Is anyone else a little creeped out by the guy behind her? I mean I’m sure he’s nice and fine and all but that’s a creepy picture.

I’m creeped out that Rhianna can make what is basically a grey sweatshirt look fabulous. It’s like she has a superpower or something.

lawfulgoodness answered: It goes back to representation. Ask him how many strong, non-stereotyped roles there are for Mexicans or Indians vs. white men.

Thank you! I feel like there’s some scale metaphor I can make, but you’re right: just stick to the numbers. People of color get the shaft in representation and the only way to fix that is to actively work against it, not excuse whitewashing.

How do I explain that a white man playing Khan in "Star Trek" is NOT the same as a black man playing James Bond?

I can’t find the Gene Roddenberry quote where he outright states that if you created a superhuman out of all the best genetic material on Earth, it would NOT be a white man. I think I’d start there.

Here are some awesome and empowering quotes from several very strong female celebrities.

And Kristen Stewart.

No, you know what? Fuck you.

Let me tell you about Kristen Stewart.

Let’s talk about how she’s the centerpiece of one of the most inexplicably popular misogynistic pieces of film shit and somehow gets blamed for it sucking, despite the fact that, hey, the books were actually worse.…

Reblogging for both the photos and quotes as well as the commentary.

Hail Bacchus!

I watched 19 episodes of Supernatural this weekend and I'm holding you personally responsible, Tumblr.

Just wrote out a long-winded, indignant response to an anti-choicer on Tumblr... and then deleted it without posting.

On purpose. It felt good to just walk away.

Happy anniversary, Buffy.

[insert literary reference]: Why Do Men Keep Putting Me in the Girlfriend-Zone?:

literaryreference:

You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend.

But…

I recently received an email from an anonymous fan sharing how she pulled a Hawkeye Initiative themed prank on her CEO to illustrate a problem with some artwork.
My personal compliments to her and her accomplice on a mission well done;…

Beautiful use of The Hawkeye Initiative in the real world!

“Interlibrary loans are a wonder of the world and a glory of civilization.”

I just read this book! It was a love letter to science fiction and libraries.

arachnis-deathicus:

Gonna quickly throw in an epic quote I found on this article.

KJKJ: Gene Roddenberry, with balls of brass, got up on national tv and said, “hey people, if a geneticist took all the best DNA from planet Earth and put it together to make the best human the world has ever seen - he wouldn’t be a white guy.”

This is why I find the casting of a white actor in this role to be so repugnant. They are not whitewashing an Asian role, they are saying that the best genetic material that the entirety of this world and it’s diversity has to offer….still comes from a white guy.

Wait wait WHAAAAAAT? Is Benedict Cumberbatch playing KHAN?! Or Khan by another name?!!?!?!? Uuuuuugh…
