Dr. Mae Jemison: 30 Seconds on When An Astronaut Visits Star Trek
“Being on Star Trek was really cool because the first thing you don’t really understand is that the sets are very substantial. I got to hang out with Worf, I got to meet Riker and all these kinds of things. It was a very cool experience because in many ways it was coming full circle.
As a little girl I watched Star Trek, I knew that looking at Nichelle Nichols as Lieutenant Uhura, someone was connecting my idea of space and now I got to come back around and help to verify that yes this happens” (video)

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!
an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.
“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
