Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

If Neil Gaiman shows his face on tumblr again we all have an obligation to bully him out of here with rocks

And I’m sorry if this is how you had to find out he’s on an “apology” tour (denying everything) and promoting a new book that we are all going to very loudly ignore

make amends to your victims and fix your heart

There’s a quiet kind of poetry in the way Tawny Newsome now hangs on the walls of Starfleet history—twice over. Walk past the Wall of Heroes at Starfleet Academy and you’ll see her face looking back at you… and right beside it, another version of her. One is Beckett Mariner, the chaos-loving, authority-dodging officer from Star Trek: Lower Decks. The other is Newsome herself. Same smile. Different destiny.

Mariner’s story ends exactly how you’d expect—and maybe how she’d secretly hate to admit she earned. Despite spending years rolling her eyes at promotions and ducking responsibility like incoming phaser fire, Mariner ultimately climbs the ladder all the way to Starfleet Commander. It feels almost ironic, like the universe gently nudging her and saying, See? You cared more than you let on.

But then there’s Tawny Newsome. Real-life Tawny Newsome. Her rank on that wall? Admiral.

It’s not just a cute meta-joke or a wink to longtime fans. It feels earned in a deeper, more human way. After her time voicing Mariner wrapped, Newsome didn’t drift away from the franchise. She leaned in. Hard. Behind the scenes, she grew into something bigger than a performer—becoming a co-producer and writer on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The kind of creative leap that doesn’t come from luck, but from trust, grit, and a voice strong enough to shape a universe that’s been around for nearly sixty years.

You can feel that love for Star Trek threaded through her work. Take Lower Decks episode five, which she co-wrote—a heartfelt nod to Deep Space Nine. It doesn’t shout its tribute. It hums with it. The kind of homage written by someone who didn’t just watch the show, but lived with it. Who understood its weight, its weirdness, its soul.

So yes, Beckett Mariner may have finally accepted a command chair. But Tawny Newsome? She helped build the room. And somehow, seeing her outrank her own character doesn’t feel like a flex—it feels like a quiet celebration of what happens when talent refuses to stay in its lane.

Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.
