You guys, I’m kinda stoked that Lucy Liu is Watson as opposed to Sherlock if just because of the fact that Watson is coded as the more human character of the two. It will be difficult to “other” Watson, that character is a fan favorite and is supposed to be universally relatable, it will be nice to see a WOC fill that role. Sherlock is the lead, but, there are a thousand different...
I think long-form writing is something I stopped doing all-together when I dropped out of college, because it was so hard, and there’s so much bullshit associated with it. Getting started is fucking difficult, the research is so hard, and you only really hit your flow when you’ve done all this horrible painful gruntwork. I look at writing like I do exercise… you grudgingly work...

Blackface.
anedumacation:
I was going to write a parody of the justifications that people are putting forward for Billy Crystal’s blackface yesterday — “oh, its a tribute! Its not racist!” — by writing a similar justification for Fred Astaire’s turn in blackface in 1936, when he made Swing Time.
That’s Fred Astaire dressed up as Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. Astaire meant it to be a tribute to an artist he...
I think I need to train myself to write longer posts.
The post on blackface yesterday started out entitled, “fuck you, you fucking fucks”, and was about half profanity
and then I ended up writing for an hour or two, and it became much less angry and much more substantive.
Tumblr makes me press the publish button too quickly, I never really take the time to reread what I write, I...

– Ta-Nehisi Coates (x)
That one sentence right there sums up TNC’s entire blog.
I have gone from being slightly apprehensive of Lucy Liu as Watson to being so excited I can’t breathe.

I didn’t really read anon’s comment as an excuse? I thought they were just talking about things they find harder to combat… maybe I’m missing something.

Yes exactly. Following people to hate on how utterly crap they are.
I also sometimes read the blogs of people I don’t like, because….. just because.
Anonymous asked: Post a picture of yourself
Anonymous asked: I guess I can see where you're coming from? Sort of. I can only assume that it's like why it'd be annoying if any other minority group was hating on another minority group. The homophobic fangirl thing is really hard to combat in my experience though, since to them it's like there's nothing wrong being done. Then again, I guess you can say the same about misogynistic gay...

Motherfuck! I sat down an hour and a half ago to check my dash, and I was planning to watch a movie on netflix
And I ended up on tumblr for over an hour.
When tumblr prevents you from /wasting time/ efficiently, you know you have a problem.

Nah, you didn’t miss anything. Just a mini-rant that’s been taking a long time to build up. No specific trigger.
feoplepeel asked: I think Lucy Liu will make a great Watson. My biggest is that Watson had her medical license taken from her, which is completely different than no longer being able to serve and still being able to be a doctor. Blah blah, power taken from her and blamed on her mistake instead of external forces like being shot because WOMEN IN THE ARMY? WHAT? I feel like the descriptions are just weird. Like,...

Side-eye to anyone dismissing the cbs Sherlock because they don’t want a remake of the bbc version
Its /Sherlock Holmes/
Are you /fucking kidding me/
It was remade with /mice/
It can bloody well be set in new york, and its high time we fucked with gender, a little.

wraparoundcurl replied to your post: I don’t even know how to react to Lucy Liu as Watson
I love her. But now I just want a female Sherlock cast.
1. I’m so fucking excited for female John
2. I’m so fucking excited that a woman of color was cast
3. It boggles the mind that Sherlock will be male and John will be female — the gay romance has been at the heart of the story...

I thought I was the only one with a Dean/Seamus OTP!
Aren’t they beautiful together??
Seriously, every time Seamus looks at Dean it makes my heart hurt. He loves him so much. So much.

Sometimes I wish I was still ignorant.
Like, I used to have all sorts of internalized racist crap going on. It made it strange to exist, but it made getting along with white people really fucking easy.
Now it takes a toll, it really does.

I’m fucking tired, to be honest.
Can’t even relax with the oscars, can’t turn the damn tv on, can’t do shit without being confronted with BLATANT racism. Everywhere. Its not even that its racist, its that no one will care, the next day. It’ll be a minor controversy, but the chorus that’s gonna rise to the defence of the artistically racist provocateur is gonna...

the blackface destroyed the little desire i had to watch this shit. granted, billy crystal did that character in the ’70s/’80s on SNL. however, 30+ years later, that shit is pretty lame and people are going to have an issue with it.
