How can mass made fashion claim it is unique? The wearer may be one of a kind, but this shirt ain't.

I feel like the message wasn’t super clear in this drawing, but I wanted to say that you can do what you love, even if it’s not your work (be it job or school). Still find time for your passions and hobbies in life! : ) It doesn’t have to be one or the other. You deserve to have the happiness and fulfillment of doing the things you love in addition to doing whatever you have to do to get by.  Webtoon | Patreon | Instagram

Best Weapon on Discovery?

In Star Trek:Discovery, the crew is on a mission to beat the Klingons, particularly before they can unite into an empire and be even more of a threat. Captain Lorca is on the war path and is willing to weaponise *anything* if it will end the fighting. But he already has the weapon needed, right there in his readyroom! No, not the guns or knives (or Ripper!) There on his desk, fluffy and unassuming… is a Tribble!

Maybe its not just a visual joke to appease the fans

…Remember the DS9/ST:OS cross over ep, Trials and Tribble-ations? Worf tells Odo that Tribbles are “mortal enemies” of the Klingon empire, “an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out. Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy, an armada wiped out the tribble home world. By the end of the 23rd century they had been eradicated." 

You with me so far?

What if it’s Captain Lorca that weaponises the Tribbles! They have a super fast ship, so they can zoom in and drop a Tribble in a grain silo and GTFO before anyone notices… That would mean that the Klingons will be distracted by, what Odo jokingly calls ‘The Great Tribble Hunt’ for the next 50ish years, and Star Fleet can win :D

So… What do you think? It *could* work, right…?

Finally home

Great weekend away. Wonderful to see family. Much fun was had. But the long drive there, and then back again is a killer :(

Not helped by the painfully slow roadworks, or the morale sapping monent the satnav helpfully pipes up: "Merge with motorway. Continue for 163 miles" 😲
