You made me giggle, you doofus :ablobmeltsoblove:

@evan

Isn't it weird that we only know each other because of
#FairchildSemiconductor ?

:ablobcool:

I stg, that company has a lot to answer for...

@evan

Look, it's late and I'm a silly old fool but...

... my entire life, I have worked in one way or another to try and make the Trek / Culture future come true. And now I'm chatting to you, on a platform based on something *you* created that is a seed of that future. I find that incredible.

#TheFederation / #Fediverse / #Culture is sooo close, so damned close. The free association of sentients as equals, beyond all our ridiculous, pernicious -isms.

We need our dreams!

@evan

hehe, it's from when I did my degree in #Sociology, #Film and #AmericanStudies. I wedged #StarTrek in everywhere I could!

Also, growing up on Trek was a gateway to me becoming an actual #Marxist in my teens as both posit a future utopia. The beloved #FullLuxuryQueerSpaceCommunism that you also find in #IanMBanks #CultureNovels

@evan

WOAAHHH! THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME!!
oh myyyy!!!

:pensive_party_blob: :ablobblewobble: :ablobcatrainbow:

And thank you. I was shy dressing up at first but got into it properly. I love it now!

Would you like to read my essay on #StarTrek and the need for utopic visions? ?

OF COURSE YOU WOULD:

Anyone on here who's been to #DestinationStarTrek in London or Brum?

I miss meeting other #Trekkies in person (#Covid situation permitting, of course).

It's made me realise how great the old cons were and how I took them for granted.

#StarTrek

In the end, it was the sounds we made getting up from the sofa that was the *real music*...
