I am a christian milennial who works in commercial greenhouse. If you have questions about plants or commercial horticulture, please ask them! Always excited about plants, mushrooms, and sci fi. My icon was one of my foster kittens. Background photo is Lake Erie.  

Due to popular request, I am providing the spreadsheet calculators for Star Trek age comparisons and for calculating the orbital period of planets in the Star Trek universe.

You will need to copy/download the calculators in order to use them.

Questions?

Please reblog the post and ask!

I am willing to add more aliens to the age comparison calculator if you have age comparison data (e.g. stuff from Memory Alpha or Memory Beta, stated vs apparent age, etc.).

Technical Notes are below the cut:

Image description: it's three separate drawings of Darth Vader and Princess Leia. They're in the iconic scene where Vader tells Luke he's his father but Leia is in Luke's place. Vader says "Bail Organa never told you what happened to your father." And Leia responds with "Dad told me enough" and opens her fist to reveal she's holding sand. End of description.

Essential cat vocalisations:

  • Follow me quickly, it’s an emergency! *leads human to a ball of lint*
  • I don’t need anything in particular, I just want you to verbally acknowledge that I exist
  • What you’re doing doesn’t bother me enough to actually do anything about it, but I want my disapproval on the record nonetheless
  • That was supposed to be something else, but my vocal cords weren’t warmed up, so it came out as a squeak
  • Cat.exe is restarting – please stand by
  • It is 3am, I must sing the song of my people, all 137 verses of it

When you try to do a nice happy portrait, but everyone in the picture is a chaos gremlin, so it lasts about three seconds before Baby Yoda ends up with a blaster and all bets are off.

I’ll get back to the October series for the next post, but I was really proud of how this commission turned out, so I wanted to make sure it got posted so y’all could see it.

“Perhaps you’d like to see my pets. They were ALL … rescues.” 

“And as always, gentlemen, our profits will be … donated.” 

“Oh, I wish I could stay and chat, but I’m afraid I have to take my friend to the airport.”

The Pretender 2001  | First Aired: Jan. 22, 2001

First there’s the explosion in the D.C. underground. The there’s Miss Parker seeing visions, and the Mr. Raines getting murdered, then unmurdered. And then Mr. Lyle, who used to not have a thumb, getting a thumb and Mr. Raines, who had a thumb, losing his thumb to Mr. Lyle. And then finding out that not only one pretender escaped from the Centre. No, three of them did. And then trying to locate a live psychiatrist, only to find a dead doc and being arrested by a guy who’s not really a federal agent. Oh, and while we’re at it, why don’t we just throw Mr. Parker into the mix?
