I’m one of those crazy leftists. I also enjoy Star Trek. I’m an educator in cancer research. I’m also not THAT kind of doctor. (he/they) 🏳️‍🌈 linktr.ee/pdpatterson

When I was at the University of Missouri in 2011, I was a Residence Hall Coordinator. This was before the Obama admin's Title IX "Dear Colleagues" letter. A man who lived in my dorm entered several women's dorms, jumped in bed with them, and fondled them. We expelled him. WTF Cornell?!

I hope Alan Alda knows that people are using his likeness to make fun of an idiot Republican Senator. He'd be so delighted. I know.

Y'all, can't we just... I mean to say, it would be nice if... can we all recognize how damn good I look for 40?!
It's me! I'm smiling at the camera, wearing a white button-down shirt with a rainbow lanyard. I have on brown glasses and have a close-shaved beard.

Should this be my Halloween costume? Having a more "lean" figure (that is, with little shape), the sizing isn't great — fitting my shoulders makes it too big in the waist and I haven't any hips. But it is really cute! #StarTrek

Spoilers for #StrangeNewWorlds episode 410. Now that the episode has landed I can finally post this photo from my set visit last year. Flagging it as graphic in case anyone scrolls past accidentally. She looks great up close!
The head of the Caitian character that appears in 410.

I loved during Picard when Dave Blass would share info sheets on the ships. I'd love if they'd do something similar for these models of these amazing TAS species! #StarTrek

Thank you @trekcore.com for these photos! I didn't notice the Caitian (M'Ress?!), but I saw the Aurelian/Skorr and member of Sord's species and was so excited to see both in live action on #StarTrekSNW.
Credit to TrekCore.com

Five pictures are enclosed. Two of a yellow Aurelian or Skorr (a winged bird-like alien; they are wearing no uniform). One picture of a Caitian who looks MYSTERIOUSLY look M'Ress. Two last pictures of a reptilian-like alien in a Starfleet uniform who belongs to Sord's species.

Seeing people confused about the use of the term "Admiral" to refer to Pike. Of course, "Fleet Captain" is a title, not a rank. Starfleet isn't exactly like the modern Navy, but it's possible that Pike, as a Rear Admiral Lower Half was also a Fleet Captain. #StarTrek

I can immediately tell what kind of person you are by answering these two questions: 1. Do you push "skip intro" for M*A*S*H? 2. Do you push "skip intro" for Star Trek: Enterprise?

I got both my COVID and flu shots yesterday. While still recovering (somewhat) from surgery. And I feel lousy. And I get especially emotional when I'm sick, so of course watching The One with the Whales — the only Star Trek comedy film — and I'm crying.

I think I’ve posted this before, but I have a weird existential reaction whenever this is mentioned. I become genuinely angry and sad that a mini Star Trek theme park existed but at a time where I couldn’t go to it. Like. People got to sit in Quark’s ffs. And walk around the TNG bridge. Ffs.

Let’s be clear about what this is: a coordinated political hit meant to drive me out of this race. I’m proud of who I am. I won’t be shamed into silence – and I won’t allow my private life to be distorted and weaponized against me.

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?

Call me crazy, but is anyone sexier than 1970s Charlie Brill? (He and his wife Mitzi were a well-known comedy duo, but Charlie is also known for Silk Stalkings, and to many Star Trek fans as Arne Darvin.)
A screenshot from 1970s game show Tattletales. Within a blue box on a television is the gorgeous Mitzi McCall, a brunette with a wonderful smile. Above her is Charlie Brill, hands aside his face, 70s porn 'stache, tinted glasses, and some groovy shirt.
