The Trashpile

Maker, Researcher, Inter-disciplinary Gremlin

Moria K. Drake

MRES Student, Media Technician, and Technical Writer.I focus on queer representation in media, with my current research tracing the evolution of queerness across the Star Trek franchise from 1966 to the present using the frameworks of Alexander Doty and Mark Lipton.I've worked in television and radio production for over a decade across university media environments, and I'm a queer transgender woman whose lived experience informs my research on fan studies, queer theory, and media representation.

Community‑Funded Streamer, Miniature Painter, and Zine Maker.I run the Trashpile, a cozy‑punk, anti‑capitalist corner of the internet built entirely on community support. No ads, no sponsors, no corporate backing—just good people tossing coins in the bin.I stream painting, video game backlog clearing, and TTRPG content four times a week, and I make system‑neutral zines and GM toolkits for old‑school revival games. I also run a fortnightly open‑table OSE game, where anyone in the community can pull up a seat and roll dice. The workshop is always open.I'm a queer raccoon gremlin making a living outside the machine, and everything I build is funded by the people who believe art shouldn't be locked behind a paywall.
