Screenshot of the official @StarTrekMovie profile on Twitter, showing that yours truly is one of the 144 accounts it follows.

Since #StarTrek movies are top of mind ( #Section31 get hype), and Twitter is increasingly irrelevant, I thought I'd commemorate the fact that the official @StarTrekMovie account still follows me (and not too many others) over there. There's a rather boring reason, but it's still kinda neat. 🙃🖖

Well, this is something. I can bridge to my mastodon and my threads accounts now: @blookins.social.sdf.org.ap.brid.gy @b.lookins.threads.net.ap.brid.gy
Next step is to figure out if that’s actually useful… 🤔

I generally listen to music “wrong” for these wrap-ups to be interesting. I just… listen to complete albums. Always. And I avoid repeating anything. So Top Album is whatever had the longest runtime. And Top Song is whatever had the most versions.

I seem to be getting a regular influx of followers here… which is cool, but also, I haven’t posted anything in a year and a half. I started following a fair number of starter packs, so most are just follow-backs. Or bots with 10s of thousands of follows. 🙄 But a bunch are real people? So um… hi?

A montage of Star Trek logos used throughout the eras, both for the main series, films and for official merchandise. It is arranged roughly chronologically with the newer logos near the bottom.

And in the spirit of contributing content, here’s my latest new toy: an original iBook G3 dual-booting Mac OS X and Mac OS 9. And also my cat.

So hey, this is a new thing. To be honest, I rather like Mastodon, and I’m not big on social-whatevers anyway. But, I’m always down to try out something different. So, we’ll see how this goes.
