Words in @io9, @Empire, @Babbel, @georgiastraight, @digitalspy... etc.
I talk about Star Trek a lot. Sometimes I'm paid for it.

"There’s something very uncomfortable about all these tales, in which a woman went up against the #StarTrek boys’ club — and her character was killed or shoved out"

In the Vancouver arts world, sometimes you have to ask for forgiveness, not permission according to David Duprey, Owner of Narrow Group.

It was super fun to put this piece together! I'm obsessed with Duprey's maverick business tactics — and he's created so many awesome spaces in Vancouver! Excited to see what he does next.

Great article @georgiastraight @ExtraTremeerial
People like Duprey are what this city needs more of.
Hopefully it inspires more creativity and rulebreaking.

With challenges the creative scene faces in Vancouver, it’s hard for anything to grow up.

@extratremeerial dives into how Vancouver views art not as a social need but a profit venture, and how any effort to sell your art will also come at a price.

A landmark space celebrating queer joy in Vancouver is about to be demolished. For many LGBTQ2S+ people, this old industrial site feels like home. The Warehouse's community isn't going anywhere, but what's next is uncertain. Read more: https://t.co/3hQ3ZzsOdm

The Warehouse felt like home to me, so I wrote about its closure for @georgiastraight. This is a dire warning for Vancouver: if the city doesn't take steps to protect marginalised populations soon, they'll be pushed out for good. https://t.co/pnGQUiUFmM

no one is “born bi,” you watch Scooby-Doo at a formative age and the whole cast turns you bi

@Clypeasteroida it was this year!

[Eleanor Tremeer 🌈 @ExtraTremeerial]

Happy 25th anniversary Stargate! SG-1 showed us that if we stepped out into the stars now, we would not fail but thrive— and that's a story we need today.

Thanks @bradtravelers @iamchrisjudge @amandatapping Ben Browder, Robert C Cooper for your thoughts!

Had a BLAST discussing Chosen Ones in Scifi for @radionz. I talked about Dune a lot, but not as much as I wanted to 😅🏜 And yes I have opinions about Sisko as the Emissary. I love DS9 but they really jumped the shark with that by the end 💅

Had a lovely time at the Festival of Lights last night despite the rain, with @ExtraTremeerial, @UncannyKari, @jess_giang, @marysuewriter, and @scribblechris

[Eleanor Tremeer 🌈 @ExtraTremeerial]

I helped make a movie!! We made it to the finals of #rng21 and you can watch a live screening of the event here. Look out for Red Tape! https://t.co/EoHlmUMKPf

[Eleanor Tremeer 🌈 @ExtraTremeerial]

My latest @radionz segment is up! Host Bryan Crump and I chat about whether scifi's portrayal of climate change is helping to raise awareness, or shocking us into a sense of apathy... https://t.co/CGuk1dHsnH

[Eleanor Tremeer 🌈 @ExtraTremeerial]

Has scifi made you feel more apathetic about climate change, or has it motivated you to do something about it? We'll be chatting about this on @radionz Nights next Monday (or Sunday, depending on your timezone!) and I'd love to know your thoughts...

In our latest podcast, we ask: why do queer people love tarot? 🏳‍🌈🃏 Join Kathryn Briggs (New Chapter Tarot) and our editor @extratremeerial for a lively conversation on tarot symbolism, the queer experience, and why no-one has made a girlboss tarot yet. https://t.co/3PFTeJG96J

[Hold Fast Network @holdfastnetwork]

The latest episode of Light At The Crossroads sees @ExtraTremeerial and @withryn have a chat about queerness and tarot, particularly in relation to the New Chapter Tarot, out now from @Liminal_11

They, and yes as in plural. As in I contain multitudes which cannot be condensed into a single word. Gender is a constantly shifting kaleiscope so yes, when you say they, you're referring to all of me — and yet none of me at the same time.

[Eleanor Tremeer 🌈 @ExtraTremeerial]

Pronoun preferences: she, but not as in a female person. As in the way that sailors call their boats she. As in the way that gay people refer to inanimate objects and people they're shading as she.

[Eleanor Tremeer 🌈 @ExtraTremeerial]

He, but not as in a male person. As in the strange neutral voice that academics take when describing the agent in a particularly annoying thought experiment. I'm not a man, I'm the person your maths textbook warned you about.
