Una McCormack

For me, #Mastodon right now feels a little like the first season of #StarTrekDS9. Everyone bumbling around trying to work out how the place operates. The #Bajoran residents putting up with all the #Starfleet personnel arriving with their own rules and regulations. Nobody quite sure how the story is going to unfold. Unfamiliar user interfaces.

Consider me the sole remaining #Cardassian, inexplicably running a dress shop as cover for who the hell knows what.

@unamccormack What a lovely analogy. But I don’t want it to become the Dominion War!

@unamccormack And I'm definitely the trill wandering in late-series mid-arc, head so full of Things and Events they even forget their own pronouns sometimes, but it's full of stars too (the inside of their head, and outside of it) so it evens out.

@unamccormack I’m in the shop next door. I see you and I am taking note. Im quiet and keep to myself. I make quilts. There is a shuttle arriving tomorrow with textiles…but you probably already know. :)

@unamccormack not yet but I want to. I can only make and handquilt about 3 to 4 quilts a year.

@unamccormack Not only is this an *excellent* analogy - but perhaps DS9 is (over)due a rewatch.
Show threadJoshua SkaroffNov 12, 2022
@unamccormack while I love the analogy, self identifying as a cardassian is a bit suspect 😆
