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! 🥰🖖🏼
Every day I’m grateful that I’m pouring my heart into caring for animals and the elderly instead of investing all of my emotional labor into a man who wouldn’t care if I died 🙌🏼

Funny how the same people who will always show up with “mind your own business” “keep your opinions to yourself” and “this is my page, don’t comment on it” are the most judgemental, shaming of them all.

A former client of mine shared some transphobic bullshit from Gays Against Groomers and I couldn’t let it slide. Her response was that the person was “entitled to their belief” as I am mine. Reminder - your children are safer with trans people than male teachers - and men in general.

I love Star Trek, but I don’t love the idea of Star Trek influenced by Ellison.

A family member in Kentucky recently signed up for the National Guard to “fulfill a lifetime dream” and I still haven’t moved past my feelings of anger and betrayal. (The man is in his 40’s, by the way.)

America has the highest health care costs of any developed nation. And the poorest life expectancy, by far. We are victims of the deadly for-profit healthcare and insurance industries who don't care if you suffer and die prematurely, as long as they make obscene profits.

Fandom as we know it exists today because of female Star Trek fans. It’s just so frustrating to have women’s roles in sci-fi history denied, because it extends well beyond fandom and creates the perception that women haven’t contributed as much to society at large as men, which is violent erasure

This is amazing. My grandmother was a Star Trek fan and went to conventions in the 80s and 90s.
When she visited, she kept her Star Trek novels on her nightstand with the family Bible.
