Voyager made it home. But 25 years later, fans are still asking what came next.

I talked with Tilly & Susan Bridges about Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming, and the collected edition is out now. 🖖

Star Trek has introduced enough alien foods to make me curious and enough holodeck disasters to make me cautious.

So here's today's very serious fandom question.

You get ONE replicated Trek meal or drink.

What are you ordering? 🖖

You don't have to turn every difficult week into a growth opportunity.

Sometimes you survive Wednesday, eat something good on Thursday and keep moving.

No inspirational montage required.

That counts too. 🧡

🌟 CHECK-IN THURSDAY 🌟

Summer is packing up its emotional support sunglasses, and apparently fall is already waiting outside. 😅

Before the season changes the scenery, this week’s check-in is a little pause for wherever you are right now. 🧡

sometimes a haircut is more than a haircut

it’s a chance to make things better… or possibly, so much worse

if that seems a little hyperbolic, imagine how you’d feel if you never saw the real you reflected back at you for your whole life, but then finally did

what would you risk losing that for?

🚨 STARFLEET FITNESS ASSESSMENT 🚨

Red Alert. You have 14 seconds to reach the bridge.

One problem. You have to RUN there. 😅

🏃 Olympic-level officer

🫡 I’ll meet you there

How graceful is your Starfleet corridor sprint?

✨ CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT ✨
Tom Paris from Star Trek Voyager

Hotshot pilot. Lovable troublemaker.

In “Thirty Days,” Tom puts principle ahead of the rules and proves he is more than swagger behind the helm.

Pick one. Lovable rogue or walking disaster?

Thursday check-in 🧡

Which battery are you running on today?

🔋 Fully operational
🪫 Please locate coffee
⚠️ Making suspicious noises

I'm somewhere between coffee and engineering.

Every dollar you spend is either funding the problem or funding the solution. 1,700+ businesses on Little Blue Cart make choosing the solution a little easier. 💙🛒

cis people DO NOT DO THIS

trans women face MUCH HIGHER rates of violence than cis women

this is going to put trans women in even more danger

and would put this cis woman in more danger too

ALSO: WE ARE NOT YOUR PUNCHLINE

A 5-star review can be a small act with real impact.

That local restaurant you loved. The independent shop. The guide who made the day memorable...the independent podcast you enjoy!

If someone did excellent work, take 2 minutes & say so where future customers can find it.

Tiny action. Real help.

Today's Do More Good idea costs nothing.

If you learned something useful from a local guide, museum, ranger, artist, historian or small business while traveling, tell someone about them.

Good experiences deserve good word of mouth. 🧡

Home. 🧡

Tonight's kindness assignment is extremely local.

Be nice to yourself.
Travel is wonderful. Coming home exhausted is also real.
The suitcase is empty. The laundry is laundry-ing.

I have reunited with my own pillow and intend to respect this moment.

give ‘er a read!

A timeline can tell you what happened. But can it capture why #StarTrek matters?

Jodi asks Star Trek Timelines co-author Derek Tyler Attico what he hopes fans feel when they read the book.

Flying home after Alaska feels a little unfair.

Someone put all those mountains down there and expects me to just read a book? ✈️🏔️

Travel home day has arrived.

I am returning with approximately 912 photos (*possibly an estimate), several new stories, one deeply offended suitcase and absolutely no interest in discussing the amount of laundry waiting for me.

Alaska, you were magnificent. 🏔️🧡

Last night of vacation.

My camera roll is ridiculous. My laundry situation is concerning. My appreciation for Alaska is enormous.

Tomorrow begins the highly advanced travel maneuver known as getting all this stuff back into the suitcase.

Wish me luck. 😂

“Orders of Magnitude” gave me caves, a questionable admiral and questions about Pelia.

Naturally, none of that is what I kept thinking about.

One word in my notes sent me somewhere else entirely.

Monday has arrived with an outrageous suggestion that this vacation is nearly over.

I have reviewed its proposal and rejected it.
Unfortunately, the itinerary appears to have sided with Monday.

Fine.

I'm getting another coffee. ☕️😂
September 14, 2026 at 11:02 AM
Today didn't need to teach me anything.

It didn't need a deeper meaning or a tidy little life lesson.
It was beautiful. I was here. I noticed.

Sometimes that's plenty.

We Got This Lovelies. 🧡

You know what deserves more respect?

Delight.

Being completely delighted by a whale, a mountain, a song, a perfect cup of coffee or something gloriously silly.

The world gives us enough reasons to be weary.

Keep the things that make your eyes light up. 🧡

Cruise ships contain a fascinating ecosystem.

People dressed for dinner. People dressed for an expedition. People carrying cocktails. People carrying binoculars.

And me, wondering whether getting another dessert technically counts as exploring. 😂

Last night, Alaska casually turned on the universe. 💚✨

As we sailed between Juneau and Ketchikan, the skies cleared and the northern lights danced above our balcony. Just us, the dark water, the quiet ship, and one unforgettable show.

I’m still not convinced this trip is real.
