That glint in her eyes 😏🥰😍

The one in the bottom left is her understudy look at the difference in the colour of the eyes

[dancestar2018]

Absolutely they should in Australia too

I found looking for employment a total waste of time we are the most discriminated against ever

[sjwallin]

I was reminded of this awesome music video and original song I put together a short while ago with some wonderful human beings. 🥰 It’s a part of a chamber opera I’m in the process of finishing. You can also stream the song everywhere.

The scene takes place in the United States circa 1903, at a time when women were just beginning to populate the social areas previously reserved for men. To guard against “mashers” who were simply afraid of seeing so many women outside the home, many women trusted their protection to their hatpins, a dangerous fashion accessory that was common in this time period.

Lyrics:

Lyrics:

Our numbers are what scares ‘em,

The sheer numbers of young women on the street.

Without a male escort, we’re just lambs for the slaughter,

...unwitting red meat.

They’re just not used to seeing women outside, away from home, In the workplace, in the factories,

Living our life, as we see fit, all on our own.

Mashers, beware!

You speak words of endearment that are making my skin crawl.

But on this small, crowded streetcar, I’m no helpless prey.

When your hand goes a-wand’ring,

Don’t need no man to rescue me.

Get too close and I’ll punish your sin,

Thanks to my trusty hatpin.

We are here and we’re here to stay!

In my mother’s generation,

Showing ankle was risqué.

Keep her in the home, out of sight and locked away.

Public sites for cultured men, private spaces for all women.

But when cities rise and jobs expand,

Why can’t we take the jobs you won’t?

You don’t like to see us, thriving on our own,

Earning our keep without deferring to a man.

So you take it out on us when you see us on the street.

Mashers, beware!

You speak words of obsession that are making my skin crawl.

But on this small, crowded streetcar, I’m no helpless prey.

When your hand goes a-wand’ring,

Don’t need no man to rescue me.

Get too close and I’ll punish your sin,

Thanks to my trusty hatpin.

We are here and we’re here to stay!

My hatpin is a symbol of evolving social norms.

You’d better get used to women joining men as equals.

Pursuing an education, Working for a living, Ruling our lives,

Crossing the street.

Get too close and I’ll punish your sin,

Thanks to my trusty hatpin.

We are here and we’re here to stay!

We are here and we’re here to stay!

Love it

[stoplookingup]

Thought I’d share this for the benefit of those who might be under the false impression that fandom is only for the young. This is me. We’d just moved to a new apartment, and I was excited to decorate my room with my latest con purchases. This photo was taken 42 years ago. I’m still here. And with any luck, you’ll be wherever the fans are in another 42 years. With a lot more luck, so will I.

[stoplookingup]

Updated for Star Trek Day 2021. Still kicking.

[stoplookingup]

Since this post is making the rounds again in 2023, I thought I’d update again, this time with some of the ‘70s con programs I saved. It’s now 47 years since that first photo was taken. Still here! (And excited about all the new Star Trek!)

[dancestar2018]

Wow you have some great con memorabilia

[ebonysolcum]

Finally got around to doing an actual pencil and paper drawing of our lovely Captain Janeway.

I’m not entirely satisfied with how it turned out, but it’s growing on me. I guess I got too used to drawing on the iPad. The lack of control was distressing. Lol. Also, I chose this reference photo and did the rough sketch well over a year ago. Having drawn her face over a dozen times now, I probably would have chosen a different picture. The lighting was a little eh on this one.

[dancestar2018]

It’s still amazing you really captured her in this one

[amalgam000]

As expected, I couldn't resist adding some color to the grayscale pencil sketches I posted last week! Here’s one! I hope you enjoy! ❤️

Others in the set will probably trickle in soon, in no particular order either 😉

I hope this brightens your day! ❤️🖖

[dancestar2018]

This is awesome

[voyager-snw-addict-aka-muizeke83]

Caption this.

[brienneferguson]

"*Brando voice* I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse."

[dancestar2018]

I dare you to come closer and repeat why I’m not your favourite captain

[grissomesque]

Kathryn Janeway + the extremely platonic looks she gives her helmsman

STAR TREK: VOYAGER 6.11 “Fair Haven”

[brienneferguson]

Ooh, yeah, that fooled around at some point.

[dancestar2018]

Well his father was her mentor

[smartsmears]

I'm surprised we never saw her in Star Trek Prodigy season 2. It makes sense in hindsight because the plot had no space for a detour in the Delta Quadrant but it did feel like we'd go back to them.

[dancestar2018]

I am too

[isagrimorie]

The more I dig into the Voyager rewatch, and the more I see Janeway is giving in more and more to the Valkyrie she's always inside. The more intriguing Janeway is. I already think she's great but digging deeper into Janeway is amazing.

I keep thinking of how Janeway holds on to the Starfleet regulations and it makes me think of that Doctor Who quote and how she fits the description to a tee:

"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many."

I feel this is Janeway -- she has rules for a reason, she's not evil but she also knows she can go very, very far.

Janeway has been through a brutal border skirmish in the conflict with the Cardassians. She downplays it but, how Kate Mulgrew, it feels like there was a lot more there.

She ranked up from Lieutenant, not because of being a Science Officer but because she's a decorated vet in a bloody siege, where they won.

As we've seen from Sige of AR-558 and the episode in Strange New Worlds ground combat is a whole different beast from ship-to-ship battle.

(Tom looks like a zombie in the last one btw)

Also, IMO, she's one of the more inventive tacticians in Starfleet-- the way she used the torpedoes in Year of Hell as a mine was amazing!

That's a great naval tactic shit. Hot girl navy.

But also, Janeway fits so much the Doctor Who, Good Man Goes to War rhyme:

Demons run when a good man goes to war. Night will fall and drown the sun, when a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies, night will fall and the dark will rise, when a good man goes to war.

It's also true of Janeway that when the three people that form the basis of Janeway's mental health died and/or became very sick, Admiral Endgame Janeway happened. And then she destroyed the Borg.

Janeway needs rules for a reason.

[dancestar2018]

Absolutely adore her such an inspiration

[dancestar2018]

In fact we need live action Janeway teaching some of these tactics in the classroom known as the Janeway manoeuvres and also continuing in the field make her an admiral who also does fieldwork and leads from the front

Everyone’s really focused on the line where Tysess calls out the admiral on the bridge over Chakotay but I think the much more significant line is the exchange she has with Dal where he asks “Have you ever wanted something so bad but you’re afraid if you say the wrong thing you’ll mess it up?” and Janeway waits just a beat too long while she pounders how this kid got into her head before saying “Often” and, my dudes, this line can only be a reference to Chakotay. The one thing Janeway has no problem with is thinking fast and talking her way out of non-optimal scenarios. She can talk her way out of anything. The only person who has ever managed to consistently fluster her is Chakotay. Chakotay asks her what her dinner plans are and suddenly there’s some sort of verbal chess game going on, the floor is fascinating, and she chooses her words so carefully.

[dancestar2018]

Those were my exact thoughts

[prettypinkdork]

Producers of Star Trek Voyager thought their lead had no sex appeal and their lead was fucking Kate Mulgrew

[dancestar2018]

I know crazy isn’t it
