ericafailsatlife: Well, the Baby’s First Mythos Kickstarter is fully funded so I’ve added some stretch goals. I’ve decided to illustrate comic adaptations of the series of short stories that make up Herbert West: Reanimator. With every 5k we earn, I’ll do another comic of one of the six stories in the Herbert West series and every backer will get a digital copy. Check out the stretch goals here: STRETCH GOALS! See the Kickstarter here: CHECK OUT THE CAMPAIGN!

sigridhr: secretcervix: deejaybird: “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 Just for the record, Whoopi Goldberg started acting because she watched Nichelle Nichols growing up and it was the first time she’d ever seen a black woman in a position of power on TV. She asked for and received a role on Star Trek: The Next Generation as tribute to her admiration of Nichols.

- 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

Just for the record, Whoopi Goldberg started acting because she watched Nichelle Nichols growing up and it was the first time she’d ever seen a black woman in a position of power on TV. She asked for and received a role on Star Trek: The Next Generation as tribute to her admiration of Nichols.
