doctorwho:
I have a hard time sometimes figuring out what is going on.
Kingston: To be honest, I think everybody does, including the actors. The only person who really knows what’s going on is Steven Moffat. It’s all in his head. You don’t think he ever has to sit down and chart it out or…
Yet, when I say @steven_moffat is playing a long game into the 50th with the arcs of 5/6 and...

creatrixtiara:
So this post got taken down by Tumblr the first time citing a “copyright violation” - they never explained what was the problem. I know the woman in the story had been trying to get this story offline so I’m not terribly surprised. I’m reposting this again, without the photo…
Seriously, just: NO. Cultural appropriation has no place here.

Have you ever turned on your television, logged on to the internet or opened a newspaper to read or hear someone speaking completely confidently about things that your common sense argues is absolutely nonsense? Have you watched a scholar, artist, or some public figure speak on topics that…

Not sure what the point of occupywallst.org is? →
Go read this tumblr. This isn’t about privileged youth, this isn’t about hating rich people, this isn’t about anything except the reality far too many of us live with every day.

“If asking a millionaire to pay the same tax rate as a plumber or a teacher makes...”
– Obama Pushes Jobs Bill in Denver - NYTimes.com
It’s about damn time. Course, it’s a stump speech. But I suppose I’ll take it.
(via champagnecandy)
Right, let’s perpetuate the illusion of the, “Middle class,” and never mention the poor. Not the working poor, not the families with...

DC's Red Hood: Starfire, sexual agency and amnesia
Let me say this in simple, plain English.
If you have a character who cannot remember giving consent, and cannot retain knowledge of past consent or sexual encounters, there can be no sexual agency or empowerment.

Where's the right to assemble?
rosinhabela:
My name is Kelly Schomburg, I’m the girl with the red hair in these pictures. I was protesting at the Occupy Wall Street march yesterday when I and several other women were sprayed with mace and subsequently arrested. Many have already seen the video, which has been spreading like wildfire over twitter, Facebook, tumblr, and other video feeds, along with hundreds of other photos...
