I needed this reminder this morning, because even though it's 2025, it still applies.

If you smell something.
SAY something.

As someone who grew up without a father, who was verbally/ physically abused by a stepfather, sexually abused by a male friend and raised myself from the age of 12, this resonates with me profoundly.

I bailed on Twitter the second my journalism career ended in early 2022.
Only reason I was still on it was for work.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

I keep seeing this ridiculous rhetoric that there are no female Trek fans. That it’s the province of men.
That’s bullshit.
I’ve been a fan all my life. My mum has been a fan since TOS. Women helped keep Trek alive. Women are an active, contributing part of this fandom.
We aren’t going anywhere
