I’m at the Creation Star Trek: Orlando convention and this morning a mother told Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd that her small daughters got HER into Star Trek - little girls watching and looking up to the women of Star Trek, recruiting their mothers into fandom. How we’ve come full circle! 🥰🖖🏼

It is, and the fact that this administration has cut funds to cancer research is beyond reproach.

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.

With heavy hearts, we share that our dear friend, sister, and fellow podcaster, Subrina Wood of the SyFy Sistas, has passed away after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year. Her laughter, light, and love for fandom will never be forgotten. 💜🖖

"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."

While the perpetrators of Gaza’s genocide pose as its saviours, survivors return home – to a wasteland | Nesrine Malik

Western leaders attending the Sharm el-Sheikh summit have enabled and sponsored this slaughter. They are in no position to build a Palestinian future, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

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.

I love Sue. There’s a replica here at Disneyworld in Animal Kingdom, but they’re closing the ride she’s associated with. I hope they keep her.
