A family member in Kentucky recently signed up for the National Guard to “fulfill a lifetime dream” and I still haven’t moved past my feelings of anger and betrayal. (The man is in his 40’s, by the way.)

America has the highest health care costs of any developed nation. And the poorest life expectancy, by far. We are victims of the deadly for-profit healthcare and insurance industries who don't care if you suffer and die prematurely, as long as they make obscene profits.

🦋! The Live Show Tuesday at 9:30 PM EST! We honor the life, light, and legacy of Subrina Wood — our beloved co-host, friend, and true force in the sci-fi community. 🚀

Fandom as we know it exists today because of female Star Trek fans. It’s just so frustrating to have women’s roles in sci-fi history denied, because it extends well beyond fandom and creates the perception that women haven’t contributed as much to society at large as men, which is violent erasure

New PFP 🫶🏼

This is amazing. My grandmother was a Star Trek fan and went to conventions in the 80s and 90s. When she visited, she kept her Star Trek novels on her nightstand with the family Bible. #StarTrek #Trekkie

My mom and her mom were Trekkies before me. Women have always been part of Star Trek fandom 🖖

I see Star Trek fan discourse is happening again. The OG Trek fan in my family was my *grandmother* who tuned in to TOS because she knew @georgetakei.bsky.social 's family from the internment camp in Arkansas. People trying to rewrite history out here.

I've literally sat down with Bjo Trimble, the woman who helped save Star Trek. Fuck off with your 'only men are Star Trek fans' nonsense. Also Bjo is a legend, and John was awesome too :) #StarTrek #WomenInTrek

Appreciation post for all the men speaking up about their mothers, sisters, and other women who influenced their love of Star Trek. Allyship is essential, especially as misogyny is on the rise worldwide. Please keep it up - and stand up for women in person, too. Thank you 🫶🏼🖖🏼

My mom got me into Trek when I was a kid and most Trek fans I know/ encounter are women. And the lead of my Star Trek show was a woman, as was the captain of the ship. So shut the fuck up.

Joining the collective of my fellow Trekkies and creatives from #StarTrek in saying that, if you think the franchise is just for straight, white, neurotypical, American men, you’ve seriously been missing so much about it all. From a gay, Autistic, British Trekkie who’s been one since 8 years old.🖖

For what it's worth, my sister is the one who introduced me to Star Trek, and many of the friends I've made in this fandom are women.

Yowling out to @ohcatrina.bsky.social and @heatherraebarker.bsky.social for today's Women Who Love Star Trek timeline cleanse 😸🖖🏻💜 (if you'll excuse me, I'll be off to cleanse the alternate timelines as well)

ICYMI Online hatred doesn’t stay online and women often bear the brunt. @milleridriss.bsky.social & @emmakennedy.bsky.social discuss how toxic masculinity, digital radicalisation, and white supremacist ideas became so entangled and what we can do to combat them 👉 linktr.ee/bunker_pod

Next week, on October 30th at 6:00 pm EDT, join @carleton.ca in welcoming @milleridriss.bsky.social for a discussion of her book, Man Up, and the explosive rise of misogyny driving mass and far-right violence. This event is free and open to the public. Learn more here: hubs.ly/Q03PYNM40

Muting “GFR”

Speaking of Trek fandom: I went to Star Trek Las Vegas in 2016. Beyond had just come out so I was trying to pose like Jaylah on the Captain's chair. (The last time I went to STLV)

I don’t dress up often for Halloween but since becoming a Trekkie I’ve wanted to wear the uniform so bad so I did and it was great 😎

I performed in improvised parodies of TOS for 9 years, appearing at comic conventions and on SyFy Wire. I also moderated the 2010 Emerald City Comicon panel with Leonard Nimoy, who was amazing. I grew up with TNG, but developed appreciation for TOS after “These Are The Voyages” #startrek #trekkie 🖖

Me and my space moms

My mum (now 73) once put out a lonleyhearts in a Star Trek magazine. My dad responded. So without women in Star Trek fandom I literally WOULDNT EXIST #startrek

Since we are talking Trek I come to my fandom through my mom who wouldn't go one dates till after the Original Series episode was over each week in the 60s

My favorite part of my Cool Trek Girl look is that the blue trim on my Fluevogs match the sleeves perfectly. #StarTrek

LLAP! 🖖 As a woman, I’ve written five articles for StarTrekdotcom, including this one: rachelduchak.com/2023/11/01/e...

Ok my turn!!! Hot babes indeed do love Star Trek. I’m living proof, I created and all Black mostly women lead StarTrek podcast. I’m Shenikwa, a die hard Trekkie. Don’t believe me? He’s an article in Gizmodo that mentions me: gizmodo.com/fans-open-up...

Trekkie since childhood. Introduced to Trek by my mother.

Old pictures but yeah I'm a star trek

Me and my wife in matching field jackets:

i’ve appeared on comic panels in my Trek uniforms to talk Trek met my wife writing Trek fanfic, we had a Trek vow renewal with Trek centerpieces and guest book and guest favors and a Klingon wedding ceremony oh and we also write Voyager Homecoming and consulted on Prodigy you MIGHT say I’m a fan

p.s. more babes who smash the narrative of "only conservative men like star trek" should totally post cool photos of themselves and their friends doing cool trek things, because if nothing else, it'll bring this skyline some needed joy and beauty <3

Let's see how incel Trekbros handle a Section 31 girl 😼

Loving the call for visibility in response to erasure. Here are four photos representing some of my involvement in Trek fandom, from Trektivism panels to leading the STLV LGBTQIA+ Annual Photo Op and participating on the Trek Talks team that’s helped raise almost half a million dollars for HoFoCo 🖖🏼

All I see when you post articles from incel websites writing clickbait about Star Trek

This is a big reason I don’t post here anymore. Also, Megan’s reminding us why some parts of that article shouldn’t be ignored. Instead of claiming more Trek fans are liberal, maybe push back against the real harm happening to women, nonbinary and trans fans due to incel culture in fandom.

New post! First of five in a series on using fandom as a tool in activism. Presented with @allegrosolutionsllc.com and @ajoconnell.bsky.social

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

This what democracy looks like #nokings www.bbc.com/news/article...

"I have been... and always shall be... your friend."

Heartbroken by the loss of Subrina Wood. She made an immense mark on Star Trek fandom, whether through her podcasting career with SyFySistas or through her simple kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity of spirit among friends. Subrina embodied IDIC and will be deeply missed.

"In the images of the area, even the sunlight looks different and otherworldly. I couldn’t figure out why, until I realised it was because there were no structures to filter it. No shade, no shadows. A home returned to is just a plot on which to pitch another tent and wait for aid."

From the memory hole: There was a hostage release and ceasefire deal in place by the Biden administration 10 months ago. It was allowed to expire in March, under Donald Trump, and now it's been revived and rebranded, with Donald taking full credit like always.

Well here‘s one blast from the past. That’s definitely one of the first drawings I ever posted anywhere online lol. Those were my big Tumblr years. Where did time go…

One of my besties made me #EdgeOfSpaceTime earrings 😭😭 And has launched sales of #StarTrek earrings. Look at the Culber and Stamets pair she made me 😻😻 Shop her store here: www.etsy.com/shop/LeenIsa... And don’t forget to preorder The Edge of Space-Time: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

Someone’s cologne smells like a hamster cage. I hope someone tells them. (I won’t tell a stranger they smell like wood shavings. That’s rude. I’ll just tell you so I can soothe my sensory distress.)
