Honestly? Elementary is, in my opinion, the greatest adaptation of a modern day sherlock. I hate when people think that sherlock was some kind of arrogant, self-centered genius that everyone just tolerated cuz he was so effective. I mean yeah he was a little cold in the books, but he was never needlessly rude and certainly never cruel for the fun of it. He had layers and depth. He had his flaws but ACD always just saw him an ordinary man with extraordinary ability. They way your and JLM's Sherlock builds himself in such different world from ACD's, while still maintaining all that authenticity is mind blowing. Like I genuinely think people should watch this in film school before approaching adaptations. Your team and you truly brought Holmes back to life for an entire generation, and you cast the perfect guy to do it. I just. I'm in awe. Have a good day ig.

I like you. You seem smart.

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.

Sort of relatedly I once had professor who was deaf, but she had learned to read lips and speak so she could communicate easily with hearing people who didn’t know sign language. One day she had gotten off topic and was talking a little about her personal life, so that one of the students said “Oh, I know, I grew up in Brooklyn too.” 

She stared at him for a long time and then said “How do you know I’m from Brooklyn?”

And he said “You have a Brooklyn accent.”

She said “I do?” and the whole class nodded, and then she burst out laughing and said “I had no idea!  The school where I learned to speak was in Brooklyn.  I learned by moving my mouth and tongue the way my teachers did.  So I guess it makes sense that I have their accent, I just never thought about it.”

My moms a sign language interpreter, and she’s signed with people from all over the US. According to her, when she signs with people from the south they sign with a “drawl.” They have slower hand movements and exaggerate certain parts of the sign. People from the Midwest sign very fast and people from the south sign very slow.

So we were at a restaurant once and my mom started interpreting for someone who was trying to order and she was like “oh you’re from the south!”

And they were like “how did you know that?”

And she said “you sign with a drawl.” And they were really surprised that it came through that much.

It’s really interesting that even when not speaking verbally accents and heritage come through.

andor: look at me. this is what a totalitarian surveillance state looks like. “if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear” is a lie told by those who want to keep you subjugated. the people who hold the most power over you do not care about you, only how they can advance their own position, and they will decimate everything you have and are in the process. the only way to save yourself is revolution. are you still paying attention?

Like the guy said. Sometimes the things you need to do to heal might feel silly, but don’t let that stop you.

Heal yourself.
