Working on a book dummy in preparation for attending the scbwi winter conference. I started this two years ago at the Saltonstall parent residency.

The text reads "Episode #268 of the It's Got Star Trek podcast: Upper Decks and Fissure Quest" superimposed over an image from each of those episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks: Rutherford, Tendi, Bearded Boimler, Mariner, and T'Lyn sitting around a table in the mess hall carving pumpkins, the front of Mariner's uniform is covered in paint; a Defiant-class ship rests in a yellow-brown bog.

New episode posted! Prepare yourselves for a jam-packed, double-stuffed discussion of both "Upper Decks" and "Fissure Quest" as we tearfully wend our way towards the rapidly-approaching conclusion of #StarTrekLowerDecks. Available everywhere, now! 🖖

Man, the complete change of trajectory (now abandoned) I gave this site is still probably the thing I’m most proud of in the Work For Other People part of my career 🖖🏾

America is built on complaining about administrative burdens.
Declaration of Independence:
“He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.”
