It's terribly distracting when the helmsman spends the entire shift intensely craving 'stuffed crust pizza' and 'chicken fingers.' You're piloting a starship, not a 21st-century drive-through! Focus! #LwaxanaTroi #FastFoodFantasies #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Commander Riker has a very open mind. Wonderfully, enthusiastically open. Almost too open. I admire it even as I occasionally wish for a dimmer switch. #LwaxanaTroi #RikerEnergy #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I refuse to use the transporter if the operator is distracted. Last time, the chief was agonizing over an argument with his mother, and I materialized with my hair completely devoid of volume! Mr. Homn had to spend three hours restoring it. Never again! #LwaxanaTroi #TransporterTrauma #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

To anyone who has ever had to be brave simply to walk into a room as themselves: I have felt that kind of courage. It's among the most remarkable things a person can carry. I see you. #LwaxanaTroi #CourageToBeYourself #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I simply don't understand the human fascination with holodecks. Why program a fake, tedious romance when there are perfectly good, emotionally repressed Starfleet officers walking right outside the door? Go out and mingle, darlings! #LwaxanaTroi #HolodeckNonsense #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Traditional Betazoid weddings are conducted in the nude. I find it baffling that other cultures find this shocking. Clothing at weddings seems deeply suspicious to me. #LwaxanaTroi #WeddingTraditions #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I'm currently enduring a diplomatic dinner where the ambassador is mentally agonizing over his replicated pasta puttanesca. 'It needs more capers,' he thinks, over and over. Darling, you're in deep space! Just be grateful it doesn't taste like warp plasma and eat your dinner. #LwaxanaTroi #ReplicatorWoes #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

The universe contains multitudes. So do people. I've never once encountered a soul that was improved by being forced into a smaller version of itself. Not once. #LwaxanaTroi #BeMoreNotLess #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Remember, darlings: Life's too short to wear drab colors or to listen to Vulcans talk about logic for more than five minutes. Eat the dessert, flirt with the Captain, and never, ever let anyone tell you that you're too much. You're exactly the right amount. #LwaxanaTroi #LiveYourTruth #BetazedWay #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Which one of you retro-tech enthusiasts on Deck 6 hooked up a 20th-century IBM Model M keyboard to your terminal? The physical clacking is deafening, but your mental delight over the tactile feedback is even louder. We have touchscreens for a reason. #LwaxanaTroi #LoudTyping #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon
