[Transcripts: 'The Enterprise actors? They hated it. Is was the only time Scott Bakula got pissed off at me.'
'In an interview with The Toronto Star in 2005, Jolene Blalock states that she doesn't "know where to begin with that one... the final episode is... appalling." '
'Anthony Montgomery, a.k.a. Ensign Travis Mayweather, told TV Zone Special, "I feel there could have been a more effective way to wrap things up for our show as well as the franchise as a whole. It just seemed to take a little bit away from what the Enterprise cast and crew worked so diligently to achieve over the past four years, do you know what I mean?" '
'"I have certainly been the vocal one," Blalock admitted to the Boston Herald. "I assumed that the ending would be about our show and not a wrapup of the conglomerate... it was just insulting." '
'For his part, Frakes admitted in 2008 that "everybody probably" feels the episode was a disservice to Enterprise. "The theory was it was a valentine to the fans," he added in an IF Magazine interview, "but the reality is it was a bit of a stretch to have us shut down their show." (Less than a year later, he said the episode "stinks.")'
'In 2018, eight years after the airing of this episode, Brannon Braga apologized to the entire cast of Enterprise for it and said he thought Rick Berman and himself made a "narcissistic move" in trying to make the episode a "valentine" to Star Trek. He also called it a "crappy episode." /end]

Back-to-School Guide: Supporting Students’ Mental Health
Tumblr media
To help parents best support adolescents and teens as they prepare for the new school year, we’ve created a back-to-school guide featuring valuable insights and a mental health checklist. Keep reading to explore common mental health struggles facing students and to learn how to effectively support your child’s emotional needs now and throughout the academic year. Table of contents- Student Mental Health Challenges- Anxiety - Social anxiety - Depression - Stress - School refusal - Fear of school - Mental Health Checklist- √1. Communicate - √2. Help them prioritize sleep - √3. Build a support network - √4. Encourage practicing gratitude - √5. Establish a routine - Provide Mental Health Days - Back-to-School Guide: Wrapup Student Mental Health Challenges Student mental health challenges such as anxiety, social anxiety, depression, stress, school refusal, and fear of school can be significant concerns for parents and students alike during the back-to-school season. As adolescents and teens prepare to return to the academic setting, it’s essential for parents like you to be aware of these potential difficulties. Understanding and addressing the impact of the challenges listed in this back-to-school guide and using the mental health checklist will enable you to help your child navigate their transition back to the classroom.  Anxiety For many adolescents and teens, going to school is a normal part of their routine. But for some, the very idea triggers — or intensifies — stress and anxiety. This issue is noteworthy as part of our back-to-school guide considering anxiety is a significant issue for youths. For example, it was the most common mental health concern for children ages 3-17 from 2018 to 2019, according to the National Survey of Children’s Health.    If your adolescent or teen has anxiety, they could end up not going to class once school starts, which can create a harmful cycle. For example, a student with performance anxiety who skips classes can fall further behind academically. Their anxiety can also show up as physical symptoms, such as headaches, stomachaches, and fatigue.  https://youtu.be/C-RienaJb50 Social anxiety Social anxiety, also called social anxiety disorder, involves intense and continued fears of being watched or judged by others or of becoming a failure in other people’s eyes. To get a diagnosis, an adolescent or teen typically must experience symptoms for at least six months. Situations that often cause symptoms include social situations, especially those involving new people, or performance situations, including school or testing environments. A child with social anxiety may therefore be worried about returning to school and interacting with people once back in class.     Depression While school offers many benefits to adolescents and teens, such as connecting with peers, overscheduling and academic pressure can be a significant source of stress, contributing to mental health issues including depression. According to a 2018 Pew Research Center survey of U.S. teens ages 13-17, academics tops the list of pressures teens face, with 61% saying they feel a lot of pressure to get good grades.  As part of this back-to-school guide, it’s important to note that depression in teens can look a bit different than it does in adults. Symptoms can include:   - Mood swings.    - Irritability.  - Angry outbursts.    - Substance use. - Isolation.    - Social withdrawal.    - Rebelliousness.   Stress School stress can be a significant challenge for adolescents and teens. Academic performance can take a mental, emotional, and physical toll on their minds and bodies.    It’s important to note that school stress isn’t always a problem, as stress itself is not always a problem. Good stress, which feels manageable, builds resilience and is necessary for growth. The issue is unhealthy stress, which feels unmanageable and can have a negative impact. For example, it could lead to issues including social withdrawal and isolation, low self-esteem, insecurity, and substance use.  School refusal If adolescents or teens have refused to go to class in the past or are already indicating they don’t want to go once classes resume, this time of year can be stressful. When dealing with school refusal, it can be tempting to focus on judging the reasons as legitimate or fake. But if a youth is avoiding the school environment, it could mean there’s a significant underlying issue. Common underlying issues include learning problems, bullying, family stress or conflict, mental health disorders, and medical problems.  