/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Gay man here in Missouri. A lot of my trans friends and me are very concerned about our futures.
You should be. We should all be concerned about our futures. I'm a white, CIS guy, and I'm concerned. We're completely off the rails now.
I'm a white CIS guy as well, and I'm worried to the point I can barely function this morning.
I work at a not for profit hospital that's already on a shoestring budget. Any cuts to government healthcare coverage and my department may as well get slashed in half
In a country with a barely functioning (for the non-wealthy) medical system, it can still get worse.
I'm concerned about your futures too. My daughter is queer and as of 2 am this morning, we've been working on plans to get to the UK, where I have dual citizenship.
Doo it. You should me able to get a family visa as long as your daughter is under 18 and your family income is over £29k.
We're working on it. My wife is sending out resumes today.
Best of luck to you and your family to get out of there as quick and easy as possible.
Thank you. Best of luck to you as well.
My boyfriend ~~totes not domestic partner of 7 years, because I'm trying to get on SSDI~~ does have dual citizenship in 🇮🇪 (also an O'Brien lol).
Can you get emergency married and have him get you over?
care to take 3 along with you?
I wish I could. I wish I could take my daughter's girlfriend and her trans friend with me.
That would be much better for sure
Godspeed
Thank you.
Any chance you and your friends can hijack a decent State and dig a giant moat around it?
I think our best hope is to move to California and then wait for The Big One to break CA off from the rest of the US.
Move to Alaska. We need more left-leaning people. We're already starting to go purple and our population is so low that it probably won't take much to get us to go solidly blue.
Plus, you won't have to wait for a massive earthquake to separate you from the rest of the country. Canada will do that.
Tempting. It is beautiful up there.
What do you actually believe is going to happen to you? Why didn't it happen during his first presidency? Unless you were killed and are talking from beyond the grave? In which case I'm sorry you're dead.
They came in as bumbling idiots and still managed to wreck a few things, thankfully we still had some institutions left to push back on him the first time.
They have a detailed takeover plan and a sympathetic supreme court now. Things are a little bit different.
Some of it did happen, including a million unnecessary COVID deaths. The rest didn’t because Republicans didn’t control all three branches of government. They will in January.
People are really showing America’s ignorance on basic civics. It’s so depressing.
Don't look up the statistics for LGBTQ hate crimes under the Trump presidency then.
The ones who survived last time are not fancying their chances, especially when their friend's corpses are staring back at them.
The last time was truly different. JEB was supposed to win the Republican nomination, leading to a dynasty clash-off between the Bushes and the Clintons... except it didn't happen, when Trump called him a big meanie poopy-pants or whatever, and he cried, looked weak, and basically went limp (tbf, his father was very ill or sth).
So then it was a toss-up between Ted Cruz and Trump, or as the Republican leaders at the time said, a choice between being poisoned vs. shot in the head. They chose the poison.
After that it came down to Hillary vs. Trump in the general election, and due to some helpful little Russian interference, people voted against her. Not for him, mind you, but against her. It was a one-time thing that would never, Ever, EVER happen aga-...
Well shit.
Edit: Tbf, after he won even Trump didn't know what Trump was doing the whole time, besides wandering around eating McDonald's hamburgers. Though now people are READY to make use of him - they know how, and what they want done. THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT.
I have been working since 2 am on the plan we have to get our family to the UK. I have already contacted relatives and organizations that help queer kids.
So basically I will be moving before the end of January. Enjoy your Bell Riots.
Because their lives weren't and won't be impacted. This is all fear mongering.
This is probably the sanest take I'll read for months on this god forsaken platform. Kudos.
