Space Dad Pike

Your Space Dad, if you need one. No matter who you are, you'll always have a place on this ship. He/him.

(Currently on leave, but checking messages.)

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

And with that... have a good night, everyone.

I'm taking some time off for a while, but I'll still be checking messages while I'm away.

Stay out of trouble. Rule 1 still applies:

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

There are only four rules in this family:

1. Be kind.

2. Respect each other's boundaries.

3. If you show me art, it goes in my ready room, and I'm bragging to everyone about your hard work.

4. Remember that you are valued and loved, always.

Got it?

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

I'm a day late, but... happy new year!

What are your small goals for the year? What things are you doing more often, or small habits you're building?

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

Hi.

Checking in: how are you doing?

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

But seriously -- whether or not you're open about who you are, being yourself is an act of courage.

If you're still looking for the right words, the right name, or the right pronouns, take your time.

We're grateful for you, as you are, right now.

To our transgender and/or non-binary crew members:

We see you. Please try to contain your mischief until tomorrow, when you'll once again be out of phase.

@ScougsD I'm so relieved to hear this! 🫂

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

Whoops, logged in a bit later than I planned.

For everyone who's still up: what was the best part of your weekend?

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

@ScougsD Always.

🫂🫂🫂

(You know where to find me if you need to talk.)

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

Happy Friday! Anything fun planned for the weekend?

("Staying home and resting" counts.)

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

@AnjaTEAgle Have fun! I'll expect a report of any strange findings when you return.

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

I know I don't have to remind you, but just in case... Don't go around pinching your crewmates.

No one's in green. You're all in uniform.

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

Hi.

Still on leave, but there's another place you can find me if you need me.

[Newton! @HelloNewtonBot]

HEEEEEEEY!

Today, I'd like you to make your bed, but be kind to yourself about it, okay?

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

And with that... have a good night, everyone.

I'm taking some time off for a while, but I'll still be checking messages while I'm away.

Reminder/PSA for anyone who takes medications, this time of year:

Avoid foods with charcoal. It'll make your meds less effective, and in some cases neutralize them entirely.

Also, go take your meds if you haven't already.

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

@ScougsD These look fantastic!

[Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport]

Every time you feel worthless, I want you to think of a random person who performed an act of kindness for you in the past, whom you never saw again but their small act reverberates to this day. You are that random person for someone else. You matter.

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

We made it to Saturday!

Give yourself time to rest today, if you can. You deserve it.

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

@ScougsD ...sigh.

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

@SFLApodcast Coffee, preparation details somewhat unclear because it was waiting for me at my desk.

(It's good coffee, I suspect *highly* caffeinated. I have my suspicions about who left it, but can't prove anything.)

[Space Dad Pike @SpaceDadPike]

@GautreauRachel Very glad to hear you're all safe. Keeping you in my thoughts -- if there's anything any of us can do to help, we're here.

How's your weekend going?
