molly hooper and river song: the only women who...
I posted earlier today about being really upset by the whole latest round of reblogs of “The Real Woman? Why Molly Hooper is the One Who Counts”, an article heroizing Molly Hooper as written in the BBC Sherlock, and I’ve been struggling to explain why. Surely, it’s okay for people to have heroes, no matter how secondary their roles are? Of course it is, says the person...

Dear everyone remotely connected to Jezebel:
TRIGGER WARNING. LOTS OF TRIGGER WARNING.
anedumacation:
Now would be a great time to resign in protest.
What they just did, which was, let me remind you, posting screencaps of a woman’s rape that was uploaded to youtube, that goes so far beyond the pale of human decency….
I cannot believe they thought this was okay simply because they hid the identity of the woman.
There are survivors on...

note to self:
next time you think that telling someone you love how you feel when they abruptly stop being friends with you via lack of contact, that this will somehow bring you closure because you’ve never told the others, you’ve never told someone how much it hurts, remember:
SHUT UP JESUS JUST SHUT UP
you don’t get the last word, and that last word will not make you feel better.

I tell you, it couldn’t be truer: our language has gone down the sewer. So please be pedantic, and learn the semantic distinction between “less” and “fewer”.

classifying-bitchcraft:
to the layperson, this argument seems inconsequential (and that’s because it is). To the layperson, they read the Creature as Frankenstein because of derivatives of the latter because the sympathy to the Creature have been prescribed in our culture due to the fear and respect and the subsequent familiarity due to the accessibility to the Creature in our mainstream...

thesizeissue:
I’m sure many of us have bitched, ranted and cursed about the pure fatphobia that is the lack of plus size lines in the stores of people that have them. This kind of move says “while I’d really like your dollar, I’d hate to see you in here with all the socially acceptable people” and it’s simply not okay, especially in an economy like this. While boycotting these labels might be...

These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep these evil companies raking in the green. Prepare to be disgusted.
I don’t think the list is in any particular order. Even if you don’t...

Multiculturalism for Steampunk is starting up a weekly art challenge, and it looks promising. SO EXCITED. I’ve had a bunch of ideas for non-Western steampunk outfits floating around in my head, and it’s nice actually having a weekly deadline to motivate me to finish some of them. This is pretty subtle in its steampunkery (read: no extranneous metal...
