she had to hide and be stealth, it’s never mentioned the character is trans but there’s something truly magic in knowing that the next time i rewatch TNG, i will see her there and i will know that someone like me helped make the show that ignited my lifelong love of Star Trek 😭

FIRSTLY as the piece alludes: Loren Rex Cameron’s also-trans and arguably more famous older sister, Cameron, was a I believe fully stealth working model and actress (a la plot of Pose) in the 80s and 90s mostly … I rewatched like I dunno, dozens of TNG episodes, where she appeared as Ensign Kellogg:

Just drove past a house with tons of Christmas lights up. Folks, I regret to inform you that Halloween is no longer holding the bulkhead against the holiday season. Early October had been breached; late September is sure to fall next. By this time next year we may be witnessing a Christmas in July

They changed the Firefox layout and (trying to sound relatable, panicking a little) I feel like that episode of Star Trek where Worf tumbles through parallel universes until he doesn't recognize the bridge controls and his failure to raise shields lets Bajoran separatists damage the Enterprise

Few if any can know what the future holds, but many - if not all? - CAN know what the future holds for books I wrote that will be published in October! Interested parties need only direct their attention to the graphic below :0

IN THE BIBLE HE'S MOSTLY JUST A PLACE AND NOT A GUY BUT REST ASSURED THERE IS IN FACT A DUDE NAMED "JORDAN" JUST OFF-SCREEN IN SEVERAL IMPORTANT SCENES THAT I DIDN'T WRITE ABOUT / HE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING BUT HE DOES NOD HIS HEAD REAL VIGOROUSLY AT ALL THE BEST PARTS www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: The following is my list of Country Names That Could Possibly Be People's Names Too!

T-Rex: #1: Chad!T-Rex: This is an easy first place, because I knew a Chad once.
Dromiceiomimus: I knew a Chad too, and he wasn't even FROM Chad!
T-Rex: That makes him a true Chad, because otherwise he might've just been trying to rep his country.T-Rex: #2: Mali. I don't know a Mali, but if I met someone who said "hey my name is Mali" I'd probably say "oh cool!"
Utahraptor: Huh!

Utahraptor: I'd probably say "Sorry, Molly?" and she'd say "No, Mali" and I'd say "Oh okay."
T-Rex: Either way, a solid contender! #3 is Kazakhstan, because I would like to know a guy named Kazakhstan.
T-Rex: "Kaz" for short.God: SORRY DID YOU JUST RATE KAZAKHSTAN AS A NAME ABOVE JORDAN OR GEORGIA BOTH OF WHICH ARE ACTUAL IN-USE NAMES
T-Rex: ...Maybe?
God: JORDAN EVEN APPEARS IN MY FIRST BOOK THE BIBLE AND THERE'S A SEQUEL TOO BUT JORDAN'S BARELY IN IT
God: WOW

in my talk today, as an example of the strange things you can do in comics given their sequential but also spatial/simultaneous nature, I included this gonzo panel from 1950s Batman, which I just love in all its weirdness! Yes, I have more intentionally clever examples, but something about this...

part of a page from a batman comic. In one panel, batman leaps from off panel onto a diving board, the motion lines of his rebound travel across to another panel, where we see him finish his leap and crash into the crooks to save the day

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
