[DEVIATION] Live long and prosper because it's Star Trek Day! 60 years ago today, on September 8th 1966, the first episode of Star Trek aired in the United States of America. "The Man Trap" saw the crew of the USS Enterprise encountering a mysterious space vampire on an alien planet. Funny thing about this episode? It wasn't even the actual pilot episode of Star Trek! After a failed first pilot episode was rejected as "too brainy" for audiences, a rare second pilot episode secured the show's future; but even that pilot wasn't aired until the third episode of season 1. "The Man Trap" won out as it featured distinct sci-fi elements, a mysterious alien monster, and showcase the main trio of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. Who knew!   In honor of this stellar anniversary, I have a galaxy full of fun Star Trek facts, fictions, and fantasies for you to enjoy below. Set phasers for fun! Beyond Antares is a song written for Nyota Uhura [ Nichelle Nichols] and was originally sung accompanied by the

Patter-patter-patter. I find the sound of the rain against the umbrella really satisfying. Sometimes, I'll hum to the rhytm, but most of the times, I just enjoy the ambience. The days grow shorter now, colder. I need a jacket for the evening walks, something with deep pockets to hold the chestnuts I find irresistible to pick up. Halloween is almost upon us, and it makes me think how many people think about October through the lens of it. For me, it's that, of course - Halloween is my favourite holiday - but there's more. I like sitting in the local cemetery and thinking about how life passes. There is stillness there that doesn't demand anything from me. I think about all these petty little squabbles, tiny things people get upset over - but the headstones provide a necessary perspective. In ten, fifteen, twenty years, will these frictions matter? Will I even remember what the argument was about? As I grew older, I definitely started to handle bad days better; I simply ask myself

Hi everyone! 👋 @vagrantscout from the @Community team here. Back on September 18th, I visited Anthro SoCal 2026 to check out the scene and it was epic! 🐾 From hanging with DeviantArt members to meeting amazing new artists, I was completely immersed in the Anthro / Furry universe all afternoon. Here’s a look back at all the fun that was had at this year’s con! [DEVIATION] [DEVIATION] [DEVIATION] The star of the show 🌟 DeviantArt senior member @The-SixthLeafClover was nice enough to let me hang out at her booth to meet some deviants and hand out some swag. She was a total rock star at the convention with the largest booth in the Dealer’s Den and a constant stream of people visiting. She even got to design the official tank top for the convention, so cool! 😎 The Fursuits were FIERCE! 🐺 I’m always amazed by the artistry that goes into fursuit design, but this year’s offerings were just stunning. New innovations in cooling, mask automations, tech integrations, and just so many different
