It’s the worst! I use the tumblr phone app to read the whole message and then reply via computer. But it’s so, so annoying,

I know! Good tip though about reading the message on my phone. Thanks!

That is fair. Though after both my parents finished their masters they actually ended up just taking a break from reading because they did SO much in school.

Not me. I love to read. I just haven't had the time to read anything but Irish history books and articles in so long. I can't wait to dive back into fiction!

Read ATTWN! It is the absolute best, I devoured it. I have Doyle’s complete Sherlock Holmes but I have yet to read them because I already have a billion and one books to read. I am a chronic book buyer you see.

I will, but I really need to get my thesis done. December is not that far away. Look how quickly we got to July.

I can’t get into MotOE! I loved ATTWN but Poirot doesn’t do it for me and that makes me sad. I want to read more mystery because I love mysteries and thrillers and whatnot.

I haven't read And Then There Were None yet. I think the reason why I love Murder on the Orient Express so much is the ending. I didn't expect it and I love being surprised. I also like Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. Who doesn't love Sherlock?

I don't mean this in an attacking way, I just always wondered and didn't know who to ask. Why is it that a lot of queer people find allies so problematic? I'm still in the process of coming out and so I haven't really been involved much in the queer community (I've been to pride a couple times but that's about it) but I see that a lot of queer people on tumblr really hate allies and I was just wondering why. And then you made that vlogbrothers post and so I was like "there is my window". Okaybye

Allies often try to force their way into the queer community, and often complain that we're ~being exclusive~ when we tell them to get their cishet asses out of our community. Also, anyone who identifies as an ally is saying "this is a big part of who I am" and that's really skeevy -- being an ally is a process, not an identity. And a lot of allies try to hold that over queer people's heads, too, like "I SUPPORT YOU NOW LISTEN TO ME", and uh. Not cool. :|

Basically -- for the most part we're cool with actual allies. Most people who call themselves allies participate in and support problematic behaviour.

Well you definitely don’t suck at friendship, you’re just tired. which is totally fair. I say you should play it by ear, if you feel up for the play then definitely go but if you’re tired you should stay home. Don’t go if you won’t enjoy yourself.

I think I'll take your suggestion and see how I feel tomorrow. The evening performace might be my best bet if I do go. And thanks for say that I don't suck at friendship.

Let me see if I understand this; your friend *runs* the theater company but they themselves are not in the play? They’re not going to be on stage, they had no part in directing the play or anything like that?

She co-founded the theatre group and is the artistic director, but yes, she isn't in the play or directing. This is their first full length production, and I was involved with the group early on, so I want to show my support. I also know the playwright, who is awesome, and I've heard her talk about the play in the past. I think I'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.

If it helps I’m the same way, I get really panicky over my grades too. It’s completely normal, I think everyone is like that over something.

thank you! this really did help a lot. :)

forgettingitsthere answered your question: How do you all feel about this? 

I’d be curious to read the article first, just to see how the cover reflects that. I do feel like they may be doing this for the attention it would garner with the media, but I can't be sure.

 Thank you! And yeah, I'd like to read it as well.
