i tooted out yesterday an off-hand comment about how i was enjoying #TheExpanse because they actually have to deal with things like g-forces (quite realistic compared to my usual #StarWars-style #SciFi), and it spawned a two-day long multi-branch conversation between at least a dozen people including (but not limited to) Bussard ramjets, fusion reactors, socio-economic analyses of science fiction politics, the list goes on.
Attempted #Introduction. Interests and things I post:
I’m the world’s most boring archaeologist. I boost #archaeology stuff but rarely post my own.
Immigrant and dual citizen :US:/ 🇧🇪.
TV obsessions: #TheExpanse, #Babylon5, #TwinPeaks. Have a lot to say about #StarTrek also.
Video #games: wide variety, but biggest obsessions have been rpgs and city builders.
Food pics, flower pics, selfies.
Love custom emoji. I am :bisexual_flag:, kinda :aromantic_flag:, kinda :ace:, and :autism:.
Now that The Expanse is finished, I wanted to go behind the scenes and explain how they created the best space show of the last decade. Of course, I start with design and concept art!
Here's my interview with Lee Fitzgerald devoted to Season 2!
I'm Melanya. My friend @belmikey introduced me to #TheExpanse and I fell for it hard. I've been active in the #ScreamingFirehawks Fandom since Oct 2018, when I joined Twitter so I could geek about and in #LangBelta. I have my BA in #Linguistics -- which comes in handy. I'm also a moderator on the Discord Expanse Server. I'm a mom. Love #SciFi & #fantasy. Lots of hobbies have I 🙂
Started reading The Expanse novels before they were partly turned into the TV series, then held off finishing them until I'd picked up the entire series in paperback. A few months ago I started the big old re-read and completion, and that's come to its conclusion this morning. So, so good. Incredible scale, fantastic politics, great characters, believable science, unbelievable science, humour, staggering action; it's got the lot.
Made these "mag boot" lights inspired by #TheExpanse to keep me visible when walking around traffic. Could also work for when on a bicycle/motorcycle/scooter. What do you think?

More than a little envious that my #SpaceRocks compadres are down in Bordeaux this week, along with Steven Strait (aka Holden from #TheExpanse), who’s taking a trip on the Novespace Air Zero-G plane today, & a crew of fellow astronauts from ESA.
And as on the Rocinante, a good cup of coffee is needed to start the day 🙂👍
it doesn't look like it, but a moment ago she was playing with her grandkid, chasing and tickling them and now she's on her way to interrogate a man she ordered to torture for twenty hours because he refused to talk. #TheExpanse@sapphicarchive

Looking to start new series for the coming year (second poll). Can you help me out #Bookstodon? Because you can only have for poll topics on Mastodon, this is the second poll asking for recommendations. I'll take the top two from both polls and do a final four poll. Go to the comments for a link to the first poll.
This code is REALLY nicely written with discrete entities and systems for modeling the math needed for a convincing depiction
So I tore it apart to build a hologram inspired by #TheExpanse’s opening titles and futuristic 3D UI design, with hundreds of ships swarming the planet marked with their transponder codes
