Early founder of the Federation: Ifeoma Oha 🎨: @yumenosix.bsky.social In many ways, she was the first OC I created for San Fran, 2161, and so might be my favorite of my children (don't tell the others)

I’ve been on this good show since Day One. It has legitimately felt like they’ve been promoting Vampire Lestat for roughly 12 years so I am glad it’s finally starting.

Part of my personal 250th celebrations includes a rewatch of the 2005 miniseries John Adams, and I am happy to report, it still slaps. www.imdb.com/title/tt0472... (and if you see any similarities in THE LAST FOUNDER, no, you didn't)

If you're not yet following @cigaradd.bsky.social , it's about time. Absolutely wonderful artwork and a great commission process if you ever want a high-quality piece for yourself!

Seems like they were sending up a balloon that fell flat and can’t be bothered. A shame; there’s a lot of new stories that can be done with the franchise. I hope someone cares enough to do something with it.

Happy Pride! #trek #startrek

Romulan Kestrel-class Shuttle A Romulan equivalent to the Danube-class runabout that briefly appeared in In the Pale Moonlight. Somehow ended up being the most detailed and accurate model I've ever made! #startrek #startrekships #StarTrekDS9 #Treksky #blender #blender3d

The General War between Federation and Empire begins with fury on Mardikian, and posturing in deep space. CHAPTER 16b - DUCK AND COVER - OF THE EDGE OF MIDNIGHT IS AVAILABLE NOW

For my friends at @intheraptorsclaws.bsky.social. My favorite chapter.

The Alamo Drafthouse is playing the TOM KFC-Taco Bell-Pizza Hut marketing presentation video for franchisees before The Mandalorian & Grogu and I have been Activated

Republicans just called off the vote on a War Powers Resolution because they were afraid it would pass and Trump’s war of choice in Iran would be ended. This is absolutely ridiculous and a failure of leadership from the Republican Party.

ADMIRAL AAAAAAAAAAA /incoherent screaming/ #startrek #startrekprodigy

Got the Britbox for The Other Bennett Sister: watching it obsessively to catch up on the Gardener’s World I’ve missed since it left normal Amazon. A crucial pillar of my Covid mental health, that show.

And the rest of us are blessed for it.

This month on Worlds in Progress, we’re joined by legendary Star Trek model builder and designer @admiralbuck.bsky.social for a fascinating conversation about starships, storytelling, and the art of making Starfleet feel real.

Care to know more about THE LAST FOUNDER? Check out my interview with the fantastic Worlds in Progress Podcast here: open.spotify.com/episode/0TbY... Also; definitely follow the pod and support the patreon if you can!

Honored to be invited to have a conversation with Tranquility Press talking starships!

It's Season 5 and it's the first time they're starting to actually stumble in the scripts. That's an enormous achievement and to be consistently very good to exquisite for that long is a remarkable achievement.

As it turns out: N.K. Jemisin truly can turn anything into gold. Her versatility as a writer is astonishing, and very inspiring.

HUGE NEWS for the me population 😂

You have to see the whole collection; these are absolutely gorgeous.

Every single show in this 25-year-old promo has either been recently revived or never stopped airing

Every apparent solution to an existing crisis, sowing the seeds of the next...?

By the time the articles passed, the council & the political media ecosystem had moved on from Babel entirely. “This story had been on for 10 months, people had already written their book if they were going to, & looking for the next story.”     Ch 10 is live. nascentnovice.com/the-last-fou...

Those who signed the very UFP Charter reached out to their own networks to support this interlocking compromise that, should they all slide together, “would represent the greatest game of Tetris ever played.” Ch. 10: A Babelian Compromise arrives tomorrow. 🎨: @spaghettisauceress.bsky.social

This is all terrible for all the reasons but there is also the fact that the root factor here - people don't care what the truth is, they want the news that vindicates their viewpoint - is an insurmountable problem

A really good investigation that gets at a lot of thoughts I’ve had about the Supreme Court with the added benefit of some tangible actions steps we should all be taking if we ever want a feasible way out of this

I had some thoughts about the broader context of the modern SCOTUS, why it's out of control, and what we can try and do about it.

Watching a British import and needing subtitles :)

A spectacular take on the Vreenak Incident. Exquisite Romulan storytelling as we've become used to by @jawanaka.bsky.social #Trek #StarTrek

Chapter 7: Victory without Victors "But they [came] anyway, carrying the Raptor banner from liberated Benzar to the senseless slaughter of the Chin'Toka front all the way to Cardassia itself. And whatever else we might think of them, our lives today would not be possible if not for that sacrifice."

👀👀👀 This is so awesome #startrek

The clearest evidence that I’m back on my bullshit is editing Shakespeare.

Do you know how unfortunate it is that -this- gala is the first one the Heated Rivalry lads could attend? Poor bastards.

The way this image allowed Millenials to tether themselves to American civil life for another decade. There is a universe where this could be justice, not the just further corruption. #maythefourth

Astonished at how good this movie turned out (just bear the first clumsy 15 minutes)

Agree with all of this; a prerequisite for any kind of court reform (which is going to be a very long-term project) is inculcating a generation of Democratic politicians with instinctive contempt for the juristocracy and the entire edifice of the constitutional law-industrial complex.

It’s going to come across as radical, but we do need a generation of Dems who are happy to say, “The Supreme Court is illegitimate and openly corrupt.” That will need to become baseline if we don’t want the whole thing to blow up.

Still holding. (Avoiding all things by continuing to read excellent sci-fi)

Annoying everyone in my life by referring to Trader Joe’s as though it is a man’s eponymous little shop

Exquisite. I've loved Nathan's Star Wars work for some time now, you should check it out: archiveofourown.org/users/Empero...

Rihan does not have a sepate word for money. The word most commonally used, iæhhs, most clearly translates as wealth or asset and is the root for various adjectives such as wealthy (iæhhsemh). Early post-settlement Romulus had little use for a monetary economy and largely operated on barter/credit.

"Actual war is a very messy business. A very, very messy business." After five years of writing, the Edge of Midnight finally reaches the Organian War.

The extended Chapter 16 is really something to behold. Get started now: edgeofmidnight.weebly.com/chapter16a.h...
