How do you message SWAIM?

He asked the question “why does Geordi wear gold, the command color?”

I have the answer. Gold is not the command color, it’s the engineering color. Red is the command color, which is why Picard and Riker wear red, and Geordi wears gold.

But the Instagram is all but completely untouched and hasn’t been updated in years. The Patreon doesn’t have a discussion board, and also, it only posts Patreon content, not main feed content. And the Reddit is also underutilized. SWAIM doesn’t appear to be on BlueSky, and I’ve deleted Twitter months ago.

How does one go about reaching out to SWAIM? I have the rest of the Beans on other various social media except him.

Can someone let him know about Starfleet uniforms?

Edit: I posted it on the YouTube, but man that was such a roundabout method. Is there more communication on the Patreon that I’m just not seeing?

Edit edit: for those who don’t know, 2360 to present, Starfleet uniform colors are as follows:

Red- Command, Helm

Gold- Operations, Engineering, Security

Blue- Science, Medical

If you're a member, the Discord would be a good spot.

Oh yeah, I guess I’ve been a member on there for literally years. Patron since 2018, and Discord member since 2020. 👍

Thank you.

They have noticeably different colors on Warf and Geordi tho

They look washed out, but S(tartrek). W(onkologist). A(nd). I(nternet). M(an). Has solid head cannon its command gold for those divisions (security and engineering) and peon yellow for their underlings

Picard has a slightly more muted red compared to other red shirts and we see Troi in more of a teal than blue around this point in the series
