Threshold, the Artificial Heart, and the Blurred Line Between Medicine and Science Fiction

Skyfall Passage

“The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

i do not need an ai chatbot to speak to my characters. i will be doing something that makes me anxious and go gosh what would tom paris do if he was driving down this freeway rn and he comes to me and says dont be scared pepperoni is in your future. keep driving towards pizzatown

The First Step

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” — Lao Tzu

And angels do talk to me

And I might have lost control

It’s nothing you said

Some things get stuck in your head

And live forever

Now I’m in the 2nd grade

Or on tour for 50 days

And it’s all slipping away

While you collect the rain

It’s gonna spill forever

The fact that Threshold is only like 4 months older than me is funny but also that means I’m turning 30 this year and I am not prepared.

Doors are good. They keep things in, keep things out. Keep your little brother from spying on you. Slow the progress of a house fire. People talk about opening doors to other worlds, to new possibilities, to the mind. Even the subconscious recognizes the significance of a door. You know that thing where you sometimes forget what you are looking for when you walk from room to room? Teresa read an article about it once. The brain stores a different set of memories and expectations for each room, and it recognizes a door as a threshold, a reflexive trigger to abandon whatever it was doing and prepare for something new.

I want you all to know that on Threshold Day I wanted to watch Threshold but my Paramount Plus subscription had expired and I did not want to pay for another month just to watch Threshold or deal with a download so I bought the individual episode for $1.99 and I watched Threshold and it was the best 2 dollars I ever spent.

“Who are you?”, he asked, his face being curious and hesitant at the same time.

The man smiled. “Well. It depends.”

“Depends on what?”, the ghost wanted to know.

The man walked slowly, hands crossed behind his back, studying the beautiful baroque details on the railing of the gallery.

“Who you ask.”

“I ask you. Explain yourself.”

The ghost was intrigued. It had been an eternity since anyone spoke to him at all. He was invisible to people.

His brows furrowed with worry.

The man looked down to the stage, where they just started a test for the right lighting.

“A muse”, he finally answered, a crooked smile on his face.

“A muse?”, echoed the ghost in disbelief. “What does that mean?”.

The man walked to the side of the gallery. The lamps won’t be lit until the performance would start in about a few hours.

The shadows swallowed him… only to let her return. A breathtakingly beautiful woman.

“It means that I can be whoever you need me to be.”

She smiled elegantly, batting her long lashes. “Or whoever you want me to be.”

The ghost blinked at her, not knowing what to respond.

Guys there was a pepperoni pizza in the episode of starfleet academy that aired Jan 29

wore my salamander shirt for our threshold party! not pictured: pepperoni pizza with olives

They really said “Every day is Threshold Day”

Do any of you weirdos (affectionate) make quality enamel pins? I collect them and I NEED a Threshold pin. Or two. Or a set.

I checked Etsy and weirdly, didn’t see any.

If lower decks went for another season they could have done an episode where Tom Paris’ hyper evolved Salamander babies come back with severe daddy issues

so how are we all feeling

I got my friend to watch Threshold

Me, forgetting threshold day:

The crap ton of notes i got on a post about missing threshold day:

I apologize for the Threshold posting, but after a short break for Sub Rosa day today, it’ll continue, because tumblr nerfed my ass and said too much threshold day posting, and there’s still more good posts out there for the 30th

So definitely block these tags if you don’t want to deal with the spam again

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY THRESHOLD DAY POSTS DIDN’T QUEUE RIGHT- I QUEUED THEM FOR 2027 INSTEAD OF 2026 IM SOBBING

Well, we wait until next year for the Lizard Apocalypse. This year, all i can say is “whoops, got a bit messed up at warp 11, forgot how the flow of time works”
