Thanks! I've also done little black cats for my kid's volunteer dance teacher pre-pandemic, back when it was easier to do things quickly:
Small black and grey frame around a cross stitch of black cats on a line with ribbons sewn on three of them to look like skirts or tutus, and black stitched text that says, "Expert Cat Herder".

Thanks! My walls are covered in so many Enterprise D posters. I have one similar to this as well:
My home office wall with posters of DS9, Enterprise D side diagram, Enterprise D cutaway diagram, many TNG and other nerdy toys, and a printout underneath the DS9 poster of Shax calling it a tacky fascist Cardassian eyesore.

When you were a Very Good Girl who finished her WIP before ordering next project supplies but now it'll be a week before they arrive, so you are working on another WIP but it's a different craft that hurts your fancy new arthritis and all you wanna do is start the new thing wahhh....

I finally finished this Enterprise D LCARS cross stitch! Was supposed to take about a year, but longcovid had other plans for my brain and ability to count. So it's been over four years instead. It has a bazillion-jillion stitches in it.

15/08/2025 Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Incoming Transmission... Writing you all a prescription today to more freely block terrible people across your social media feeds. It's not your job to "debate" every bigot or disprove every ridiculous conspiracy theory. You are allowed to enjoy social things without taking that burden on. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

06/06/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... It is not your job to teach adults in your life how to treat you with basic respect. You don't have to give them extra chances to learn. You don't owe them conversations where they get to abuse you further for merely stating your boundaries. You are not a practice punching bag.

Indeed. It's something I have @spacedadsupport.bsky.social say frequently. On his Tumblr version, he tags it with "you are not the fuckface whisperer".
25/09/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... It is your duty to be a good, kind, compassionate person within your community and the wider world. It is not your duty to single-handedly fix every problem nor every problematic person. Be part of wonderful things but do not weigh yourself down with burdens that are not yours.

I feel like there's probably also a joke to be had with Picard's line about things being impossible until they are not somewhere in here...…
An office wall with words that appear to say, "No Everything Im Is Possible," probably intending by placement to simultaneously say both "everything is possible" and "nothing is impossible" but the spacing doesn't work. Below is the still of Data and Lore in the corridor.

Reminds me of this meme:
Classic meme of a picture of Data from Star Trek cut off just below his nose with blank space following, and then text that says, "Insufficient Data."

TBH I hadn't noticed it had a number until you mentioned it. I scored it on ebay last year and was very excited to see it for such a low price. But apparently it's 163779.

My hands are still a hot mess of arthritis/trigger thumb most of the time but I discovered I can turn an icord knitting mill well enough, so I made this!

Book cover. Text: SpaceDad Stories: The Dreams We Dare to Dream, Book Three, A Work of Fan Fiction by Kimberly Chapman. Images from top down: Anna White dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz but with Anna's artificial right leg, appearing to stand atop Starbase 84 with a tan-yellow planet in the background. The Enterprise D is coming out of the starbase. At the bottom is Geordi La Forge looking towards Data and Jean-Luc Picard. Data's chest is open to reveal an old style of telephone, the receiver of which is in Picard's hand. A faint, ghostly image of Locutus hovers behind Picard.

two panels of Picard and Riker sitting at a table with Riker facepalming in the second. First panel, Picard says, "I upgraded the ship to run on herbs." Second panel he says, "We are now capable of thyme travel."

@bruceshark.bsky.social saw this on FB and thought of you. 🥰
Tumblr screenshot with text that says, "the-rain-monster At any given moment there is a shark behind you. It might be a thousand miles away, but there is a shark behind you. friedcherryblossomprincess And that shark is totally behind you. It is supporting you in whatever you do and wants you to succeed." The word totally is italicised for emphasis.

Nah man this is Doctor 14 as a cat:

We both came from a place of respect and a nerdy desire to talk about comic books. We discovered that we both understood the word, "BADASS." That was a lot of fun. We gestured, we franglaised, we had such fun. And outside the train station in Paris on the way home I even saw "BADASS" on a poster:
The top portion of a small poster billboard for a Hellboy movie in Paris, with a label on top that says, "UN SUPER-HEROS SUPER-BADASS!"

4 panel meme of screenshots from Brooklyn 99 but with custom text over it. From left to right, Jake is staring into a car window and says "I'm a Star Trek fan." Zooey Deschanel replies "Name the chief concern of 700 different episodes" Jake replies "An interrogation of ethics" Zooey says "That's on me, I set the bar too low."

Bahaha I have a collection of these, including the two above...

This is me coming back from an appointment in March. It's actually a still from a video I'm working on that my Trek friends will hopefully enjoy. :D
