We continue a conversation started during our Trektivism panel at STLV and cover a myriad of subjects including socialism, capitalism, and how to have hard conversations about those topics, all while building and relying on community. Thanks @chanda.blacksky.app for another stellar discussion 🖤

New Episode! Socialism, Star Trek, and Space with Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein Link in bio and at end of this thread 👇🏼

Anyway if you want to listen to something optimistic, there’s a new episode of @trektivism.bsky.social where I talk about why everyone should read The Communist Manifesto, especially Trekkies! #StarTrek 9a4b639a-c801-4706-b740-ef7b7ee752f7.libsyn.com/socialism-st...

Today the Supreme Court declined to revisit marriage equality. In a year when so many rights have been chipped away, this constitutional promise held... and millions of families can breathe a little easier. apnews.com/article/supr...

On Friday I proposed to @ohcatrina.bsky.social, and she said yes!! We are #engaged. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with someone who constantly inspires me, encourages me, entices me, and makes me laugh. We've had so many adventures so far and I know even greater ones are in store! 🧵

💜 No Live Show this week. We’re taking time to rest and celebrate Subrina. Watch her shine on CinnCine Goes SyFY — link for playlist below 🎥✨. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The whole crew grieves for the @syfysistas.bsky.social today. As Spock said, "There are always possibilities."

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

Atheist proselytizers are the religious proselytizers I’m most likely to come into contact with and they’re just as annoying as all of the other ones I experience

See you on @captainsquadrant.bsky.social!

Catch the panel this Saturday at 12:30 in the Paradox Pavilion. I will be joined by @ontarioklingon.bsky.social - @matthewcimone.bsky.social

Happy Star Trek Day! If we're going to get to that Star Trek future, we need to believe that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the 0.1% #StarTrekDay

I'm at Ottawa Comiccon this weekend Friday through Sunday, EY Center. Come by, say hi, and support the philosophy of pawraxis. #ottawacomiccon #comiccon

This was 2 decades of my life. Conspiratorial thinking, makes us vulnerable to manipulation - especially political manipulation as seen in the rise of Right Wing Christian Nationalism. Vid by @gmskeptic.bsky.social 1/5 youtu.be/LS6CNpSwpEs?...

On #labourday, I reflected on my role at our Planetarium as a Union Shop Steward. Our union plays such an important role in our workplace. Union membership has been in decline for decades - it's no surprise that power is being further concentrated into fewer people. Solidarity! #laborday #unions

Finally, our @trektivism.bsky.social panel is on Sunday at 9a on the Vic’s Lounge Stage. Bright and early, but we’re hoping this won’t stop y’all from joining us for an interactive discussion on how we can work to move society forward towards the future portrayed in Star Trek through volunteerism -

Turning your thoughts and feelings into positive action is what keeps good flowing in the world. If you'll be at #STLV, Trektivism is a great place to start.

See you at STLV!! Trektivism podcast hosts Matthew Cimone and Heather Rae Barker lead an interactive discussion, with you as audience members to share stories of volunteerism, activism, and acts of kindness that lead us towards the future depicted in Star Trek.

See you at the TREKtivism panel at #STLV! Sunday, August 10th, 9a Vic's Lounge Stage 🖖 Vegas!

I *STRONGLY* and full-throatedly endorse this declaration. That's why I signed it, and I hope you do too. NASA needs our help! 🔭🧪

A decade ago today, we made our closest approach of Pluto with the New Horizons mission. The probe was in transit for 9.5 years before arriving and is our only visit to the icy dwarf planet. This was one of the iconic images taken. Find more here: science.nasa.gov/image-detail... #space #astronomy

Well that was beautiful #Superman

If any of my scientist *mutuals* wants to write an op-ed for their newspaper about science but you’re not feeling confident about your writing skills, I will happily ghost co-write the piece with you. I’m fast, and I’m pretty good. And we need people making the case for science. 🧪⚛️🔭

Happy birthday to Rick Sternbach, production designer/illustrator for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. Chances are that if you love a Star Trek ship, he was one of the designers on it (as well as the PADD and the DS9 space station).

Happy Independence Day. No Kings!

We were honoured to speak with @breefram.bsky.social about her career as an engineer in Space Force, the heartbreak of being forced out of that career for being transgender, and of course her love of Star Trek in our latest #TREKtivism episode.

Speaking with Colonel Bree Fram was an emotional journey and is powerful evidence of the importance of representation - and the heartbreak of the Trump administration’s hateful ban on transgender people serving in the military. Please take the time to listen.
