The magazine also reveals the class designation of the ship that was formerly called "Archer-type" at Memory Alpha and EAS: the USS Archer is a Gral class ship, named after Ambassador Gral from #StarTrekENT's "Babel One" and "United". :-) 2/2

I'm calling this research (I will be taking no further questions at this time) Now playing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wac...

Post your favourite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

Very me

Starfleet HQ clerk filing Kirk's logs. "And the evil energy being was defeated by... the power of friendship?"

Not enough Shran and Archer content. Adding a chapter called, “My Funny Valentine.”

I submit writing fic in #StarTrek and #StarWars is being conversationally bilingual. Because this is correct in one and very wrong in the other

The Romulans are coming... so chuffed to be asked to work on this with @intheraptorsclaws.bsky.social #startrek #fanfiction

Thanks, Ben! Again, this is where I think the breaks from beta canon are really helpful. For exampele, I like the idea of the Devastation of Coridan, but it makes way more sense to me as a late-war desperation move than something that happens early on.

Earth-Romulan War is back, y'all The way PJ has truly (for the first time) made this conflict into something that is still scarring folks on Kirk's Enterprise is masterful and this chapter contains several reasons why.

Big news! As we close in on the final chapters, I’m happy to report we have a front cover for the eventual pdf version. Huge thanks to @steillustrates.bsky.social for his amazing job

Me, a few months ago, workshopping who my beloved SAN FRANCISCO, 2161 characters would be supporting in the 2184 election.

"For the first time in the election of the President of the Federation Council, active campaigning and news coverage seemed to actually matter. More so than any other election, this one was fought in earnest. The Era of Harmonious Feelings, if there ever was such a time, was officially at an end.”

Who cares about supreme courts? Michigan —Dems swept 2 seats in 2024, went from 4-3 to 5-2. A GOP justice retired this yr, so now 6-1. Wisconsin —Dems flipped court, 3-4 to 4-3, in 2023. Defended edge last April. Can expand it next April. Pennsylvania —Dems defended 5-2 majority on Tuesday. via

Gotham City mayors; more realistic than you’d think

"For the first time, campaigning, surrogates, focus groups, strategic outreach, etc., seemed to actually matter. More so than any of the other elections, this one was fought in earnest. The Era of Harmonious Feelings, if there ever was such a time, was officially at an end."- Ch. 2 buff.ly/OI7wicl

D.C. doesn't have statehood. We don't have voting representation in Congress. We have limited home rule that can be taken away any time. When Trump oppresses us, we have few democratic means of fighting back. Juries are one of them. And Trump can't take that away. slate.com/news-and-pol...

"In his most-watched interview, Archer talked about his icons in the early UFP, incl. Thimur Wross. He quoted a truism when thinking about political power: 'to show up is to matter.' It certainly had to Archer." "Ch. 2: To Show Up is to Matter is now available. nascentnovice.com/the-last-fou...

“He was widely known and liked around the UFP, and his term in Orbis was seen as a triumph. On the homeworlds of smaller states & colonies, his efforts were seen as an attempt to center the needs of these often overlooked worlds. In a sense, he was an ideal candidate for a Federation-wide election."

"More talkative and effusive than many, and certainly more than her mentors T’Pau and T’Maran, T'Pali had been called the “smiling face of Vulcan” by those outside her homeworld. It was this unorthodox personality that had endeared her across the UFP in these smaller, pacifist constituencies."

"If Jonathan’s candidacy was playing to the foundation of the UFP, Besh had the actual authors of the conference and charter surrounding her. If there was a need for change, her detailed policy, positions slowly released over the next week made it clear she had a specific vision. The race was on."

"Indeed, Manudae had their eye on a higher office for nearly a century before the founding of the UFP. They spent most of the year on Earth in 2184, but the virtual lectures became nearly ubiquitous. For many non-politically active groups around the UFP, perhaps the 4th time might be the charm."

hell yeah

The 2184 election heats up this Friday. Ch. 2: To Show Up is to Matter will be dropping Nov. 7th (oh look, the day of the 2184 election, ain't that neat?)

