misterjmasters:
So to this point I’ve only rambled about this but I felt it was a complicated enough issue to full on state my point of view on what’s going on here.
First of all, I am a fan of BBC’s Sherlock. And I can appreciate the fact that no matter how innovative CBS thinks they’re being, they’re trying to feed off the success of another country’s endeavors by using ideas they did not...
Watson: a post for those arguing that this is...
When you take away a character’s roots they are not the same character.
Think about you. Think about your life. Take a major decision or a major focus and now remove it. Change it. Maybe to something similar, maybe not. Think about what would change about your character.
If I had remained an English major, or gone into diplomacy, or even taken a different path to the same career...

– Excerpt from an email I got today from the Gay and Lesbian Task Force. It goes on to detail their work and views in regard to racial justice; statistics regarding transgender and gender non-conforming individuals; and elaboration on how this and race intersect for even higher risk of ostracism,...

It sincerely bothers me when people sandwich mourning of some young people with comments on brightness or talent and that they “had a bright future ahead of” them while completely overlooking others. It’s right up there with using only a certain caliber of young person as an example that those certain groups of people can be functional.
A person does not have more value because...
It's two in the morning. I could be sleeping.
Or I could be sitting up, watching Chopped, eating Trefoils, debating Sherlock Holmes adaptations, and drawing oddly anime-styled MLP fanart.
Look at your life choices. Evaluate. Repeat until you GO TO BED WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU.

I have never been so glad to see someone Chopped...
I would have preferred that his obnoxious arse been chopped immediately, but hey, it was worth it for him to tell the last other contestant (who said it could go either way) that he would have to pry the $10k from his cold dead fingers and the camera that he was running on sheer ego because now all of his friends and family and all of America would see that he is in fact truly the greatest ever...

These ideas are just wonderful. I want to WRITE like that.
So let me get this straight:

Watson will be female.
Sherlock will not.
Implying that the sidekick can be a woman but the main hero cannot.
Watson will not be a war veteran.
Implying women cannot be war veterans.
Watson will not be injured formally.
Cause injuries aren’t sexy.
Watson will be a doctor but a disgraced doctor.
Because if Watson’s a woman she will be a fuck up somehow.

dgblackout asked: Hi, I think you should check out the other two posters made for that ad campaign, both feature men. I've got links and such on my blog if you want to check it out. I'm not being hostile, I'm just pointing it out. I think this has really been taken out of context by whoever posted it to begin with.

Santorum Makes Case for Religion in Public Sphere →
“That makes me throw up,” [Santorum] said, adding later, “I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.”
…
“The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country,” Mr. Santorum said.
I…just…what? I mean…I...

…but I am currently trying to figure out how to respond to an apparent future educator who believes that depression is not a mental illness, that it is alright to condemn suicide, and that one can overcome not only severe depression but also “severe mental retardation” if one wants to badly enough (they brought that last one into the picture independently) because they personally...

The internet is a very small place.
Also, it’s partly BBC Sherlock’s fault. It makes life awesome.

It’s also got some elements of pop-art in there! Love it :D :D The pencils in the foreground add a lot of dynamism? Is that the fancy word Im looking for? Anyway, it WORKS! Awesome stuff, girlie :D
Aaaaaaaaah, thank you!
Honestly, the reason I did it the way I did was because it’s just so FUN, and a sort...

Both, with pride, for decades.
Sherlockian since I was nine years old, Whovian on and off (because of availability/time lapses, not like or dislike) since high school! Jelly baby, anyone?

My studio mate has been working like a mad woman on this comic. She has script, she has panels, she has ideas that are exploding out of her brain and she has worries, hopes and dreams.
She also has a fundraising campaign:

Which you should definitely consider contributing something to, or at least reblogging the link.
As you...
Has anyone seen that 60NewAmerica commercial?
For some reason it triggers my anxiety really badly. I don’t know why. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it — something about it makes me twitch and next thing I know I’m in a jumpy, paranoid panic.
And yet I never seem to look up at just the right time to turn the tv off or mute it or change the channel or…something.
