Attention Cadets: there may be a pop quiz on Deep Space Nine. Watch Gates McFadden & @tawnynewsome.bsky.social as they chat about the origin of Starfleet Academy's "Series Acclimation Mil" & praise our beloved Cirroc Lofton's reprisal of Jake Sisko. The Sisko would approve.

We've got a #MissionLogGeneology supplemental while we're on hiatus. @thelogbook.bsky.social & I talk a little about the hiatus, ways to stay up-to-date, & introduce this panel from the @TrekTalks.net telethon on Remembering Gene & Majel. #StarTrek @RoddenberryPod.bsky.social buff.ly/7NONvZR

Every day, quality food that might otherwise go to waste finds its way to neighbors in need through @hofoco.org's Community Exchange and Community Dinner programs. @trekgeeks.com @trekmovie.bsky.social @syfysistas.bsky.social @roddenberrypod.bsky.social @trektivism.bsky.social

Tune in for a discussion on jobs and training and how Starfleet can be driven by both inclination and obligation. Also, there’s a plug in there for the panel I moderated for @trektalks.net and Bryan’s observation on how Brannon Braga’s mellowed with time. 🖖🏼🫶🏼😉

The incomparable @4terryfarrell.bsky.social, providing wonderful advice for those who have not yet watched #DS9. (WHAT?!) The TrekTalks 5 panel about "Trials and Tribble-ations" discusses blending TOS and DS9, and we agree, it is fun and masterful!

We had SO much fun. 😊

ICYMI: The Trek Talks 5 "Being Vulcan" panel, when we were blown away by Gabrielle Ruiz singing "Happy Birthday" in Vulcan!! 🖖 Thanks to @ohtheprofanity.com for hosting!

So so special!! ❤️

Tawny Newsome shared the original idea for what became #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy's tribute to Captain Sisko and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine at @trektalks.net 5. 🖖

Our favorite Trek Talks moment was when @ewr.bsky.social offered a $31k match challenge.  A huge heartfelt thank you to all of YOU who accepted the challenge and raised almost $90K to support @hofoco.org!

TrekTalks 5 hosts John and @bonniebellg.bsky.social welcome us to the 'no pants' telethon, where it seems Bonnie is at a loss for words. 🤣

I'm having fun writing up the @trektalks.net panels; if you're enjoying them I hope you can spare a few bucks for @hofoco.org. Link in the article! Now go get some lovely memories of Gene & Majel from those who knew them. (Thank you @johnchampion.bsky.social perfect moderator. ❤️) bit.ly/gene-majel

Tony & I finally got caught up: We talked about Starfleet Academy not getting renewed 😢, all the nasty hubbub around SFA, and what it all means for Star Trek's immediate future, along with a happier look at @trektalks.net panels and the joys of uniting for a good cause. bit.ly/aapod256

Finally got me some @boldbubbles.com from @ohtheprofanity.com (inspired by her generous donation of a portion of the profits on 3/28 to @trektalks.net) and the soaps smell so good! Also: Moopsy! #LittleRiker approves.

Because of you, it all mattered. Thanks to our incredible donors, guests, volunteers, & everyone who showed up for Trek Talks 5. Your generosity, time, & passion made this community come alive in the best way. Together, we raised almost $90K in support of @hofoco.org & donations continue to come in.

If you're a Star Trek fan and you live in or near Palm Springs, CA, go to this talk with @fredbronson.bsky.social! We've had him on the podcast and he was part of @trektalks.net this year, and he has so many great, unheard stories. I'd go if I were there for sure.

Great interview by my pals at @trekgeeks.com! There's a link in the article to watch the interview (done for @trektalks.net to benefit @hofoco.org) in the article, which I highly recommend; there's lots more fun stuff there.

“I would always be asking for notes and saying things - that’s why I was fired - or let go - because I was always complaining about certain things that I felt were sexist or racist.” Gates McFadden, feminist and ally ✊🏼

"My internet is bad, but my heart is full." Tawny Newsome to Gates McFadden. This conversation is another @trektalks.net gem and I love how passionate Gates is about @hofoco.org. www.youtube.com/live/H-lcrAV...

We missed George Hawkins, but this was a historic #TrekTalks panel: the two youngest black actors in #StarTrek today speaking to the original young black actor in Star Trek. Love them all.

Thank you, Trektivists! What an awesome day.

The sale continues until 11:59 pm Pacific time, but now that we hit our goal, I feel like I can wind down now for the night. Tomorrow, I will work on making a final tally of soap bars sold and make the donation to @trektalks.net. Then, I will work on packing your orders! 😀

101. WE DID IT! Thank you all SO MUCH for helping us reach our goal of selling 100 bars in one day, and with time to spare! That means our donation will double, and so will the donation from our silent donor!

@kayhanley.bsky.social @tompolce.bsky.social having you both on @trektalks.net today was like having high school me and adult me high five! Thank you for helping us support @hofoco.org! And yes, please, consider this my formal request to write Melissa a song to perform at cons. She plays banjo! 🪕

@ohtheprofanity.com hosted one of the best #TrekTalk panels. Phenomenal job keeping it fun, lively, and - the coup de grace - Char made all 3 Vulcans laugh. 😂 I made Ethan Peck and Tim Russ laugh when I interviewed them. Making a Vulcan laugh should be a prerequisite for every interviewer 🖖

Even if you don't need an extra bar of soap right now, please help Bold Bubbles cross the finish line to reach 100!

91. WE ARE ALMOST THERE. Thank you, everyone, and if you can get us across to the finish line to 100, I'll be so grateful that I'll STFU about this for a full year! 🤣 Friends, please RT and spread the word in these final hours to get us across the finish line! Remember, donation DOUBLES at 100!
