Where can I read your works?

Hey there! Everything I’ve written as trekpositive (and everything the other mods have written as well) is right here on this blog. If I’ve misunderstood your question, send me another ask and I’ll clarify.

I made a Worf motivational poster

Bones wants to remind those with invisible disabilities that he sees you, even when it feels like no one else is taking you seriously. He's here supporting you when you're struggling, when you need help in work or school, or when you just cant do something and it's frustrating. You'll be alright, darlin'.

Hey crew, Jim wants to wish all the job hunters luck with their search! If you didn't get the job you wanted, if you just lost your job, if you hate your job and want to leave, there are always opportunities for you. No one job is the end of the world, and plenty of jobs would be lucky to have you! Keep searching, and you'll find one that fits your needs and skills soon enough.

Hey, y'all. I've queued up a couple of posts, and I just got the inbox under 200! For all those who asked about me or said they hope I'm staying safe, I'm doing well! I recently got a job that I really like, and I've managed to avoid getting covid despite working around sick people for much of 2021. This isn't a return to full activity, just a little here and there, but I'll never leave this blog forever.

Incoming transmission from Pavel Chekov: привет! Hello! This is just a quick reminder that there are always going to be distressing things in life from time to time, whether they're personal circumstances or a story on the news. If it's hurting you to think about things like that, I suggest finding an easy way to distract yourself that you can pull out whenever that happens. Watch some videos on your padd, pick up a stim toy, or talk to a loved one. You'll be alright!

This is a message from Bones to say that positive and encouraging posts can and do apply to you! Even if you don’t think they can, there’s no “good enough” or “deserving enough” for a kind word. He sees you, and he cares about you.

Spock has been informed that Christmas things have begun to take over stores, so he would like to remind anyone who does not celebrate Christmas that his sympathies are with you during this time. He knows it can be hard to have someone else’s holiday forced on you. He hopes that if you celebrate anything else during this season, that you have a pleasant holiday. If you do not celebrate any holidays at this time, he wishes you a peaceful several weeks.

Hi, can I get some advice? I know you're all busy, but if you can I could rly use some cheering up. I started working caregiving for my grandparents about a yr ago. Beginning of summer my grandma's Alzheimers got too bad and she passed. Now my grandpa has started refusing to eat. & he doesn't seem to believe me that he still has value to us. I feel like I failed her & am failing him. I'm glad that I've gotten all this extra time with them, but I'm very overwhelmed rn. I don't know what to do.

Bones understands that being a caregiver can be taxing, but he wants you to remember that you can’t always control everything. It’s not your fault that your grandmother passed away, darlin. You didn’t fail her, and you’re not failing your grandfather. You’re doing the best you can by being there for him and continuing to show him your support. Bones hopes that he’ll see that soon enough. Finally, please remember to take care of yourself too. You matter.

Going into October, Jim wants to send you his well wishes if the Halloween season affects your paranoia or anxiety. He hopes you have a safe and calm space to be, whether that’s in person or an online space. Your problems aren’t childish or silly, and you deserve to respected. Stay safe!

Hey I know you aren't taking requests this is the only way I can do this anonymously, you probably don't remember someone messaged you about how they were diagnosed with breast cancer at 16 well I just wanted you to know I'm now 19 and I am totally cancer free after nearly 3 years. It had spread a bit but now I'm doing great I just wanted to let you know that what you did was incredible and I love you to absolute bits. Your the best if this was Reddit I'd give you the argentium award 20 times over.

I do remember you! I’m so happy to hear this update, thank you so much for sharing! And congratulations on being cancer free!!

I’ve been having an extremely stressful year, in short I don’t feel smart, like I’m meant to have emotional connections with people, or long term success. Could I have some advice/encouragement from Bones?

Bones understands having rough periods. We all have hard times, it’s not just you and it’s not a personal failing. He wants you to remember that it won’t always be this way, no matter how hopeless it may seem right now. If there are little things you can do to better your situation or take care of yourself, he asks that you try to do them. Chin up, darlin, you’re gonna make it.

since you talked about the fullness of the inbox and your availability, would additional moderators be something you are interested in? and what are the factors/ skills looked for if yes? I would want to help but idk how else.

Thanks for asking, I really appreciate the interest! I’ve recruited additional mods before, but no one can work on this blog forever, and they’ve all become inactive. Maybe if I try again, new mods could choose how long they think they’d like to contribute, and then they could leave at the end of that period if they didn’t want to continue. What do y’all think? Does this sound like a good plan?

I kinda have the need to tell you, that during corona the seventh most streamed show in Germany is Star Trek Enterprise. Picard on place 2

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing! I hope it’s helping people have a little fun and hope during this hard time.

a reminder from Worf

If you’re having a hard time because you’re not out to the people you’re living with right now, Jim wants you to know that he’s here for you. He knows that when this is all over, you’ll be able to go out and see your friends, or spend time by yourself without the stress of being stuck inside. You can get through this, he’s sure of it.
