I’ve come to break my haitus to spot light fundraising for Nichelle Nichols after being abused.
If anyone is left following me, make sure to spread this around, especially to the older star trek fans that may not know this fundraising is happening.
Lets make sure Nichelle Nichols is taken care of in recovery. Our elders cannot be forgotten while they are suffering.
Nichelle Nichols (born Grace Dell Nichols on December 28, 1932)
“For the first time on television we will be seen as we should be seen every day – as intelligent, quality, beautiful people who can sing, dance, but who can also go into space, who can be lawyers, who can be teachers, who can be professors, and yet you don’t see it on television – until now….” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr to Nichelle Nichols
based on a concept i lobbed this morning - chiwetel ejiofor & john boyega as jeeves & wooster, and nichelle nichols as aunt agatha. additionally, but not pictured, richard ayoade as gussie fink-nottle, because obviously.
also @ universe thanks for dancing on the edge but i need way more fancy 30s stuff generally, those lightsabers aren’t doing the aesthetic any favours

OMGOMGOMG
I mean, I lost it at the first gif, and then lost it FOREVER at Nichelle Nichols.
And then I thought of John Boyega playing the banjo and/or trombone and then I lost it all over again.
And tripping over himself trying to get out of marriage proposals–
….OK BUT HEAR ME OUT: Freema Agyeman as Florence Craye.

Black Lives Matter by Farrah Fawcett Via Flickr: “We need LEADERS NOT in love with MONEY BUT in love with JUSTICE. NOT in love with PUBLICITY but IN LOVE with HUMANITY.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Artwork of MLK by Rick Frausto (rickfrausto.com/products/dr-martin-luther-king-jr-drawing). What Black Lives Matter Means (and Why It’s Problematic to Say “All Lives Matter”) Saying that black lives matter doesn’t mean that other lives do not. BY LIZZ SCHUMER Jun 4, 2020 What Does Black Lives Matter Mean? Black Lives Matter is an anthem, a slogan, a hashtag, and a straightforward statement of fact. While it is not a new movement, the message is central to the nationwide protests happening right now. BLM speaks out against the police brutality and systemic racism that caused the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and Breonna Taylor, as well as the thousands of violent incidents that happen to Black people that aren’t recorded, aren’t reported or aren’t afforded the outrage they deserve. At its most basic level, it calls for a shift in the statistics that Black people are twice as likely to be killed by a police officer while unarmed, compared to a white individual. According to a 2015 study, African Americans died at the hands of police at a rate of 7.2 per million, while whites were killed at a rate of 2.9 per million.
