    I almost listed a few of his activism and fundraising initiatives, but then I thought: If this person doesn’t think a nearly 90 year old gay man, who survived an internment camp, has seen some shit and has some wisdom to share, I probably won’t be the one to open their eyes.

      That’s very cute of you, but I did say I also love George Takei. I know he has wisdom to share. I just don’t think this is useful right now.

        So if not tweeting about it, WTF are you expecting from him? Be specific.

          Tweeting is fine. Advice in the tweets would be nice. And I’m not expecting anything from him at all. It’s good of him to chime in.

        People can do multiple things. Like post and organize mutual aid. Or post and engage in activism. Or write a comment and think.