Fear of school The fear of school, also called school phobia, is when the thought of going to school — including interacting with classmates or teachers, doing homework, or engaging in sports on campus — feels far too difficult or overwhelming to your adolescent or teenager. They might worry about heading to class and then, once they get there, procrastinate on homework or avoid studying for a test. Fear of school is therefore a key topic in this back-to-school guide. Reasons for school phobia include fear of teachers, separation anxiety, school bullying, low self-esteem, and a history of mental health issues.  Mental Health Checklist Parent and teen review mental health checklist before teen goes back to school. A mental health checklist can be a valuable tool for parents whose adolescents and teens are grappling with mental health challenges when heading back to school. It’s essential to prioritize mental well-being to ensure a smooth and successful transition. As part of our back-to-school guide, this mental health checklist provides several tips on how to support your child during this critical time. By following this guidance, you can monitor your adolescent or teen’s emotional well-being and proactively address any concerns.   √1. Communicate As the school year approaches, it’s important to keep the lines of communication open so you can best understand how your child is feeling and to build your emotional connection with them. When starting a conversation, keep in mind that if you’re asking questions, it could feel like an interrogation to your adolescent or teen. To ensure they’ll be more open to responding honestly and get them to start talking, try “I noticed” statements. For example, you could say, “I noticed you seem nervous about going back to school.”   As part of your communication process, practice active listening. Avoid multitasking to give your full attention to your adolescent or teen, face them with welcoming body language, and make eye contact in a relaxed, uncritical manner. Giving your undivided attention will help you listen attentively so you can paraphrase what’s said and withhold judgment and advice.  √2. Help them prioritize sleep According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children ages 6-12 should get nine to 12 hours of sleep per night, while teens 13-18 should get eight to 10 hours. So, it’s important your adolescent or teen prioritizes getting good sleep as they head back to school. However, if your child is sleeping too much, that can affect their mental and physical well-being. Early start times at school can add to this issue, as an adolescent or teenager who’s always tired can have difficulty getting up for and functioning well in class.   To promote healthy sleep hygiene and habits, you can help your child develop a bedtime routine; encourage reduced caffeine use; limit social media and technology use; and encourage exercise, yoga, and mindfulness.  √3. Build a support network Many adolescents, teenagers, and their families are carrying the burden of mental health issues alone. That’s because building a mental health support network can be difficult, as it can be tough to connect with and trust others. But that network can provide your child with essential support as they head back to class — and during the school year.   The people in your child’s support network should be active listeners who take your adolescent or teen’s well-being seriously. They should be people your family receives love and support from. You can find them in churches, at schools, on sports teams, or at other group activities.  √4. Encourage practicing gratitude Practicing gratitude can be a powerful tool for adolescents and teens facing mental health challenges during the back-to-school season, as it can help shift their focus beyond the struggles or frustrations of life. By expressing appreciation for “the little things,” such as supportive friends or even the opportunity to learn, they can cultivate a more positive mindset and build their resilience. This allows them to navigate challenges with a more optimistic perspective. Consider encouraging your adolescent or teen to keep a gratitude journal or to do something as simple as creating a note on their phone that lists positive aspects about school so they can look at them on a regular basis.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9j0jb4LZ8I √5. Establish a routine Establishing a routine can greatly benefit adolescents and teens as they transition back to class, making it an important part of the mental health checklist in this back-to-school guide. Work with your child to create a structured schedule. When they implement it, they can experience several advantages:  - A sense of stability: A routine provides a sense of stability and predictability, which can help reduce anxiety and stress.  - Enhanced time management: Following a routine helps students effectively manage their time, allowing for a better balance between academics, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments.  - Improved self-care: Incorporating self-care activities into the routine, such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and time for hobbies, can contribute to better mental health and overall well-being.  - Better focus and productivity: A structured routine helps adolescents and teens stay organized, prioritize tasks, and maintain focus, enhancing productivity and reducing feelings of overwhelm. Provide Mental Health Days After your child is back at school, you may find they need an occasional “rest” day — a break from the stress and anxiety of school, peers, and social performance. This allows their nervous system a chance to reset and calm down. These mental health days should be structured to include proactive activities that provide rejuvenation and connection, such as going for a walk or spending one-on-one time with a parent. Be in tune with your adolescent or teen’s needs to determine when and how often a rest day is necessary.   Back-to-School Guide: Wrapup As you prepare for the upcoming school year, remember the importance of prioritizing your adolescent or teen’s mental well-being. By using the mental health checklist in this back-to-school guide, you can create a supportive and nurturing environment that will help ensure a positive start to school and set the tone for a fulfilling academic journey.

