I’m one of those crazy leftists. I also enjoy Star Trek. I’m an educator in cancer research. I’m also not THAT kind of doctor. (he/they) 🏳️‍🌈

I’m listening to @vermontgmg.bsky.social’s The Devil Reached Toward the Sky, which has a full cast — and it’s fun how many of the narrators of the various audiobooks to which I’ve listened this year are part of the cast. An audiobook who’s who. And an interesting book!

I’ve listened to 67 audiobooks so far this year already! My goal was just 24 (two per month) and I will likely make it to over 70. And many are wonderful Star Trek books! www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

The best relationship in Trek history.

And now I’m watching A Very Brady Christmas — on DVD, since it isn’t available to stream (even for purchase). And I adore it but damn, it’s corny as heck lol
I’m no professional decorator but this will be my third Christmas in my apartment and the first where I’ve felt like putting up my tree (here, in my bedroom). Very happy for a little bit of festiveness ❤️🎄

The people who made Dingeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves are connected to a completely original Star Trek script? This should be GREAT. trekmovie.com/2025/11/14/b...

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

Make sure to let your Democratic senators (like mine, @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov) know that Dem senate leadership MUST change!!!
Last night's so-called deal was a tragically disappointing result for the millions of Americans who are facing higher health care costs next year, and for our efforts to confront this bully of a President. I voted no.

Let's talk about where we go from here. youtu.be/Zc-sUG6myqE?...

I won’t be running for any office, but let me be clear: defund the police.

Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat running for the US Senate in Michigan, has quietly erased thousands of old social media posts — including a dozen tweets that championed the "defund the police" movement.

Medicare for all. UBI. Raise minimum wage. Rent subsidies. 0% APR first-time homeowner mortgages with no required down payment. Extend current PSLF rules to all federal student loans; make people eligible for current PSLF have $0 payments for their 10-years. Green new deal.

AOC should announce she's primarying Chuck Schumer ASAP. This is the time. Imagine the donations. I'd give them to her.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

His voicemail boxes are full, but I did send an email. However, Californians, please make sure to let @schiff.senate.gov know that we do not endorse any budget deal that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies! www.schiff.senate.gov/contact/

YOU GUYS! I was nervous as hell, but I did my first show last night for the new tour called “New Face New Tour” and it was my first time on stage in nine months and guess what?
THE AUDIENCE LAUGHED THE WHOLE SHOW! Thank you #Vegas 🙏😭❤️

I just finished listening to this audiobook and… it’s amazing. The most fun Star Trek book I can think of. And Ledger is my hero.

Director Bhattacharya "Let's fund emerging investigators"

Yeah, who's the idiot running NIH who allowed 15% or few fewer early stage investigators be funded in FY2025 compared to FY2024?