Settling in for a quiet Sunday evening? Why not brew yourself a cup of tea and sit down with No Longer Alone - Chapter 4 - Project Pathfinder! Available now on our website: pathfinderproject.website/no-longer-al... Or in PDF format via the @tranquilitypress.bsky.social Discord. #StarTrek

"The biography of Archer will happen in the book because we've seen his core values, his beliefs, in Enterprise. This is more about exploring what happens when he gets to the end of exploring." Support the TranqPress patreon to learn more. I do.

Critical, longform analysis: She’s got a banger here.

Posting these again - cos theyre spooky and its spooky day - or pumpkin spice day whichever it is you celebrate 🎃 Some lovecraftian inspired Star Trek horror dream sequences for the everso awesome @wolf359project.bsky.social #startrek #horror #halloween

The lads and me brainstorming (I've said something quite funny)

Living in Wisconsin during the Scott Walker era inoculated me from ever buying a single Republican lie about the budget or education or job creation or whatever else ever again. And I do think the USA will get there too after all this, but the stakes are orders of magnitude more dire in the interim.

Deep in research for some early 2026 chapters; what I'm reading: - Castles of Steel, Robert K. Massie - The Civil War of 1812, Alan Taylor - Friends Divided, Gordon S. Wood - The Republic for Which it Stands, Richard White (it's a biggie) Some ol' @tranquilitypress.bsky.social standards here

The Membership Commissioner Selina “Lina” Gutierrez of Terra Nova was as important as the Foreign Affairs Commissioner Vaneel of Denobula. Though their warm public collaboration masked an internal rivalry known only to those inside Le Palais. Put bluntly, “oh they [redacted] loathed each other.”

In President sh’Rothress' day, the institution that had once boasted as many as thirteen committees had been whittled down to nine. These were Foreign Affairs, Defense, Commerce, Interplanetary Affairs, Science, Standards, Education, Justice, and Membership. 🎨 credit: @crowlls.bsky.social

WIP of something for no reason whatsoever :D Daily life on the early D #startrektng #startrekfanart #wip

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. RFK Jr. must resign.

When he joined the band on stage to drum out a surprisingly competent performance on the marimba to their last big hit, “Isn’t that Serendipitous?”, the crowd went wild, and his encore performance was widely reported the next day. nascentnovice.com/the-last-fou...

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future. (2-3 years away, if we're being honest)

Chapter Five: The Unification Crisis As the empire tries to recover from its devasting war with the Borg the Senate embarks on a long lost dream: to finally unify the Vulcanoid peoples.

“Though celebrity does ebb and flow; Jonathan seemed to always know when to deploy either tide.” Chapter One of THE LAST FOUNDER is available. nascentnovice.com/the-last-fou...

How does one -not- run for President? Ch. 1: "Défenseurs de l’indépendance planétaire, méfiez-vous!” drops tomorrow.

My husband, for work, will be in a room with PM Albanese today, and we spent most of last night working on how he wouldn't do the Kath and Kim voice when speaking. I do realize I am the problem, as I use it two or three times a week in the house.

I've just been shown some artwork from @intheraptorsclaws.bsky.social and it's -sooo- good. The story is heading towards its fantastic conclusion; you can always catch up or get started reading today at intheraptorsclaws.wordpress.com

Resist. Resist today. Resist tomorrow.

My typical writing playlist is mostly TV/movie scores: I can't write when someone is talking/singing. Dropping the OST: - Rings of Power - Harlots - The Duchess - Poldark - The Kingdom - Anna Karenina (2012) - Black Sails - Pride and Prejudice (2005) That's a full workday.

If you're looking to do a #shortTrek about someone in this era, come talk to me about Sally Archer.

"Trumpism will persist as the dominant feature of Republican politics at least to 2028 and almost certainly to 2032. We’re talking about a full generation of Republicans who *only* understand politics in the context of an authoritarian project."
