If people don’t think women’s bodies are being controlled, they aren’t looking hard enough.

[saphire-dance]

In contrast my husband got a vasectomy and no one even once suggested I might have an opinion on that.

[asingularcanadian]

ok so lemme take a minute here to just be fucking mad as all hell.

I don’t like to butt in on people’s posts, lord knows I don’t like starting shit but lemme take a second to tell y'all about getting ur lady bits put out of comission.

I, at the age of 12 years, was diagnosed with PCOS. For you that don’t know what that is, PCOS, or Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, is a LIFELONG medical condition where groups of cysts grow on your ovaries causing the production of female hormones in your body to go batshit nuts and cause a whole sideshow of different symptoms such as but not limited to:

Irregular cardiac function (it’s a scary time)

severe weight gain and trouble losing weight (i may eat healthy and work out daily but until I was down to 1-2 meals a day of spinach i wasn’t losing weight)

severe adolescent acne, and adult acne

extra hair on the face, chest, arms, legs, thumbs, belly and back (I shave my face everyday before class and usually before I go to bed)

thinning hair on the scalp due to an excess of male hormones

irregular or no periods 

HEAVY periods

EXTREME PERIOD PAIN

depression and anxiety

pelvic pain

increased risk for type 2 diabetes

Increased for all female reproductive cancers due to infrequency of periods

Now, TMI, but I recently had my first period in 6 FUCKING YEARS. Due to the nature of PCOS generally when you have a period it’s because one of the cysts on your ovaries has burst releasing a flood of hormones into your system as well as built up toxins. Basically, when I had mine my body went into full on panic mode, nausea and vomiting, extreme fatigue, mood swings like you wouldn’t believe, my body went from being relatively alright to the cliffs of fucking Gallipoli in an hour flat. The kicker was on top of all that I had cramping so bad I actually blacked out.  Given that I know this is likely to happen again before I reach menopause, I decided to book an appointment with my local Planned Parenthood (applaud those lovely people and what they do) to see what my options were to make sure it never happens again. After telling me about various hormonal treatments they could prescribe me (not pills but IUDs shots and various other things) I asked them if it was possible for me to get a partial hysterectomy. A partial hysterectomy removes the uterus but keeps the ovaries so that they still are able to produce estrogen. The lady I had the appointment with looked at me with a look of the utmost pity and told me that unfortunately due to my age there would be likely no chance for any doctor to do it. When I pressed her on the topic she said that the most common excuse doctors will give you for it is that you’re too young, you might change your mind and want to have children later in life.  Now I dunno if y’all reading this are currently seeing anything wrong with this scenario here but I was told that I, someone who can’t have kids, doesn’t want kids, has never wanted kids, and would be put at severe risk of life threatening complications, have to have had children before anyone would consider giving me a surgery that not only would undoubtedly improve the quality of my life but also remove

Well, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to get a referral from her during the appointment, I went home and decided to research this bullshit. Turns out that there is something commonly evoked when women want to have any part of their reproductive system put out of commission called the three child rule. Basically if you are young, doctors usually wont let you get either a hysterectomy or a partial hysterectomy UNLESS you have already had three children. 

HOLD THE MOTHERFUCKING PHONE FOR A WHOLE SECOND AND THINK ABOUT THIS

By most doctors standards, YOU are REQUIRED as a woman to PHYSICALLY GIVE BIRTH to at least 3 CHILDREN before you are able to have any of your reproductive system removed or decommissioned. 

And that isn’t even the worst part of it all, these standards DO NOT change when the patient is at high risk for reproductive cancers!

How fucking miserable is it that to take control of your own fucking health in a first world country a woman has to have submitted to the gender roles of having children or actually have contracted cancer or some other immediately life threatening condition.

Meanwhile, the only requirements for men to receive a vasectomy (at least int he states) is that they’re over the age of 18 and are of sound mind and body.

Sherlock and John interrupt Mycroft’s meeting with prime minister. :p Original BBC video is (X)

[bey]

Don’t invite me anywhere last minute I enjoy doing nothing so I need to know ahead of time if my plan to do nothing needs to be changed

[bana05]

This is legit and people don’t realize it.

[givemestrenghtnot2talkboutwinona]

I swear to God I’ve never ever felt so identified with a post as I felt with this one

[the-7-percent-solution]

The BBC fucked up. They fucked up so bad and they know it. Their plan is falling apart at the seams. Yes, this is a plan. 

They have more footage. It comes out Sunday the 29th (or not at all). “It’s not a trick, it’s a plan.” – a poorly executed plan.  They wanted to recreate the social unrest from The Final Problem of 1893, except they’re failing at the one goal they wished to accomplish. 

