Our social media has been quiet for a while, but behind the scenes we've been as busy as the lower decks on red alert! Very exciting things are happening here at The Zine Directive... 👀 We are starting to build the actual physical zine and we couldn't be more excited! Stay tuned for more updates!

sorry for disappearing off bsky for a while!!! i'm not particularly social media disposed, so starting the new tumblr has been putting me at my mental limit since i resurrected it lol. i'll be back soon, promise! <3

I am not so good with the social media, but I wanted to share this info. If you or other #spirk fans can help me signal boost it for our beloved T'Lara, I'd appreciate it! www.gofundme.com/f/help-l-bea...

not to be emo in the year 2025 but i genuinely wonder if i will ever not feel like the only person in a crowd who doesn't have a person

This month is proving to be a really hard one financially too and I'm still recovering from surgery. I'm also almost out of cash with bills still coming 🫠 So if you can afford it pls think of donating to my Ko-Fi. Shares are also most welcome! 💜✨ ko-fi.com/purpleenma/

when my mother asks what i'm doing for thanksgiving and offers to buy me a "better bra" in the same text:

This is absolutely true. 😀

thanks everyone. trying not to spiral too much because i still have my part time job at least, but that was my main source of income so... :/ but! i've thought about that enough. time to go back to being excited :) if you want to follow, here's the blog: www.tumblr.com/the-uss-prem...

things that happened today: 1: i made a new tumblr! (good) 2: i got laid off (bad) 3: i lost my weed and now can't afford to buy more (devastating)

I used to live in Stirling so I have a nice little collection of photos of the Wallace monument from a distance. Felt like I could always see it!

Kirk and Picard need to be switched on the Nerd/Jock axis. Picard won all the runner’s medals, played pool, and started fights in bars. Kirk was a book worm who played chess, was considered grimly serious, and was regularly harassed by a bully.

it's interesting that fandom girlies in the 70s/80s didn't really care about city on the edge of forever despite it being the most popular episode now... i can't imagine that it was just because kirk had a serious love interest, but maybe??

"ellison’s goal is to turn paramount into a maga-friendly environment" snw seasons 4 & 5 are going to be... something... haha....

Saturn Rises Behind A World of Haze - From Ian Regan - https://flic.kr/p/2fpiy2Z

hello please look at my beautiful wife it's mandatory

he is so.......

korby: "can you imagine how life could be improved if we could do away with jealousy, greed, hate?" kirk: "it can also be improved by eliminating love, tenderness, sentiment. the other side of the coin." what i wouldn't give for spock to have been there JUST for a reaction shot to these lines

(s1e8) back to back scenes where kirk is being physically lifted and thrown then ordered to kiss an android who proceeds to slap him in the face is such a rollercoaster. he's having at least six awakenings in this episode alone
