I don’t remember which one of my friends ( @vocaltomes.bsky.social ? ) got suspended from Facebook because they were celebrating James Cook getting whacked out of existence but this is what I too choose to celebrate today 🙌🏾 🎉

In our daily installment of our new series “what did I do online that made Trekkies mad”
