Hi all! I'm Esmerelda (sometimes Della for short). I talk a lot about Star Trek and being trans, and sometimes other nerdy/queer stuff too.
Plus sometimes i'll post selfies or pics of the arts and crafts i do.
If you follow me and i can't immediately tell you're a real human, i'll block you. 💛

Guess who posted this 5 hours ago and still hasn't had dinner yet?
There's now a little Lura Thok living in my head to shout at me when i hyperfixate and forget to eat.

The most useful thing you can do is just make comics. Editors want people who can finish things, so if you can prove that you can do that, you're already ahead of the pack.
What advice would you give an aspiring comic creator? - 🦝

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Just want to mention something, as someone who lives only blocks away from this morning’s tragedy:
If you think posting something cute, good, funny, wholesome, or otherwise irrelevant is a bad idea because of the moment, don’t be.
It is incredibly important to ease spirits and make people smile.

You'll never guess which inconceivably nerdy and sexy trans girl is once again all caught up and has seen every single released episode of Star Trek thanks to some incredible generosity from a fantastic friend.
And you know what?
I'm REALLY enjoying Starfleet Academy. 💛

“This country would not exist if Black women had not birthed it from their wombs on the blood-soaked earth of Native people. Enslavement, lynching, Jim Crow, genocide, the prison industrial complex aren’t footnotes in American history. They’re the main text. Trump isn’t some un-American aberration.“
