Happy #EarthDay! Spent the day on a boat with students, a professor, and the founder of the Coastal Marine Education & Research Academy to observe research on sharks and rays. I even got to tag a ray! The TL;DR story airs Monday, to be followed by a more in-depth look at this work later.

Spent the day out on a boat with water district officials checking out the health of seagrass at Fort De Soto Park. Got to hold a spider crab, too! You can hear more at @wusf.org tomorrow! (Thx to Steve Newborn for the candids!)

It was a grueling recovery for both of us, but she's happy and healthy and thriving now. If I could regrow kidneys, I'd keep donating them. If you ever have any questions about the living donation process, don't hesitate to DM me here or on Signal DaylinaMiller.13.

The Doctor’s quote in the latest episode of Starfleet Academy “Vox in Excelso” really struck a chord with me and I couldn’t find an image of it yet so I made one.

A screenshot from the latest episode of Starfleet Academy with Robert Picardo’s holographic doctor character speaking to cadets in a debate class. The cadets chose the topic of whether Starfleet should force the Klingons to accept their help to avoid extinction. The quote is “There’s been a tragedy. Don’t compound it with ignorance.”

I've been going to MOSI since the early 2000s. It was sad to see them struggling financially and closing exhibition spaces. But the science museum's newest expansion (and name to go with it!) is pretty exciting. Here's what I saw this week during the unveiling.

Want a look at the construction of the massive tent being built on the football field at Raymond James Stadium? I had a chance to check it out myself yesterday. Read the story - and see my photos - here: www.wusf.org/sports/2026-...

Spent a couple hours today with my @wusf.org colleagues Amelie and Steve as we learned more about the tent being set up for the Tampa Bay Lightning’s game against the Boston Bruins on Feb. 1 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. It’ll protect the ice right up until the game starts.

@kellythejournalist.bsky.social is so right. When I speak to journalism students still being taught that we “give voice to the voiceless,” I point out it’s an outdated, ego-driven mantra. Our job is to amplify voices. To empower people to share their lived experience & knowledge. They have voices.

If you value public radio, especially your @npr.org station in the Tampa Bay region, @wusf.org, we could really use your support to bring in an extra $10,000 during our FYE campaign. You can call 877-330-1024 or make your pledge at www.wusf.org. We appreciate you!

My sweet boy is 14 now and with soft fur and all his teeth, the vet is always surprised how good he looks. Even if he does cost me a car payment monthly in insulin and prescription food and needles. So worth it. Look how much he loves his birthday toys!

Seven years ago today I was privileged to be healthy enough to donate a kidney to my sister. I’m so grateful my health issues, which are completely unrelated, started after this. (Forgive the Harry Potter reference. It was a different time.)

Two smiling siblings in hospital gowns on a hospital bed. They’re holding up matching shirts that have gold foil kidneys, a little trail of footsteps, and the words “transplant managed” in the Harry Potter font.

Went to SYFY Bartow Saturday and picked up a book from a Lakeland author that I'm really excited about. "The Chasing Collection" is a zombie trilogy, and the prequel is from a journalist's perspective! It'll pair well with my Newsflesh series from Mira Grant.

A pale-skinned person with thigh tattoos balanced a hardcover book on their lap. Its by RM Hamrick, and is called "The Chasing Collection: Zombie Tagger Edition." The cover has three feminine people on it, one walking toward the reader and two with their backs turned. It's a combination of the covers of the three books sold separately.

Seven years ago this month, I gave my sister my right kidney. As great as it is to register for organ donation after death, many folks still die waiting for a transplant from a cadaver organ. I'm always down to talk about my donation experience and help guide folks through the process.

Hey, Dad. It’s been 4 years today since you left us. I still don’t fully understand why, and I don’t think I ever will. I miss your dry, deadpan humor, sharing our love of creepy crawlies and oddities, and our near daily conversations. I hope you’ve found peace. Love you. #SuicidePrevention

Tonight during Winter Solstice I’m celebrating the eventual return of the sun, and a new year of light and growth. Right now I’m focusing on honoring all the reasons that make life worth living to help sustain me during this next period of my life.

The altar is covered with red, green, and white candles, and a faux Yule log that’s hosts 12 reality candles. A reindeer on the right holds more tea lights on its antlers and behind it is a femme, Yule version of the green man. On the right is a green Celtic knot advent wreath from Daylina’s grandmother.

You won’t hear me on the air today but if you’re tuning into WUSF 89.7 through 7 p.m., I’ll be working with our talented hosts and engineer to raise money for our winter campaign to keep local news reporting going in 2025. You can donate online at WUSF.org, or calling/texting 877-330-1024.

Joe and I both nailed our annual ornament exchange. Too bad we probably won’t put up the tree this year. Just not feeling the holiday spirit.

The left one features the Galaxy quest shop, the Protector, and the right one features Beetlejuice in his graveyard outfit with the long gray trenchcoat, red button up shirt and high water pants.

Started my morning off in Tampa at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention walk in memory of my dad, Donald Miller, a USMC veteran who died by suicide on Jan. 4, 2021. He was failed by his country & the VA, but leaves a legacy of love, wonder, & curiosity in me, my sister, & his grandkids.

A group of six adults and two children decked out in warmer clothing for the cold morning pose in front of a long blue American Foundation For Suicide Prevention Banner for the Out of the Darkness Community Walk. They’re holding various signs that say things like stop suicide, real convo, and be the voice. It’s a crisp December day at the park and the sky is very blue, the sun just barely up over the horizon.

Eternally proud of my sweet spouse @joerocks1981.bsky.social for turning an idea into a tangible #ttrpg that is beloved by our friends and many strangers who have encountered it. Joe did the distinctive art, the writing and the layout - and it’s one of my favorite things to talk about with folks.

@chansterling.bsky.social put out a neat #TTRPG that uses tarot cards and we picked up a copy at Free Play Florida! Who’s in?

A paper booklet called Starred for Life, a tarot-based, story-driven tabletop rpg. A game of bodies, burdens and black arts. The design has a pink and purple color palette and features a darker-skinned witch and a fairer-skinned witch reading tarot cards at a table with a purple cloth. They’re both wearing witch hats. A tuxedo cat stands by the table. It’s by spirit bored games.
