Star Trek
Trek has been part of my life since I was an infant. I have bookcases full of Trek books. One of my tattoos is the Vulcan calligraphy for “kol-ut-shan” (IDIC). This is my home fandom.

“There is a phrase in vulcan for ‘the particular moment you understand what the word ‘fuck’ is for’.”
This thread about the ridiculousness of humans in the Star Trek universe (“…to everyone else in the galaxy, all humans are basically Doc Brown.”) always makes me laugh. 🖖
Facebook people got a preview, but here’s the unveiling for everyone else: My new #tattoo has escaped from its plastic wrap cocoon! #Vulcan calligraphy for Kol-Ut-Shan, the philosophy of #IDIC, Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Particularly appropriate in these times, I believe. (And #StarTrek has always been political, progressive, and social justice minded. Ahem.) #llap 🖖
Book twenty-two of 2018: Fear Itself, by James Swallow. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #startrek #dis
Me, surveying my #StarTrek book collection: “Yeah, I’m a little bit of a geek”.
My wife: “No….”
Me: “…I know where this is going.”
(Every shelf is double-stacked; most of those are #TOS novels. Please forgive the weird distortion from the pano camera mode.)

This Twitter juxtaposition made me laugh this morning.
TrekMovie has an analysis of the #StarTrek #Discovery promo video posted today, including stills of DIS’s take on the TOS uniforms. I think I like the blend of TOS and DIS styles they came up with. Here’s hoping season two is a bit more to my liking than season one was. 🖖
Nice collection of renders of the DIS version of the Enterprise collected by TrekMovie. Gotta admit, I think this version of the ship is growing on me, and these artists’ work presenting it from different angles helps.
