2025 is the year I activated.
I joined the Colorado Chapter of The Wildlife Society's Conservation Affairs Committee.
I joined the board of Friends of Loveland Public Library.
I coordinated with scientists and legislators to propose legislation that has a real chance of seeing a vote in 2027.

Unexpected places.
Interesting places.
Inconvenience places.
But there's no escaping the glitter.

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

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:

Any name including "Ann" is such a powerhouse author name in speculative fiction.
Ann Leckie
Annalee Newitz
Anne McCaffrey
Even the "N" in N.K. Jemisin kinda sounds like Ann.
