I love all of the anti-feminists that are posting all kinds of stuff about Leonard Nimoy passing because he was a staunch supporter of feminism and did a bunch of shit I’m sure would have pissed them off so hard if they’d paid attention.
He campaigned for Nichelle Nichols to be paid the same as Takei and Doohan.
He also put out a book called The Full Body Project which featured provocative photos of plus-sized women because he felt Hollywood’s strict beauty ideals for women were bullshit
How much would the anti-sj side of tumblr froth at the mouth if they knew that?
“BUT BUT BUT FAT IS BAD ACKNOWLEDGING THAT FAT WOMEN CAN BE SEXY IS LITERALLY THIN SHAMING OPPRESSIVE SJW BULLSHIT RESTRICTING MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO TELL FAT PEOPLE THEYRE UGLY AND GOING TO DIE TOMORROW.”
I miss Honorary Grandpa Nimoy already. :C
I’ve seen a few tribute posts to Leonard Nimoy going around that use Christian imagery and iconography and while I respect everyone’s right to honor him in their own way I’d like to remind everyone that Leonard Nimoy was Jewish and should be respected and remembered as such. Please try to respect that in any posts, art, or other tributes you may make to his memory. Please don’t erase this part of his identity. Thanks.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.A very touching tribute to Mr. Nimoy with lyrics by LEAH. Ow, my heart </3
These Leonard Nimoy quotes inspired us to boldly go.
Goodbye, our friend.
1931-2015
“Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future. I loved Spock. In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for ‘Live long and prosper.’ And after 83 years on this planet—and on his visits to many others – it’s clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today.” —President Obama
“We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most… human.”
