Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
Happy birthday to Clint Howard, who made his Star Trek debut at age 7 in "The Corbomite Maneuver." Decades later, he appeared on Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and then decades after that, Discovery and Strange New Worlds.

Oh myyy! Happy 89th birthday to George Takei, Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek, The Animated Series, Voyager, Lower Decks & Very Short Treks, and in six Star Trek films. He's also a director, author, voiceover artist, and activist, and the subject of a great new documentary called Beam Me Up, Sulu.
Happy birthday to Ashley Judd, who made her TV debut as Ensign Robin Lefler on Star Trek: The Next Generation. She's most remembered for helping Wesley save the Enterprise in "The Game," but her first appearance was in "Darmok."
Happy birthday to Herman Zimmerman, the Art Director and Production Designer who worked on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and six Trek movies. He co-designed some of Trek's most famous sets.
I feel like this is the normal vibe when y’all record an episode 😂
This was one of my favorite episodes to work on. Alan McElroy and I got really excited about seeing a weapon from the Temporal War, so we dumped a hundred time travel ideas on Sean Cochran. He took all these crazy pitches, honed a few of them, and crafted one of our most fun episodes.
We could’ve spent all day at @startrektour.bsky.social but eventually they beamed us out.
