I'm in the process of growing my Riker beard, and @cherrytreeinc.bsky.social was kind enough to provide the perfect mug for me to drink my raktijino out of as I relax on the Promenade β˜•οΈ Visit the link in their bio to check out all the cool stuff they have! πŸ––πŸ»

The most personal article I've ever written is featured on Star Trek dot com today. πŸ––πŸ» #MentalHealth #OCD www.startrek.com/news/how-sta...

Seeing Beru & Owen raising Luke meant so much to me as a child. It normalized the fact that I was being raised by my grandparents. I don't think the depth of that truly sank in until I was an adult, but it's one of the countless ways Star Wars impacted my life for the better. Happy #StarWars Day!

You'll never believe what my plans are tonight. πŸ€“

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

Another Friday night, watching TV with the dog and cats. I lead an exciting life πŸ˜‚

When I meet someone in person, I'm so focused on remembering my own name and not messing up the handshake that I tend to miss the part where they tell me THEIR name 😐

@aaronbossig.bsky.social That's just how older folks wear them πŸ˜ƒ

If Garak appeared in Star Wars, his Sith name would be Darth Insidious. Thank you for coming to my talk.

Every day, I take a break from the reality of the news to watch Star Trek. I call it Star Trek Hour. Lately, it has become more than an hour. πŸ––πŸ»

I've worked very hard to get where I am as a writer, but I've also been fortunate that so many people have been supportive along the way. Thanks for checking out my work, sharing my articles, and following along on my journey.

If you want to be depressed on a Saturday night, sign up for a dating app πŸ˜‚ I deleted it after 5 minutes and decided to watch some classic Captain Sisko episodes instead. I'm much happier now πŸ––πŸ»

So, the hotel gave me a paper with a QR Code to scan that will allow me to sign up for a digital parking permit. If you are going to give me a paper anyway, why not just give me a paper permit. I am old. πŸ˜‚

At what point in our lives do we figure everything out and actually feel like adults? Soon, right? ...right?

If you're a writer wondering if what you do is important -- this moment is all about the stories we tell about ourselves.

The more important something is to me, the easier it is for my OCD to focus on it and try to undermine the joy I derive from it. Best way I can describe it.

For me, it's people thinking I'm a screenwriter. I definitely understand how easily that misunderstanding can occur, of course, but I try to be very clear that I'm not a screenwriter.

What's a misconception people have about your job?

When you see someone who you assume is in their 60s on the news, and then you find out they're actually 3 years younger than you... and you wonder if you look that old! 🀣

If you've ever enjoyed my work, please consider giving me a follow on Instagram. I have some fun projects that I'll soon be sharing there. My username is StobiesGalaxy πŸ‘πŸ»

I've got a joke about Garak. Or do I?

Less than two months to finish planning my 40th birthday celebration and by finish planning I mean not plan on doing anything πŸ˜‚

Every unnecessary barrier put between citizens and their lawful right to vote is, in essence, a tool to dissuade them from voting. Awful.

I'm going out* tonight. *Staying home and watching Star Trek.

This was a fantastic combination, by the way. I highly recommend it πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

In my latest for Star Trek dot com, I look at Captain Lorca's legacy! πŸ––πŸ» #StarTrek www.startrek.com/news/the-leg...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock tradingβ€”and I've got a bill for that.

For those who donate $50 or more to my charity you will receive a hand signed letter from me. What does the letter look like? Here's an example sent in by a supporter of my charity. This letter dates from 2014; you can see I've been doing this a long time. www.silentauctionpro.com/fanpage.php?...

I had my recurring dream about being back in high school/college and having to take a test I hadn't studied for again last night. For a studious person like me, that's a true nightmare 😬
