A warrior is not defined by the fights they have won, but by what they fight for. Stand for those less privileged, stand for the powerless, stand with your neighbors, stand for those who will come after you. Stand for honor, or you stand for nothing at all, and are worth even less.

This is my 30th year as a journalist.
But I still continue to be shocked daily at the extent to which these same 'news'papers revel in wilful misinformation in order to relentlessly promote the ideology/interests of their senior editors and owners.
An utter disregard and contempt for their readers

In an officer debrief of the day's Betazed negotations regarding rejoining the Federation. It's obvious to us that youth voice and empowerment is going to be critical, and very pleased that Chancellor Ake wants to put cadets front and centre. I'm hopeful! - CmdrKM #StarfleetAcademy

#DidYouKnow Betazed’s Loneel Valley isn’t just a dormant caldera — it’s a geological ghost zone? 🌋 Rich in fistrium, a sensor-scattering mineral that shielded the resistance during Dominion occupation in the late 24th century. A feature that still disrupts orbital scans today. #StarfleetAcademy

A delegation from planet Betazed is heading to #StarfleetAcademy to negoitate rejoining the Federation. This is exceptionally exciting! It was a key member for centuries until The Burn, a hub of exogeopolitics, trade and strategic importance. Cadets - brush up! memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Betazed
Betazed
Betazed was an inhabited Class M planet in the Beta Zeta system. This planet was located inside Betazoid space in the Alpha Quadrant. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds") This was the homeworld of the Betazoid...

I really hope someone finds these more niche flag designs and actually wants one.. I expect the more common flags will eventually cover the losses on the less common ones anyway but even one person buying the niche ones will make it feel properly worth it
New pins are up on my etsy! They're a little more straightforward than my usual designs but I wanted to focus on minority flags that are harder to find as high quality pins.
As always, all sales help support my transition costs so any boost is massively appreciated 🏳️⚧️ canopyrobin.etsy.com

What a week! Watching Athena decend through the clouds over the Bay, to rest on the Academy Grounds is a sight I will never forget. And then to stand in the Sato Atrium to hear Chancellor Ake's opening speech... 🥲 Well.. head's up cadets... I do wear emotions on my sleeve! - CmdrKM #StarfleetAcademy

You want to know how close to home this is? My partner is from the Twin Cities. Dad-in-law still lives there. I recognise these streets. *Years* ago I said this was coming… This *will* come to the UK if we cont. our fascist slide. What would you have done in 1930’s Germany? You’re doing it now.

While it’s nice of folks to be liking and reposting… why not be brave, go one step further, and also reply with a #GeogQOverABrew? What would you like to ask Omar? I’ll put it to him during our #CoffeeGeogPod chat tomorrow ☺️
I'm so excited to chat to @mathchaos.bsky.social on Thursday for #CoffeeGeogPod! He is a Mexican palaeobiologist working on dinosaur evolution and phylogenetics, and an advocate for decolonisation in palaeo and STEM.

Labour is the UK’s slide, Reform will be over the cliff edge…
The govt has launched a new TikTok that shows videos of people being handcuffed, bundled into police cars and frogmarched into detention centres. Why? It's a cruel, desperate bid for attention from a government failing to actually improve people's lives

Writing for HuffPost UK, Green Party MP Carla Denyer said it was a "gross dereliction of duty" and simply unforgivable".
