Staying on the subject of Star Trek, I surely wouldn’t be doing my duty as a blogger if I didn’t direct everyone here, to probably the greatest piece of Trek-related analysis I’ve come across in a long, long time. It’s long and detailed, but in it, Jessie Gender discusses modern Star Trek, and the criticism reactionary p’tahks now hurl at it that contemporary Star Trek is too woke or liberal. Trek has always been woke, of course, but as she explains, such grifters seem to be pining for a conservative past which never actually existed. My concerns about it’s underlying Americano-centric worldview notwithstanding, part of what has always made Star Trek great is it’s championing of inclusion and diversity, including, as Jessie explores really well, how it handles disability. The video is over an hour long, but if you have the time, I’d really encourage you to give it a watch.
