    Star Trek TNG: Tin Man

    Today I continued rewatching Season 3 of Star Trek The Next Generation by watching ‘Tin man’. This episode was aired on the 23rd April 1990. As an Autistic person I felt I could relate to the experiences of the three main characters of Tam, Data and Tin Man. This is a 15 part thread and…

    Star Trek TNG: The Offspring

    Yesterday I continued rewatching Season 3 of Star Trek The Next Generation by watching ‘The Offspring’. This episode was aired in 1990 and was ahead of its time in some of the current issues it explores.  I found the episode covered issues relevant to today including gender identity, autism, parenting and artificial intelligence.  In this…

    Portable Star Trek

    I’m really pleased now I have my Star Trek DVD collection on my MicroSD Card. I’ve been extracting it from disc and compressing it to h264 to my external hard drive for years. At least now if I’m in hospital I won’t need to get WiFi and Netflix – just my phone charged up. It’s…

    Star Trek on MicroSD

    My phone broke in November so I was relying on a goodish older phone I had, as I wanted to pay for things in my new home (e.g. washing machine). Though charging it 4+ times a day was a pain – its battery wasn’t good. I’ve replaced it now with a Motorola sim free with…

  • Growing Up in Star Trek

    Growing Up in Star Trek

    I’ve been watching Star Trek since 1995 when I was 11. It became my #ActuallyAutistic special interest and still is today. From around that age I was considered a geek at school and not popular. I struggled to make any friends except other Star Trek fans. It’s fair to say a lot of my psychosocial…

  • Data in Star Trek

    Data in Star Trek

    I’ve always admired Data and his relationship to Captain Picard. Rewatching Data I notice some of his challenges like his literal interpretation. I’ve often had a literal interpretation myself. His interest in researching most topics is very much me as well. He is the ultimate generalist. Learning more about philosophy with the historical context has…

  • Star Trek TNG ‘The Measure of a Man’

    Star Trek TNG ‘The Measure of a Man’

    This afternoon I have been continuing my rewatch of Star Trek The Next Generation. I’m watching “The Measure of a Man”. In this episode Bruce Maddox wants to take Data away for disassembly and experimentation. Fortunately, Picard, argues for Data’s rights as an individual. Picard received advice from Guinan and she compared Androids in becoming…

  • The Economy is a Casino

    The Economy is a Casino

    A way of describing my #ActuallyAutistic life is like being trapped in a casino with no exit. Since I don’t have a job the casino gives me money to play.Sometimes I have to play to fit in but these days I’m focused on life support – essentials & small unnecessary luxuries. I’ve never been to…
