I finished the Star Trek Doorway quilt. It turned out lovely. I know it looks simple but this was a complicated build. I honestly don’t know how I managed to get the height and width to line up with the outer blocks. #startrek #quilt #handquilting

I find it funny that the author of Star Trek invented a Vulcan word to describe Jim and Spock's relationship. A word that means "friend, brother, and lover." Then he spends an entire page justifying the "lover" part, saying it was just a metaphor. An entire page when he could have avoided any misunderstanding if he had simply stated that the word meant "friend, brother." Nobody would have speculated or complained because, after all, he CREATED the word.

I just love how curious star trek is.

The media is filled with so much "omg we discovered extraterrestrial life there what if it wants to harm us" but in Star Trek the response to finding new life is always like wow. What do you think they are like?

How do you think they feel right now? Do you think they know of this conflict? Should we ask them for the way? Should we offer them our help? Open a channel. Let's say hello.

And when they're met with suspicion or hostility their response is never to assume badly of an entire species. It's almost always "How do I show them that I'm a friend?"

A Fistful of Datas (ST:TNG season 6, episode 8)

Lieutenant Worf: Where are we?

Alexander Rozhenko: Deadwood. 19th century Earth - the Ancient West.

Lieutenant Worf: What is our function here?

Alexander Rozhenko: You are the sheriff, and I am the deputy.

The scene above is from 1989, episode is "The Offspring"

Star Trek is "woke" since always and this is just one of many many amazing and very progressive and human scenes and I love it for this. I'm so glad I got into it 7 (?) years ago. I think no other series gives me as much comfort as Star Trek TNG especially.
