Good luck and stay safe!!
Thanks so much, Lena! In my polling place there weren’t any problems, but in some places of Barcelona things are getting bad. The Spanish antiriot police have been beating peaceful people (even old people!!) who were just occupying schools and waiting to vote. This is how democracy works in Spain right now!

I also hate how Meera was affected by the show's treatment of show!Bran 😣😭 she also deserved better. So did Jojen! 😭😭😭
Me too!! My poor babies... :’( I don’t know if we’ll ever see her again, but depending on what their plans for her are, I prefer that they leave her be in Greywater Watch with her family. And with everything she went through, all the effort she made, and she just got a “Thank you” from “Bran”... I just would have loved a scene between her and Sansa (and maybe Arya too) in which they thanked her for everything she’d done. SHE LOST EVERYTHING AND SHE RISKED HER LIFE MORE THAN ONCE!! Meera deserves more love and more recognition. Well, in general Team Bran deserves so much better in the show...
What's your opinion on Sherlock being transgender? Do you believe the theory?
In Doyle: I don't see any reason at all to *not* believe it, and as that graphic in my queue (was it posted?) talked about, it sure does explain a lot in the canon, doesn't it! Mainly I love it as an idea some of my favorite fan-creators have made great art with. In BBC: We've seen... quite a bit of skin, haven't we? Particularly in ASIB with Sherlock draped in the bedsheet. And if he had top surgery he had some *really* good plastic surgeries to have that little of scarring. So I can more easily buy him as nonbinary, though I don't want to presume all transgender people have to have surgery even if they're presenting in obviously male bodies. For example, if he took hormone blockers as a kid, might he have never developed breasts in the first place?Interesting how all the fic I've read on this topic with BBC Sherlock have him as born with a female body, transitioning to male, rather than born in a male body but sees herself as female. A pre-op MTF trans!Sherlock in love with John who can't see himself loving a man because of his repressed bisexuality but where in this case Sherlock really and truly is a girl's name... that's a fic I'd read the heck out of, if done well.In the end, that's what it always comes down to for me: "if done well." I'll buy pretty much anything if the author does the work to convince me it makes sense, so it's a good story and still feels like the characters I love. I will say, I don't read fic looking to see people like me represented -- not saying that's a wrong way to read or not a valid concern, it's just not near the top of what *I'm* looking for in my reading. So I'm not going to personally be interested in a story with a transgender Sherlock because I want to see more exploration of their experience; it's going to have to be because this makes sense for this particular character, or at least makes for a more interesting read. And when that's the case, I'll love the fic the more.

They also hate Bran Stark - they have such ableist attitudes towards him and only use him as an exposition machine 😭😭😭😭😭😤😤😤😤 they don't care at all about humanizing him at all!!!!!!
Yes!! I’m so sad because I love book!Bran so much and I enjoyed reading his chapters :’( I’m pretty sure they hate him (or maybe they just don’t care about him and his storyline), that’s why they decided to “kill him” in my opinion (but they couldn’t kill him completely because he’s so important for the story). For me Bran is dead in the show, he said it, he isn’t Bran anymore and it makes me so sad... AND I NEED TWOW RIGHT NOW!

i'm in the minority but i rly ship arya/meera so i would've loved a scene with them
I don’t ship them, but a scene with them both could have been great :) I would have loved seeing Meera interact with other characters apart from Bran tbh

Right?? I also wish ppl would stop refer to the books as "Game of Thrones". It has become incredibly hard to find book-related content, because the tags has been mixed up beyond repair.
Yes, it’s a pity because this tag was a great way of finding book content... And as for the books being refered to as “Game of Thrones” it’s so true!! When I tell people that I’ve read A Song of Ice and Fire they don’t even know what I’m talking about and I have to say I’ve read the “Game of Thrones” books and it’s so annoying D: jajaja

“Do the math on this one and it comes about to just over ten minutes a...”
We were told not to spend more than 10 mins on each paper, you should be able to read the abstract, intro and conclusion in that time and determine if the paper goes in the good pile or bad pile. Those in the good pile you look at in further detail later.
I stand corrected. And of course you’re right. Though I was in philosophy, so it was less a good/bad pile than relevant/not relevant to the question I was working with - actual quality of thought wasn’t so quickly obvious. But yeah, there’s a definite culling process, and ten minutes per paper is actually a bit generous for that.
Here’s the bit that makes me giggle, though: once you’ve identified a good study/article, you’re still supposed to go back and read it in more depth. Except --and again this is speaking as a philosopher/theology/linguistics scholar, and this will probably vary by discipline-- nobody did this. Ain’t nobody got time for that, as the meme says. If you were quoting and positioning yourself against or critiquing or expanding on a certain piece of scholarship, sure, but if it was just a footnote reference, the ten minute skim was usually all you got.
Maybe I really was a bad scholar, I’m not sure! But it did seem like more than an isolated experience to me, and thinking back it is a bit amusing, this tacit acknowledgment that this was the level awareness so many of us had of our references and sources, by necessity.
I apparently we are now at the “this is would be really quite good, if someone would just upload the contents of my brain-box directly to AO3 without my having to fiddle around with actual writing” stage.
Why must this whole word thing be so exhausting?
