Risa is a pleasure planet in the show. Basically a planet that bases its entire economy on tourism and pleasing others. In all ways. Yes. Even that one.
It was an “all things go” planet that was first discovered in the original series, and then all ships started using it as their shore leave vacation spot.
Stamets, you have near singlehandedly made Lemmy my full time internet home. You keep me off the Other Place, and you bring joy and humor to my day, every day. Thank you for being a collector of humor and for distributing it in true Star Trek fashion, for the use of all. It’s been a long road, getting from there to here, but thanks to you, our time is finally near.
No but seriously. Thank you so much, and thank everyone. I’m stoked I get to be a positive experience here and help people enjoy their time. The more we bring in the better. But we might as well enjoy ourselves along the way, right? Or… as someone much better looking puts it…
If I was told I couldn’t post as much from this account anymore, I’d just make more accounts and post from them too or start sending random users tons of memes to have them to post. Recognition ain’t why I do it. Upvotes ain’t why I do it. It’s because I love seeing this community active and alive! I love seeing people interacting with each other. I love seeing all the new people who show up going “Wait, what’s happening over here?” and then start watching Star Trek, and I know for sure that’s happened at least once. I love people learning new things about the shows they love as well. I’ve learned a bunch in the couple weeks that I’ve been here, I know that for damn sure. The more threads that pop up, the more engagement, the more fun, the more relaxation and the more joy. Especially when we’re in a world that is really really depressing all the time.
Most of all I just love how everyone is nice to each other. Even when people disagree, it’s done in a polite way. You don’t see people downvoting people over differing opinions. You don’t see people attacking people for no reason. A big part of that is the mods (who deserve all the credit in the world for making Risa the balmy paradise that it is) but also the people who keep ourselves in check and help each other out.
If anything, the meme should actually just be me giving gifts to the place that’s made these past few weeks bearable.
Man I’m just in constant awe and gratitude for how many of these things you have! I’ve been Trek memeing for a while but most of these are totally new to me, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. You’re a beautiful human and we love you! ❤️🖖
Oh I’m not. I’ve got a lot of problems and I make a lot of mistakes. A fair few of them have been some major fuckups at that. I don’t always do the right thing and sometimes I know it and don’t even care.
I just try to be better when I can. I don’t always win on that fight. But I try.
