Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura at the Enterprise communications station for the first time. According to Gooding, she was not aware the character she was auditioning for was Uhura: "Honestly, I don't know if I would have booked it if I knew, because I would have probably over-committed to an Uhura we already know. I would have done the smart actor thing and studied the character, but I would have had a difficult time knowing her future and leaving her outside of the audition space – because Uhura, as a character, doesn't know what her future looks like. It was genius, to sort of hoodwink me a little bit. It was for the benefit of everyone involved that I didn't know. I would have probably gotten a little too into it and hindered myself from being able to share with the showrunners what I could bring to this role."

Last night I did a little digging on the dates of my great-grandparents' marriage & a family story. Apparently she had a miscarriage & undoubtedly fearful of being turned back, they threw the remains overboard. I discovered that they were married only 5 days before their departure to America.

I know I’ve said it already, but it feels like some terrible mistake that I can’t spend all day with my kitten. We need paid kitten leave.

It is every cat’s sacred duty to be as annoying as possible while being completely endearing at the same time.

My mother. Today was her birthday, she would have been 101. Today is also San Jacinto Day. Growing up in Houston, we were always out of school on San Jacinto Day.

It’s been 10 years since we lost this musical genius. #Prince. 💙💜

The Separation of Church and State cannot exist under a Christian White Nationalist regime.

This new White House “initiative” is proof of that devastating fact.

I'm not an investor so I really don't care how much money a movie makes. I go to the movies to have fun, and if I don't, I move on. If I don't want to see a movie, I don't. A crazy concept.

Did you enjoy Jane Eyre?

Her first #novel was rejected, and the next one changed #literature. She had to hide behind a man’s name, Currer Bell, because a woman writer in the 1840s could be dismissed before anyone had even read the first page.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF BOSTON 👸

Sharon Lokedi DOMINATES the final 5K of the 2026 Boston Marathon, locking up her second-straight title in 2:18:51.

From Mile 23 to the finish, Lokedi split a mind-blowing 15:36, including a 4:36 split in Mile 24. The next finisher was 44 seconds behind.😱

Tell that to the thousands of species genocided by the Borg in the Delta Quadrant and elsewhere. If a species causes that much suffering for billions and billions of sentinent beings, at some point it becomes a moral imperative to stop with any means necessary.

Also, the Borg still exist, they just took away their ability to threaten the whole Milkyway.

Star Trek is fiction. People aren't coming away from the Borg's destruction in a science fiction show and concluding it's ok to genocide Palestinians, any more than shooting zombies in The Last of Us makes them think that. Get a grip.