2018 sure was a THING, huh? I: - had my first full year on SSO - spent a good few months lurking in the sso tag on Tumblr before saying ‘fuck it, I’ll give it a go’ and joining with an SSO blog - discovered the proportion of gays in this community is vast and wonderful and welcoming - decided to get involved and start writing fic/contributing to AUs (which is massive for me bc I’m the local Anxiety Gay™) - in my personal life, I said goodbye to my beautiful dog, my best girl of 14 years, after she lost a battle with a kidney illness - BUT I welcomed her little half-sister into the family and she’s a little ray of sunshine - I also adopted an asshole cat whom I love deeply - entered some playwriting competitions and am practice-pitching for a TV company in 2019 - resolved to be my best, gayest, trans-est self for many years to come (and got my requirements for top surgery!)
Roll on 2019 - I know you’ll make me feel like crap, but there’s going to be some good times too and I can’t wait to see them!

Films of 2018 I saw
- Black Panther
- Love, Simon
- Avengers: Infinity War
- Incredibles 2
- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
- A Simple Favour
- Bad Times at the El Royale
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- The Favourite
As the year went on I felt like I was seeing a lot of new releases, but the list doesn't seem to add up to much when I look at it like this.
The only trend I can really glean from it as well is that there are a lot of blockbusters. Unsurprising given that a lot of them were "what's on at 10am at the cinema" choices.

2018 was a wild ride for me. I had to move twice - willingly at first and then because our house was being sold from under us. I was in a car accident that completely totaled my car, leaving me stranded for two weeks until we could get approved for a new car. My best friend who I met through Tumblr over five years ago came to visit me for the first time ever. And I got married! Throughout all of that, I somehow managed to reach my goal of 40 books for the year (and then some). Read below the cut for the rest of my 2018 wrap-up!
Here are the 44 books I read:
A Darker Shade of Magic (V.E. Schwab)
A Gathering of Shadows (V.E. Schwab)
A Conjuring of Light (V.E. Schwab)
The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One (Amanda Lovelace)
Tonic (Staci Hart)
The Belles (Dhonielle Clayton)
Sex, Not Love (Vi Keeland)
A Little Too Late (Staci Hart)
To All The Boys I've Loved Before (Jenny Han)
Honeybee (Traci Mateer)
An Ember In The Ashes (Sabaa Tahir)
Intoxicated (Jeana E. Man)
Good Girl (Jana Aston)
Accidental Fiance (R.R. Banks)
Stuck (Logan Chance)
A Shadow Bright And Burning (Jessica Cluess)
The Virgin and The Beast (Stasia Black)
Rockaway Bride (Pippa Grant)
Bigshot Boss (Cat Carmine)
Addicted To You (Krista Ritchie)
Dirty Girl (Meghan March)
Glass Sword (Victoria Aveyard)
The Billionaire's Wake-Up-Call Girl (Annika Martin)
P.S. I Still Love You (Jenny Han)
Always And Forever, Lara Jean (Jenny Han)
Pretty Fierce (Kieran Scott)
The Girls At 17 Swann Street (Yara Zgheib)
Soft Thorns (Bridgett Devoue)
A Shameless Little Con (Meli Raine)
Labyrinth Lost (Zoraida Córdova)
A Shameless Little Lie (Meli Raine)
Dirty Neighbor (Cassie-Anne L. Miller)
Stranded (Piper Sullivan)
Undead Girl Gang (Lily Anderson)
War of Storms (Erica Cameron)
Savor You (Kristen Proby)
My Best Everything (Sarah Tomp)
Since You've Been Gone (Morgan Matson)
Vanishing Girls (Lauren Oliver)
Opal (Maggie Stiefvater)
Queen of Klutz (Samantha Garman)
Sugar and Ice (Aven Ellis)
His Package (Penelope Bloom)
Four Day Fling (Emma Hart)
And here are my top ten reads of the year:
1. A Darker Shade of Magic (V.E. Schwab) goodreads | amazon | book depository
I put off reading this series for a while but finally bought all three of them at once and I am so glad that I did. I absolutely adored Kell and Delilah and reading of their journey together. If you’re a fan of magic and fantasy, this series is perfect for you!
