Screaming Firehawk, Trekkie, Public Historian, Costumer. Love my cats and a strong cup of tea. She/her
Took a walk this afternoon. Most of the leaves are now on the ground so it’s really starting to feel like winter. Then I spotted this bush with two blooms holding out against the weather.

A pretty good month for reading! 4 audiobooks, 3 ebooks, 3 re-reads, all library loans. I loved The Incandescent and I’m happy I finally got around to trying Sanderson. #reading #booksky #books

They did make the cups and saucers!

If I’m not supposed to drink tea out of it, then what’s the point? #Picard #StarTrek #TNG

I’m mostly offline these days…maybe that’s why I’ve been able to read more? 8 books in September, 4 audiobooks, 3 ebooks, 1 paperback, 6 library loans, 1 re-read. Highly recommend Bury Our Bones. #books #booksky #reading

I’m late with my August wrap-up, but it was a pretty disappointing month for reading. 2 audiobooks, 1 ebook, 1 re-read, 2 library loans. Cannot really recommend either of the new books I read this month. #booksky #books #reading

Wait…the cat is named Frodo??? I have a cow cat named Frodo! He is decidedly not chill, but now I have more reason to watch this movie.

I’m forever disappointed by every version of Paul Child that isn’t played by Stanley Tucci, including the actual Paul Child.

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

I was born in DC and grew up on the Orange Line.

Jack Quaid couldn’t make it to #STLV this year, but I was happy to fill in as Boimler for the #LowerDecks photo op. I even had time to rescue this adorable Borg baby! First cosplay & first ever photo op for him. #StarTrek

A reminder to everyone traveling to #STLV: don’t forget your tribble! Also, remember that all alien flora and fauna must be declared when boarding the USS Rio.

(As tribble is not in a suitcase yet, there is still a possibility that I may forget my tribble.)

4 books again in July, but I started 5 others that I haven’t finished yet. 2 audiobooks, 2 ebooks, 1 re-read, 3 library loans. And now I have to wait patiently for the next #Legendborn book. #Reading #Books #Booksky

Looking at these character slides and I’m wondering if USS Athena is a reference to West Point or just coincidental.

USMA’s crest is Athena’s helmet.

I feel like between this and “Subspace Rhapsody” we have absolutely answered the question of whether the Powers That Be at Strange New Worlds are Buffy/Angel fans.

Years of #StarTrek #cosplay has given me way too much experience in making fabric horns. #STLV

I also checked the table for “New Sci-fi & Fantasy” and it was almost entirely fantasy. I think one of these might be sci-fi?

Visited my local @barnesandnoble.com today and was disappointed to see that the Sci-fi section has shrunk to 2 bays (plus one for media tie-ins and a few mass market paperbacks). Fantasy has 7 bays and Romance has 11…I blame #BookTok 🤷‍♀️

I know what I’m doing the next time I’m in DC, because #theExpanse is in the #SMITHSONIAN!!!! #screamingfirehawks

An increase to 4 books in June! 1 audiobook, 1 ebook, 2 hardcovers, 1 library loan, 2 re-reads. Highly recommend the moon cheese book and the Legendborn Cycle. #reading #books #booksky

How it feels when @starfleethist.bsky.social and I use our baby to get into events for families:

You know you’re a #trekkie when you find a random delta in your suitcase. #startrek

In a bit of a slump and only read 3 books in May. Both audiobooks were re-reads. I picked up “Yours, Eventually” as a blind book and really enjoyed it. #reading #books #booksky

Judging this movie by the poster and cast was the best decision. Funny, heartfelt, heart wrenching - a beautiful story about family and love. Absolutely a new favorite for us. #TheWeddingBanquet

If you see this post a picture of yourself from 5 years ago.

A rainy day at work once I was finally allowed back on site.
