Here is another link, this video is more focused on her art specifically.
Our client Shelby always picks out the cutest jewelry for her piercings.
She had Adam pierce her tragus a little over a week ago and picked out this beautiful BVLA baby blue opal set in a 14k rose gold millgrain prong. She even got a matching piece for her other healed tragus Cody had pierced.
Great choice as always, Shelby. Thank you so much!

Badass
@petermorwood - bad trigger disclipine alert! ;)
The lack of trigger-guards on gun-shape, electric-razor-shape and dust-buster-shape hand phasers - also Klingon and Romulan disruptors -
is a piece of iconic (but IMO bad) design dating back to TOS in the 1960s, when it probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
Real Weapons made without trigger guards are rare, often region-specific, and usually old: off the top of my head I can think of pistols from Scotland…
…from the Caucasus…
…from Japan…
…and a few other places like Northern India, but mostly a trigger guard is there to (surprise!) guard the trigger…
Some early revolvers didn’t have them either, with either spur triggers (it didn’t extend any further from between the spur until the action was cocked)…
…or folding triggers which only snapped into position when the action was cocked - in both cases it’s hard to accidentally pull something that isn’t there…
The “Fitzgerald Special” modification doesn’t count, since it starts with a standard revolver then snips bits off, rather than manufacturing it that way.
Besides his bad trigger discipline, Kirk in the GIF is just displaying lousy weapon safety practice, and no amount of explanation* about why he isn’t at risk of trimming his nose-hair down to the bone will change that.
*Unless it’s appeared in one of the series or the movies, such explanation is non-canon, even in an Official novel or comic: @dduane
and I were informed long ago that “it’s only canon if it appears/is
mentioned on-screen”.
I don’t know if this policy has changed.
The Many Ways Space Can Kill You
Animator Thomas Lucas shows us (in the cutest way possible) just how dangerous Space can be. The Gifs really don’t do it justice, watch the full video over on Vimeo.
Odin went on an adventure outside after it rained and met some small friends along the way!
