I am not saying you have to send me every video or meme related to Sisko or DS9 but I am saying that you should

@ayoub.bsky.social ICYMI, essential Kira content. I cannot take credit for finding it. That was @beaucoupkevin.com. (This time with the TikTok properly embedded)

With the words given to us by wonderful folks, we formed a poem, written in multiple voices, followed by a litany, a prayer for these times.
Poetry knows more than we know, and in between the lines and voices, we hope you find somewhere to live and love 🌹

Which Star Trek do you think is the least queer? And I don’t mean in terms of literal LGBTQ representation, I mean more in ethos. I’m curious for a possible video topic.

Star Trek Starfleet Academy is a Discovery spinoff that starts off with a ton of BIPOC and whose target audience is not millennial/Gen X white dudes - so of course it's getting a ton of reactionary hate. God damn, I'm so tired of these boring people with boring opinions.

Latest @thestartrekpod.bsky.social dropped, and I really enjoy listening to new voices (invited by @joyfulcarla.bsky.social and @ayoub.bsky.social) talking about their trek through politics.

Waiting for them to invite @aoifemod.bsky.social and @colinmurray.bsky.social to talk radical law and NI.

Goodbye Paramount.

I was only there for the Star Trek hookup, and I am 100 percent certain Major Kira would kick my ass if I stuck around with these cowards.

This leaves us all with what you might call "the Orion route."
