No no no no I peeked at Twitter and got into an argument about female Jen Hadar… I need to throw my phone far far away…

Look what’s in the window of my local LEGO store! (Listening to the couple next to me while I took this photo: “Darling, how much do we have in the roof fund again?”)

Seeing this mere hours after I interacted with a Famous Author on BlueSky… luckily the only money I handed over was when I bought her book 😂

Post your favourite Star Trek character(s). Wrong answers only.

Happy December, fellow Trekkies. #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG youtu.be/xteKObnaA2c?...

“Cracked Mirror” has so many great moments but Murf pretending to be scared might just top the list. That’s saying something considering this had the Janeway/ Chakotay reunion people had been waiting over 20 years for, AND Goatee Murf & “Even the whales are evil!” #StarTrekProdigy

I have read the comments and can confirm: though many of them seem to have sisters, none of them have actually read Goblin Market. #ChristinaRosetti #WeirdTeaTowels

Did everyone else know there are lesbians in the Count of Monte Christo? In the actual book published in 1846? (I realise this is an extremely random comment but I’m listening to the book and… wow, well done Alexandre for knowing lesbians exist as well as gay men.)

Prodigy “Observer Paradox:” HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS BEFORE Gwyn: “You said you had my back. Do you?” Dal: “Always.” (Cue the laughter of a million JC shippers who spotted it right away last year 🤦‍♀️) #StarTrekProdigy

They need to start thinking outside the box. When they’ve worked out the solution, they need to send a future version of themselves back in time to tell their past selves how to get the DVD distribution working. (Destroying the Borg along the way would be a bonus.)

"you eat a lot of bread" god forbid an englishman reap the benefits of the repeal of the corn laws

Hologram Janeway. Supernova. Right up there with Jadzia. #StatTrekProdigy

Aaargh Trevor Phillips and Zack Polanski talking about the news reader’s eye roll at “pregnant people”: Phillips says if trans women are women why say “people”? Polanski seems a bit confused and says news readers should be neutral. DO NEITHER OF THEM REALISE THE POINT IS TO INCLUDE TRANS MEN 🤦‍♀️

Rewatching “Asylum.” Frex: You’ve come to the right place. Starfleet welcomes all kinds. Now, please walk through this scanner so I can categorise you by species.” (In their defence the episodes are half an hour long and we needed to know Murf was a Mellanoid slime worm.) #StarTrekProdigy

COVID-19 vaccine access in the UK is no longer universal. That’s bad policy! Sign the petition to restore free access for all. #VaccinesForAll #LongCovid #PublicHealth Please share widely in your own networks: WhatsApp, Nextdoor, Threads, Facebook, Instagram, et al. www.change.org/Make-Covid-V...

I want to start a petition, will you sign it? 'Make the COVID vaccine universally available, free of charge, to protect us all. Provide the resources required to ensure that the vaccine is available for all who would benefit from it, regardless of age.' petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

The best and most correct hot take.

The EHRC has sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life. The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret? Use our tool to email your MP: tinyurl.com/scrap-the-ba... #ScrapTheBathroomBan

Sexy kobyashi maru prodigy? I knew not bothering to capitalise would come back to bite me.

Help! My Prodigy episode finished and Prime Video thought I would like to watch The Secret of NIMH. I can’t remember anything about it beyond a general deep-seated terror. Do I: A) watch it B) not watch it C) Turn off the TV, run out of my house, drive to my parents house & hide behind their sofa?

The first time I watched the #StarTrekProdigy episode Kobyashi Maru I panicked that I’d missed the announcement of Gates McFadden’s death.

New headcannon: Dr Noum is a medical doctor but after his attempt to make Janeway give up coffee, he decided he needed a career change and retrained in delivering CBT. (I know CBT isn’t counselling, I just have a gut feeling Noum really likes it.) #StarTrekProdigy

I’m rewatching #StarTrekProdigy, and I think I’m going to go out on a limb and say Gwyn is my favourite character in the entire franchise. A brilliant role model for girls. We needed to see so much more of her. (And I’m only on episode 2!)

No hospital is immune to healthcare-associated infections. When they are underreported or ignored, outbreaks spread. Patients suffer. Trust is damaged. We must stop treating infection reporting as a reputational threat. It’s not. It’s a public health duty. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I’m watching The Loss and getting a bit tired of people being awful about disability. Which is extra annoying because I used to really like this episode. #StarTrekTNG

Legally Blonde, and Miss Piggy is… I don’t need to spell it out do I?

No, sorry, I take it all back. Facebook is hilarious.

I can’t believe I ever followed #StarTrek Facebook pages. Now whenever a random page pops up on my feed all the comments are right-wing NuTrek haters. I’ve just seen one say “go woke, go broke.” ABOUT STAR TREK 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

We think the UK government should ensure that management of healthcare associated infections (HCAI) is extended to include recording data on COVID infections spread within hospitals. That’s why we signed this petition. Please join us - if you haven’t already. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

In memoriam...

Well, I’ve left my old management job, and I have a week off before I start my new non-management job! So now I can finally say to the guy who replied to my tweet about imposter syndrome around being the boss for the first time by saying I’d probably throw my team under the bus…I didn’t.

Ok I think the replies have answered my own question, but I really need to know if the Americans are interpreting this the same way British & Irish people are. And I’ll contribute“Devil’s knob” because it sounds like a landmark somewhere on an English moor.

Ouch. Happy birthday, #StarTrekTNG

I am so angry that come the next election, thanks to the FPTP system and local voting patterns, If I don’t want either the rabid fascists or the other rabid fascits to win the seat, I will have to vote for the people who want to appeal to the rabid fascists. I am so sick of this.

There a Facebook account that just popped up on my feed which must be not only a bot but a pretty rubbish bot. They’re claiming Patrick Stewart didn’t like the lionfish in Picard’s ready room because it was “difficult to work with” (Actual reason afaik: he thought it was cruel to the fish.)

It’s 8 years since the launch of #Discovery, which is always a bittersweet day for me, because it begins the countdown to the 8-year anniversary of my brother’s death. He died in the mid-season hiatus and it breaks my heart that he never saw the end of the season. He’d have loved it. 🧵 1/7

Watching “Remember Me.” The Traveller is here and he talked about time, space and thought! I was unreasonably excited when he said it. #StarTrekTNG #StarTrekProdigy

Watching “Suddenly Human.” I wish someone had told the TNG writers that Stockholm Syndrome is not a real thing. It makes Beverly look a bit silly when she talks about it, here and in The High Ground.

Watching “Brothers.” This is hardly news but Dr Soong is a terrible parent. It’s not true, Data, not all humans have children because they want a sense of immortality. Some of them just love their kids! And those of us without children are not doomed to a life without meaning. #StarTrekTNG

I’m just a girl, standing in front of a bunch of Sunday morning news show pundits, begging them not to talk wistfully about a “Love Actually moment” without understanding what happened in Love Actually. Criticise Starmer for all the other things. Not this.

THE LOVE ACTUALLY PM GOT SHAFTED BY THE US PRESIDENT AND LET HIM HARRASS HIS STAFF. HE IS NOT A HERO. The President got the deal he wanted. The PM just made a speech *afterwards* claiming he’d do better next time. And he only did that because he was jealous and wanted to harass said staff himself.

What’s your favourite Tuvok moment? I love the episode where he loses his memory and ironically I have forgotten the title! A beautiful, vulnerable performance by Tim Russ as Tuvok struggles with his brain damage and leans on Neelix. #StarTrekVoyager

Not my fault.

This is why I have trouble putting my phone down. Doomscrolling… see bad things… continue scrolling… eventually see this…
