Great work from everyone involved, and that's far more people as well as writer and artist. Quality work!

I was told it was about Raffi, but I had fun learning who else is there. You can find out for yourself. The story is fascinating (uses finger to raise one eyebrow) and I don't think I've seen Star Trek so something like this. Glad I've already added it to my pull list.

Star Trek: Zero Point, a new comic from IDW was speculatively added to my haul by my comic shop. I bought it. Read it. So should you. Written by @charliejaneanders.com with art by Isaac Sánchez González, I had a blast with the first issue. #treksky #startrekzeropoint

Ah yes, I’m sure we can expect a robust, unflinching account of the UK’s most litigious transphobe, notorious for using lawfare to bully those who criticise her into submission, from the company who just blurred out somebody’s “Protect the Dolls” T-shirt on TV.

I'm not sure exactly. Under ten years old certainly. Maybe seven or eight? Not sure. It took decades longer to begin to understand some reasons why.

The military appropriates his maths and uses it to develop more expendable (to them) human-operated starships. Horrified, the man who rediscovered maths commits s-cide, but maths is out and can't be contained. 2/3

There's a 1958 short story by Isaac Asimov called 'The Feeling of Power' in which everyone has forgotten all of mathematics because computers ate always used. A man rediscovers maths and astonishes people by being able to do it with paper and pencil. 1/3

For millions, Terry Pratchett opened the door to a lifelong love of reading. The passage below, from Reaper Man, has always struck us as one of his most moving – a humanist meditation on death and legacy that continues to be read at humanist funerals today. #GNUTerryPratchett

“Introduce yourself with four starships”.

The Liberator from Blake's 7. The Liberator was an alien starship used by Blake and his crew against the Federation.

The TARDIS from Doctor Who. The Doctor stole the TARDIS and fled from Gallifrey to roam spacetime.

The Ark from The Transformers. The Ark crashed on Earth containing the Autobots and Decepticons.

A Starfury from Babylon 5. This is a Black Omega variant of the fighter used by an elite Psi Corps division.

Another way of rephrasing the paradox of tolerance is that we can't have an agreement to disagree if the disagreement is over whether one side is free to continue existing or participating in things like society and civil disagreements without being exiled or discriminated against.

Trans women are women. Trans women's rights are women's rights. You can't stand up for women's rights while excluding some women. What I'm saying is the opposite of bigotry. It's like you can't stand up for human rights if you exclude groups of humans based upon, say, skin colour or gender.

Can you see the "valid points" on the side of racism? Or the "valid points" on the side of misogyny? This isn't about musical taste, it's about opposing bigotry. If you're 'both sides-ing' it, you're showing what side you've stood with.
