it/its pronouns are not inherently dehumanizing, unless the user wants them to be. it/its pronouns aren't weird. it/its pronouns aren't too hard to use. people who only use it/its pronouns need to have this be respected no matter what your beliefs are. you don't get to single out people with "weird" pronouns and misgender us and use incorrect pronouns. accept someone who uses it/its as you support someone who uses they/them. there's nothing wrong with it/its pronouns. respect its users.

a canon event for every oldest daughter is being told “you would be a good lawyer”

‘Children of Shatila’ (Lebanon, 1998) film by Mai Masri. In this scene the youth of the Palestinian refugee camp interview an elder with a video camera.

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.

I love personalization. I love stickers on water bottles and on laptops. I love shitty marker drawing on the toes of converse. I love hand embroidered doodles on jeans. I love posters on walls. I love knick knacks on shelves. I love jewelry with goofy charms. I love when people take things and make them theirs.

RTD SAID TRANS RIGHTS AND THE DOCTOR IS TRANS ALL IN ONE FUCKING MADLAD

You can make Holmes and watson look like whatever you want. Anyone who says they have to be white/skinny/whatever is a loser. BUT. There is one super super important thing that you cannot ever change, which is that Watson has to be HOT. Doesn’t matter what he looks like as long as that man is a total dreamboat. If you make Holmes look cool and then make Watson a goofy looking dork, you are missing the point by a fucking mile. HOLMES is the goofy looking dork. Watson is the astonishingly handsome swoon-worthy hero in these stories and EVERYONE should have a crush on him.

Honestly the funniest part of Conclave was every character whipping out their reading glasses whenever they needed to look at something because they're all old as fuck and can't see.

Me: Do you know the definition of platonic soulmates?

Them: Yeah. It's two people who-

Me: WRONG. *slams pictures on table* IT'S THEM.

So i worked with veterans for a few years.

To me, John is absolutely reminiscent of a lot of the… slightly scarier vets? 

Like he absolutely is hyper vigilant

Like… people only picture that as like scared and eyes darting all over the place, panicky, but … it also manifests in a much… slower… more deliberate way of looking around. Walking into a room and taking a quick scan of it to pick out the best way to escape, the most likely looking people to start trouble, mood of the room so you know if you need to play it cool.

So he walks through the door, quick glare at everyone, then a forced smile as he loosens his posture and plays it cool. But the SECOND anything starts turning he isn’t remotely startled, just moves right towards that stack of beer bottles he noticed on his way in, palms it and positions himself where he needs to be in order to take someone out. When the situation cools he’s reluctant to put the bottle down, but he does it anyways. Either spends the rest of the evening hovering near the bottles or else purposely stays away from them, while being incredibly aware of how far away they are.

JOhn’s the type of vet that seems pretty much to be fine, but his family will say hes secretive and more intense than he used to be. 

John is the kind that stays completely calm and quiet while someone yells at him, but everything in the set of his jaw and the way he’s shifted his balance, screams out silently ‘please give me a reason, any reason, you have no idea who you’re picking a fight with’

i ADORE john but anytime i see a fic where he is nothing but sweet and understanding, all i can think is how much, to me, JOhn is playing the role of a civilian. He knows how to do it, and most people probably think he plays it flawlessly. 

(((sorry mycroft, you have no idea what you’re talking about. PTSD manifests in a lot of ways, and John’s particular version isn’t even rare))
