Hi there, I'm Michael! I finally jumped over from the bad place. I'm a software developer, 3D designer with an Etsy store, queer, left-wing, massive nerd about Star Trek and Sonic the Hedgehog. Might actually post more here. LLAP! 🖖😁

Oh yes I will be writing an essay about how the SNW episode “Four and a Half Vulcans” is wildly offensive and normalizing race science that was mainstream and popular in United States in the 1850s

Like Disco called this shit terrorism

What the fuck is this regressive bullshit

Picked a random TNG episode to watch for #StarTrekDay and it was S2 Time Squared. Love that the episode starts with 5 minutes of Riker cooking bad eggs. 😅

Such an amazing day, and began the the trend of me always having to take two suitcases full of merch to Sonic cons. 🙃 Loved meeting some of the #sonicthecomic folks for the first time, bought my first original STC art from Nigel, and got to play Sonic Colours a few months before I was released! 🤩

From the Nitpicker's Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers, published in 1996. The reviewer didn't think the state of the United States in 2024 as shown in the episode Past Tense, Part 1 was believable. Sounds like @roberthewittwolfe.bsky.social and Ira Steven Behr were pretty close....
Text from the book: "I wanna know what happens between now and A.D. 2024 to create the environment we see in this episode. Note that people are being detained against their will simply because they don’t have an ID! Apparently if you are just strolling down the street, a policeman can walk up to you and demand to see your identification, and if you don’t have it, you get hauled off and interned WITHOUT a trial for an INDETERMINATE amount of time! What happened to the Bill of Rights? Is the United States of America under martial law at this point? It would almost have to be. That would explain the fact that freedom of the press apparently has been rescinded as well. I have an extraordinarily difficult time believing that the media simply have no interest in what goes on within these sanctuaries." Shared from Cordelia and Connie Willis.

Pride is all about celebrating who we are. But it can also bring up difficult feelings. Especially if you’ve been treated badly because you’re LGBTQIA+. 1/2
A PRIDE progress flag in the shape of a heart. Being LGBTQIA+ isn't a mental health problem. And it doesn't cause mental health problems. But discrimination, being judged or misunderstood can take a toll on our mental health.

Feels like decades since I last caught up with Ryo. Hopefully @iningames.bsky.social and @sega.jp @sega-west.bsky.social find a partner and reveal the next chapter in his epic story soon! #LetsGetShenmue4 #Shenmue

Transgender rights are human rights.

This International Day of Transgender Visibility, Amnesty Feminists remind us that transgender existence is not up for debate.

We must support the transgender community and demand an end to transgender hate crimes.

Rhythm & Hues Studios - a visual effects and animation company created the #DS9 wormhole effects if memory serves. Anyone out there with skills tried emulating/recreating it?
I'm interested in how much of a challenge it is with todays tech? Any VFX wizards out there care to fill me in?

I'll never get tired of the Sonic avatar creators mostly being a selection of Sonic themed kink wear. 😅

Love the new Sonic Channel avatar creator! I'd love more options as it's still as limited as the Forces version but it's great to see it back! Anyone else wish they'd bring it back fully for a game with loads of options? #sonicthehedgehog #sonicchannel

Wouldn’t it be great if instead of just “thank you” credits at the end of the movies that make millions based on their work comic creators got big fucking royalty cheque.

#Wonderfalls deserves so much more love than it gets! If you haven't seen it before and enjoy Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me, go watch it! If you've not seen those, go watch all three shows! And if you've seen them before? Go watch them again! 😅

Okay hear me out. Star Trek: Risa, it’s White Lotus but all the characters are Starfleet people on shore leave mingling with locals and aliens and their dark secrets are that they’re all fucking candle ghosts and shit.

I'm excited to delve further into the background of Emperor Georgiou once this is released. Disco's take on the mirror universe has always been a smart one and there's a lot of potential for a cautionary tale of a world where humanity indulges it's worst impulses. Especially now. #StarTrekDiscovery

STAR TREK SECTION 31 (the comic book) comes out next week, and there are previews up now. I understand why people may be not be interested in this book, but I assure you that it rules. Hopefully these pages will pique your interest, because I loved working on it. aiptcomics.com/2025/02/21/i...
