 1 crewman. Id vote for T'Lyn. 🤔 see how she processes the trauma of losing her closest friends.

I modeled my wardrobe after her. She had amazing style on and off screen. I still want to be her when I grow up. 💚

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Phlox's Film Fest of Frights
Today's theme - Vampire movies!

Now Showing: The Lost Boys (1987)

#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekEnterprise
Top panel: For movie night, the Enterprise crew are gathered in the mess hall to watch The Lost Boys (1987). On screen is Kiefer Sutherland as David. He's talking to someone off-screen, "What, you don't like rice? Tell me Michael, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong?" Bottom panel: Phlox is in the audience looking slightly put off. He says, "Oh, please don't do this... I happen to LIKE Chinese food..."

I started my transition at 29, but I can remember wanting to be a girl since I was 5. Took me a long time to get there but we all move at our own pace. If I could have come out id have done so much sooner but it wasnt safe and I wasnt ready. I got there eventually.

Armus in the Star Trek: Lower Decks animated series getting pranked. In first panel, Boimler's voice comes from nowhere, saying "we're touching your stuff," as Armus appears confused. In second panel, an angry Armus yells, "WHAT STUFF?"
