06/12/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... When you observe true kindness, add to it. Join in if you are able or at least give kind words to those performing the acts of kindness. You will feel better about yourself and others in doing so. This is the foundation of community.

05/12/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... You have what it takes to do wonderful things in your life. I am certain of this. You have that within you, even if you doubt it yourself.

04/12/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Stop beating yourself up for things you had to do in order to survive. By all means continue to acknowledge your wrongdoings, but aim your outrage at the people and systems that necessitated them, not yourself or others who were forced into them.

03/12/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Your harmless coping mechanisms are legitimate even if nobody else performs, requires, or understands them. If validation for your coping mechanisms helps you further, then I hereby give you that validation. Keep going. You can do this.

01/12/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Lift each other up and ask to be lifted when you require it. Never hesitate to lend or request support. Our only way through this is together.

30/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... When we persevere through our weakest times we are actually at our strongest, yet in those moments we tend to only notice our shortcomings. We need others around us to remind us how strong we really are and that our weaknesses are not failings.

29/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Put solid boundaries around your generosity so you may continue to give to your heart's content without being used or abused for it.

You are indeed. However, we are communicating via a subspace channel currently anchored in 2025, so I chose to use the title you have assigned yourself on that channel. I always use the pronouns and titles people indicate in their names and site-specific biographies.

Ah. Then I shall refrain. Carry on, Lieutenant.

If @ltuhura.bsky.social requires me to say, "Merde" from my time back into hers, I suppose I would be willing to do so.

28/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Stop using the words of your detractors against yourself.

26/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... If someone has high expectations of you, take that as a compliment and assurance that you can succeed. If someone has low expectations of you, take it as a challenge to prove them wrong. Either way the control remains in your hands.

25/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... I'm a diplomat both by profession and by nature, but I am nobody's doormat. Neither should you be. When in doubt, ask yourself, "Would Captain Picard put up with this nonsense?" Then imagine my response and formulate your own accordingly.

24/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Those who pick at the edges of your boundaries, seeking a sneaky way in, are precisely the people whom your boundaries are there to defend against. Do not engage with them because anyone behaving like that will never respect or heed you. Warp away before they find a way in.

22/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Accept that it is impossible for you satisfy everybody completely. Between conflicting needs and some people not wishing to be satisfied, even the best efforts with the best of intentions cannot make everybody happy. Just do the right thing as often as you can.

21/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... The people who scold you for calling out bigotry are quite likely bigots themselves who are afraid they'll slip up and meet your entirely legitimate scorn next. I'm so proud of how you refuse to accept such nonsense. Keep up the good work.

20/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Everyone deserves to exist in safety with their basic needs met. That includes you. Those who impede you from accessing any of that in any way are not your friends.

19/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Adults incapable of conducting themselves with even a modicum of civility - especially adults who have the privileges to be able to do so - are not worthy of your time and efforts beyond the bare minimum required to get past them and move on with your much more important things to do.

15/11/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... When we live through difficult times, it's easy to turn on ourselves and imagine we're failing because we can't fix everything. Be gentle with yourself. Your high emotional reaction indicates your goodness, not weakness.
