Feels poignant.

You asked! We listened! The 20-minute long "Marrone cut" of STO's Enterprise documentary is live now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhGj...

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

To Boldly Go… (2017) 🖖🏻 - #startrek #ussenterprise #Procreate #illustration #startrekart

Did you know you can just watch a Star Trek? Whenever you want? You can just turn on a Star Trek and feel good all the time. There is infinite Star Trek and if you know how to use the internet it's free, and it's like taking your brain to a brain spa. I forget this sometimes but I remember now.

While Starfleet serves the purpose of protecting the Federation from enemies both foreign and domestic and can function as the military force for the Federation state, its founding purpose was to seek out new life and new civilizations; which is an deeply important distinction.

One of the best things Star Trek: Enterprise did was subtly show that Starfleet began more as a NASA-style organization than reflective of the US military. We don't talk about that enough I think; and how the MACOs, like the War College in Starfleet Academy, are about showing what Starfleet ISN'T.

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video platform Sora after it flopped Disney is now exiting their $1B deal with OpenAI

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I was super honored to get to come back for Zine O' Biology Volume 2! 💚 This was made as a companion piece to an essay by AlternateFutures about the importance of telepathic bonds for vulcan newborns <3 Check it out here: zine-obiology.itch.io/vol-2 #startrek #startrektos

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

We had a fun session for Star Trek Adventures campaign. We’re nearing the end and I wanted to have a fun session that highlighted how far the crew had come. One of our players sketched up the outfits for the crew’s masquerade ball. @fyerfly.bsky.social

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work! I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

Captains of the enterprise series - Archer next obvs :D

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Three faces that have been in my mind all month, and will likely never leave—and sadly, there will likely be more. People need to start thinking really hard about what’s going on, and as an artist there’s a lot we can do. Abolish ICE!!!

so don't get too comfortable. #art

It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words. If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?

Fuck ICE.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

Finished is better than terrible #oldknees

I was asked for a quote about San Diego Comic-Con banning AI art:

🚨”If everyone who came before me had just complied and complied and complied, then I probably would have entered this theater, any theater, through a colored section. Every good thing you have in your life is a product of someone else’s struggle.” ~ Josh Johnson Message: Do Not Comply

captain tendi you say

Star Trek has always been political. On The Lieutenant, Gene Roddenberry's series before Trek, scripts on racial bigotry and the inhumanity of warfare met network censorship. GR designed ST to use s-f allegory to tell stories that wouldn't otherwise be allowed on network TV.

‘I always say, the film is the thing. The film is the thing. It’s the film, the language of cinema. You work so hard & the second it’s finished, people want you to change it back into words.’ - David Lynch

Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY! Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day. Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

The nutjobs are coming out of the woodwork with a new Star Trek show with a diverse cast coming out this week. It's fucking hilarious to see them complaining about DEI in Trek when its creator literally said the following:

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

WHAT IF the Enterprise line had continued in the form factor of the original NX?

My old friend, @twopancakes.com, put something cool out into the world. It’s always awesome holding something someone you know created. I can’t wait to play it with my group.

If you have enjoyed #Wolf359OnThisDay don't forget you can read the entire book right now for free at wolf359project.com. I will continue to post events through to the end of Best of Both Worlds

Rang in the new year playing some Magic the Gathering with friends. My new Jurassic Park Commander deck worked out well.

Getting into Star Trek Enterprise again and hitting the heartbreak of there being nothing more after season 4 - are the books any good does anyone know? #startrekenterprise

Some of my Star Trek based art. Enjoy. #scifiart #scifi #fanart #startrek

I had a blast playing Commander last night with @vorpalgazebo.bsky.social and teaching a family member how to play with us.

Just once I'd love to see one of these people internalize criticisms and come back recognizing that they were wrong I dunno, I just think it'd be nice

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...
