Link please!
Murderous, Co-Dependent by rageprufrock
For the record, rageprufrock also wrote my favourite Merlin fic ever, called “Drastically Redefining Protocol”. This particular kitten fic was recced to me by tardis-stowaway, who is an awesome person.

The Marriage Prop

We wanted to run something on Prop 8, as it’s called, one of the most notorious miscarriages of democracy in the ongoing disaster that is our state’s referendum system. Audrey Bilger, who teaches Victorian literature at Claremont McKenna College and who has closely followed the passage of the proposition and the legal...

Sudden thought that occurs
Okay so
over the weekend I was at Gallifrey One. Which is a really fun convention.
And on the last night, Toby Haynes (director of many Doctor Who episodes and also Sherlock’s Reichenbach Fall) came up to our group of ladies and hung out with us (HE APPROACHED US; IT WAS AMAZING) and bought us all drinks and stuff (I wasn’t planning on having another drink, actually, but then Toby...

weasleyboys replied to your photoset: Sir Godric Gryffindor found a sword on the ground….
Did you pose that? Or was he just being himself? :)
He was totally just being himself. The sword was left out on the floor after one of our parties or something. Godric saw it and was like, “I Shall Lay Here And Claim This Sword As Mine”. And I was like “OMG ADORBS” and took a...

iwillthinkofanewurllater replied to your post: That Thing I Wrote is on my dash again
ahhhsorry D:
NO. IT’S GOOD. NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE AT ALL. SPREAD AT YOUR DISCRETION ALWAYS. It makes me feel good that people think it’s worth spreading, you know?
That Thing I Wrote is on my dash again
IT’S WEIRD TO ME EVERY TIME.
I MEAN, GOOD. BUT WEIRD.
LIKE.
OH.
ANOTHER 3,000 PEOPLE HAVE READ THAT THING.
THAT I WROTE.
For the record, the first time I wrote That Thing (though it was edited slightly to be made into a post), it was written as part of an unmoderated comments thread in one quick angry burst and took me maybe 20 minutes. If that.
It’s still weird to me that...

Shit that is not sexist re: Irene’s portrayal in Sherlock:
She is a sexual person
She is a sex worker
She is gay/a lesbian
She is not 100% perfect 100% of the time
She does not do literally every single thing on her own
Shit that is just generally not automatically sexist:
A woman losing
A woman needing to be helped/saved
A woman being emotional, vulnerable, etc.

A thing you all should know about Godric
He is the greatest cat in the world.
But he pees on everything.
Especially luggage that you were finishing packing for your convention.
Because he pees to mark things and when he’s nervous.
So.
Yes.
That happened.

Officially tracking #gally and #gallifrey one
This weekend is going to be so fun.
For the record, I don’t know what my internet will be like at the hotel, and my days will be very busy, so I’m likely to not be tumbling for the rest of the weekend after tonight.
Tonight I’ll keep tumbling because I’m busy and there are things I should be doing, meaning of course I am on tumblr.
But starting later tonight and on...
“It is illegal for women to go topless in most cities, yet you can buy a magazine...”
– Violet Rose, in Three Steps to Better Sex (via muffdiver)
This reminds me of the post going around which contrasted the pathologizing of public breastfeeding with the gratuitous, objectifying images of women’s breasts that can be found in advertising.
The legal and social message is that our...

Sailor Moon "Fridge Logic" That I Never Understood
alittlemisscurious:
sailorfailures:
How come nobody recognises the Sailor Soldiers when they look, like, exactly the same!?!?
This one is the most WTF? “observation” for me. I mean, they transform and fight and attack with magical sparkly nonsense. Isn’t it kind of obvious that there’s some kind of magical force that stops people from recognising them? It takes a very determined person to...
Oh great my blog has been hacked
