Such a delight to watch Star Trek Prodigy with my ten year old boy, we love it and the @TrekProdigyRoom have crafted such a lovely gateway into the Star Trek universe. Itโ€™s legit superb Star Trek as well, never condescending and always deftly written.

When talking to kids, "Hi, what's your name?" is deeply inferior to "Hi, my name's Hank!" I have no idea why, but the second one makes them feel so much less stressed. Goes for most communication, actually...give something before you ask for something.

The @StarTrek franchise has stood the test of time, because it celebrates the best in us.

I am rewatching My So-Called Life and @wcruz73โ€™s portrayal of Rickie Vasquez still comes across as so loving and tender and perfect. For a lot of us, Rickie was the first time we saw a queer person of color on TV and we were so lucky that it was through Wilson Cruz.

Iโ€™m so mad that Trump is going to be the biggest news tomorrow and not the signing of a bill that has made me feel hopeful about taking on climate change for the first time in my life.

Season 2 filming wrapped and all of Season 1 now streaming on @paramountplus. Itโ€™s a wild, critically acclaimed ride to help keep the worldโ€™s darkness at bay for an hour or so at a time. Enjoy. On repeat. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds @StarTrek @StarTrekOnPPlus

Waking up astounded every morning that the party that consistently wins elections despite having gotten fewer votes is the one that has been taken over by extremists who think elections are rigged.

People saying โ€œdonโ€™t vote, it doesnโ€™t help:โ€ this is how Trump won in 2016 by 77k votes, and appointed the 3 justices who overturned Roe and more. Want to see how much worse things can get, be apathetic and let Republicans take majorities. This hand wringing is a foolโ€™s errand.

Coaches leading high school prayers is deeply coercive. If you donโ€™t understand that, then you didnโ€™t play high school sports.

In times like this, people often hate hearing "go vote". But really what we mean by "vote" is "build political power", and yes, that is still the answer. 1/x

In another timeline, Hillary Clinton wins. Merrick Garland becomes a Justice. RBG retires. Anthony Kennedy doesn't. There is no Gorsuch. There is no Kavanaugh. There is no Coney Barrett. These are the consequences of ONE election.
