Building a new model for the first time in forever... and it's tiny! I don't have the paints I need at the moment, but I'm looking forward to painting it and giving it some heavy weathering. This is actually my first Millennium Falcon, too! #StarWars #scalemodel

Catching up on these protests today—hearing over 1 million people showed up in 50 states. Hell of a thing. We need a strong defense in Washington and in state governments to slow and stop what we can—and a stronger offense in the streets to keep the heat on. Keep making your voice heard.

Coming next TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2025 from Gallery Books: =new trade paperback edition= STAR TREK: PICARD – FIREWALL — the Scribe Award-winning, queernormative tale of Seven of Nine finding her identity & her first great Sapphic love with the Fenris Rangers. davidmack.pro/writing/fire...

I remember the early 2000s, and absolutely hating George W. Bush. However, for all of his (many) faults, I still believe that one could sit down with him and use the right words to make him understand an issue. To have compassion. To use whatever magic words to make him care about something. (1/2)

How can you even call yourself a #StarTrek fan if you don't know what a bilateral kelilactiral is?

Working on this week's #StarTrek update video. The US is attacking Canada economically & my video advertises a Star Trek event @ Universal. Definitely feel like I shouldn't be doing free advertising for an event in a country that's trying to bring down my country economically. I hate ALL of this.

Klingons and Romulans. No Vulcans, though. However, they do end up playing baseball two episodes after this one. #StarTrek #DS9 #podcast spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/hCiXaZlssQb

Comics I read in January. A few months back I started reading #comics. Why did I do this in my 40s when I never really read them as a kid? I dunno, some kind of midlife crisis? Cheaper than a Porsche, I guess! (Though, not as much cheaper as I would like!) #Marvel #idw #dc

Use a Star Trek GIF to describe how you feel.

Often seen as weakness, actually signs of strength: - Empathy - Kindness - Willingness to re-examine one's point of view Watch the behavior & actions of people around you through this lens. I believe this is a fundamental difference between people that causes most of the divisions in our society.

I feel like everyone needs to watch #Babylon5, and pay special attention to the gradual lean of EarthGov towards fascism. It feels very relevant today (for some reason).

This letter was sent to employees of NASA today. Reportedly, identical letters have been sent to all US federal government employees across multiple agencies. This is dark.
