My friends call me Kate (pronouns: She/Her), and I'm a lifelong Trekkie and Star Wars fan. I enjoy movies, TV, and comic books, and I also write fanfiction. I'd be posting more fandom stuff if the world wasn't going to heck.

Screenshot from a GIF by SwearTrek using an image from the pilot episode of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS. Captain Pike (Anson Mount) looks upwards (presumably at a viewscreen) as he speaks. White text at the bottom says, "people won't put up with this shit for much longer."

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...
PITTSBURGH'S Public Source Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists return to their jobs at the Post-Gazette after three years on strike After a court ruling in their favor, long-striking journalists declared victory and returned to a pivotal Southwestern Pennsylvania newsroom. They return as union organizing continues throughout the region. Stephanie Strasburg November 24, 2025 Natalie Duleba, local secretary of the guild, hugs Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild Communications of America, as she hands him the mic. "The first day of this strike, our folks went over across the street and they sat down at a table, and they started talking about that they were going to take care of each other," said Schleuss, acknowledging the guild could not have known how long the path back to work would be.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

My fav Shakespeare thing is how Henry IV part 2 starts with Majel Barrett Roddenberry saying, "Previously on Henry IV..." and there's a clip reel ending with Hotspur yelling "FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT."

Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."

Some outlets are reporting that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore. But the fine print on that overturns the whole story: DOGE is just dropping its tarnished brand, not the chainsaw. 🧵

My Star Wars hot take is that Andor was worth the money spent for saving the franchise's reputation. www.forbes.com/sites/caroli...
Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies
Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

Oh my god that is so much money to manufacture consent for something that so many people do not want, and on which they have bet so much money and infrastructure. Holy shit. The popping of this "AI" bubble is gonna be such a nightmare.

A little movie trivia for you on this #Mornday.

#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekDS9
Morn was in the cantina scene in the original cut of Star Wars. He lost interest in acting after the movie billed him as "Potato Man." [Image: Scene taken from Star Wars (1977) showing the bar in the Most Eisley cantina. We see a variety of containers, cups, and receptacles all along the bar. Sitting at the bar, from left to right, are Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke skywalker, and Morn.]

A man with severe scarring on his face and head sits in a futuristic mobility device, looking upward with his mouth slightly open. He wears a dark uniform with three large indicator lights on the front of the chair—one glowing yellow. A banner in the LCARS-style frame reads: “On This Day — 24 Nov 1966 — The Menagerie, Part II.” Below, text notes: “Season 1, Episode 16 — Star Trek: The Original Series,” with the CloneStar Podcast logo in the corner. An animated scene shows three alien delegates seated at a curved panel inside a geometric, futuristic chamber. From left to right: a stern, dark-bearded man in purple armor; a large red feline-like alien with glowing yellow eyes; and a blue-skinned humanoid with white hair and two short antennae. The LCARS-style frame reads: “On This Day — 24 Nov 1973 — The Time Trap,” and below: “Season 1, Episode 12 — Star Trek: The Animated Series,” with the CloneStar Podcast logo in the corner. An alien figure with pale, textured skin, a tall central forehead ridge, and a hooded brown outfit stands onboard a starship, holding a set of metallic tools. The LCARS-style frame on the left reads: “On This Day — 24 Nov 1999 — The Voyager Conspiracy.” Below it, another banner notes: “Season 6, Episode 9 — Star Trek: Voyager,” with the CloneStar Podcast logo in the corner. A small, brightly colored alien character from Star Trek: Prodigy stands in front of a staircase, glowing in shades of blue and purple with star-like speckles across its body. It holds two small devices emitting red energy beams, one in each hand, and appears mid-motion. The LCARS-style frame on the left reads: “On This Day — 24 Nov 2022 — Masquerade,” with another banner below stating: “Season 1, Episode 15 — Star Trek: Prodigy,” alongside the CloneStar Podcast logo.

I met Gabrielle Ruiz at Star Trek: New Jersey last year and she was so nice to me! I gave her a drawing I did of T'lyn in the "Women gotta stick together" pose from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and she asked me to sign it even though I was at her table where she was selling HER signature.