2. A Gathering of Shadows (V.E. Schwab) goodreads | amazon | book depository 3. A Conjuring of Light  (V.E. Schwab) goodreads | amazon | book depository 4. An Ember In The Ashes  (Sabaa Tahir) goodreads | amazon | book depository
I actually won a copy of this from a Goodreads giveaway (only the second I’ve ever won over the years I’ve had an account)! And it was only shortly after having added it to my wishlist. Such an interesting story and beautiful writing. I’m not entirely sure why I haven’t picked up the rest of the series yet. Hopefully I’ll get to them soon!
5. The Girls at 17 Swann Street (Yara Zgheib) goodreads | amazon | book depository
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn’t such beautiful writing, a heartbreaking story and great characters. It was truly wonderful to read. I highly recommend it to anyone just for the insight into eating disorders.
6. Labyrinth Lost (Zoraida Córdova) goodreads | amazon | book depository
In all honesty, my expectations for Labyrinth Lost were too high going in. I was left with a book that turned out much differently than I thought it was going to and feeling a little bit put off. I enjoyed the writing and the characters and hope that one day revisiting it will fuel my desire to continue the series.
7. Since You’ve Been Gone (Morgan Matson) goodreads | amazon | book depository
This book was sososo good! I thought it was going to be a quick, cute read that I liked but didn’t love. But I got so much more from it. It was funny and sad and I truly enjoyed reading it. I even cried a little at the end (ask my husband, he was there)! I highly recommend it.
8. War of Storms (Erica Cameron) goodreads | amazon | book depository
I was given the opportunity to read this trilogy by the author and publisher. I was so excited when I was contacted to read War of Storms. This series is so unique, diverse and interesting. It so easily kept me captivated. It’s definitely worth a read!
9. The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One (Amanda Lovelace) goodreads | amazon | book depository
Amanda Lovelace is magical. Is there really anything else to say? I loved this one as much as her first and I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of her work. She’s a wonderful writer and I aspire to be as great as her.
10. Sex, Not Love (Vi Keeland) goodreads | amazon | book depository
I had to throw one of the many romance novels I read into my top ten. This one was hilarious, steamy and wonderful.
2019 Goals
For 2019, I’d like to read 40 books. I want to aim for more but I don’t want to cause unneeded stress because of a number. Maybe next year! Aside from that, I’d like to read more poetry and less romance novels. I think I say that every year though and always end up right back to my smutty ways. Oh well, no regrets.
Did you reach your goals for 2018? What are your goals for the new year?

Everyone, gather round for a McSpirk party!
2018 hasn't been an easy year for many folks, and even in recent weeks Tumblr has been a leader of the chaos in our lives.  McSpirk Holiday Fest’s staff has felt the weight of the upheaval deeply but, calling on our collective determination, we decided we had to see 2018 through to the end.
And our Creators agreed.
For that, we must take a moment to applaud each of our seven participants and give them a big THANK YOU.  Without you, Creators, the final Round of 2018 could not have carried on.  Despite adversity, this fandom has truly experienced a season of sharing!
We had in total 8 fills, from art to fanfic, for 2018's Round Five: Winter Holidays.
Please enjoy these wonderful gifts of McSpirk.  Let each one add to your experience of ringing in a brand new year!
FANART
Prompt by @drmcbones : Jim gets Bones and Spock matching ugly Christmas sweaters. They are not amused.
Fandom: AOS
Fill: Stay Warm by @tiirabird-art
Prompt by @waywardconsultingtimelady:  The trio explores a Christmas themed planet. Snow men everywhere, giant candy canes stuck in the ground.  I’d prefer it if they didn’t meet the locals of the planet and just wondered alone through a Christmas wonderland. Really cheerful locals if you prefer to have them come across some.
