Happy Anniversary to all who observe! (Went to to watch all 337 minutes of the Star Trek Genesis Triology. Theater played them straight through without breaks! Yet time flew by. Bonus fun: I’d never seen Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. But Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is still the best one!) 💫 ✨

Bay Area Protest Tour for #NoKings : Saratoga CA! (not to be confused with its namesake in NY). And it was Saratoga’s first local protest too!

Protest sign of a drawing of orange face with swoop of blond hair wearing a gold crown, all enclosed within red circle with a slash across, stating underneath “Since 1776”

Protestors lining a shady street hold signs—one sign displays a U.S. flag, above which states “Pro-America” and below states “Anti-Trump;” another sign states “Make Facism Wrong Again!” Someone waves a Canadian flag, and a large U.S. flag is visible in the distance.

Protestors line street in dappled shade holding signs and U.S. flags. The sign in front reads: “I’d rather be a “Fierce Patriot” than a “Loyal Subject””

Protest signs stating “America Deserves a Boring Government” and “Criminal in Chief” with a small cartoon picture of Trump behind bars. A couple of U.S. flags are also visible.

Loved this show!! Went to both 1994 and 1996 conventions in Minneapolis—so much fun!! I had planned one trip with others that also conflicted with a friend’s wedding, but I chose convention. I felt guilty but friend ended up getting divorced so I think I chose wisely! 😏 (And we are still friends! 😁)
