LOL! Much appreciated! Seriously, though—if you try nothing else, that Aura Mist is... *chef’s kiss*

One can hope and yes, I wholeheartedly agree. 

I think every Star Trek fanboy or fangirl who has ever paid for a picture with her (and I’m sure it’s in the thousands) should have to give a dollar to this. This type of abuse happened to Stan Lee before he died and it’s sickening that people like this should attract these scummy vultures cashing in on their…

I share your reservations, and after reading that link you shared, it casts even more doubt that blindly giving money without knowing more about the issue is going to solve her problems.

My sympathies to her and all the elderly population that are taken advantage of by evil, soulless people out there.

Fucked up but not surprising, I’ve heard a lot of horror stories from elderly people that live in homes like that (their things being taken, money being stolen, etc) and no one believes them or cares because they’re old. Really terrible and I believe her 100 %

Utterly fucking vile. Nichelle Nichols is a goddamn legend.  Really rooting for the family on this one, my great-aunt was the victim of elder abuse and it literally enrages me to hear about.

There’s a lot going on here. This woman IS a national treasure, but I’d need to know way more about this situation before donating money - like who, exactly, is the money going TO. This is bad, and it’s a damn shame Americans aren’t more active in the lives of older parents. Also I found this https://www.crimeonline.co…

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Humans can be so horrible. May she find safety and peace. And may those that have caused her harm get what they deserve.

Shatner had better contribute. You know Nimoy would and Takei almost certainly already has. I’m headed to the site now. Dementia’s a fucker and Nichelle is an icon.

The best way to raise money would probably be to put this out on whatever large Star Trek fan sites or whatever are out there because as we all know Star Trek fans are VERY loyal and I have no doubt would pitch in in HUGE numbers. BTW- she still looks pretty great for her age.

Damn it. All the best to Ms. Nichols, who deserves peace and respect in her twilight.

There is a special place in Hell for those who abuse and take advantage of our senior citizens.  

Ran into her in the Red Carpet Club in Denver many years ago. She was so kind and sweet to chat with. Absolutely a wonderful woman.

She is an icon. She broke barriers previously unconsidered by Black women. She should be honored and protected at all cost. Taking care of seniors with dementia takes a lot of work and compassion. If a person means well but are not up to the job, they should do their best to seek assistance from other family members,…

Anyone harming her will have a large army of geeks like the world has never seen before coming after them looking for blood.

Can someone explain to me how, in a state like California, adult children with some evidence of financial elder abuse, breach of fiduciary duty (this one is a big deal), fraud, and unjust enrichment (among other charges) would need to fund raise to get justice?

Could this please be crossposted to io9?  Lots of fans of her there as well.  Thanks!

Michaela explaining how she’d found the humor in the darkest times reminded me of my time in the hospital waiting for the rape kit. Two of my adult daughters came with me, and while waiting for the nurse to come back and start testing for DNA, desperate for something to talk about other than why we were there, I asked…

Everything Michaela Coel creates astounds me.

This show is so nuanced, raw, and wonderful... I’m obsessed.
