Bringing back this banger of a message I sent to my husband

I can attest that @mikeoverton21.bsky.social is one of the nicest, most creative, and community-focused people that make up our online #StarTrek family.

We’re having real conversations over here. Salons, if you will. #StarTrek

Btw; just to break toxic fanboys brains: here is Gene Roddenberry literally saying he wished he had gay sex and wishing that he was nonbinary.

For today's post, I take a look at why #YouShouldWatch Resident Alien! One of the most unashamedly joy-filled, community-centered, comedy-drama shows on TV!

Why you should watch... Resident Alien A witty show, full of comedic chops & chemistry... a cosmic-scale mystery, with twists and turns that keep coming... an encapsulation and celebration of what a 'local community' can mean...

One can hope P+ change their mind, sell it to someone else, or give us a movie or two!

Again, it means more than I can put into words, but thank you from the bottom of my gay lil' Trekkie heart

It's not just lip service though, you and @jessiegender.bsky.social have both made me feel so welcomed in our wider-community, and absolutely are sources of great inspiration in trying my hand at more 'structured', 'review-adjacent' writing. You both set a very, very high bar!

This is high-f'ing-praise coming from you dude 🥹 You're gonna make a grown bitch cry 🖖

I'd also be incredibly remiss to not (once again!) thank @mikemcmahan.bsky.social for creating such a wonderful piece of media, and (as I highlighted in my writing above) gave me a mother-daughter bonding touchstone I can *never* thank him enough for.

I would be highly remiss without acknowledging the inspiration (and presence of their quotes in this post!) that @seanferrick.bsky.social & @jessiegender.bsky.social have been in my foray into writing these posts... you both have made me feel so welcome and seen, on here and the 'other/prior' site 🖖

In today's post, I talk about one of my favorite shows to air in the last 20 years... the show that my own daughter asks to see the most... and convey why you (yes you!) should watch #StarTrekLowerDecks

Why you should watch... Star Trek: Lower Decks A beloved sci-fi franchise, a show-runner who produced and wrote on Rick & Morty, and the nephew of the man that screamed at aliens while flying an F-18 into their spaceship... a recipe for gold...

Love these! Are they the 'full length' ones?

It’s truly so under-appreciated! It’s one of the ‘must watches’ I play for friends whenever we do Sci-Fi or Horror nights!

For today's post, I take look back at the high-camp (yet ever prescient & ever-green message) of the Sci-Fi/Horror movie... John Carpenter's "They Live (1988)"! #YouShouldWatch

Why you should watch... They Live A tale of campy-gravitas... inspired by the work of a prolific sci-fi author & inventor of the 'propeller beanie'... brought to life by the writer & director of many seminal sci-fi and horror films...

In today's post on #YouShouldWatch, I take a look at one of the 'darlings of the streaming age' that, despite its great critical success and unique story, falls victim to being under-promoted by its own outies...

Why you should watch... Severance United in severance, a story told with twice as many main characters as lead actors... a gripping, twisting thriller-series, with some of the best comedic timing on television, and prescient themes...

This is what happens to trans women placed in men's prisons. They are subjected to daily horrific rapes and used as human chattel to pacify aggressive and violent inmates. It's called v coding.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
