IDK how casting Bagels Cucumbers as Khan isn’t disrespectful to Gene Roddenberry tbh.
That man fought networks tooth and nail to have people of different races on his show. He fought long and hard to have an interracial kiss on TV.
My grandmother does not like Sci-Fi, but you better believe her ass was watching Star Trek, you know why? Because it was one of the few places...

Why do women hate cat calls so much?
This is a serious question, I’ve seen a lot of backlash against them and I would like to know the reason.

This is not a pitbull
In fact it has zero pitbull in it’s blood. This poor thing is a mix of a mastiff and a bulldog, breed to look tough and sell to toolbags. the problem is their tiny frame can’t support their weight properly leading to them developing arthritis within a few years of life….

The relativity of trauma and why it is and isn't...
suaine:
Earlier in the week I saw a post comparing Derek and Allison’s trauma and bemoaning how one is considered an excuse by fandom and the other isn’t regarding their shady as fuck actions in canon. (In the rebuttal, of course, people turned it around. I’ve seen all versions of it, with some Scott added for fun.)
And I was angry because these posts ultimately always end up in a kind of...

Where is it that your piece is set that there just aren’t any POC there? I mean, I’m sure there are places like that. Wherever it is that white people fly to when they take white flight comes to mind. Maybe you’re writing a story set in a gated community in the suburbs of Portland (Ranked Whitest city in the US based on census data!) Maybe you’re writing a story with a very limited...

– From “How to Date A Sex Worker,” by Anon on Christian Vega’s blog. Clearly more aimed at partners of full service sex workers, but great advice for someone dating a stripper too. (via amethystripper)
