Go for it!

Star Trek: The Next Generation "Emissary" vidcap: K'Ehleyr saying "You speak Klingon."

Still life with book and (half)Klingon: A hardback copy of the aforementioned Chanda Prescod-Weinstein tome with a Loyalty Bookstores bookmark and an action figure of Star Trek: Next Gen's K'Ehleyr (not included in the purchase) sitting atop it, sword drawn, don't even think about trying to borrow this book, go get your own!

I GOT MINE! (and K'Ehleyr approves!) A lovely signed & personalized copy of "The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie" by the excellent @chanda.blacksky.app! from the likewise excellent @loyaltybooks.bsky.social! Go thou and do likewise!

The American TV execs at Sci Fi Channel not only didn't get in Farscape's way but instead asked us to make it weirder. "We don't want a kid's show!" (And, true to their word, they let us get VERY weird indeed!)

I believe it was Michael Cassutt who (long long ago) proposed the ultimate TV pitch:
.
"She's a chimp. He's the Pope. They're cops!"
.
Mike always was ahead of his time.

Forgive me a moment of spite amid the moonjoy: suck it, Elon.

A black and white photo of Katherine Johnson, the "Hidden Figure" that sent man into space

A photo of Vanessa Wyche, director of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil service member

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.

And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

The exact people who say ‘but you’re alienating half your audience!’ Are making burner accounts to post homophobic sewage on every article talking about Starfleet Academy.

Make your art.
Not art you think will mean bigots don’t hate you in public

Left: a show whose writers constantly introduced major plot turns without any idea how to deal with them later.

Right: a show whose creators came up with their ending early on and stuck to it, no matter the mounting evidence that it was no longer viable.

Planning in TV is wildly overrated.

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

Handmade Easter card by a very young lady. Left side: "Happy Easter writer's" with a cross and a head of a girl (in blue) and a boy (in red). Right side: "Dear: writer's / Hope your scrip's are going Good / happy Easter / from: Imogen and Buckwheat"

Annual Easter post! This card was given to the Farscape writers room a quarter century ago, and every year I post it back to Imogen Browder -- now a TV writer (S.W.A.T., THE NIGHT AGENT) and fellow WGA member!
