THIS MOMENT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD
TELL EM MARTHA
TELL THAT WHITE BITCH WHAT’S GOOD
I desperately miss this Doctor, but not that skinny white asshole she was always hanging around with.
"Okay, so we held this most amazing party on a boat in Sydney Harbour by the Bridge. It was out of this fucking world, so beautiful, one of the best nights, like, ever. But this kid from one of the other bands, Thunderbirds Are Now, kept saying, ‘Where’s the fucking vagina at this party?’ He was such a dick. Then he started moaning that there were too many dykes on our boat. I was like, ‘Well, there’s so many dykes because we’re fucking dykes. You know that the band you’re touring with is two-thirds dyke don’t you?’ He was so negative and disrespectful about women, I was like, ‘Oh wait, you just wait boy.’ When he thought I’d calmed down, I quietly went off to drink two whole bottles of red wine really fucking quickly. When I was full to the brim, I snuck up behind him and stuck my fingers right down my throat. This absolute fucking ocean of bright red wine puke just flew out of me and all over him. I drenched the poor kid head to toe. I’ve got to say it fucking ruled. Won’t be acting like that again, will you, young man."

“Uhura” comes from the Swahili word UHURU meaning “freedom”. Uhura was pretty much the first ever black main character on American television who was not a maid or a domestic servant in 1966. TV network NBC refused to let Nichelle Nichols be a regular, claiming Deep South affiliates would be angered, so Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry hired her as a “day worker,” but still included her in almost every episode. She actually made more money than any of the other actors through this workaround, and it was kept secret from the other actors, but it was still a humiliating second-class status. The network people made life hard for Nichols, constantly trying to pare down her screen time, purposefully dropping racist comments in her presence and even withholding her fan mail from her. This deplorable state of affairs led Nichols to make the decision to quit after the 1st season, but then she happened to meet the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. who pleaded with her to stick with the show because as a Black woman she was portraying the first non-stereotypical role on television.
RE-BLOGGING AGAIN BECAUSE TODAY IS THE 46TH ANNIVERSARY OF STAR TREK AND UHURA IS A BABE AND NICHELLE NICHOLS IS AWESOME!
- after Star Trek was cancelled, she volunteered for a special project with NASA to recruit minority and female personnel for the space agency
- those recruited include: Dr. Sally Ride (the first American female astronaut), United States Air Force Colonel Guion Bluford (the first African-American astronaut), Dr. Judith Resnik and Dr. Ronald McNair (who both flew successful missions during the Space Shuttle program before their deaths in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster), Charles Bolden (current NASA administrator), and Lori Garver (current Deputy Administrator).
- she flew aboard NASA’s C-141 Astronomy Observatory, which analyzed the atmospheres of Mars and Saturn on an eight-hour, high-altitude mission

"On my show ‘Community’, a new script supervisor saw me on set and pulled me aside. With tears in her eyes, she said, “You moved me in ‘The Help’. If I had endured what Minny had, I would have put poo in that pie, too.” I didn’t have the heart to tell her that she had mistaken me for my buddy Octavia Spencer. So I said, “Thank you so much.” Later I texted Octavia that she was making White women cry on the Paramount lot. We had a good laugh."

“Christina was a girl both young and old for her years; she had never shed the breathless curiosity of a child assembling the taxonomy of the universe—what is that? where did that come from? why is that like that and not another way and what is its orientation with every other thing? why? why? why?—and the only person her age she knew who wanted nothing more when she grew up than to be a Russian novelist.”
