Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

The world of Gene Roddenberry, which you and the original crew of the NCC-1701 formed many of the bases of my belief structure. That we are each unique, but share more similarities than not, even when scattered amongst the stars.

Thank you all for helping to show us what a future free of bigotry could look like.

(and, having been fortunate enough to meet you with my kids a few years back showed me how genuine you were then, and now, waiting for us all).

Much love from ATX!

@georgetakei
I'd lave loved to have met you at some 'Con'... but paying $200 just to shake your hand (and knowing that your agent, PA, and the venue took so much that you barely got $20 ) annoyed me.

I'd have rather taken you to dinner after to a nice place (not some buffet) paid $200 advance, and asked the waiter to tell us when it was used up. Then I'd pay more until you had a happy smile on your face... and have an Uber gently help you back to your room.

God Bless You, Mr. Takei!

(And I am so very sorry for the friends you have lost...)

@georgetakei An honor to serve with you and this amazing crew on starship earth! In some weirdly inexplicable way this humble TV show changed and inspired countless lives all over the planet.
Just hearing the first few notes of the Star Trek anthem gives me chills and goose bumps - and sometimes tears in my eyes, when the world outside seems to slide rather backwards than forward.
Thank you! For the hope of and glimpse into a better future! A vision dearly needed, especially these days!

@georgetakei I was a child when Star Trek originally aired but, shamefully admitting it, I never watched the series until until in my forties. You guys were a strange bunch of people, but even that part was practically groundbreaking: it was not a "lone hero" environment but an encouragement of group effort.
