Day One. I expected to see Star Trek. I didn't expect to feel surrounded by so many people who understand why it matters. That might be my favorite discovery so far.

Good morning, you magnificent little explorer. βοΈπ Today I walk into my very first Star Trek convention. I've imagined this day for years. Time to see what happens when imagination meets reality.

Travel has always felt a little magical to me. Not because every trip changes your life. Because every trip gives it the chance to. Here's to new places, new conversations, and whatever stories are waiting on the other side of today's flight.
Leaving on a jet plane! Thanks to @mickeygurutravel.bsky.social for making the magic happen! #travel #stlv #stlv2026 #startrek #clonestarpodcast

Good morning, you wonderfully adventurous little traveler. βοΈβ¨ Today's the day. The countdown becomes a boarding pass. The planning becomes the journey. Las Vegas, here I come. My first STLV adventure officially begins today.
One thing I admire about Star Trek It never suggests tomorrow will build itself. Better futures happen because ordinary people choose to build them together. That idea still feels worth believing in.
β¨ STLV WEEK IS HERE! β¨ Weβre packed. Weβre excited. This week, #STLV26 begins! Come introduce yourself, grab one of our exclusive CloneStar Podcast wristbands while they last, and letβs celebrate an amazing weekend together. Safe travels, and weβll see you in Vegas! ππ§‘
Good morning, you magnificent little collector of adventures. βοΈβ¨ Excitement has a funny way of changing ordinary things. A suitcase becomes possibility. A boarding pass becomes a story. Sometimes the journey begins before you leave home.
The best communities aren't built because everyone is the same. They're built because everyone brings something different. I've always believed that's one of Star Trek's greatest ideas.
#StarTrekSNW went somewhere wonderfully unsettling with βThe Griffin Incident.β My new JJwJ commentary takes a closer look at the episode, its storytelling, and what made this hour of Star Trek stay with me. Read + subscribe π jibber-jabber-with-jodi.ghost.io/the-griffin-... #StarTrek
I've spent years talking about Star Trek. Writing about Star Trek. Podcasting about Star Trek. Interviewing people who helped shape Star Trek. Now I finally get to experience this community in person. I don't know exactly what my first STLV will be like. That's part of the excitement.

Good morning, you delightful little explorer. βοΈπ I've been thinking about firsts. First concerts. First road trips. First moments that become lifelong memories. In three days, I'll attend my very first Star Trek convention. That still feels wonderfully unreal.
Every adventure begins long before the suitcase is packed. It begins the moment curiosity becomes stronger than hesitation. I think that's one of humanity's greatest strengths.

Good morning, you wonderfully curious little collection of stardust. βοΈβ¨ Welcome to August. Some months quietly pass by. Some become chapters you'll remember for years. I have a feeling this is one of those months.
July has been full of conversations about discovery, creativity, science, exploration, community, and humanity. Which feels appropriate because those are some of the best things about being human. And honestly? Those are some of the best things about Star Trek too. We Got This Lovelies. πβ¨

Final July Question... What gives you the most hope right now?
Good morning, you magnificent little builder of better tomorrows βοΈβ¨ End of July already. What idea, lesson, discovery, conversation, or moment are you taking with you into August?
One of the things I'm looking forward to most about my first Star Trek convention isn't just the panels or the guests. It's the community. After years of loving Trek, talking Trek, and podcasting about Trek, I finally get to experience it in person. August can't get here soon enough. π
