Important service announcement. #StarTrek #CetiEel #ThinkHard

A ceti eel from "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Ricardo Montalban, now available on streaming and Blu-Ray. Below the eel is a message: "I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas Present. I am a two to five day commitment before i drive you mad and kill you. Please think hard before you give someone a Ceti eel this Christmas."

#LosCon50 is in the bag! I learned a lot, had thought-provoking and inspiring conversations, and met some amazing people. Thanks, @loscon.bsky.social for a wonderful event. ❤️

You've got 40 minutes to get over there and join the fun. Even if you don't write poetry, go listen. I guarantee there will be some good stuff!

Super excited for LosCon 50 in 3 days, where I'll be speaking on panels about space and costuming. And attending every writing panel they have. Can't wait to see everyone there.

Ah, the annual ritual of logging into the SDCC waiting room and joining a million of my closest friends in the running of the registrations. :D

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

I left that other social media place when their owner fired the ethics and accessibility teams a couple years ago. Happy to see this place getting traction!
