As a #startrek fan I believe in celebrating the diversity of humankind. That’s why I am turning off Paramount and CBS.

Could you all do me a solid and please share this widely? The Flytrap continues to run at a loss. We founders/owners are paying freelancers—we budgeted for that with our Kickstarter funding—but not ourselves. We would like and deserve to be paid. Please help us get there so we can keep delivering

I had a moment of insight today after watching a few depressing YouTube videos: Relitigating the 2024 presidential election is pointless. It’s like second-guessing the roll of a die.
