I’m at the Creation Star Trek: Orlando convention and this morning a mother told Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd that her small daughters got HER into Star Trek - little girls watching and looking up to the women of Star Trek, recruiting their mothers into fandom. How we’ve come full circle! 🥰🖖🏼
Volunteered to take my 94 year old father to the grocery and forgot about the sensory Hell I was signing myself up for.

Thank you @chanda.blacksky.app for the ARC and for the lovely acknowledgement. I’m excited to dive in! Be sure to preorder from your local bookshop or bookshop.org if you have no local brick and mortar. Don’t forget to ask your library or order a copy, too!

A family member in Kentucky recently signed up for the National Guard to “fulfill a lifetime dream” and I still haven’t moved past my feelings of anger and betrayal. (The man is in his 40’s, by the way.)

America has the highest health care costs of any developed nation. And the poorest life expectancy, by far. We are victims of the deadly for-profit healthcare and insurance industries who don't care if you suffer and die prematurely, as long as they make obscene profits.

Fandom as we know it exists today because of female Star Trek fans. It’s just so frustrating to have women’s roles in sci-fi history denied, because it extends well beyond fandom and creates the perception that women haven’t contributed as much to society at large as men, which is violent erasure

This is amazing. My grandmother was a Star Trek fan and went to conventions in the 80s and 90s.
When she visited, she kept her Star Trek novels on her nightstand with the family Bible.

Trektober 30 - The women of Star Trek fandom!
Star Trek has a long history of fandom (One of the first!) and women are such an integral part of it that I thought I would highlight some of them!

I see Star Trek fan discourse is happening again. The OG Trek fan in my family was my *grandmother* who tuned in to TOS because she knew @georgetakei.bsky.social 's family from the internment camp in Arkansas.

I've literally sat down with Bjo Trimble, the woman who helped save Star Trek.
Fuck off with your 'only men are Star Trek fans' nonsense.
Also Bjo is a legend, and John was awesome too :)

Appreciation post for all the men speaking up about their mothers, sisters, and other women who influenced their love of Star Trek. Allyship is essential, especially as misogyny is on the rise worldwide. Please keep it up - and stand up for women in person, too. Thank you 🫶🏼🖖🏼

My mom got me into Trek when I was a kid and most Trek fans I know/ encounter are women. And the lead of my Star Trek show was a woman, as was the captain of the ship. So shut the fuck up.

Joining the collective of my fellow Trekkies and creatives from #StarTrek in saying that, if you think the franchise is just for straight, white, neurotypical, American men, you’ve seriously been missing so much about it all. From a gay, Autistic, British Trekkie who’s been one since 8 years old.🖖

For what it's worth, my sister is the one who introduced me to Star Trek, and many of the friends I've made in this fandom are women.

Speaking of Trek fandom: I went to Star Trek Las Vegas in 2016. Beyond had just come out so I was trying to pose like Jaylah on the Captain's chair. (The last time I went to STLV)

I don’t dress up often for Halloween but since becoming a Trekkie I’ve wanted to wear the uniform so bad so I did and it was great 😎

I performed in improvised parodies of TOS for 9 years, appearing at comic conventions and on SyFy Wire. I also moderated the 2010 Emerald City Comicon panel with Leonard Nimoy, who was amazing. I grew up with TNG, but developed appreciation for TOS after “These Are The Voyages” #startrek #trekkie 🖖

My mum (now 73) once put out a lonleyhearts in a Star Trek magazine. My dad responded. So without women in Star Trek fandom I literally WOULDNT EXIST #startrek
p.s. more babes who smash the narrative of "only conservative men like star trek" should totally post cool photos of themselves and their friends doing cool trek things, because if nothing else, it'll bring this skyline some needed joy and beauty <3
Loving the call for visibility in response to erasure. Here are four photos representing some of my involvement in Trek fandom, from Trektivism panels to leading the STLV LGBTQIA+ Annual Photo Op and participating on the Trek Talks team that’s helped raise almost half a million dollars for HoFoCo 🖖🏼
