  1. As I settle in to early middle age I realize that people get mad because the things they’re nostalgic for can’t make them feel the same way they used to. But the real magic of nostalgia is making you feel something old in a new way. Embrace the new stuff.

      And yes, I am watching #Picard now. But I’ve been thinking about it for a while as I watch people get angry because different people love the things they used to love. Like Star Trek. And to me those new people are a wonderful thing. I don’t know how you can be angry over that.

        Like seeing people get misty eyed because they’re being represented on Star Trek reminds me of what I love about it.

          Also, SirPatStew has a beautiful Romulan Paramour with an Irish accent for some reason. Us Irish really immigrate everywhere apparently. (PS - orla_brady is fantastic)
