Dear Space Karen,
No thanks.

Where’s the lie? 🤔

Excellently said by @ChuckModi1@twitter.com

When I turned 70, I thought, “Well, that’s it. I’ve had a great career, but it’s winding down.”
Boy, was I wrong. I found social media, and then a second wind at my sails in my 70s! I made my Broadway debut at 78, and I’ll make my London debut at 85.
Life is truly wonderful and magical.

If you’re in London, come see me in Allegiance starting in January. Tix here: https://allegiancemusical.com

🎂 It’s hard for me to admit it. But I need your help. Please follow my soon-to-premier podcast #BookedUp and listen to our trailer.

Let’s prove that I don’t need to be on Twitter to promote the inaugural episode that drops on my birthday — December 4. First guest is Dahlia Lithwick who will talk about LADY JUSTICE, chaos muppets, bobbins, and wearing Ax body spray.

Why I Quit Elon Musk’s Twitter

A profile in the British press on my life and my life’s work. I hope you’ll do me the honor of reading it. At the end, there’s info on how to catch me live on a London stage in “Allegiance” starting in January. https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/star-treks-george-takei-cruelly-28590776

You come across some disturbing things when you browse old newspapers. Case in point is the New York Times Amusements This Evening section from December 30, 1851, where they highlight an exhibition of “Two Living Aztec Children“ at the Society Library.

Later on in 1852, the Times goes in much greater detail about how these two children were kidnapped and then sold in San Salvador to an American and brought to New York City to be exhibited.

The title of this thread is called "Angry Black Women".

On January 20, 2017 this picture was my Facebook avatar. It is Michelle Obama at the inauguration of the 45th president. About a month later, a white female person I know texted me "Can you change your avatar photo, now." Which I did. The following is a selection of the Angry Black Women avatars I used since. These Angry Black Women changed out lives for the better.

To ensure cars didn’t take back control of #Paris streets as the pandemic was “ending” (no, it hasn’t ended), like they have in so many cities, Mayor #AnneHidalgo made sure that 60k parking spaces and many streets were permanently transformed into seating for restaurants, people places and bike-lanes.

Leadership.

I have a thick skin. I’m not unaccustomed to attacks. And I surely don’t mind reasonable people raising opposing views. But the bird app has been swamped with MAGA Republicans determined to drive away progressives with false narratives and ad hominem attack. A dispiriting display of the human condition and a waste of time. Alas.

A white supremacist was at Mar-a-Lago. And then he invited two anti-semites to join him for dinner.

This is what true leadership looks like—when you always speak up for universal human rights because you recognize the inherent humanity in every person. This is yet another example of why @georgetakei is a true leader. ❤️✊🏽

As a human rights lawyer I've worked on religious discrimination issues for decades—including how nations normalize violence against minorities via silence against their dehumanization.

GOP silence at Trump hosting a literal Nazi is devastating for American Jews & US democracy.

I was able to get a good night's sleep and woke with limited pain. I was able to shower by myself and shave!! Granted I love when I have help, but the ability to have a choice in the matter is always preferred. #disabled #smallthings #sofreshandsoclean

WOW. After yesterday's appeal to stand up for DACA recipients, more than 600 people signed this petition. I'm re-upping the appeal to get us past the 1000 signature mark.

DACA recipients need permanent protected status. Dems can deliver. Let's hold them accountable. Thank you for using your voice to speak up.

"Every histrionic warning, every red-faced speech in Congress, every bizarre and creepy and disgusting claim, every threat to life and limb directed at queer people, every bullshit "study" fabricated at the Heritage Foundation -- all of it has been dead wrong."
