I was at DragonCon one year when Avery Brooks was on a panel, and a Black dude stood up and talked about how the year DS9 came on, he became the sole custodial guardian of his small son, and he was
"terrified* and felt helpless, because he hadn't really had a father himself, and he didn't really know any Black fathers he particularly wanted to emulate, and no Black single fathers at all. He talked about how every week he'd put his kid to bed and sit down and watch Deep Space Nine, and think to himself, "Okay, this, I want us to be this kind of father and son," and how, silly as it might sound, the Idea that Ben could be there for Jake, all the time, successfully, and ear his admiration and trust, was the only source he really had of inspiration, the only voice that was telling him he could handle this job.
I swear to fuck there was a whole auditorium of people in tears by the time he was done, including both him and Brooks, It was one of the most beautiful moments | ever saw about the sometimes bloodless-sounding term "representation," and about fandom in general, and I will never forget it.

Don't let anyone tell you that seeing someone like you on television isn't important.

Now that I know that I'm autistic as well as ADHD, and I'm starting to understand how overwhelm, shutdown and burnout work, I can see why identified so strongly with the character of Odo in Deep Space 9. I too need to spent part of my day (week, month) as a puddle of goo in the back of my office ; )

Remember, if an old Klingon can accept Curzon has become Jadzia… so can you. #pride #ds9

Top: Curzon, my beloved old friend.
Middle: I’m Jadzia now.
Bottom: Jadzia, my beloved old friend.

A scene which Kor is greeting Dax, having know them previously as the host Kurzon and accepting them as they explain they are a different host known as Jadzia.

Nana Visitor is an amazing person, as warm and thoughtful as can be imagined. Today was a really fun day.

Nana Visitor from film and television, especially Deep Space Nine, standing next to me, a tallish white guy with curly hair and a thick gray beard. In this example I'm wearing a black shirt and a dark gray tie, as well as my convention badge and a TNG-era communicator.

I should really watch DS9 again, in my not so humble opinion it's the best Star Trek there's been so far 😊
