screencap of the above post and the one above it in my feed, which says: 17/06/2026 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... You are part of a community, whether you realise it or not. Online, offline, at work, at school, at home, the seemingly small things you do that benefit your community are - in aggregate with others - what sustains that community. You are important. Keep up the good work.
Social media screencap. Babsie Wolf @Babsiwuff: @BrentSpiner Good morning sir. Not sure if you've answered this, but how come female Soongs all differ in appearance but every single male Soong family member, going back generations, looks excatly like you? Brent Spiner @BrentSpiner: Because I played the parts.
12/02/2026 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... Toxic positivity is victim blaming and I won't abide it anywhere under my command.

SpaceDadSupport transmission that says, "When problematic people shun you, that's simply efficient waste extraction ahead of time. Or as your era puts it: let the rubbish take itself out."
Small black and grey frame around a cross stitch of black cats on a line with ribbons sewn on three of them to look like skirts or tutus, and black stitched text that says, "Expert Cat Herder".
My home office wall with posters of DS9, Enterprise D side diagram, Enterprise D cutaway diagram, many TNG and other nerdy toys, and a printout underneath the DS9 poster of Shax calling it a tacky fascist Cardassian eyesore.
Snow White with her face pressed up against the window to look out, with text added below her face that says, "Pakidge".
A very large cross stitch on black aida fabric of the Enterprise D as shown by an LCARS style screen with lots of other sub-windows around.
15/08/2025 Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Incoming Transmission... Writing you all a prescription today to more freely block terrible people across your social media feeds. It's not your job to "debate" every bigot or disprove every ridiculous conspiracy theory. You are allowed to enjoy social things without taking that burden on. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon
06/06/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... It is not your job to teach adults in your life how to treat you with basic respect. You don't have to give them extra chances to learn. You don't owe them conversations where they get to abuse you further for merely stating your boundaries. You are not a practice punching bag.
25/09/2025 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... It is your duty to be a good, kind, compassionate person within your community and the wider world. It is not your duty to single-handedly fix every problem nor every problematic person. Be part of wonderful things but do not weigh yourself down with burdens that are not yours.
An office wall with words that appear to say, "No Everything Im Is Possible," probably intending by placement to simultaneously say both "everything is possible" and "nothing is impossible" but the spacing doesn't work. Below is the still of Data and Lore in the corridor.

Book cover. Text: SpaceDad Stories: The Dreams We Dare to Dream, Book Three, A Work of Fan Fiction by Kimberly Chapman.

Data's chest is open to reveal an old style of telephone, the receiver of which is in Picard's hand. A faint, ghostly image of Locutus hovers behind Picard.
two panels of Picard and Riker sitting at a table with Riker facepalming in the second. First panel, Picard says, "I upgraded the ship to run on herbs." Second panel he says, "We are now capable of thyme travel."

It might be a thousand miles away, but there is a shark behind you. friedcherryblossomprincess And that shark is totally behind you. It is supporting you in whatever you do and wants you to succeed." The word totally is italicised for emphasis.

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport You can do a lot to undermine evil capitalism in your era simply by being kind, compassionate, and protective towards yourself and others. 6:57 PM · Nov 16, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Our combadges have an "unavailable" setting and I frequently have to remind crew to use it. Everyone needs downtime. It's not only okay for you to refuse to take calls or read social media when you need space, it's essential for your overall health. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 6:29 PM · Nov 16, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Hugs are always available in my sickbay for those who want them, especially for anyone who has been treated badly by other health care workers because of your race, weight, gender, sex, place of origin, etc. If you can get to my sickbay, I will shower you with kindness. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 6:22 PM · Nov 15, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport When we live through difficult times, it's easy to turn on ourselves and imagine we're failing because we can't fix everything. Be gentle with yourself. Your high emotional reaction indicates your goodness, not weakness. 6:17 PM · Nov 15, 2024
Screencap of Bluesky's settings that says, "Accessibility Settings, Alt text, Require alt text before posting, Display larger alt text badges." In this example the "Require alt text" is turned on", the "display larger" is turned off.
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom It's impossible to "cheat" on a diet or be "guilty" of eating some foods or even to have "guilt-free" foods because food has no moral value. Eat food that works for you. Fed is best. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 2:53 PM · Nov 14, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Just because I applaud you for striving to be more doesn't mean I am not also proud of you for being enough as you are now. 2:33 PM · Nov 14, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Validation should always be an offer unencumbered by limitations. Fairness, kindness, and understanding, never as a demand or cudgel. 6:57 PM · Nov 13, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Strive for quality, not perfection. Perfection is usually unattainable and thus both inefficient and exhausting to pursue. Quality is relative, flexible, and more useful. 5:05 PM · Nov 12, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom You deserve nice things. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 4:21 PM · Nov 12, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Peace is worth striving for and protecting. 4:58 PM · Nov 11, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Everyone's limits and needs are different. Stop beating yourself up because you have health issues that other people don't have or understand. I'm proud of you for whatever you were able to do today for your own needs, within your own limits. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 4:50 PM · Nov 11, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Social justice change is, unfortunately, not linear. It comes with setbacks. Do not let hateful people use your fear and anger to entice you to act as they do. Instead, use all of that justifiable worry and rage as fuel to keep progressing forward. The future is counting on you. 5:47 PM · Nov 10, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Give yourself more breaks, more slack, more downtime. No, more than that. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 6:44 PM · Nov 10, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Remember to take your meds, wear a sweater or sunscreen as needed, mask up in your still-ongoing pandemic, and give yourself a thorough stretch before starting your revolution. Don't risk a cramp on the march! Oh, and go to the toilet before you head out! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 5:58 PM · Nov 9, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Many of you have survived a lot of medical trauma to get to where you are today. You are stronger than you think. I'm sorry you're going through this but I respect you, appreciate you, and most of all I believe you. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 5:33 PM · Nov 8, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport The notion that anyone can achieve anything if they try hard enough ignores systemic inequity and blames victims for circumstances they cannot escape. I want you to meet challenges head-on but I also acknowledge your reality. I'm proud of you for the journey, not the destination. 5:01 PM · Nov 8, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom I'm always extra proud of those of you who have kept masking throughout your ongoing pandemic without needing a rule to tell you to do it. You shouldn't need a mandate to care about yourself and others. If you stopped, start again today. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked x5, spoon 6:35 PM · Nov 7, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport It is good to build up a stronger community in the face of unpleasant political news, but it won't work unless you make sure to include all vulnerable populations. 5:47 PM · Nov 7, 2024
Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Turning off the ability for all and sundry to comment on your social media posts is an act of self care. 4:36 PM · Nov 6, 2024
Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Just because other people have suffered the same or worse pain doesn't mean your pain is any less for you. Your needs are valid too. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 4:28 PM · Nov 6, 2024
