Oh God what sweet fuckery is this??? Why is my tumblr WHITE??? What about this past year made the runners of tumblr sit themselves down and go, “you know what this hellsite needs, in this year of racism accountability and BLM? To be made MORE WHITE!”?! 

Someone tell me how to make it blue again. I’m begging you. I have the xkit “old blue” extension enabled and updated but it can’t stand up to the whitewash. HELP! 

Omg, thank you everyone who responded!! Turning OFF “old blue” worked and made “gross new blue”. I can live with that! Shana, I tried changing the colour pallette, but none of them would take!!

I like the hands best of all. You?

Very good, thank you. Yes. The hands. The cheekbones. Excellent. Top marks.

#still convinced that holding up the tape at a crime scene is the sherlock equivalent of pulling out his chair in a restaurant

Although he isn’t really holding it up for John, he is actually just holding it up for himself. John just manages to get under it before Sherlock lets go.

What did you say again?

he also holds the door for john 

How about holding doors open for people is a courteous normal thing to do?

Bless this post. 

Top gifs–Sherlock was talking to John while walking and facing forward but, once he lifts up the tape, he turns to look at John as John scoots under the tape to make sure he made it through, then drops the tape and turns to face forward and starts walking again. He held it up for John.

Yup.

stop telling your teenage daughters who say they don’t want kids that they’ll change their mind

reblog the shit outta this

I haven’t been a teenager in over a decade. Mind has yet to change on the subject.

At 14, I told my guidance counselor that I didn’t want kids. He chuckled, patted me on the back, and informed me that when I got a little older, and I was with a guy, I would change my mind.At 16, my grandmother nearly had a heart attack because of her three granddaughters, myself and the youngest agreed we didn’t want to uave babies. Ever.At 17, my father asked about my life plan. I told him: graduate high school, get my college degree, do some traveling and writing, go for this particular job I wanted, retired around X age, take month-long vacations to places I wanted to spend time in, etc. He asked, “What about a husband? Children? Normal things a girl is supposed to think about?” My response- a husband if a man came along that could share an adventure with me, kids were a No Go. He assured me I would ‘grow up’ qnd change my mind.At 19, I shocked my former babysitter who had known me since I was a toddler, when I confirmed the rumour she’d heard that I didn’t want kids. She patted my mom’s arm and reassured her in a sweet voice that, “Don’t worry, girls say a lot of silly things before they meet the right fella, and wise up. She’ll give you grand babies”At 22, I was talking to a college professor who chuckled at my making a comment about how, “thank goodness I’m never going to have to worry about juggling child rearing eith marriage, work, and life”, then she realized I was serious. She asked if I was alright, thinking I could-not (not didn’t-want) kids. I told her the truth, could have but didn’t want to. She was aghast, then told me that I’d change my mind when my husband wanted some kids.Well, I’m over 30, still have absolutely no desire to give birth, adopt, raise, or have much of anything to do with children. I don’t hate children, I don’t think people who have them are crazy (more power to you, to create and/or care for another person), and I don’t think it’s impossible to have a life AND have children. I recognized at an early age that I don’t have that biological imperative to procreate, I don’t have the patience to deal with children (something that has shown very little improvement as I’ve gotten older, in fact it might be getting worse), and I don’t feel my life is incomplete without creating another life- I am good with living my own and doing my best to enrich the lives of those I care about (I try my best to be a good friend, to be a good sister, good daughter, good pet-owner, and a good person in general).

So please, please stop telling girls (or really kids at all, but especially girls) that they will change their minds. Please don’t tell them that meeting ‘the right guy’ will make them suddenly feel broody, that their potential future husband’s desire to have children will make her reconsider and see things his way. For one, a couple should have had that conversation and decided if it was a deal breaker, LONG before they got hitched. For another, it’s her body that gets to grow and birth another human being- her husband’s desire to be a father doesn’t supercede her autonomy.

Please, let girls make their own choices? Girls are forced to mature too fast as it is and are bombarded from all sides with SHOULD (you SHOULD be a size 2, you SHOULD wear this dress, you SHOULD have a boyfriend to be a normal teen, you SHOULD always smile), they don’t need another judgement from someone who hasn’t walked a mile in their particular shoes. Respect teenage girls and their ability to look at the world, themselves, their situation, and their future, and make an important choice.

Thanks for attending my TED talk. G'night.

And also? Even if she does change her mind later in life? Why are you disregarding her opinion now because that opinion might change later?

If your daughter says she doesn’t want kids, if you act all condescending and completely ignore her, that isn’t going to make her more likely to have kids! If she gets older and decides she wants kids, she might be hesitant to actually have kids because she doesn’t want to hear I told you so or because the way you disregard her opinions has permanently tainted the idea of having kids.

But if your daughter says she doesn’t want kids and you say “Okay, sounds good,” she’ll know that she has your support for her future and if she later says “Actually, I do want kids,” she’ll know that you’ll be just as happy and supportive, and therefore more willing and more enthusiastic about the prospect of having kids.

Or maybe she’ll still think “No, I don’t want kids,” but now she won’t resent you for not believing her when she voices her opinions.

Yes, opinions can sometimes change. No, that doesn’t give you the right to disregard anyone’s opinion now.

I’m 41 and people still haven’t stopped telling me that I’ll change my mind about not wanting kids. Even when I point out my age, they’ll assure me that I could still adopt. I’m single, make $14/hour at my job, can barely make ends meet, and am in no way equipped to raise a child, and more to the point, I DON’T WANT TO AND NEVER HAVE. Even if I wanted to, it would be a rash and totally irresponsible decision. And yet I still get told this. REGULARLY.
