I love that Tumblr is like “We got Neil Gaiman to do a question and answer session so send in your questions and maybe he’ll answer them!” as though the man hasn’t spent the last few years hanging out here answering random questions and cementing himself as a widely beloved fixture of this site
“We brought in Neil Gaiman”
the fuck you did, he lives here
“we brought in neil gaiman”
you pulled him unceremoniously from his bed to go sit on the couch is what you did
A bunch of people were funnier than me on my own post and now I’M the one drowning in notes? Every day is a fucking ordeal on this blog,

YOU are consuming media. I’m letting it consume me
When someone tells you a plan, if your first thought is “that has to be illegal” it’s probably not a good plan. However, if your first thought is “I don’t think that’s illegal, but only because it’s so insane that nobody making laws thought of it first” then it’s an excellent plan.
I have a question ... Is Jeremy writing on his white shirt here? Was that a thing back in the day? Did they have special ink that easily washes out? Or is it just a 'Holmes doesn't care' moment?? I NEED TO KNOW
v interesting!!!
I first learned this from an annotated copy of the Hound of the Baskervilles that my mom had when I was little.
In case it's hard to read: the text mentions Dr Mortimer scribbling an appointment on his shirt cuff. The annotation reads: Shirt-cuffs were easily detachable so they could be easily changed every day. They were made of linen or paper; let's hope Dr. Mortimer's were made of paper!
And here is an actual collar of a much later vintage; detachable collars were used, at least in formal wear, well into the twentieth century (this one's probably from the forties) They buttoned onto the shirt at the front and back. Easy to starch and when they got too dirty, you just replaced them. And yeah, you could easily write on them
I do love how, in the Sherlock Holmes fandom, when a question of historical context comes up the first thing we look to is more Sherlock Holmes content. I love how our Jeremy Brett question was answered by an annotated copy of the original works
EVERYONE DRINK WATER RIGHT NOW AND REBLOG TO KEEP THE HYDRATION GANG CHAIN GOING
Water Reminder
Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.
Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.
Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.
Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.
But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?
“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”
Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.
Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.
By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.
The thing about midterms is that abortion bans or maintaining rights are now up to the discretion of states.
Everyone is talking about Republican state officials putting bans into effect.
State Democrats can do the opposite.
My home state is EXPANDING abortion rights, setting up legislation that will shield protections from outside interference.
Forget Biden*. He isn’t up for re-election in 2022. Do you have an on-the-record pro-choice Governor? Senators? House reps? Local judges? How about proposed legislation?
THOSE are the people you’re going to be voting (or not voting) for now, this year, 2022. The people who you will need to demand action from.
There are Democrats out there at lower levels (state & local) who are far more committed to maintaining reproductive rights than Joseph R. Biden. Do you know who they are? Look them up!
Even if you firmly believe the two parties are not meaningfully different in general (which I personally don’t, but that’s irrelevant), one difference is that Democrats do not vote a perfect partly line against abortion rights. Find pro-choice people in your state and lobby the shit out of them. And if you find people who are on your side? Yes, fucking vote for them.
Things are fucked at the federal level right now, but they’ve been passed to the states. Republicans are rushing to control states rights and keep their stranglehold on power. Resist, do it actively, because the bullshit voting rights restrictions mean we need every last one that people can manage.
*Not as in “don’t hold him accountable”, as in “don’t refuse to look at your state and local candidates because he’s fucking up”.
Fucking vote.
The right got here by voting.
If it wouldn't work, they wouldn't be trying to stop you.
#QuietQuitting sounds like capitalists complaining about their waning exploitation.
'Give back the wealth you stole' by paying your corporate taxes. No more corporate welfare.
