In which @alexanderchee.bsky.social writes beautifully (as always) about the way Heated Rivalry has become a fragment shored against the ruin of almost everyone's mental health, and the artistic and narrative joys of both its universality and its specificity. open.substack.com/pub/querent/...

block immediately everyone

this is the part where he steps over our dead bodies for an across the aisle red vote btw

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

@susanlbridges.bsky.social is also up there, and her name also wasn’t cleared by legal so knowing we’re also huge Superman and Lois fans… and she got to be right beneath our other amazing friend @drerinmac.bsky.social!

In the US, Starfleet Academy's first episode is a freebie, BTW.

the latest Star Trek Adventures book @susanlbridges.bsky.social and i worked on is out! get yourself some rpg goodness!

Hey all the new folks. Yes I used to work at Blockbuster. But I’ve got a new book out today. STAR TREK: LORE WAR is the big finale event that finished our two year run of Trek and Defiant comics. Written by me & my buds @hivemindactual.bsky.social, incredible art by Davide Tinto.

CBR did a lovely little article about what we’re doing with Seven’s queer awakening in STAR TREK VOYAGER: HOMECOMING 🩷

Are you also in a gay hockey show cult? It’s great right? I have gay hockey show bracelets for sale right now and they’ll ship tomorrow if you order tonight! #heatedrivalry camachoscreationsus.etsy.com

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things. This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

If you haven’t seen Star Trek: Prodigy yet, you can buy an entire 20 episode season for less than $10 digitally right now. 🖖

"Carol is, in fact, a portrait of deradicalisation; the comfortable dissenter in a position of privilege who must loosen her ethical boundaries to preserve that privilege (like so many of us, our ideals and morals shackled to capitalism even as it devours the world)." 😮‍💨🔥 What a read.

KITTY!

BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with @markey.senate.gov to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents. This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.

Gofundme has a policy against raising $ to cover legal fees for people involved in violent acts like that killer Ross. If you see any such account, report it to gofundme.com.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

ScifiPulse gives STAR TREK VOYAGER: HOMECOMING issue 4 a stunning 9.6/10!! 😍

anyway i hear some fuckery in the bathroom so i go to check what’s going on and this is what i see

Last week I … Read: Through Gates of Garnet and Gold by Seanan McGuire Wrote: art reviews, lettering Saw: Spinal Tap 2 Heard: my own thoughts

The fun thing about roller skating is that I have to focus ALL of my attention on my balance for over an hour straight. It’s such a gift to disconnect from the neverending tsunami of my thoughts. May you find something similar that brings you joy (or at least a brain break) in these weird times.

As a kid who grew up in an emotionally abusive environment, Star Trek was able to model for me the way people were supposed to talk to each other, disagree with each other, and love each other. I see how Stranger Things can be that for a new generation, and that makes me happy.

Dog owners, if you know your dog is reactive it’s irresponsible to bring them to an outdoor dog friendly cafe. I saw a large reactive dog lose his mind at seeing a dog MANY feet away. The owner could barely control him. Please find a trainer, this is SO dangerous & stressful for the dog & for you!

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

RIP me, died from tripping over this obvious trip hazard who scooted under my feet and laid down one (1) second before my foot descended (also dropped my fresh cup of boiling hot tea, luckily not onto her) She also had not moved at all from her spot when I limped back to wipe up the tea

didn’t realize we needed a holy saint of transness, but now that we’re here no notes

A while back, I worked at a comic book store five days a week, so I had access to a lot of old Marvel and DC comics. I made these brushes from scanning the comics directly. My brush set has all 64 colors which were possible to print on newspaper at the time. ko-fi.com/s/0bf878660e

this is it

#LasVegas meet some of the coolest creators in comics: Lauren Sankovitch (editor Good Trouble) Janet Lee (Return of the Dapper Men) Corinna Bechko (Sister Impersonator, Blood Type) Janet Harvey (Toxic Avenger, Wonder Woman) Mairghread Scott (VR Troopers) & me! @alternaterealitylv Sat 1/10 2-4pm

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

This is so good, and has made me think about how I also use reading to escape from my own emotions, and how I truly do need to write about how I’m feeling and what my life looks like, and I’m going to find a way to do that. Also happy to see a shout out for Johannes T. Evans, an incredible writer!

thank you so much!! 🩷🩷🩷

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will

Ok I'm feeling much better today so it is worth saying: What Rahawa did in this interview was such an act of generosity and softness that I rarely afford myself. It was deeply meaningful to be treated this way. I wish you all a moment when someone handles you with this kind of gentle warmth.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Hey if you got screeners and you’re already posting spoilers may your pillow be always too warm and your shoes too small.

A little good news today. For the first time since December 2000, the entire state of California is no longer either entering or recovering from a drought! That's 25 years of drought conditions. www.drought.gov/states/calif...

This is great. Art is about feeling, it’s lovely if you pilot a little style on the way, but in the end that’s it.

If someone hires me soon I might have to start making beaded bracelets for me, for friends, to hand out to strangers, I do not know. Want.

thank you for the amazing 9/10 review! 🩷 “And, in the spirit of Trek, Janeway…endangers her crew to save as many as possible. That is what Star Trek is about. You don’t have to agree with her actions, but if you truly call yourself a Trekkie (or Trekker), you understand and appreciate it.”
