Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!
Also good to keep THIS SHIT in mind:
This. I’m not afraid of the Trump voters, this election cycle. Nor the Russians. I’m afraid of the people in my own party who would rather live with Trump and Pence, even now, than accept a woman having power over them. I’m afraid of Democratic candidates who will sulk if they lose, instead of changing momentum and supporting the nominee with everything they’ve got.
Spot on!!!

It’s so fucked up that women are so universally dismissed and hated in society that nearly every single woman goes through a phase (if not a lifetime) of thinking she isn’t like other women purely because she has rational thoughts, hobbies, feelings, and needs.
So true but so, so sad :(
I grew up in a home where my father encouraged us to chat at dinners about math, science, history, politics and topics like that. My father gave the same value to my opinion as to that of my brothers.
Sounds like my dinner table!
How is it like to give life to two women who work in a world dominated by men? “Normal. It reflects our world today. Gender, race and religion barriers to job opportunities are becoming more and more archaic. That is, at least I hope so, we are moving towards a world that hires people by their skills and talent and not by the color of their skin or the bathroom they go to.” — Stana Katic photographed by Nino Muñoz for ELLE España (2017)
Something to aspire for!
Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.

Zenith Redux
A Castle Pornado One-Shot
This is a reboot of a universe from a Castle fanfic prompt over a year ago. The original 2 parts can be read under this tag; however since this is a reboot, reading the originals aren’t necessary.
Setting: Caskett AU Circa Season 3
“Ah, c’mon Kate—one more dance!” Richard Castle encouraged the moment his partner turned away from him.
“No,” she laughed as she tried to pull away from him as he scrambled to grab her shoulder, then her elbow, and finally her hand as she pushed her way through the tight dancefloor crowd. “My feet need a break, Castle.”
“Party pooper.” He grumbled at her, but she merely rolled her eyes.
“I never said you had to stop dancing too.”
“But it’s no fun if you’re not out there with me. We’ll break for two songs and then we’ll go back.”
“I make no promises.”
A few steps later they had reached their table in the seating area of the hotel ballroom and Kate turned her chair so she could sit and also watch the celebration on the dancefloor. Once down, she crossed her legs so her left shin balanced atop her right knee and she could examine the big toe of her left foot. Upon seeing the red mark, she grimaced; well that was definitely why her foot hurt. She rubbed gingerly at the angry mark made by the cross-foot strap and winced again.
“Yikes, Beckett; that doesn’t look good.”
“No kidding.”
“And here I thought you could run for miles in heels…you’re ruining the illusion.”
She let out a noise of derision as she continued to examine her foot. “First, those are heeled boots, not sandals. Second, I’m really not sure what’s going on because I’ve worn these before and they haven’t bothered me.” Granted, that was probably almost a year earlier, but how much could her feet have possibly changed between the ages of thirty-one and thirty-two?
“Want me to get you some ice?”
She shook her head and patted his arm in appreciation. “No, no; I’ll be fine. You can go talk to Espo if you want.” Kate pointed towards their coworker who was hovering by the bar, sipping his drink, and watching the crowd. As they had learned earlier that evening, Esposito was not a fan of dancing at weddings; evidently he wanted to use his time to scope out a date so Kate figured he could use a wingman.
“Nah,” Castle replied. “I’m fine right here.”
Kate settled back in her chair and gazed out at the dance floor where she caught a glimpse of the bride and groom dancing, smiling, and laughing; it made Kate smile, too. She was so happy for Kevin and Jenny and was so glad she could be there to celebrate with them. Toe pain aside, the evening had been entirely wonderful starting with a beautiful ceremony and continuing on through dinner and great speeches at the reception. Kate knew that at least in part her evening was enjoyable because of her chosen date.
When Ryan’s invitations arrived three months earlier, Kate had declined her “plus one” without second thought. She wasn’t with anyone at that moment, and didn’t want to waste time trying to find a date that might not enjoy the event at all. There would be enough people there she knew that she wasn’t worried about going solo; she knew she would still have fun. Then, the following day, Castle had asked her about her invitation and as they were chatting said, “Well, if neither of us is taking anyone, maybe we should go together.”

