Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleague—he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officer—a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known.

I love being terrible at chess. I love having no idea how to do a proper checkmate. I love sacrificing all of my pawns fewer than ten moves in. People devote their entire lives to it and I’m just like “wheeeeee horsies”

Very excited to be able to get to the Kennedy space centre today ❤️ loving all the big rockets 🚀

Enjoying Tom’s birthday cruising! Whoop whoop he got a little cake yesterday and has taken to it like a duck to water! @tungro.otter.dad

Back from Australia and seeing Lady Gaga in Sydney. Epic journey and best concert of my life despite the rain! Also got to catch up with my sister which was so special ❤️ very lucky but now also very jet lagged.

Had delicious food with @stormvixen.bsky.social ❤️ so full of yum now.

When you end up talking Star Trek on Bluesky/Telegram and it makes you smile just knowing there are fellow nerds out there who are equally into it. I would happily listen to the their head canon for hours (whilst trying not to info dump my whole one of them). ♥️ 🖖

Seeking out new civilisations. To boldly go …

Not bad for a lazy holiday Alex. 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

Exploring Rhodes Town Today! It’s gloriously sunny 🌞 and it’s so beautiful. So much history to explore.

I had a lovely day looking around Portsmouth historic dockyard with @stormvixen.bsky.social and @makari.moggy.org - fun times!

Today was another day where something struck me and I wanted to tell dad about it. Then I realised I can never tell him anything again. And that really sucks.

Run complete for the day ✅ I think I’ll need to continue my Babylon 5 watch through. Need some sweet white star action. And Marcus. ❤️

Running complete for today - quite warm here!

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

I’ve made it back to Norway. 🇳🇴 such a beautiful country ❤️

Hugs to those who find Father's Day a struggle. Whether you don't get on, he's no longer here, you can’t be with him or whatever your story, I'm sending love xxx

once again I must tap my own sign

This morning @greenparty.org.uk has called for the EHRC’s harsh and ill-considered guidance on single-sex spaces to be withdrawn. As it stands the guidance puts trans people at risk of discrimination & violence, and clearly hasn’t been drawn up with trans people’s input. I’ll be pushing for better.

Whatever the rulings, the feeble government response and the nastiness of the people popping champagne. Trans people are my family, I love you all and we’re in this together. We all deserve a place, respect and dignity. ❤️ 🏳️‍⚧️

Today’s run complete whoop! It was so bad. No distance or timings will be included but I do have funky shorts on.

It’s been two weeks since I lost my father. Two weeks of ups and downs, tears and laughter. Two weeks to process the often difficult relationship I had with him. I still haven’t quite come to terms with the loss. I thought we had more time. Goodbye dad.

Run in the sunshine complete.

Looking almost intelligent! Happy Monday everyone 😃

Back to running and gym now. Lost a lot of muscle mass after being quite poorly tail end of last year. But I’m ready to build back up ❤️

About to catch my flight back to the UK. I’ve had a wonderful time here. Thank you NZ for being so welcoming and kind. I feel more at home here than anywhere I’ve been.

Thank you, Christchurch for a lovely stay. I love the art all around the city and look forward to returning next time I’m in NZ.

Yay made it to Auckland. Lovely summer son! Also kiwis are so much better at brunch, thank you - I am not worthy.

Dino Christmas jumper activated. Merry Xmas 🎅

Merry Star Trek! #gingerbread

Kira is definitely a top. #startrek #DS9

Just watching the pilot episode of DS9. It’s amazing how different the tone is compared to TNG, the show really pushes the point right from the start that this will be a different point of view and how arrogant Starfleet can be. Also Sisko and Jake’s relationship is beautiful. ❤️ #startrek #DS9

g’morning dudes on this app 🤙🏻

I’m really excited about the Star Trek lower decks series finale this week but also desperately sad to see it go. Thank you for making a show with so much humour and heart. A real love letter to fans. #startreklowerdecks

Fuck zodiac signs, who’s your favorite crystal gem?

Since yesterday I was talking about Gates McFadden’s struggles to get behind the camera opportunities, it’s time for me to share a story about the Doctor and how she’s one of the reasons I’m a Professor. 🧵 (Here’s us at the 2024 #StarTrek convention #STLV)

Based off your personality what would you bend?

I’m feeling exhausted this morning and would rather just curl up in a blanket watching some feel good gay films. Anyone got any suggestions. Beautiful Thing is on the list.

Wondrous Creatures 🌿 (2021)

Gym sprints complete. Time for cheesecake

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Bertie didn’t stop me, very damp though 🏃‍♂️ 💨 time for a shower 🚿

Watching Alien Romulus for the first time. Pretty darn scared and nothing scary had happened so far 😝

Out for an evening run after taking the same route for a walk with mum earlier . ❤️

I am loving the Dino sweater 🦖

I am the chef in PJs tonight. It just felt more cosy! 🧑‍🍳

1st chick of the season at Shy lake #birds #ornithology

I did a run yesterday for the first time in a few weeks. That was haaard. Gotta get back to it though ❤️ 🏃‍♂️