They wanted every audience member on board with the romance coming to Sherlock series 4. This is why they marketed the “I Love You” scene in the trailer and went to social media to proclaim “Sherlock is in love, but who with??”. It was a direct bait in their marketing scheme to get people to anticipate the romance. They needed to get everyone on the same page with who Sherlock loves – that is where this all fell apart, and I can tell you exactly how and where in the series this happened. 

 In The Lying Detective, Moffat and Gatiss made the unwise decision to include Mary Watson as a figment of John’s imagination. This is where everything went wrong. The audience sees her and forgets she’s not real – they think she’s speaking as herself or that John loves her so much he can’t bear to be away from her. This is not true in the slightest. John calls it “self-loathing” because he is torturing himself with her memory.  He conjures her in order to punish himself. This is explicitly stated. He does not miss her – he forgets her as soon as “the game is on” with Sherlock in the TD-12 room.  This is explicitly stated, as well. We saw John (as Mary) call Sherlock “My Monster” and “Posh Boy”, we saw John argue with himself about Sherlock over and over and over again because he can’t stop thinking about him. We saw John get outrageously jealous of Irene Adler, which has been happening for five years straight. We saw John practically beg to know about Sherlock’s sex life. We saw John break down about not being honest with himself about what he’s always wanted in a romantic partner, therefore causing devastation to everyone he holds dear. Many people in the audience saw this and thought “John loves Mary!” which is the exact opposite conclusion the audience needed to reach at that very moment. John loves someone, he’s always loved someone, and by not having the guts to be honest, he “lost his chance”.  He is talking about Sherlock. The things he wanted to say in episode 6 – that’s what has been eating at him for years. He never took the chance. He wasn’t honest with himself. And the audience missed this important piece of information because they couldn’t separate Mary as John from Mary as herself. 

Moffat and Gatiss thought the audience would ban together at this point and see the characters’ love arcs as almost complete. “Sherlock is in love, but who with??” – this should be obvious after The Lying Detective, but it wasn’t. “Romantic entanglement would complete you as a human being.” This should have made the entire audience go, “Ooooo Sherlock is going to confess his love in The Final Problem”, but because the audience didn’t fully understand Ghost!Mary’s role in The Lying Detective, they couldn’t see anyone loving Sherlock back. This is not at all what the writers thought would happen. 

The Final Problem was meant to be one gigantic queerbait. They explicitly made the villains queer. They had a John-sized coffin with “I love you” smashed to bits. They used Freddie Mercury’s “I Want to Break Free” as a villain’s anthem. They ended the song at the phrase “I’ve fallen in love” precisely at the word “love”. They made Mycroft “here to see the queen” Holmes a heterosexual romantic (TLD and TFP). They didn’t give John and Sherlock even five minutes alone in TFP. They made a mockery of “The Three Garridebs”, a Doyle story about Watson seeing “the depth of loyalty and love that lay behind the cold mask”. They told us “Who you really are doesn’t matter”. 

The problem with this is because viewers didn’t fully understand what was told to them at the end of The Lying Detective, not a huge amount of people were upset with the lack of romantic closure. The queerbait was wasted on the general audience but felt horribly by queer people. Now many don’t believe queer people when they claim there to be deliberate homosexual intent/subtext written in the show. The audience still doesn’t see it. This is why Gatiss came out to confirm that they had indeed purposefully put in homosexual subtext repeatedly as a joke. He wants people to see the queerbait for what it is. He wants this to be discussed. 

Now the BBC has a huge problem on their hands. The queer/ally audience is upset over representation and everyone is upset over quality of the episode itself. The main complaint the BBC thought it would get would be the queerbaiting allegations. However, those allegations aren’t large enough. The outrage isn’t loud enough. It would have been if they projected John Watson’s inner thoughts in a better way. 

Now the BBC is sweating. The plan isn’t working. The audience is still divided. 

How do you rile up a crowd? How do you get everyone who’s upset about The Final Problem and all of its flaws to focus on the one thing everyone should be thinking about?

You tell everyone who will listen that Sherlock was never, ever a queer show because there is absolutely zero proof of homosexuality ever hinted at on screen. You tell the biggest lie to anyone who will listen, regardless of what they asked about. You tell lies that have been previously contradicted by the writers themselves. You plant the idea for the audience, because they didn’t reach the conclusion themselves. You wait silently, fingers crossed, that an angry crowd will take to social media and promote your story. You hope to stay relevant because you fucked up so, so badly. 

Somehow, in the attempt to make television history, BBC Sherlock managed to alienate its most dedicated queer fans. 

