hello new followers! 🖖 we're behind with shows, but we've been trying to stay afloat, surviving capitalism while busy with all the things that take us away from this passion project! BUT we will be back! for those new to RIF: we have 3 episodes up! @ayoub.bsky.social & @joyfulcarla.bsky.social

With the words given to us by wonderful folks, we formed a poem, written in multiple voices, followed by a litany, a prayer for these times. Poetry knows more than we know, and in between the lines and voices, we hope you find somewhere to live and love 🌹 www.cawshinythings.com/this-is-how-...

happy - resistance is fertile - birthday #StarTrek 🖖💫 [September 1966 is carla's birth-date too. coincidence? no way!]

🐦‍⬛ @joyfulcarla.bsky.social has conversations with word-weaving poets, spoken word artists, and rappers—may their words inspire you to take up the pen and the Molotov! First one features writer, poet, artist & rapper extraordinaire, @timeraps.bsky.social ❤️‍🔥 www.cawshinythings.com/conversation...

normalize DIT (doing it together)

We’re stoked & grateful to have received a Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grant for our “When The Window Opens” project, a collaborative playing card & mapping game designed to inspire collective action. read more below! Congratulations to all the folks who received a grant - we're in awesome company!❤️‍🔥

Episode 2 is out! @ayoub.bsky.social sits down with the one and only @jessiegender.bsky.social to talk about the stories that fascism feels most. Crossover episode with @thefirethesetimes.com On all podcast apps and Patreon, for free @caw-shinythings.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/132408...

one of us has been on a Lower Decks binge-fest and will really try not to turn this pod into a pod about it, because it's friken AMAZING!!! 🖖

There are two days left to send us your musings on: How Do You Love, How Do We live? 💓 we cannot wait to share all your beautiful stories! 💓 www.cawshinythings.com/how-do-you-l...

Hi! we (@ayoub.bsky.social y.social & @joyfulcarla.bsky.social) did a 3rd episode, and it was pure joy! 🖖 Why? bcz there’s your usual hardcore trekkies & then there’s Romeo! @vagrantjourno.bsky.social sets the trekkie bar for us & we try to reach it but kinda fail! www.patreon.com/posts/3-fait...

Which Star Trek do you think is the least queer? And I don’t mean in terms of literal LGBTQ representation, I mean more in ethos. I’m curious for a possible video topic.

Star Trek Starfleet Academy is a Discovery spinoff that starts off with a ton of BIPOC and whose target audience is not millennial/Gen X white dudes - so of course it's getting a ton of reactionary hate. God damn, I'm so tired of these boring people with boring opinions.

One of the most fun things I've had the chance to do recently - eternal love to @ayoub.bsky.social and @thestartrekpod.bsky.social for having me on! Listen if you like Star Trek, leftism, and nerds who have read waaaay too much treklit 🖖 www.cawshinythings.com/faith-of-the...

Latest @thestartrekpod.bsky.social dropped, and I really enjoy listening to new voices (invited by @joyfulcarla.bsky.social and @ayoub.bsky.social) talking about their trek through politics. Waiting for them to invite @aoifemod.bsky.social and @colinmurray.bsky.social to talk radical law and NI.

nerd alert! 🖖

how do i join my local resistance cell

Solidarity with @thestartrekpod.bsky.social in this shitty moment.

Goodbye Paramount. I was only there for the Star Trek hookup, and I am 100 percent certain Major Kira would kick my ass if I stuck around with these cowards. This leaves us all with what you might call "the Orion route."

I was about to subscribe for new Trek…now I will not. Star Trek taught me it wouldn’t be right to support paramount/cbs right now. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."

It would make me so happy if Trekkies give them a massive headache for their decision to censor Colbert Maybe we’ll cover this on @thestartrekpod.bsky.social ! @joyfulcarla.bsky.social

uhm. what? #borg (we still know that Resistance is Fertile!) youtu.be/kXfAh50VBbI?...

LOVING the short stories and musings being sent in!! keep 'em coming! 🌹❤️‍🔥✍️

we are loving what folks are sending to us! (thanks!!) AND! we'd love to hear more! #HowDoYouLove #HowDoWeLive

You might even say “Resistance is Fertile” 😉 @thestartrekpod.bsky.social

This is amazing & this show is great! We got the opportunity to chat with @jessiegender.bsky.social on our podcast about a silly DS9 episode and it was a delight. Our reach is more limited, but definitely support Jessie & this new show, @thestartrekpod.bsky.social!

I’m on a 90s nostalgia podcast kick, and there are some great ones, but I’d have to say the first two episodes of @thestartrekpod.bsky.social take the cake this week 🥇🖖🏻

This is the podcast I have been wanting to make, but now I don’t have to! 😂 I am SO EXCITED for more— @thestartrekpod.bsky.social is using Star Trek as a text to exploring modern events through an anarchist lens & it’s BRILLIANT

It's out! Go listen to it Do it now On both Resistance is Fertile + The Fire These Times feeds

Your favorite podcasters' favorite podcast has launched.

Had an amazing convo with @ayoub.bsky.social to talk about fascism and how we tell stories of hope. Really loved this talk!

the murder is on a wee break(ish) this week, but here is a shiny thing for y'all! 🐦‍⬛ A fabulous episode of @thestartrekpod.bsky.social! The Stories Fascism Fears Most, featuring @jessiegender.bsky.social in conversation with @ayoub.bsky.social! www.cawshinythings.com/resistance-i...

such a great [email protected] and @jessiegender.bsky.social! I had soooo much fomo not being there for this fantastic conversation! @thestartrekpod.bsky.social will for sure want to have you back Jessie!! 🖖

What your day needs.

Definitely! Especially as O'Brien spoke so proudly of his family's Irish republican heritage

The many missed opportunities of DA9 holodeck episodes, prompted by @ayoub.bsky.social and Jessie Gender talking on @thestartrekpod.bsky.social. Seriously, I want an episode where Kira gets very impatient with Collins because she knows the many bad things the Irish state will do in the future.

Episode 2 is out! @ayoub.bsky.social sits down with the one and only @jessiegender.bsky.social to talk about the stories that fascism feels most. Crossover episode with @thefirethesetimes.com On all podcast apps and Patreon, for free @caw-shinythings.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/132408...

Shoutout to whoever does the posters for Star Trek Strange New Worlds because they easily have the best poster game in Star Trek since The Motion Picture.

resistance, it is fertile

such a fun time! and woah, there are trekkies, and then there's @vagrantjourno.bsky.social 🖖

We just had Ukrainian journo and massive Trekkie @vagrantjourno.bsky.social on! Stay tuned. @ayoub.bsky.social @joyfulcarla.bsky.social

@joyfulcarla.bsky.social I think we're gonna have to watch that and do an episode for @thestartrekpod.bsky.social

1. star trek helps me process the world & ignites my passion to do more! 2. during such a HARD year i haven't been able to do any of my podcasts so this is a BIG DEAL! 🤗 to @ayoub.bsky.social 3. we have so many fun ideas for future episodes🖖 check out #1! www.cawshinythings.com/resistance-i...

Besides Star Trek (check out @thestartrekpod.bsky.social y'all) and British comedy stuff most of my reference points these days are kids TV shows so if you need an expert on JoJo and Gran Gran I'm your guy www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdCW...
