What's your sign?

drip, drip, drip

So far I’ve only gotten to eventually wigs; but I’m getting there.

Amelia Earhart? The aviatrix?

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

This is the majority's reasoning—one page, unsigned, on the shadow docket. The majority allows this "pocket rescission" because it thinks the intended beneficiaries of the money likely don't have authority to sue over its unlawful impoundment. (Which is wrong.) www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

24 years ago, Star Trek dared to tell us about its earliest days in the fabulous ENTERPRISE. Clearly, it's had an impact on me, as evidenced by the fact that I needed to write a 100,000-word history book on the founding of the United Federation of Planets. nascentnovice.com/sanfrancisco...

'Law and Order' has cast David Ajala as a detective in Season 25. Get details!

So, after nearly twelve years with my now husband, he's finally figured out I haven't watched a single episode of the X-Files. So at least 164 hours of my time on this rock running through space has now been bookmarked. (No one tell him I'm really enjoying it so far, he can't know)

@pjlusk.bsky.social brings it to you every time. Check out the latest chapter of In The Raptor’s Claws: wherein you might learn about the namesake for the famous Sutherland-class ships

Thirty-five years ago, TNG changed TV forever with The Best of Both Worlds. The Borg returned, Picard was taken, and we got one of the greatest cliffhangers in sci-fi history On the latest Great Derelict, I’m joined by @seanferrick.bsky.social to look back at the legacy of this landmark story.

Politico is seen as a joke by actual politicos; a sad relic too stupid to be relevant. That said; there is no autism problem. Only eugenicists, many of whom are simpatico with the ownership of Politico, would like something so disgusting.

I'm rereading @fallofromulus.bsky.social today for research, and if you haven't checked it out yet, I really recommend it. A very fresh, very fascinating look at the Romulans in a post-Empress era. Give it a try today: fallofromulus.weebly.com/prologue.html

Hey #StarTrek peeps. If you can’t decide on a Trek episode to watch, try my Randomizer. Fully updated with every episode from every series. It will give you a totally random pull at the top of the page and a random pull from each series if you’re feeling a specific show. trekprofiles.com/random/

It is a proven fact: I am never more focused and motivated to write than while the Rings of Power soundtrack is blaring behind me.

I’m going to guess one of the Conjuring films, idk

Harlots, The Golden Girls, Frasier, Stargate SG-1, The Leftovers

A post that asks which 5 TV shows you’d take with you to the desert island, in order of preference.

HELL YEAH

Me, spending an afternoon deep into the Presidential Election of 2188 and Judicial Reformation Act of 2189 C.E.

Signing up for Gresham College online lecture again; is it autumn already?

In an age of horrors being sent to us every single day, a major media figure saying we should just kill the homeless, is somehow something more horrible. Brian Kilmeade calling to just kill Americans; and he gets to keep rolling up to work. No excuses for this.

Less usable knowledge in here than I’d imagine but it’s good to be reminded space is wild.

In other fabulous sci-fi stories you haven’t been reading news… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did you like SAN FRAN, 2161? I also wrote a tight, murder mystery in the Star Wars universe. Four journalists at THE BEACON are compelled to investigate the vast plot that killed their colleague and might just take down the Republic. archiveofourown.org/works/384475...

Legitimately hilarious

The last pieces of art and footnotes are being worked into the .pdf of the completed SAN FRANCISCO, 2161 novel. I'm so excited for folks who have been waiting for a full doc (which I also usually do, I get it) to get into the story of how we enter a democratic, intentionally moral future.

Beyond the obvious disgust, I just think of how much money trans folks I know have spent, given directly to some of these ghouls, at Cons over the years and they still were happy to throw them to the wind for Audible coin. Really beggars belief.

Something about the world building of ALIEN I’ve always liked is that we’re never going to have a direct political story because the corporations have won. There is no such thing as a popular, liberty-based uprising, it doesn’t exist. It’s why the allegories work.

There are no happier days in my husband’s life than box delivery day. But today’s was legit legit.

Speaker of the House lied, directly to camera. Grow up.

The fact that, as a historian, she feels the need to aggrandize her subject and paper over his atrocities tells me she is a modern historian who wants to sell a book. :)

I’m almost certain it was “Nemesis”, as it was broadcast on the UPN channel. And yet I persisted. I started watching Star Trek when Netflix got it in 2012-2013 and spent the next 18 months watching 600+ episodes. Never looked back.

I stand by it

#SCOTUS all-but overruled a unanimous, 90-year-old precedent through an unexplained "administrative" stay this morning, and that's only the second-most-problematic thing it did before lunchtime.

"90% of conversations with a Federation Ambassador will leave you wondering if T'Kuvma had the right idea." - Lorna McClaren Federation and Empire prepare for the worst: one striving for peace, the other for survival. CHAPTER 11 OF THE EDGE OF MIDNIGHT: THE ARSENAL OF FREEDOM IS AVAILABLE NOW

This @washingtonpost.com editorial doesn’t make it past the second paragraph without a glaring (and telling) factual error. President Washington didn’t create the War Department in 1789; *Congress* did: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

“I wasn’t sure what number you wanted me to go with.” — Zuck, 100% pathetically bitch-made by a man who said he should be thrown in jail for life, appeasing an administration who says his wife’s family isn’t American, loving how RFK is dismantling every public health advancement that CZI ever made.

It should be clear that more than 30% of American voters could not accurately tell you who was President during the entire period of 2020. There was one President during this time. Everything that happened during that time happened under HIM. That's where we're at.

I feel like I’m living through the moment where the power in the family shifts and I’m well positioned to be matriarch-in-waiting. I’m taking advantage.

We need to relearn how to tell people they are dumb, and therefore, do not need to be listened to. Critically needed.

This was the second best episode of #SNW this season.

In the trenches this weekend (the library requests should be ready by Monday)

#CompareTrek T’Pol/T’Rina Both Vulcans integrate emotion into their lives as an additive quality to their Vulcan practices, not a rejection of Surak’s philosophy.

I'm so excited to share my latest ILM.com article, as it highlights Industrial Light & Magic's contributions to The Fantastic Four: First Steps! I spoke with ILM's Daniele Bigi, who offered some phenomenal insights into the film's visual effects. www.ilm.com/fantastic-fo...

Sending Love. #SuicidePreventionMonth

YES!! If this doesn’t tell me they have invented that 8th day of the week…

Meticulously researched? ✅ Obsessively speculative? ✅ Wouldn't you like to know every single named ASOIAF character Oberyn Martell may have met in his life? Look no further, friend: I also know a bit about Westeros. The Many Meetings of Oberyn Martell nascentnovice.com/2025/09/02/t...

Thank you to artist mylochka for letting me include this delightful image of T'Pau in the late 22nd c. in the finished work. The expression is -exactly- how I picture her post-Minister career. Check out this and more of mylochka's work here: www.deviantart.com/mylochka/gal...
