The one thing that has stuck with me every day since my English teacher told me it in middle school is:
“When referring to someone, always say who they are before anything else about them, because being a person always comes first.”
Instead of saying “the mentally ill man,” say “the man with a mental illness.”
Putting someone’s characteristics (especially negative ones) before them is dehumanizing and rude. Don’t do it.
THE INTERNET IS WORKING
THANK GOD
The greatest scene in all 50 years of Doctor Who.
Friendly reminder that this guy was almost cast as the 4th Doctor.

don’t let tumblr make you believe that
-smoking is cool
-being a narcissistic bitch is acceptable
-trusting nobody is healthy
-starving yourself will make you beautiful
-hating everybody is okay
or that
– being mentally sick makes you more interesting
– hating yourself is cool
– belonging to a majority makes you a bad person
– you are not allowed to feel bad about your body
– you have to accept everyone despite their toxic views
i want a good omens movie but it has to be perfect and it won’t be therefore i do not want a good omens movie
The Good Omens movie is announced.
Neil Gaiman publicly states his approval with every aspect of the movie, and stresses how true it is to the book, how thoroughly it does it justice.
So does Terry Pratchett.
It has an absolutely perfect cast.
The director is an even better choice.
All promotional material looks wonderful.
A release date is set.
The trailer is incredible.
The premiere is a very exclusive event.
All early reviews come in positive.
Fans wait patiently in giant lines for a chance to be the first into the theatre for the midnight screenings.
They file into their seats.
They wait through the previews.
“Now: Our Feature Presentation” scrolls across the screen.
The screen goes black.
The Best of Queen begins to play.
In its entirety.
Twice.
In glorious surround sound.
Trans exclusionary radical “feminists” are so perplexing because it’s like they were sitting around and said to themselves “you know what my feminist movement needs? Misogyny!”
