A few days late on these, but

RIP to former Rhode Island Sen. Claiborne Pell. I know that Pell grants, for me at least, have made the difference between being able to afford textbooks (and don't get me started on what a complete racket *that* bunch of nonsense is) and well, not being able to afford them remotely. So, thanks, Senator.

Also RIP Majel Barrett Roddenberry. Oddly, like Bettie Page, she also shaped my performance of gender and sexuality. (Geek, I know.)



I mean, check her out as Number One.

And this, I love it.
