I try to be open about my OCD in the hopes that it might be helpful to some of those who struggle with it, but I understand that people get sick of hearing about it. That being said, trust me when I say that no one is as sick of hearing about OCD as those of us who have OCD. It is relentless.

Sad to report that visual effects artist Chris Stoski has passed away. Chris was the ILM digital matte supervisor for "Star Trek" (2009), and was responsible for this amazing painting of the Enterprise under construction.

I'd love to visit an active Star Trek set one day.

Of course, I'd have to walk around with my eyes and ears covered to avoid spoilers, but it's the effort that counts πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‹

I'm a very influential guy. This time my cat hesitated for a half second before ultimately deciding to do what he wanted to do anyway.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

If I remember correctly, Clarissa had writing and graphics appear on the screen pretty often on that show. It was on Nickelodeon when I was a kid, so I vaguely remember it πŸ˜‚ I'm guessing the person is referencing the graphics that pop up in the latest Academy episode (which I loved!)

The perfect Star Trek episode to watch on Groundhog Day.

*An example of an implied starship is when the Enterprise picks up a passenger who is waiting at a starbase. The implied ship had to bring them to the starbase at some point. It's a delicate balance, but I've figured this out for every episode and film πŸ˜‚

Starfleet Academy's first 4 episodes have made some wonderful contributions to my ongoing list of every starship that has ever been seen, mentioned, or whose existence has been implied in Star Trek. πŸ€“πŸ––πŸ»
