@tobyhadoke.bsky.social any ideas, sir? If anyone knows the names of the people unidentified in the alt-text it’ll be yourself
If anyone can help name any of the unidentified people at this 1988(?) #DoctorWho convention in Bath, I’d be much obliged

Column 5L on the Commemoration wall at #StarfleetAcademy features 11 names of characters we previously met on various #StarTrek shows + films. From the 23rd century, there are Hugh Culber (very much alive in the 32nd century), Airiam, Clark Terrell (nope, both not alive) and Dr. Gillian Taylor.🧵 1/2

Various bowls and plates of Earth fruit are seen on the planet Platonius in #StarTrekTOS' "Plato's Stepchildren". Apples, pears and grapes can be made out. We're slowly coming to the end of my "Food and Beverages on #TOS" research. :-)

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
