Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

No no no.

For the Klingon Therapist:

The battle against mental illness is not to be understood as a conventional battle between conventional militaries. It has much more in common with the scenario of a guerilla resistance pitted against a better trained force, with more numbers, better equipment, and seemingly unlimited resources, and logistical capability.

But, this seemingly dire state of affairs is itself the enemy.

In this situation, your continued existence is in itself a victory, for the truth almost always is that the seemingly infinite and omnipotent enemy... is not actually so.

You cannot fight the enemy on their own terms and expect to win, you can however study your enemy, find its weaknesses and limitations, and develop your own unorthodox manuevers and techniques to diminish the enemy or neutralize its effects, while slowly growing your own strength, and morale, knowing that every day the guerilla force that is you, that this still exists... that that is a victory.

Total, definitive, perfect victory is not guaranteed, the path may be a long and gruelling one, with many tragedies and much heartbreak along the way...

... but you honor yourself and your ancestors every single moment that you do not admit defeat, every moment that you can still draw the breath of a warrior.
