Hi #skystorians! I'm hoping some of y'all might be able to help/offer resources. I'm working with a student who's visually impaired. They have chronic daily migraines made worse by reading. We're trying to find resources to help with reading primary sources & some secondary. 1/ 🗃

How are you finding ways to resist/cope?
Given the political environment, my wife and I have decided to be more intentional, about health, about community. Also ways to resist. For instance, we’re each giving to causes we believe in. One I’m giving to is @unitethepoor.bsky.social.

How are you finding ways to resist/cope?

Wow! The work that cosplayers create is incredible and inspiring. Fandoms have the power to impact so many areas of our lives. Make sure to follow the hashtag #28DaysOfBlackCosplay!

Also, check out how incredible @spottedgiraffe.bsky.social work is 🖖🏾🖖🏼 #StarTrek
Today is first day of Black History Month and so it’s also the first day of #28DaysOfBlackCosplay! (And my first time doing it on BlueSky!! Aaaaaaah)

I’ll try to post 28 cosplays, one each day, and will also reskeet other Black cosplayers. Follow and like! Uplift new voices in the community!

Listen, if @wilwheaton.net suggests an essay to read, we read it.

✨it’s a powerful read✨
Really, really, great and insightful essay from Cory Doctorow today that I've been struggling to summarize much longer than the "just a minute" I told the dog when she asked for her walk.

So I'm just going to say, "this is worth your time and attention."

Have you published a book or essay highlighting LGBTQIA2+ characters, narratives, or representation in #StarTrek, #Babylon5, #Xena, #Buffy, #X-files, etc?

If you have and you’d like your book to be showcased in a museum exhibit I’m creating, let me know!

As we warp into the spring semester may your:

• coffee be Janeway-approved
• logic be like Spock’s
• ambition rival Seven’s.
• curiosity match Data’s.
& resilience mirror Picard’s.

The top question we get asked is, “What are the best sites to find Calls for Papers (CFP) related to #StarTrek, #Sci-fi, #Fantasy, and #PopCulture?”
