Been re-reading my copy of Sherlock Holmes, and I never noticed how little Watson actually speaks in the text. Other than a couple questions and a few equivalents of ‘oh my!’, the main way we hear his thoughts are through his narration. Now I know this probably because ACD had a limited amount of words, and watson dialogue wouldn't be as interesting to the readers- But I like the idea of 'WORD FAMOUS DETECTIVE and his hypeman that he brings along’. You never hear a peep out of that guy, he just stands menacingly in the background until Holmes says something like “ah yes. He was 6ft tall.” and he goes “ AHH FUCK YEAH, THATS MY FUCKING BITCH I LOVE YOU YOU’RE THE SMARETEST PEROSN IN THE WORLD I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU GOT THAT LETSS A FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!!” and then falls silent again.

Is my knee-jerk reaction coming through for anyone else

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

I love it when a classicist has clearly gotten so lost in the BCE sauce that their perception of time has become deeply warped. Case in point: the article I’m currently reading just described the Byzantine era as “a period relatively modern.”

in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death

[key-pair]

a rough timeline of events (from memory, there may be inaccuracies, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

the British tabloid press remains, and will always be, fucking evil

[iwilleatyourenglish]

hey! to anyone reblogging this to argue that Arday plagiarized or lied about things like how many races he ran, quick question: even if that were true, in what world does that justify the brutal hounding of a man by the British press, all spurred by the claims of an open racist?

a few things:

the guy who started all this shit is Nathan Cofnas. he was fired from Cambridge's Emmanuel College for making a blog post that said there shouldn't be black professors. his intentions were in no way related to a care for academic accuracy and honesty. he was angry a black man was working at the school that had fired him.

Cofnas started all this by running Arday's work through a plagiarism machine unprompted. not only are those things infamously inaccurate, but Arady was ultimately cleared and- hey, why was Cofnas driven to do that in the first place?

the British press does not give a fuck about academia 99% of the time. they fucking don't. none of this was about education. they saw an opportunity to attack a black man--notably, one in a position of respect and authority--and took it.

even if he had lied about EVERYTHING he's achieved, if Arday had been white, no one in the press would have given a fuck. he would've, in all likelihood, been fired at most.

to people claiming his claims of racism were false, i just... don't believe that one sorry. this is the UK, we're talking about.

'being secular does not automatically make you progressive and being religious does not automatically make you conservative', i say. everyone boos, but i know I'm right

[birdonahotdog]

contrary to social media developers’ beliefs i have literally never once wanted to see posts in anything other than chronological order

[transfaguette]

what i’ve learned in my life is if someone is treating you poorly and youre asking yourself “what magic words can I use to make this person treat me with basic respect,” those words don’t exist and they never will.

I have never read or watched Death Note and i know the whole ‘book that kills people’ premise but from all the shit i see on here it seems to be two teenaged boys acting out this scene over and over
