Any name including "Ann" is such a powerhouse author name in speculative fiction. Ann Leckie Annalee Newitz Anne McCaffrey Even the "N" in N.K. Jemisin kinda sounds like Ann.

I found a butt can.
Large metal vessel painted with a The Butt Can graphic. Apparently part of a thing people are supposed to put cigarette butts in.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

she had to hide and be stealth, it’s never mentioned the character is trans but there’s something truly magic in knowing that the next time i rewatch TNG, i will see her there and i will know that someone like me helped make the show that ignited my lifelong love of Star Trek 😭

As a kid, I thought if someone was shown that a claim they made was inaccurate, it was their duty to not make that claim again. I didn't understand how many people make a living peddling claims they know to be false.
