Just got the June update for the GO visual novel. And I—

HELP! This is so funny, I’m giggling to myself at my desk—

David Tennant at the British LGBT Awards where he was presented with LGBT+ Celebrity Ally award ❤ :) (x)

David: With a slogan I attract the ire of the occasional online idiot, but I don't have social media, so even I have tobe told about that by my brilliant wife, Georgia, who is the real engine behind anything we do. She educates me about empathy and understanding and she has been a huge educator for me. But I think, I suppose if I'm honest, I'm a little depressed by the fact that acknowledging that everyone has the right to be who they want to be and live their life how they want to live it, as long as they're not hurting anyone else, should merit any kind of special award or special mention, because it's common sense, isn't it? It is human decency. We shouldn't live in a world where that is worth remarking on. However, until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn't exist anymore... I don't wish ill of her I just wish her to shut up. Whilst we do live in this world, I am honoured to receive this. I'm thrilled to be here and to be a part of this night. Pride is very important in our house. It's a family affair. We have skin in the game. So this event tonight thrills me. It gives me hope, it gives me fire, it gives me energy and deep joy. And even if I feel I don't really deserve this, I'm very pleased and very proud to be receiving it. Thank you all so much.

I'm glad there are people like him in this world

It really does make things seem a little less dismal. And his further encouraging words that day at the LGBT Awards. Specifically when asked about trans youth.

"Please don't feel like you're not loved and that you're not accepted and that you're not, you know... Most people in the world are good and kind and just want you to be able to be who you are. Most people in the world don't really care."

"Everyone's so self obsessed that really the sort of noise that comes from a certain area of the press and of the political class is, it's a minority. It really is. And please don't let that make you feel diminished or dissuaded or discouraged because, you know, you just, you have to be allowed to be yourself. And you are, and you are yourself, and you must thrive and flourish, and we're all here for it."

And honorable mention to this bit:

"It's a tiny bunch of little whinging fuckers that are on the wrong side of history and they'll all go away soon."

(Ixi is, as always, on top of news and footage. Thank you. (x))

All memes left on tumblr for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Queen

I love the moment where Mutt is telling Aziraphale that he can’t go to the shopkeepers meeting because he is taking his beloved spouse out to dinner, and Crowley just…looks like that’s the most valid excuse he’s ever heard in his life

[maria-taiwin]

This panel was really peak comedy

[nimloth87]

Good Omens fanart to channel excess energy, I guess. Crowley definitely invented CD burning, btw (I return to Tumblr after years, I'm glad to see it's still more or less the same :D )

[donatoarts]

One of my favorite approaches to painting is to select a 'domestic' scene, many times hinted at within a narrative but not directly described by an author. This is one such example with Bilbo writing his will for Frodo and contemplating keeping the One Ring. Frodo's Inheritance 11" x 14" Oil on panel private collection

The Skill link and Bond between Beloved and Fitz... The first time ever in the mountains., the second in Verity's Tower and the third in the tunnel filled with water in Clerres. . The are other times they've linked which I have not made yet. I will do so in the future.

P.S. The two trees represent Fitz and Beloved as in Wintrow's window and Bee's dream. They are supposed to be gold and silver but I strayed from the original somewhat... (if I am mistaken about any of this, please feel free to correct me and I will edit the post)

hi :D

Hello, Mae! :D

What's the worst and most unhelpful advice to give Crowley after the final fifteen? I know that's your favourite kind of advice.

(ilu <3)

Try not to weep on the houseplants. Salt water's not good for them.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.

[knottahooker]

Please, PLEASE use Libby. OverDrive. Hoopla. CloudLibrary. Kanopy. Flipster. Freegal. Transparent Language. Mango. Jstor. Your library would not offer it if they could not afford it, and we afford things by reporting the number of people who use that service, so if you don't use the service we can't afford it. It's a cycle. Keep it going, keep using it, and we'll keep providing because we'll be able to justify the cost to the bean counters in government.

They are having a well-deserved break while David Tennant does the life threatening stunts.
