Rest In Peace, Nichelle. You were a pioneer not only on TV, but for promoting women and women of color at NASA! You will be greatly missed.
Nichelle Nichols has passed away.
Martin Luther King once convinced her to continue on as Uhura when she was about to quit. He told her how she was a role model for so many people and had to stay on. He rightfully recognized her as a trailblazer and the inspiration she continued to be.
(Second picture is Nichols participating in a recruitment program for NASA in late 70s/early 80′s, aimed at women and people of color. The third picture is Nichols onboard the stratospheric observatory for infrafred astronomy in 2017, as one of the first non essential personell to be able to do so)
Don't be discouraged. People follow only to get follows back. Same with Instagram...Keep showing Chris Pine and I'll certainly follow forever!!!!!
Keep losing followers :(
Noooooooooo!
why do i stan a trio of eggs
Actually, the original script is much better!
Not reassurance, confirmation.
Kirk needing Spock’s reassurance of their friendship.
Me too! He really was born to play James T. Kirk. His new role in Hello or High Water should be career-changing for him, much like Star Trek made him the Allister he deserves
I just really love Chris Pine.
These may be very comfy, but are they ugly! Wayfair has some really well designed pieces...just not these
The NRA is a blight on this earth. Period!
If waking up Monday to news of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history left you feeling angry or devastated, there’s a solution: take action.
1. Donate Blood
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement saying that residents should donate blood to the more than 400 people wounded when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire from his hotel room late Sunday.
Specifically, United Blood Services is set to start taking donations at 7 a.m. local time at 6930 West Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas or 601 Whitney Ranch Drive in Henderson. The University Medical Center of Southern Nevada is also preparing to launch a blood drive Monday at the Delta Point Building, though the exact time of that event has not yet been announced.
There are also prescheduled American Red Cross blood drives taking place at the SpringHill Suites Las Vegas Convention Center at 2989 Paradise Road and Ernest May Elementary School at 6350 West Washburn Road.
2. Donate Money
Not in the area? Consider giving money to the Southern Nevada chapter of the American Red Cross, which accepts donations on its website, by phone at 702-369-3674 or via mail at 1771 East Flamingo Road, #206B, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89119.
You can also support the National Compassion Fund, which directly distributes donations from the public to victims of a mass crime. The fund has previously partnered up with the relatives of victims of disasters like 9/11 and the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and vows to be transparent in how it handles the money it collects.
3. Call Your Representatives
After you’ve written a check, make your voice heard politically, as well. Call your representative and talk to him or her about gun laws both in your state and nationwide. The House of Representatives’ switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.
In Nevada, for example, gun owners don’t have to have licenses and can open carry their firearms without a permit. Nationally, the House of Representatives is weighing legislation that would ease up on rules concerning gun silencers, which law enforcement officers argue could make it harder to identify the suspect during mass shootings.
If you want to change that, find the phone number for your representatives and senators here and let them know what you think. Your actions may ultimately do more to help victims of future attacks than lawmakers’ tweeted thoughts and prayers.
If you believe gun laws are too lax, get in touch with groups like Everytown for Gun Safety and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The National Rifle Association advocates for fewer gun restrictions.
And Chris Pine should have been nominated for Best Actor!
Actor Ben Foster, winner of the Best Supporting Male award for ‘Hell or High Water,’ poses in the press room during the 2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards at the Santa Monica Pier on February 25, 2017 in Santa Monica, California.
Think this is terrible. Where are his representatives? They should be banging the drums loudly for him.
Chris isn’t getting snubbed for HOHW, he’s getting pretty much forgotten. :(
The 4th one needs this cast. They are so right-on. Frankly an old Picard is not for me.
Y’all aren’t making me feel anti-Tarantino. You are, however, steadily squashing my cautious enthusiasm that maybe, just maybe, we will get another film made with the current cast.
