Did you know today is National Cat Day? It’s a day that encourages adoption, spoiling our feline friends (yes, even more than usual), and of course, posting lots of cat pics! Admittedly, that last part’s an every day thing for some of us, but you know what we mean. 😸

This needs to change. Making sure the voices of PWLE are heard is an important step in the right direction, but it’s only the first step.

25 years ago, countless first responders made the ultimate sacrifice. On 9/11/2001, public, private, & volunteer agencies came together in the ultimate time of need & saved well over 25,000 lives. Many lost their own as a result. We will never forget their sacrifices and courage.

We’d like to note that today would also be our late founder, James Fedora Mandeville’s 45th birthday. For a general sci-fi nerd, not to mention a lifelong Trekkie, there's likely not a better day to have been born on. We wish Fedora were here to celebrate with us today.

Happy Star Trek Day! 60 years ago today, the original series premiered on US television, and sci-fi history was made.

Have a favorite Star Trek series or character? Are you celebrating today by creating fanart or donning your best Trek cosplay? Show us in the comment section!
