I lost these on the metro in DC circa 2012. 😭 Knit myself another pair but then didn’t want to wear handknit gloves out of the house because they’re too easy to lose. #ShowMeYourKnits

Female sci-fi fan and Trekkie here.🖖

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

Literally all of them say they’re experiencing higher than normal call volume.

Customer service line pet peeves: have to get past a chatbot, then keeps saying “we are experiencing higher than normal call volume” and tries to refer me to the website. If I found what I needed on the website, I wouldn’t be calling.

“…employees are often more productive and satisfied when they control where and when they work. Flexible workplaces are also more inclusive, supporting women, people of color, caregivers and those with chronic health conditions.”
