I don't post much, but @mitnerd36.bsky.social is a dear friend of mine who is trying to help a couple in need.

Please help if you can, or signal boost.

What would the job listing read like, I wonder?

"Please be advised that all screams may be monitored and recorded for quality assurance. An agent will be with you momentarily to receive your anguish."

"Thank you for contacting the Void. Your scream is important to us. We are currently experiencing a higher-than-normal volume of existential cries. Please hold, and the next available agent of darkness will be with you shortly."

Yup, that's me. I bet you're wondering how I ended up like this...

If your demographic form asks for “sex assigned at birth” but doesn’t ask for current gender identity, you’re not merely collecting data. you’re erasing people. It’s 2025. We know better. Do better, Walgreens

So that magic 3.5% number, how's that working out for us?

Many of us cautioned that without plans and followup action, that day of protest would be largely performative and ultimately useless.

We got yelled at, and yet...

Screenshot art from Star Trek Online capturing a dance scene on Risa. Characters are silhouetted against a beautiful sunset, with warm light reflecting on the water. Several wear swim trunks or two-piece outfits, while one character sports a tuxedo and top hat and another a yellow "Strange New Worlds" uniform... with a similarly colored mini top hat

Do the sidestep!!!

A DVD box cover parody titled 'Chicago Pope,' modeled after 'Chicago Hope.' The cover features Pope Leo XIV replacing the medical staff. The title has been altered to read 'Chicago Pope'

This is the first thing I thought of when someone said "Chicago Pope."

Tonight I watched DS9’s “Far Beyond the Stars” again.

It’s astounding [derogatory] how relevant it continues to be.

I’d picked up the bundle for Space Barbie, and when I tried to build the Galaxy I was super disappointed.

this is a terribly done meme of the lady in the yellow dress holding a man on her hip like a baby while pointing at another woman. the lady holding the man has the title card of “fissure quest” badly added. the man she’s holding has “canon” written in the star trek font. and the third lady facing the pair has “rick berman” badly added in the star trek font

faith of the heart friday means once again acknowledging the entire lower decks’ team to amending canon to the way fans want it to be 🫶🏼

Cover: fictional Fleet Action Report magazine cover features the iconic USS Enterprise starship against a starfield firing its phasers. The subheading "Legendary Constitution" and various other sections of text are visible. Contents Page: The contents page showcases a variety of articles, including a feature on building the legendary Constitution, a personality quiz, a guide to an Ice/Cold ground combat setup, a preview of the Q's Winter Wonderland event, a spotlight on top carrier ships, and interviews with developers and community members. Additionally, there are sections on news, tech, player stories, fleet spotlights, and more.

A spread from (the fictional) Fleet Action Report magazine, focusing on building a legendary Constitution-class starship in Star Trek Online. The left page features an introduction and an image of the ship, while the right page details the setup, gear, traits, and performance of the build. The article includes a quiz to determine the reader's personality from their preferred energy weapon type.

Intro to Graphic Design final: Magazine Design Project

Design a 4-page magazine layout, including a cover, table of contents, and 2-page spread.

Use principles of hierarchy, framing, grid, and color scheme to create a cohesive design. Include images, captions, and a clear layout.

She's aiming a pair of sic-fi pistols at the camera and to the right. Behind her is a winter landscape that includes trees and a stone structure from which a massive gummy fish is suspended by a rope.

I put the finishing touches on my Graphic Design final this morning! I also made this image for it; it wouldn't be a 'me' project without Tabby somewhere in there!

@darthdragonborn107.bsky.social was kind enough to help me with an Obena for a DemoRecord so I can get images for one of my art finals. I'm repaying he kindness with an art :)

Testing one of my older art pieces that has posted successfully before to see if it's a me thing or a BlueSky thing

@support.bsky.team what's going on with my images? i've tried a variety of formats, sizes, color profiles. I've looked at them on different browsers and devices, the app.

extreme closeup, forward view of the USS Enterprise. In the background is Earth with a rising sun, creating a flare effect behind the bridge of the ship

not my best piece, but I zipped this out in about 15 minutes using a 'ship' layer from DemoRecord and a random shot of Earth from Pexels, plus a bunch of layer effects and adjustments.

I think it’s the nacelles, mostly. The size, shape, angle, pylons.

The saucer, neck, and front half of secondary hull are fine. I like lines, shapes, and textures.

It’s when you get to those pylons that it gets weird