There’s only one thing I can say about this:

Norbury

[yoursundrenchedworld]

Hello everyone! I’m really stressed about having to even do this, but I really need some help. Here’s the situation:

I was unemployed from the end of April 2016 til the end of August. Since then, I have been working two minimum wage jobs. Due to the nature of the jobs, hours aren’t guaranteed, so I usually work anywhere from 32-40 hours/week between the two, both requiring me to be on my feet. I feel like I work myself to the bone for these jobs, and I barely have anything to show for it in terms of paychecks. 

Because of my previous unemployment and my current income situation, I have fallen behind on my car payments. I currently owe $1,169.56. I make $50 payments every paycheck, but I continue to fall more and more behind. I was just notified this morning that my car has been put into notice of default, meaning they have the right at any time after February 3rd to repossess my vehicle unless I can catch up on my payments. Without a car, I can’t get to work to try to make money to pay off my car payments. I need my car. 

I’m asking today for any donations to help me pay off my late car payments. I hate that it’s come to this, but I have no other options.

Any help at all, even $0.50, would mean so much. I don’t have any way to repay you at this time, but just know that I would be eternally grateful for any help. If you can’t donate, please help spread the word. 

You can donate to my PayPal or my Google Wallet (both using the email [email protected]). Please know that I am so appreciative for any help I might receive. Thank you!

The 4th Episode: A Complete Johnlock Fix-It

The screen is black.  A woman’s voice cuts through.  It’s Molly’s voice.

“Forward? Or Backward?”

A blinding white light floods the darkness.  A pulsating heartbeat. 

“Backward,” sighs Sherlock.

White noise stings as scenes are replayed backward. Sherlock and John running backward.  John’s fist recoiling from Sherlock in the morgue.  The christening, backward. The birth, backward.  The plane glides into the air, tail first. Magnussen’s limp body jolts into standing position, Sherlock puts the gun back in John’s pocket. The flashdrive jumps from the fire, into John’s hand.  The gun drops, the coin falls back into Mary’s fingers. Sherlock raises from Magnussen’s floor, the blood-stained shirt turns freshly white. Mary stands across from Sherlock, gun drawn.

Roll Title Credits.

“John.” “Yes?” “…” “Oh.”

I never comment on things I post but if you repost these without credit (consider this: don’t repost at all), I will find you, and I will skin you and everyone you hold dear. Thank you. :)

[monikakrasnorada]

Because we should have been given this.

[marcespot]

John’s hallucinating while bleeding out. This is how I read the events taking place in The Final Problem; it’s all a product of John’s imagination, which explains the theme, the odd characterization, and plot holes. That’s why they dangled three Garridebs before us, because the whole episode is happening during Garridebs. Therefore, John mixes real words Sherlock might be telling him, with his unconscious dream.

This one goes to the lovely Jacky, who @waitedforgarridebs and thought she’d lot it, but she proposed the dream theory and we started to talk about it in THIS POST. A spark which blew into a flame. I am absolutely sure of this reading, because imo, as Sherlock would say, it is the only explanation of all the facts.

You can consider this a trailer (or more of a spoiler) for “The Surprise Episode” I’m sure we’re gonna get. ;)

Enjoy!

WATCH. THIS. VIDEO.

AND KNOW IT CAME FROM PROPHETS! ;) <3

[martinfreemanruinedme]

Honestly. I’m not into any meta or theories, but this is like a rather wonderful, yet sad AU and it demands to be watched.

[sherlock-addict]

This is something I needed. I really did. You need it too. I promise.

[kinklock]

The production quality goes down in tfp cause sherlock's mind palace has A+ graphics but john's imagination is like "k what's in this room. concrete, moving on"

i love him….. he saw saw too many times 

[redscharlach]

my name is Sherlock i am wise. i hug my Jawn becos he cries. he sad becos his wife is ded So note to self: don’t lik his hed.

[to-magic]

am the jon i hav a gun and work with him is much of fun but in the nite i lay in bed and wish that he wud lik my hed

[sherlockwatson]

isn’t it sad that one of the most explicit pieces of evidence that sherlock is attracted to john – him literally asking john out on a date – is also one of the scenes that’s most ignored and summarily dismissed by people. like he literally straight up asks john on a date and then verbally confirms that that’s exactly what he’s doing and it’s taken to be “haha poor sherlock doesn’t know what a date is :)” as opposed to him explicitly expressing the fact that he’s attracted and interested in a relationship with john

[culverton]

#this post was my first words out of the womb

[cloakedvampire]

Coffin: short person, practical about death, not close with family, loves Sherlock,
