🖖NEW EPISODE🖖 @averykaplan.bsky.social & @rebeccaoliver.bsky.social return to close out Fighting the System Month with “The Outcast,” an episode of TNG that has accidentally become a trans allegory. As the Enterprise crew tells us: trans rights are human rights! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Early voting is now possible throughout the country. Most crowded I’ve ever seen my local polling place on an early voting day. Which is a good sign. Turn out. Stand up. Please vote like our lives depend on it. Because they do.

I got waaaaay up in my feelings to write about one of my favorite prose series of all time, which concludes this month with DARK READING MATTER, a book that pits the heroic Thursday Next against her most evil antagonist yet: AI!

the sound that this alien probe makes in Star Trek IV? literally Leonard Nimoy going “wub wub wub wub” into a microphone

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Unfortunately there are people who care about trans people having rights who are not trans people themselves and I’m sure that the number will suddenly grow exponentially post election when candidates have lost and you’re looking for someone to blame that isn’t the candidates themselves

Written during the show’s first season, one of my first articles on Star Trek: Prodigy has been reposted @trashkittycomics.bsky.social. It’s really a shame this show didn’t get more episodes, but the 40 we did get are incredibly good.

pssst fellow writers, c’mere a sec stop putting JKR/HP references in your scripts!! every trans person is gonna wonder if you don’t know JKR uses her billions to try to end us or if you AGREE with it and either way you’re gonna make us feel like crap there’re so many other things to reference!

GORN MONSTERS bring out THE WRATH OF LA’AN in the fourth episode of SNW! What did you think of this one? I think it’s in the top third of SNW eps!

This one is near and dear to my heart. It’s about grief as it relates to child loss and infertility — and how Scarlet Witch helped me comprehend the pain of what I was going through.

WandaVision and Agatha All Along are my top 2 MCU things and if VisionQuest is a worthy conclusion to the trilogy…!!
