/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

I am.
Upvoting bc you are participating in this conversation.
And there, we just connected, however little.
Most of us have little idea how much we all are - connected I mean. Our brains tend to lie. But simply by being here, we are. I'm not even trying to convince you of that, believe it or not, simply stating a fact:-).
Whether you want it to be true or not, it is a fact! So (now I am switching to trying to convince you btw:-) I hope you can see that! Whatever comes up tomorrow or even later today, that much is undeniable!
Take care of yourself ⭐ Trekkie ✨ friend. Please, for all of our sakes? Otherwise, how can you be there (support, like financial, encouragement, teaching, etc.) for those who may need you, later on?
Find somewhere to scream if you need to. I've been hitting the gym myself 💪 - maybe it'll even help, regarding that one issue in isolation of all else, but I'll take whatever I can get at this point!? 👉😉
Connected doesn't mean "not alone".
There's only so much people can get from symbols on a screen, no matter if I know they're there because of another actual consciousness.
Please don't tell me what to do.
Fair. Yeah, you aren't terribly connected to me that's true. Though you are to those around you, geographically. Paying taxes, blocking light, breathing air (which helps plants as they need that feedback in order to keep cycling carbon), etc. I cannot tell you what to do that's true - nor would you listen if I tried - but you can't stop me from hoping that you will be okay!
(I did not make the image below, but it does illustrate how people that are okay are... also not, at the same time, if you know what I mean!? I'll state it explicitly: people that are fully okay today are not okay!?!?!?!?!?)
So, whatever your intent may have been, thank you for encouraging me by indicating that I am not alone either. We share our pain, all of us, together. Which doesn't lessen it one bit, but does give me hope for the future. Maybe one where the USA has fallen or become the bad guy, but whatever - I can't control that, only myself. And I said exactly what I meant to here, so therefore I view this message as a success:-).
