I talked with @bethbarany.bsky.social about how curating an exhibition got me into monsters; on what makes a good #SFF monster; #StarTrek’s Borg Collective; and lessons from Monsters, Inc. Listen wherever you get your podcasts! 1/ 💙📚 🗃 #histsci #politics #HAMH writersfunzone.com/blog/2025/11...

Jaime Babb's Trekkie origin story, and a fan's critique of #StarTrek's villains of late: "we need Star Trek to do what Star Trek has always done best—present us with an Other in whom we can see ourselves." A fun #SFF feature in @reactorsff.bsky.social, where last month I wrote... 1/2

The "villains" of Trek are meant to be foils to the Federation's worldview, not blindly evil antagonists.

Happy birthday to #StarTrek’s quiet revolutionary universe-builder @mikeokuda.bsky.social! Here when Mike came by my #STLV Hilton-era table in '08, the year I launched my #Trekland blog and videos. Always supportive, even in those ancient times! #mikeokuda #TNG #DS9 #ENT

HAPPY MEMORIAL BIRTHDAY, #StarTrek's late great #MichaelPiller who would have turned 77 today had not he lost his 2nd battle with neck cancer in 2005. Hard work, talent, family devotion, and mentoring turned #TNG around into a hit spinoff-maker: #DS9 #VGR, and #Insurrection. #drtrek #trekland

So great to not only run into Trek alien designer Neville Page checking in this weekend at #WonderCon but to get introduced to his son Orion, #StarTrek’s biggest young enthusiast who is happy to tell you just how excited it all makes him. Especially Doug Jones, Saru and Disco! Good job, Dad.
