![Star Trek The Original Series scene. Noteworthy best friends forever Kirk and Spock stand close to one another in soap opera blocking. Kirk slightly ahead looking forward, Spock just behind also looking forward at some unknown thing. Closed caption reads, "[MEOW]"](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/430/656/858/129/469/original/23e3c91c83a330c9.jpg)

After years dabbling in #StarTrek I’m enjoying rediscovering it with my son, who’s been aware of it but never immersed himself in the series or films. Besides watching choice episodes we’re diving into #StarTrekAttackWing to bring Trek to life on the #wargames table.

I love how explanations for budget restrictions and technological limits such as using sets from other TV shows, hence all the 'cowboy planets' ,and the rubber-headed humanoids being dominant in story lines because CGI hadn't been invented, ...can take on a life of its own.
Hence "Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development"
It's even referenced in later Star Trek episodes, how neat is that!

A preview image of the back of the Star Trek Ships of the Line 2026 calendar, featuring each month's artwork. I have highlighted my own (March), a depiction of USS Voyager exploring a strange, new world.

Since the cat is out of the bag. I have some amazing news. I got the opportunity to be part of the 2026 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar.
It was an incredible experience and a dream come true as a Star Trek fan / artist. I'm so honored to share a spot with such an amazing group of artists. Congratulations to you all. 🖖

I'm building a sci-fi world that is prewarp, #solarpunk, #hopepunk, that is an alternative to #startrek's war-ridden prewarp earth. Is that interesting to you?

@georgetakei this was my favorite sign at the #HandsOff protest in San Francisco.
Even the Buddhists are upset.
(BTW, he gave me permission to photograph him, but his companion declined, however, when she saw my Vulcan ears & #StarTrek TNG jacket, she gave me the Vulcan salute!)
My sign read:
#DOGE Boys, Hands Off ALL our computer systems.
In fiction, Dr. Daystrom's M5 was shut down after it killed people.
Will DOGE & Musk be stopped when their AI computer systems kill people?
Why not?

This is the way. Write your pension fund, school, city comptroller and demand divestment from Tesla.

Was watching #StarTrek Discovery last night and saw an example of a common #SciFi scene that irks me: "Oh, is that a book, I've never seen one in person before, how quaint, isn't that inefficient mass to storage..."
It bugged me in #TheExpanse too.
Because like, we've been doing digital computers for a while now and if anything, storage has gotten more volatile, not less. Meanwhile, I'm just someone who wanders used bookstores and buys cool things and I have 19th Century #books. Intact.

Every time I see someone giggling about how waste (poop) must get put into the replicator system to be broken down into its component molecules and then reasembled into various things (often food) I think, "You really don't understand how farming works, do you?"

Dorothy Fontana (I think) told a funny story about the #StarTrek TOS Orion slave girl and her green makeup.
No one had told the film editor that the girl was supposed to be green. So when he first saw the film, she wasn't very green at this point, he color corrected until her skin color looked better.
Director saw the result, and she wasn't green at all! So they redid the makeup to make it even more vibrantly green.

Looking at a cut on my hand then thinking about the “instant” healing of Star Trek (and it’s not just StarTrek) devices. Inject a drug/vaccine and magically it cures!
And then I imagine just how much *heat* that would cause healing at that speed and the burns as the body heals?

Regarding existing tropes: natural influences include #startrek, #theexpanse, #firefly, etc.:
- Political, military, and trade conflicts
- Mind-bending encounters beyond the known, often in the name of science
- Slice-of-life stuff: breakdowns, conflicts among crew, etc.
What other common tropes do folks want to see?

"IDIC represents a Vulcan belief that beauty, growth, progress--all result from the union of the unlike...The brotherhood of man is an ideal based on learning to delight in our essential differences, as well as learning to recognize our similarities. The circle and triangle combine to produce the gemstone in the center as the union of words and music creates song, or the union of marriage creates children."Gene Roddenberry
Diversity makes us better. And is worth fighting for.
