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.

Interracial couples weren't allowed to marry until 1967. Women weren't allowed to have credit cards or their own bank accounts until 1974.

Interracial marriage was made legal nationally in 1967 but much longer outside of the Deep South. The bank account bit is just wrong. Credit cards is true.

Yes, just like gay marriage was legal in some states before it was nationally. This does not make my statement incorrect, nor does your statement really add anything to the original claim.

The bank account bit is just wrong.

Again, you're being unnecessarily pedantic. Some women were allowed to have bank accounts, but often had to have the permission of their husband or a male co-signer. Most women faced hurdles that made it difficult or impossible to obtain a bank account by themselves.
