How not to be batshit in fandom: Helpful tips part I  (Shipping edition)

Welcome to the first in a possible series of posts on How not to be batshit in fandom: Helpful tips. This first part will explore a few common occurances when shipping, and how to deal with this without falling into the traps of batshit.

Inspired by many, many years in many fandoms, way, way too much fandom wankery and having to take many a calming breath myself at times. (Yeah, I’m poking myself here too. Ah, emotional investment, the things it will do to us all at times…)

AMEN! Pretty much just that.

 “It’s quite literally a bromance. The “bro” aspect of the word is for real. I can’t imagine having to go to the emotional extremity that we both had to go to, if we actually didn’t like each other. It would have just been horrendous to go to work. The fact that we get along, we just egg each other on. We raised each other’s game. We just had a really, really good time. Chris [Hemsworth] had a few drinks at the wrap party and was hanging out the window on the way back to the hotel, and before we went up to our rooms he said, “You’re the only one who understands, mate.”   Tom Hiddleston, on his relationship with co-star Chris Hemsworth

"The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying… it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity."

Clearly Carl Sagan has never witnessed myself on the escalator at the du pont circle metro entrance.  I was praying *very hard* to the law of gravity at that point.

I had to reblog this. My brother had a Corgi (named Frodo) and he does this all the time! even when he was a puppy. I’ve never seen another dog do this, even other Corgi’s and its so freaking CUTE!

There’s been some controversy over the SlutWalk protests taking place across the world. There’s a lot to say, but until I have the time to write something comprehensive, I thought I would let oh-so-lovely commenters from around the globe demonstrate why SlutWalks are so desperately needed. 

CNN:

I kind of feel sorry for the police officer. I understand that he wasn’t blaming victims but it has all been blown out of proportion. I mean we prosecute thieves but we also tell people to lock their doors when they go out.”

Seriously if you wish to dress sexy and strut your stuff you should expect sexual violence. Yes you can blame the man who cannot control himself but if he is found guilty you should also be found guilty of being so inviting.”

you women that dress provocatively will attract the pervert/rapist whatever nearby. simple as that. when they see boobs and thigh and butt they all go nuts. so dont entice them as much as possible.”

you shows your assets off you are just as much at fault if you get raped.

 “Do not just blame the person doing the assaulting if you are going to run around strutting your stuff.”

if i didn’t want my car to be broke in. i would lock the doors and keep valuables out of site. will that save it? no, but it lowers my risk. ladies, carry mace and learn to fight otherwise you might make yourself a victim by giving wrong impressions.”

 You wouldn’t be walking through a safari park smelling of bacon, would you?”

If you dress like a billboard, you are going to get customers. You can’t just do whatever you want and expect everyone to think what you demand. You are not that special.”

A new comic on a subject near and dear to me this week! With tacos!
Reblog this little darling and let’s see if we can’t balance out some of that hate with a little hope?


Word. And I think this is a message that needs to be spread around a bit more. Also I heart the taco.

Petty in pink: The uproar over a J.Crew ad reveals deep-seated hatreds

jessicavalenti:

My latest from The Daily. The real question around the J.Crew “controversy” isn’t whether or not pink nail polish can turn your kid gay or trans (no, it can’t), but so what if it did?

The uproar over this makes me want to hurt someone. John Stewarts piece on the Daily Show on this topic was great!
