About a month ago the date of the Bell Riots came and went, I found this interesting thread about it on the Star Trek sub and this comment in particular

I get the notion of living through clever DS9 canon events but I was reading people encouraging cosplay in homeless encampments in San Francisco. That’s like those idiots who try to get social media clout by going Auschwitz.

Stop it. People are having a tough enough time as it is and they don’t need Trekkers pretending.

You want to do something to commemorate this day? Take them food, volunteer at a shelter. Better yet, vote on measures that will help at the ballot box.

And if you want to cosplay, then be the change you want to see. Sisko, Bashir and Dax were Starfleet officers. THAT’S your cosplay. Get a bunch of friends together, Starfleet it up and volunteer at a kitchen or something, be the change.

Interesting to see the effect that 1995 two-parter episode has had on pop culture, tho it seems like most Trekkies are still alright

I like the idea of making the day of the Bell Riots the IRL homeless activism day.
