Nichelle Nichols is one of my heroes for the trail she blazed for women, people of color, and other minorities in her role as Uhura in Star Trek. What I didn't know was how she changed the face of the American space program by recruiting women and people of color for the Shuttle program!
I highly recommend the documentary "Woman in Motion" that tells of her extraordinary contributions to space exploration and our future.
A moment of silent appreciation for the #UnsungHeroes of the Internet this evening. Among their number, this man on YouTube who thoughtfully filmed a video showing how to pack up a cheap Lidl pop-up tent. There are 45 comments below expressly thanking him and 605 👍 on the video.

Happy 90th birthday to our #friend and trailblazing #hero, Dr. #JaneGoodall! 💚
Thank you, Jane, for being a relentless #champion for #animals and our planet. Thank you for showing us how to live in harmony with #nature and each other. Thank you for inspiring so many people (especially the youngest #natur lovers among us) to listen not only to the animals but also to the voice inside us all that whispers: “You can make a difference.”

I've been a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles since I was a kid, and Casey Jones has always been my favorite character. I love his personality, his sense of humor, and his skills.

Family pay tribute to Samuel Newey, who had been volunteering for more than a year against Russian forces:
“I cannot put into words how broken I feel. I also cannot emphasise how proud I am of my little brother. He’d just turned 21 when he decided to answer the call and travel to Ukraine to push back against #Russian#Imperialism.”
