  • I’m queer and once had a date with a black woman from the States while living in Dublin, Ireland. She asked me if I could be her local tourist guide. Sure thing!

    Walked her all across the shitty overpriced city centre. At some point she asked me:

    “Am I the only black person around here?”

    Eventually decided to ditch the CC and take a taxi to my local area.

    Waltzed into my regular pub holding hands, cuddeling.

    The entire place filled with white cis locals went dead silent like in a bad cliche movie.

    “Harry, two pints of the black stuff, will ye?”

    Peeps realised that at least I was a local and continued minding their own business.

    Jeez…



















  • I think SNW is a good start for someone enterily new to Star Trek. However, I would advise against starting with Lower Decks. Maybe it’s just not my cup of tea in general and the only reason I did enjoy LD quite a lot is due to tightly knitted references (i.e. Giant Spock’s skeleton, prank calling Armus, and so on). It’s basically like how someone here recommended TNG before DS9 because it sets the stage. It’s also why I’d recommend skipping SNW’s S2E7 (Those old scientists) until you are familiar with LD in general.

    May I ask about your favourites of TNG S2? There are some strong standalone episodes. :)
