Enterprise = Starfleet's flagship. It's arguably the best post to have. DS9 is a literal mess when SIkso arrives and he doesn't even want to be there at first, for both personal/professional reasons. Cardassian technology and architecture are embedded into it - creating technical difficulties as well as being a visual reminder looming over everybody. I think it's a pretty good b/g metaphor for how deep-rooted the effects of colonialism are.(cont.)#startrek #ds9

The government wants to decide how to reform this, but I worry that a lot of transphobes (TERFs specifically) are filling this out. Even if like me, you're cis, fill it in to negate their hatred.https://consult.education.gov.uk/government-equalities-office/reform-of-the-gender-recognition-act/I found this a quick read/parts of it helpful/insightful beforehand:https://consult.education.gov.uk/government-equalities-office/reform-of-the-gender-recognition-act/user_uploads/final-gra-consultation-easy-read-lo-res_v3.pdfAlso, you don't have to fill it in all at once! (I haven't) You can return to it later (but before the 19th)

@Secondary_world it's really weird how many people here (not just older generations) are proud of the British Empire

nobody asked, but over the past 8 years, this has consistently been my favourite website. It's just full of bad 00's wallpapers. I recommend the 3D and Films sections!http://www.gtwallpaper.com/

NASA has made all of its media library publicly available/copyright free! I'm hoping there's enough stuff here for me to make a real crap sci fi filmhttps://images.nasa.gov/

I only just realised that the actress playing Dr Pulaski in TNG (Diana Muldaur) is in two original series episodes (Return to Tomorrow S2E20, 'Is There in Truth No Beauty?' S3E5)Each incarnation with a doctorate#startrek

@Are0h @SallyStrange @djsumdog*onlooker steps in* The demand for a 'source' for something twice is kinda antagonistic when that evidence is so easily searchable. I'm not anti-providing links/resources in discussions to allow for understanding etc. - but repeatedly asking for a verified reference to a statement instead of just a quick google shows a higher willingness to argue than to learn.

Also, I'll take the opportunity to post this Escher piece called "Three Worlds" - which is what sprang to my mind as I was snapping those pics of the pavement. I thiiink it's my favourite piece by him? At least one of my favourites.

@extinct You probably have stretches down already - but I've found this a useful reference. I don't do all of them, but I find the Cat/Cow quite useful. I think there's a variation of the Cat/Cow where you also go into "Resting Child" (I can't remember when/the breathing for that) which is the same but with arms stretched out in front.

The Enterprise theme should have been I'm Like a Bird by Nelly Furtado. Here, look, it's great.Title sequence (mute/watch):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmQsrXLofMYI'm like a bird (listen):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vHH2pOzuMA
