Hi, I realized today that I might have a dozen Star Trek shirts, not counting my uniforms 😆

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

As if my landlord raising my rent wasn’t shitty enough but got a helluva email saying I’m not “grateful” enough to him for fixing the heat (that he let sit broken for 4 years) and I’m not nice enough to him.

Kevin Avery has skyrocketed to the position of my
#1 podcast crush since he started hosting Maximum Film. His "Whats good" is always adorable (Trader Joe's wine, Greay British Bakeoff) and he's so cute in this episode especially.

We got @wkamaubell.bsky.social and Kevin together again to talk Denzel (and bust each others' chops). It's all in honor of Spike Lee and Denzel's 5th movie together, the first in decades...and it's a Kurosawa remake?

A lot going on in Ep 419, #denzealots! #filmsky

I miss getting random @maximumfun.org swag at MaxFunCons. I didn't think I still had any of the totes but I found one the other day.

Hmmm, my MaxFun playing cards, my SPY bandana, a couple MaxFunCon tshirts

The A Quiet Place Part II Survival Kit that my dad won from the Regal and then I won at his wedding raffle party.
What if it saves my life someday?

A Quiet Place Part II branded portable battery and bag, a compass, flashlight, multitool, knife etc

Wore this outfit to a queer art festival yesterday and had a hilariously intense conversation with a stranger about how the EMH is obviously trans. I love Star Trek fans.

It was hilarious, I dropped my phone in the toilet at work right before I left for the airport. I had to get a paper boarding pass and call a taxi.

I broke my phone literally right before I left for STLV and had to buy a new one in Vegas.

@dannybaruela.bsky.social I lost the good version of the file for my phone background. Is there any chance you still have it?

There are basically no pictures of it, but I went as Marge Gunderson the Halloween that I was pregnant.

Someday I'll get to take new reference photos and stop beating this drum but today is not that day.

On the rare chance you haven't seen this, I have a super big reference photo pack available of the entire fat photo ref archive! It's pay what you can with a $5 minimum. 🩵

Devastated, I'm so sorry. You all build something great there, something I hope you can be really proud of.

On today's #GreatestTrek, Sulu gets poetic when he tries to tell Rand that a carnivorous weeper by any other name would jerk just as nicely.
