    Default RIP Leonard Nimoy

    I know a lot of us here loved him as Spock, but he was a truly wonderful person with a big heart and a lot of great ideas. He's really going to be missed.

    Live long and prosper, Mr. Spock.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    No way! I never watched many episodes of the original series, but I've always liked his cameos on Futurama.

    I wasn't a huge fan of Star Trek, but I do enjoy the series and have seen the movies and watched several episodes considering my dad was such a big fan of the series. It is still quite sad to see Leonard Nimoy pass away though since I knew he was a fantastic person on and off the screen.

    Yeah, him being such a great person in real life is part of what makes this so hard.

    Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter have seen this, but this was his last tweet:

    It's dated four days ago, so he must have know that it was almost over. Still, I think that's such a beautiful final message to leave behind to the world.

    Jinx and I seem to be sharing social media woes. I'm glad my social media is also upset as that means he really did affect a lot of people.

    I am really upset and sad. I don't get upset over celebs passing but this one has.

    Man I'm almost bawling like a big fat baby over here, this news is awful. Not just Trek, but his cameos in shows like The Simpsons and Futurama, and voicework (Civilization IV especially) was also great, and everything points to him being a genuine, decent, moral man off the screen too.

    Another thing I shared on Facebook. This interview was so important to me at the time he did it, because I was a 16-year-old girl who was battling bulimia because I was bullied for years about my body. I never forgot about it, and it always makes me tear up, but now more than ever.

    Very bummed. He lived a good life, though, and touched a lot of people. Can't ask for much more than that.









    Dammit, still hurts.

    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    We should all post our best attempts at "Spock Hands" (salute) in homage to the dear fellow.
