[quilt-giving]

I began quilting in the 1990s. I have handquilted about 60 sci-fi quilts. It has been many years of trial and error. I was never very good at following quilting patterns. My favorite pattern is the disappearing nine patch. I use it a lot in my quilts. My blocks were never perfect. In fact , I’m most certain every quilt I have made has a mistake or two. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, I look at the mistake as adding character and artistic deviations to my quilts. :) A quilt doesn’t have to be a complicated design . My first quilt was an appliqué Star Trek baby quilt. It was simple by quilting standards. I worked so hard on it. It took months to finish but I was incredibly proud. As I was learning to quilt, I secretly hoped to make something fancy and worthy of an art show one day. FYI, A little more than 30 years later, I have never entered any of my quilts into an art show. I quilt for me. I quilt to give one of a kind quilts to friends and family…and the occasional acquaintance on the internet. Maybe one day, one of my quilts will make it to outer space. How glorious would that be? Peace to you and yours.

It would be great if the success of the "500 cigarettes" memes gets people interested in The Orville and gets the show renewed for season 4 and beyond.

Anyway you should watch The Orville, it's a great show. It's not just a Star Trek parody. It's a genuine homage with great storylines in addition to having more humor.

OldTrek this. NuTrek that. so boring!!

Here are two innovative ways to categorize Star Trek shows:

"It's just a silly comedy," I think to myself, "I'm not going to get brain worms about it," I insist, ignoring the fact that I am the getting-brain-worms-about-silly-comedies person

vocal stimming is so weird because i’ll just latch onto a phrase and not even realize it. I always think that the people around me know what i’m referencing which is obviously NOT the case

Dear neurotypical friend,

sorry I said “500 cigarettes” out of nowhere in a deep voice last Saturday???

at least thats how it is for me I just like saying the things that feel nice to say idk if you guy’s experience it differently

five.hundered. cigarettes. 😲

500 MY ASS THATS 464

The Orville episode "Majority Rule" came out in 2017, and it honestly only gets more terrifyingly relevant with time.

This planet is a true absolute democracy -- everything is determined by popular vote.

Even individual people get upvotes and downvotes, and they're permanent.

You can get a downvote for any reason, even if it was something entirely unintentional.

If you get enough downvotes, you're arrested and possibly even lobotomized. In the end, the crew has to save their crew member from the planet's justice system by manipulating public opinion of him. They do this by flooding the planet's public feed with artificially generated images. (Again, this episode came out in 2017.)

There's even a followup episode confirming that life on this planet has only gotten worse in the following years.

Like... The Orville really wasn't fucking around, huh.

[b0tster]

finally watched the orvilles tale of two topas episode

[vreemdkermithebatman]

Gah I love The Orville

First 2 were NOT made by me. I don't know who originally made em, but full credit goes to them! Also...

KERMIT MENTION!!

(Also not made by me)

[chickentendrsanfries]

Bortus from The Orville has truly the most insane queer family in media imaginable...

Like you got the Gay Aliens from Heterophobic Gay Alien Planet where Women Bad and non-gay aliens are put in jail:

Bortus, a panicked bisexual

Bortus's husband Klyden, a heterophobic transphobic-coded but actually somehow cis-phobic misogynistic intersex-coded transgender gay alien,

And their intersex-coded trans but actually also cis daughter Topa

Like when people talk about "weird queer representation" I do in fact picture this fucked up little family

Incredible. I want to draw them at a pride parade post-Klyden redemption arc but I don't even think I'd know what flags to use
