Movies should not be made like this.

This is why I don’t blame Cumberbatch himself for taking the role: by all accounts, at the time he signed the contract, he didn’t know his character’s real identity.

(Actually I try not to blame actors in general for taking parts, unless they’re in a position where they can pick and choose their roles, Johnny Depp.  People gotta pay the rent, after all.  I save my side eye for when they’re actively stupid, like Jackson Rathbone saying all he needed to play Sokka was a tan.)

That is a thing I did not know! Yaaay I have a reason to be less irritated with Cumberbatch, which is nice, because I’m spending too much time irritated with JJ Abrams-related things lately.

I was disgusted to find this out, to be honest. The whole thing continues to smack of JJ knowing he’d done a bad thing, giving no shits, and actively undercutting the ability of fans/consumers to make an informed decision about their purchase.

Yeah, I don’t have a beef with Cumberbatch on this—it’s Abrams I’m not happy with here.

I dunno how many which ways this needs to be said

This comic accurately sums up my feelings towards those who complain about The Hawkeye Initiative.

look, I am a huge David Willis fan. He is funny, brilliant, and bang on the mark.

But this? This is the single best and most important comic he has ever done and I am going to keep reblogging it until people stop making the argument in the first panel.

Susan B. Anthony, badass.

Lest we forget Susan B. Anthony sought voting rights for women because she was offended that black men were allowed to vote and she wasn’t, even though, as she said, their brains weren’t capable of understanding politics. Susan B. Anthony, racist.

White privilege is Susan B. Anthony being an American hero. White privilege not understand why black folks should be skeptical of mainstream feminism when this white supremacist is one of the most seminal figures in the feminist movements.

good note about how we frame history as often being from a white lens, not just a male lens.

My understanding is that Anthony was all in favor of universal suffrage until the group helping her argue for universal suffrage decided to support a measure permitting black men to vote but not a measure permitting white women to vote (black women, of course, needed both passed), at which point she decided to focus her attentions. Is my understanding flawed?

"Not every white person is a racist, but the genius of racism is that you don’t have to participate to enjoy the spoils. If you’re white, you can be completely oblivious, passively accepting the status quo, and reap the rewards."

—Mychal Denzel Smith, “White People Have to Give Up Racism” (via thenationmagazine)

A very good definition of privilege.

ENDER’S GAME — Trailer (by SummitScreeningRoom)

I finally had the guts to watch this, and now I want them to hurry up and make Speaker for the Dead.

AUGH YOU HAD TO SAY THAT. I’m not looking forward to Ender’s Game. I WOULD look forward to Speaker. I might even—horrors—pay to see Speaker, and Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. (It’s Card. I swore I’m never going to pay for another Card creative product in my life, because heterosexism.) Unless I heard they whitewashed them like Airbender, in which case I would have a furious and resume my Card boycott.

Governor Rick Scott on whether paid sick leave is a good idea:

Florida’s governor just signed a bill BANNING paid sick leave.

You know, for as much as conservatives like to bible thump….

I’m pretty sure the Bible says a lot about helping the sick. Wasn’t that one of Jesus’s big points?

Think that was right next to the part where he didn’t get paid for it, which is right after the bit where he admonished rich people for being rich. Funny how Jesus wasn’t a huge “fuck the poor” kinda guy.
