Sulari Gentill, an Australian writer, has a mystery series with Rowland Sinclair as the protaganist. The stories are mysteries, but they are really about the threat of fascism and the way the leaders and wealthy of Australia, England and elsewhere downplayed the risk.
On a recent Star Trek cruise, George Takei stood on a stage & talked about his life for an hour, beginning with his family's WWII internment... he's hugely intelligent and has spent his whole life fighting for human rights. He knows what he's talking about.
That same week, Walter Koenig talked about his life, too; I just wish Nichelle Nichols had been able to be there... finding out that people you've admired for their work on an old TV show are exceptional human beings is more inspiring than I knew.
You are very lucky indeed! 💖 He was always one of my favorites from Star Trek but he has continued to be a hero in real life for democracy and our LGBTQ+ rights!
He and Mark Hamill have been such an amazing support to all of us here.
And they are both very personable, extending the personable approach whenever possible. (((💙)))

You got to meet Mr. Sulu? How does that work and is Mr. Sulu open to meeting anyone? What about the lone old guy that has very few friends and/or connections to important people?
Federal government doesn't
Resign it's illegal. Do not
Fall for the Bullshit musk is
lying and Don't quit cause you definitely won't have a leg to stand on!
I have hope we will defeat it , it’s the how, a revolution? Because I’m old disabled and can’t get very far but will try my best to pull them out by their ears
I woke up this morning and read about the Earthquake in the Caribbean. I thought about Mr. Takei because I knew he said he was on a Comicon Cruise - and you are too! Enjoy the Cruise. Lucky! I'm jealous 😊 lol

Podcasts aren't enough guys. Sorry
@georgetakei.bsky.social if I asked pretty, pretty please, could I get one too? That message resonates just as much in Canada as it does in the US!

There Back!
In 5 months we will all be slaves or dead.
Not these people.
At least our side has an expert at the helm.
Lucky you!
