They’re In Their Own Little Corner 💙❤️

can anyone hear me. for the love of god hello

Seriously, enough with the Spock/Chapel thing!! It was mentioned like once in TOS and was basically unrequited on Spock’s side, but here it’s reversed: Spock wants Chapel and she doesn’t want him. Also, why do we lean so heavily into Spock’s romantic life and not WHO HE IS AS A CHARACTER? In the process, it’s changing fundamental aspects of who he is. Spock is a human and a Vulcan, but SNW is just playing it like he’s a human with some Vulcan tendencies. It’s like the inverse of the AOS movies.

There was one SNW episode where they kinda address that he’s not acting like Spock (where he starts smiling), but it’s just dismissed so so fast as Spock « embracing who he really is, » like his Vulcan culture/identity is a prison. Not to play the autism card, but since Spock is a character many autistic people identify with, removing that relatability and then treating it like it’s better for him to be « normal » than to be himself is SO SO WRONG.

All this to say, I think SNW actually does a very good job with a lot of things. Even other ways they characterize Spock are very effective, especially his relationship with Uhura. But COME ONNNNN

Anyway positives from the trailer:

Silly costumes

Space adventures

Space adventures in silly costumes

Looks like a wide range of genres in episodes, which I think is great!

Possible Q continuum stuff???

Happy to see more Jim

Cons:

Please just stop with the Spock/Chapel romance I’m tired

Where is Sam >:(

I still have not forgiven the show for the Gorn

all eyes on him

HHS Walks Back “Autism Registry” Plans - Autistic Self Advocacy Network

On Monday, April 21st, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced plans to collect federal and private health data for upco

“This turbulent week has shown that the administration has lost the trust of the entire autism community. HHS’ walk-back is a success for our advocacy; it shows that our community has power, and that it is vital to speak up when potential threats emerge."

With the knowledge that Vulcan has regularly high winds & subsequent sandstorms I propose a type of guy: midwestern dads watching tornadoes but for Vulcans. Somebody's uncle Sovar standing outside with his hands on his hips watching a massive cloud roll closer. Unconcerned because this happens, like, every couple of weeks. He's like "this one is large, is it not" yes it is go back inside Sovar