Fandom: AOS
Fill: More Fanart! by @tiirabird-art
FANFIC
Prompt by @movingplant: Jim, Kirk and Spock prepare a Christmas meal together (for Christmas dinner, or they bake Christmas cookies). Maybe for the ship-wide holiday celebration, or for their own private little celebration.
Fandom: TOS
Fill: Holiday Season at The Intergalactic House of Parsnips by @urbanspaceman
Prompt by @trek-tracks : It’s always an ice planet. Bones hates ice planets. But Jim wanted snow for the holidays, and so “shore leave” is on a damn cold rock. It’s beautiful, though, so Bones decides to go exploring to see what he can find for Jim and Spock (or possibly he hears something that triggers his doctor sense). Now he’s trapped behind a whole bunch of ice that’s decided to crash down, and of course he brought a medkit, not a phaser. Someone’s bound to find him eventually, but he hopes he has all his extremities by the time they do. He also hopes it’s the Captain and the XO and not a hostile new lifeform. Or if it’s a hostile new lifeform, he hopes they’ve heard of spiked hot chocolate. It’s always an ice planet.
Fandom: TOS
Fill: In Winter Snow Angels Sacrifice by @klmeri
Prompt by @waywardconsultingtimelady :  While sleeping Jim is transported to a Winter Wonderland and he must find Bones and Spock. I imagine that the alien is doing this inside Jim’s mind but it’s still very real and has consequences. But Jim physically appearing in the Winter Wonderland is also fine.
Fandom: AOS
Fill: Tis' the Season by @snarkysnartes
Prompt by @whomerlockwood :  I love fluffy Christmas/winter McSpirk! What about old married McSpirk? Something like in Star Trek IV, but with a snowy winter scenery. They are in a small rustical hut for a few weeks. Maybe they are skiing. Or building a snowman. Something like Spock feeding the birds in the snow, Bones showing more of his family recipes to them and bickering with Spock about it. Spock freezing pretty fast (so he is always lulled in fluffy warm clothes). Jim reading in the evening or playing chess with Spock. Bones finally trying to teach Spock in poker (maybe Spock is secretly good in it?). Jim cooking breakfast for them (maybe pancakes?). [Gosh, I could go on with such things for hours, haha]. Jim goes hiking with all of them. Maybe it’s one of the occasions where Spock is not refusing a Brandy. More Spock and Bones bickering and they’re both asking Jim who’s right and Jim only sighs. Bones and Jim cooking together. Ok, I think I have to stop now, haha, you probably got the idea of what I’m suggesting. I don’t expect someone to make it all in one fanfiction, but a few aspects would be great though.
Fandom:  TOS
Fill: Don We Now Our (Gay) Apparel by @iwillstaywiththemforever
Prompt: Olympic figure skating AU complete with alliances, rivalries, and drama
Fandom:  AOS
Fill:  Silver and Gold by @captainsandraclassof2029
Prompt: Secret Santa on the Enterprise.  Romantic gifts are being given like gangbusters, and everyone desperately tries to figure out who their secret Santas are.  Possible name-trading shenanigans.  Possible mistaken guesses with hilarious consequences.  Possible extra gifts given to someone who is NOT the actual name that was drawn.  Possible downright lies about who has given what to whom– until all is revealed at the last minute!  
Fandom: AOS

So Long July!
17 volunteers across 4 different cities got out there and volunteered this month! 
In Saint Paul, 2 volunteers stenciled 45 storm drains, hung 60 door flyers, and collected one giant garbage back full of trash with the Friends of the Mississippi River.
Tumblr media
10 volunteers in South Bend got out there at the Food Bank of Northern Indiana where they restocked and organized the food pantry for the 178 households (which could contain up to 10 members in one household).
Tumblr media
Heather didn’t let being the only volunteer at the Boston event this month slow them down. They celebrated the second anniversary of being under their current Captain's management by helping sort and distribute 4773 lbs of food with the  Greater Boston Food Mobile Market-Somerville!
Tumblr media
In Seattle, 4 volunteers watered trees in the Burke-Gilman Trail orchard, and the fruits produced in this orchard will be donated to local food banks.
Tumblr media
We hope to see you at an event soon!

I still believe in the magic of a new year. This year beat my ass, but it still taught me lessons. Moving into a new year will give me the opportunity to utilize those lessons while I learn more in turn-I just hope 2019 is a little softer with me.
