Hey Stardusts! While I'm known for space sci-comm, that is work I do because at its heart is a love for our planet and the life on it. In my other life I run a small non-profit called Esther's Echo that supports a school started by Sierra Leone local community leader Esther Kanu. 1/2

I'm really excited about this episode, Stardusts! It is a continuation of an awesome conversation catalyzed by the incredible @chanda.blacksky.app that began IRL at the STLV TREKtivism panel. We talk about how The #StarTrek future is fundamentally incompatible with capitalism.

We continue a conversation started during our Trektivism panel at STLV and cover a myriad of subjects including socialism, capitalism, and how to have hard conversations about those topics, all while building and relying on community. Thanks @chanda.blacksky.app for another stellar discussion 🖤
