I understand. You found paradise in Tumblr, you had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. You didn’t need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: “Don Corleone, give me content.” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do shitposts for money.

Leonard was a very dear friend. One extraordinary thing about him I remember: When Star Trek was going to be done as an animated series, they cast Leonard, Bill Shatner, Majel Barrett and Jimmy Doohan only for the voice acting on that. And when he discovered that Nichelle Nicholls and Walter Koenig and I were not cast because of budgetary considerations, he said, Star Trek is about diversity, and if the two people that represent diversity to most, Nichelle and George, then I’m not interested in doing it. … That was an extraordinary thing for an actor, to give up a gig on behalf of other actors. And because Leonard was so necessary to the project, they cast Nichelle and me and offered Walter an opportunity to write a script. He was really an amazing man.

George Takei remembers Leonard Nimoy on CNN (via bandedshadows)

now that i’ve finally stopped crying about this, i just want to make an observation. 

you know how successful white actors keep making jokes about hollywood’s diversity problem? like NPH at the oscars? yeah, that stuff is true & should be pointed out, but… it seems like (white) actors only snark about it, never anything more substantial. (meanwhile everyone else risks jobs, reputations, and even their whole careers if they put up a fuss.)

george & nichelle would have to risk their professional reputations if they’d complained about being left out, AND they were unlikely to succeed by it.

leonard nimoy spoke up because (1) it wasn’t right, and (2) he had more institutionalized power to leverage than either of them. it was a real risk for him too, but far less than for the other two; he clearly understood that, and he used it.

guys, THAT is solidarity. 

cracking jokes about “Hollywhite” might be funny, but it doesn’t do shit. it’s the safest way to signal that you’re totally progressive & down for the cause without actually being for the cause. it has nothing to do with change.

Applause.

$155 worth of comics rolling out in the Humble Transformers Bundle 2 Presented by IDW!

You should buy this.

You should spend LITERALLY ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY and get all of the Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye comic.

It’s pay what you want and you get all of MTMTE that came out before today. 

More Than Meets The Eye features:

- May favorite Science Fiction sub-genre: Assholes in Space - Gay/Queer Robots - Megatron as a Marxist Revolutionary - More-or-less all knowledge needed for a new fan of the series

It is all-around fantastic. RID and the other books that can be bought at higher tiers are also good, but MTMTE is the REALLY good stuff and you owe it to yourself to go for this. Download types include high-quality PDFs, epub and CBZ files.

LET THAT SINK IN 

imagine if we allocated just one year of our military budget to

improving our nations infrastructure

our education system

NASA

We’d have Starfleet soon if it went to NASA

How the hell do you even spend $711 billion on military funding alone.

Fuck everything, this is the most important

In 1998, the UN estimated that we would need $40 billion annually to sustain the entire WORLD population. Not just the US, not North America, the entire planet. This translates to roughly $58 billion today. This would cover housing, food, health care, and a lot more. And we’re spending over 12 times that on military alone in this country. (Source. A breakdown can be found near the end under “Foreign Aid”)
