The California class USS Zzyzx, NCC-89324. Hope you can hear the #LowerDecks theme in your head. :)
Wikipedia tells my #Zzyzx California is pronounced 'ZY-ziks'.

In honour of #BiVisibilityDay, celebrating #BiPride and fighting #BiErasure, here's one of my earliest #queer crushes: the androgynous #JayeDavidson as #Ra from 1994's #Stargate. Jaye had nominated the year before for their portryal of a trans woman in #TheCryingGame.

The Leibniz class USS Tecobe, named for the seminal research paper 'The Epistemic Contract of Bisexual Erasure' by Yoshino Kenji. #TECOBE was a thing in the MySpace/Tumblr era, and while I'd then denied bisexual visibility as my John Adams-esque 'animating occasion', circumstances now animate.

Such a small change does make a dramatic visual difference.

I've always said that Voyager needed longer nacelles over the short stubby one they had.
Perhaps the nacelle size is why they predicted 75 years travel time...

Love the fact that the Federation's president's office in Star Trek VI was a redressed Ten Forward set. Shows how big they could make Ten Forward feel in TNG with a few establishing shots and then more intimate camera work during conversations. #TNG
Here's a comparison of the USS Sutherland bridge in #StarTrekTNG's "Redemption II"⬅️ and the galley of the USS Enterprise-A in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"➡️, the former being a redress of the set from the #StarTrek film.

Despite what the #ABS said yesterday about the religion question being about affiliation over belief, #evangelical churches would not be calling for congregants to explicitly state #Pentecostal in #Census2026 if there was no intent to proclaim the numbers when knocking on politicians' doors. #Auspol
#Census2026 isn't just a collective scream into the void. It determines how much funding goes to services provided by religiously-affiliated institutions. If we want services aligned available with our moral priorities, and not limited by others' beliefs, accurate date is vital.

#Canberrans' resident #fundagelical church, #LifeUC, this morning broadcast a push for attendees to put #Pentacostal within the 'Other' category of #Census2026' #religion question, to ensure #evangelicals can gain heavier consideration in public policy-making. Help get #ACT to 50% #nones instead!

So in #Census2026, my 12 year old is considered too young to have a gender identity and sexual preference, but old enough to have a religion. Young enough to not clock things intrinsic to themselves, but old enough to comprehend potential supernatural origins, meanings and complexities of existence.

We grow in bubbles within bubbles, but bubbles are easy to pass through once you can step through the thought-terminating cliches of our upbringings.
Then we can see the breadth of bubbles out there, and earnestly explore the systems that give rise to them.

Even if religion were a core part of your identity in the past – as it was for Keiran, who trained to become a Catholic monk – you should mark ‘No religion’ on the Census if you no longer think of yourself as religious. Find out more: censusnotreligious.org.au
