One of my favorite things in the world is finding other XF fans who are also POC.

“Scully, you’re making this personal” is the worst thing Mulder says in ten seasons and two movies, reblog if you agree.

when i think about all the terrible things that are happening in my country- the us- i think, “what would mulder and scully do?” and the answer is they would fight, of course. they’ve always fought for truth. but you know what else is cool? david and gillian do too. when i march or fight or donate or yell in this world, i am evoking mulder and scully, but david and gillian are right there with me.

we are all fighting together. and that is beautiful.

"...When do you do these things? You do these things when you’re elevating the symbolic politics of bashing Islam over any actual security interest. You do them when you’ve made a deliberate decision to burden human lives to make a public point. In other words, this is not a document that will cause hardship and misery because of regrettable incidental impacts on people injured in the pursuit of a public good. It will cause hardship and misery for tens or hundreds of thousands of people because that is precisely what it is intended to do..."

Anyone else’s blogs turning into a mix of lighthearted fandom content and deeply upsetting politics? Cause mine is.

“Hey, look! There’s lots of money over there!”

“No, no, don’t look at us, look over THERE, where there’s NO MONEY AT ALL.”

yall

just a reminder that hidden figures is a dramatization of the plight of black women working in NASA during the segregation era usa and that the scene where taraji had to run almost half a mile just to use the colored restroom DID NOT happened in real life as told by the real Katherine Johnson herself.  

She simply just used the “white restroom” instead of the white man coming over to the west wing to “destroy and end segregation” quite literally when he used a pry bar to “dismantle” the colored sign on top of the restroom. In reality, Katherine simply used the unlabeled bathroom at Langley and when confronted about it, she simply ignored them racists ass and continued on her merry way.

Don’t let Hollywood’s romanticized trope of the white man savior sensitize your perception to the truth and erase the real stories and struggles of Katherine Johnson and all the other colored people had to go through during that time. This link serves as a good starting point in sifting out the truth from the fiction. stay woke

I remember thinking as I watched this movie that there must have been a very intense production meeting where they agreed on exactly how much white savior BS they would have to put in to get the movie a crossover audience.

This is a real tweet from Donald trump in 2014. Oh my god

[scienceandmysticism]

It’s fearmongering, isolationist, clap trap, techno-paranoia so bogus and dangerous and stupid that it borders on treason.

me @ every single thing that comes out of the Trump administration’s mouths, via the great Dana Scully (The X-Files, “My Struggle”, 1/24/2016). (via scienceandmysticism)