I love that you guys trash talking Stana's fucking stupid show. Stana can fuck herself. Rookie and his lovely man lead going to rock. Stana is always under him and she can kiss his ass. she cant function without his master ;) you don't have to answer, good luck. ;)
Dude, just because I don’t like Absentia hardly means I’m trash talking it. It has its problems, and I think it’s incredible that across the board, basically everyone has had the same reaction to those problems (cause that’s rare, I don’t care what show we are talking about).
Also, maybe English isn’t your first language, in which case I’ll give you a pass. But if it is? You need to check up on some grammar.
We also need to discuss this “master” bullshit, because no man is the master of any woman. Stana’s a grown ass adult, she’s a multi-millionaire, she could never work another day in her life, and live a far better one than most of us ever will. Even when Castle was airing, I never understood this petty, childish nonsense of pitting the two of them against one another and saying that one is better than the other. It’s not a competition, and it never has been. There’s plenty of room in the world for both Stana and Nathan to have successful careers and just because she’s decided to star in one show that I - and others - don’t particularly find that interesting or engaging? It hardly means that her career is over. Likewise, just because Nathan’s new show has been given a full series order hardly means that it’s going to be a hit. But, much like Stana, he’s got plenty of money in the bank and he’ll be just fine.
But, by all means, continue to be petty and run around talking about how much better Nathan is than Stana or Stana is than Nathan. It’s beyond ridiculous, it’s actually pretty damn embarrassing especially when there are plenty of other people in the world who have a favorite of the two and can manage to respect the other or, at the very least, not run around leave trolly messages in a blogger’s inbox to broadcast how terrible one is over the other.
Spot on!

Are you up for a game? Here's my list of writers that I'm most familiar with (I don't read a ton of fic, so my list includes just a handful), and now you name your favorite fic or tumblr fic by each of them. If you're not familiar with their work, just say so and pass. Ready? And go! bravevulnerability, faithsette, ColieMacKenzie, Ky03elk, acertainzest, Kate Christie, airbefore, caffinate-me, SparkleMouse, honeyandvodka, seilleanmor. And finally, what is your favorite fic of your own & why?
Feel free to add writers not on my list & your favorite fics from them if you want to :)
Hi Anon! I’m going to turn the game on its side a little bit, if that’s okay. Since you’re already familiar with the authors you listed (and I’m bad at picking favorites), what I’d like to do is toss out some authors you might be less familiar with (and if you are already familiar with them yay!). Given that you added that addendum, I’m going to assume you don’t mind too much. Kay? Cool.
In no particular order, you should totally check out the words of: bingblot, EllaNight, Sorde, DMarx, rewritetheending, CoffeeCup218, livinglaughinglove, ipreferwestside, Meg Moore, shadoweddawn, and Avery Kensington :)
It’s in no way a comprehensive list, but I hope you’ll like what you read!
Have to check them out!
It’s not consent unless there is a choice. A ‘yes’ doesn’t mean anything unless saying ‘no’ is a safe and comfortable option available.
Fuck. This is literally the best commentary on consent I’ve ever seen.
This is worth sharing.
Consent and choice inextricably connected.

So I can’t stop crying after watching this.
this is by far the most incredible thing I’ve watched in days
This is why I try to see the best in people. This is why I will always take the side of people trying to make this world a better place. Incredible story.
Wow. Truly truly incredible.
This took my breath away.
First and foremost - BE HUMAN! We all should live by that!
The world is an amazing place. And people can be equally remarkable.
Feels...feels...
Well, guys, it’s that time of year again! This is my third time doing it (skipped 2016), so hopefully, I won’t make too many mistakes!
What/when is it? So, the basic idea of this is to celebrate the holidays with our fellow fandom friends and maybe even make a new one! You can enter as early as today, you’ll get your URL around November 29-30th, then it starts Dec. 1st!
The rules: you must send me a message saying “CSS17″ to join (it keeps people who don’t actually want to do it from liking the post and joining), have anonymous messaging open on your ask box (ask if you are unsure), and (preferably) send one thing a day starting on December 1st up until Christmas Day. Then, on Christmas Day, reveal your identity! I will be checking to see if anon is enabled and let you know if it’s not. The deadline to join is November 28th, giving me time to assign everyone a secret Santa, which will be done through a private message I send. Also, I cannot stress enough how important it is that your anon box is open, it’s the main point of Secret Santa.
What the heck do I give them?? Now, the gifts can be anything, although a nice message is probably the easiest way to keep your anonymity. Some people choose to create a second blog and title it “(insert blogs URL)’s Secret Santa 2015” or something. That’s fine as well, just make sure they know about it! If you feel like you won’t be able to get on from Dec 1-25, either make sure your receiver knows so they don’t think you forgot about them, or try to tell them beforehand.
Other important stuff: If for some random reason, I have to make an announcement, I will do like previous years and tag it “CastleSS2017″. Don’t be afraid to join, it’s super fun and (most of) the members of the Castle fandom are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, trust me (the complete stranger on the internet ;)). I can’t wait to do this again!
P.S.- Don’t forget to reblog to spread the word!
