It's so fitting that the first line we actually typed on a typewriter for the zine was, "It had to have been near the very beginning--"

Our social media has been quiet for a while, but behind the scenes we've been as busy as the lower decks on red alert! Very exciting things are happening here at The Zine Directive... πŸ‘€ We are starting to build the actual physical zine and we couldn't be more excited! Stay tuned for more updates!

"Yellow? That's a common mistake.This is actually a light avocado or lime green, despite appearing gold or yellow on television screens. It's due to 1960s lighting and film processing...."

Fwd from a friend - In honor of Black History Month, I would like to submit this post to remind people, star trek has always been woke. You can't change the world if you are asleep at the wheel. You can only crash.

Spirk grandmothers, hand-typing zines during their secretarial jobs: are we a joke to you?

drawing of Spock and Uhura. Spock is writing on a PADD and looking at Uhura with some fondness. Uhura is grabbing Spock's arm and saying "Mr. Spock! Is that a new pallette? It looks lovely."

Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleagueβ€”he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officerβ€”a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known.

As the background, we have the poster for the movie "Earth Girls Are Easy" (1988, Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis), in blocky, offset yellow letters with red background, arrayed around a ring around a blue planet. A smoke trail presumably shows a spaceship.
This is on top of a night-time cityscape, i.e., we see the city lights on a dark backdrop. All very 1980s, really.
And... Uhm... Come to think of it, the photoshop is also quite 1980s.
Overlaid over the poster is Ambassador Sarek (Mark Lenard), in his ceremonial Vulcan robes, from one of the #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS movies of the 1980s (ST:TSFS, I believe).
And, yeah, that's 100 % his attitude.

A shitty photo of a panel from one of the IDW Star Trek comics. Scotty (older Scotty like from the TOS movies) is talking to Data's head (it's Data, but his head has been removed from his body). Scotty says: "Perhaps there was a time in my youth, lad, but Scotty's days of psilocybin are quite a few years in the rear --" and Data interrupts to say "I am not speaking about psychedelics, Mr. Scott."
