  • Hey, I’m not sure if you know how un accepting your snarky jab is. It’s very un trek like.

    I’m also not sure you appreciate how important representation is. It is very important that people see and read themselves in stories. It could save someone’s life. That importance cannot be understated or taken for granted.

    This was likely tailored to the demographic that Picard serves. And while the writing wasn’t elegant, it’s still something. Hopefully it leads to more, as this character development is now canon.

    Society is slowly crawling out of hetero normative times, where it is thankfully starting to be more common than ever to see diverse identity mainstream.

    Millennials still have a streak of heteronormative thinking and cynicism, but hopefully they are one of the last generations to experience the closet.



  • If this pleases you, then know the Colorado General Assembly is now in session! It is a part time legislature. So act now.

    Register to vote and learn about who your rep is.

    It is very easy to sign up to testify in support of or against bills “Remotely via Zoom” on the below link.

    It’s really important to support good bills, like loan repayment programs for mental health workers, universal healthcare reforms, and increasing housing equity. And it’s just as vital to stand against bills like income tax cuts (like in Texas), which runs against how Colorado finances work, and only benefit the wealthy. And bills seeking to take away voting rights, or curtail mail ballots.

    Colorado lawmaking is wild. It’s the first time democrats have had a majority in several ways, but it is also a microcosm for the political/culture war bs that plagues the nation.

    Positive social change is a lunch pail job, day in and day out.
