Pour one out for a real one.

Reading up on him, he was a pretty cool guy. He was one of the first people to stand up to John Money about his theories of gender development and position that intersex infants should receive surgery and never be told about it using his abuse of David Reimer as ‘proof’, asserting that Money didn’t have the evidence and standing his ground even when Money straight up started screaming at him. And then later he was proven right when he got into contact with David Reimer, not only discovering proof that Money was wrong but also how abusive and horrific Money had been. He then went on to write advocating for intersex and trans rights and to avoid unnecessary procedures on intersex people without full informed consent and that intersex people are part of natural human variation and that we deserve acceptance and not to be treated like a disorder.

A quote I really like from him: ‘Nature loves diversity, society hates it’

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

he literally did in the fourth one when he's asked if he likes cars more than women

If you asked if he was cool with trans people, he'd probably say "sometimes, aftermarket parts are the only way to get the vehicle you really want. Everyone should have the right to hot rod."

Just two days! Here we have the dashing Jamie McCrimmon and the cosmic hobo that is the Second Doctor. They are one of the great duos in Who. I consider Patrick Troughton one of the best Doctors, old & new. Matt Smith, whom played the Eleventh Doctor took inspiration from him in his portrayal of the Time Lord. Some of my favorite stories that I’d recommend are “Enemy of the World” & “The Mind Robber”. The later I’d also say is one of the best episodes period. I have such a love of this era of Who, when it’s at its best it gives me Twilight Zone vibes. Also if you are a fan of Outlander, you have Jamie McCrimmon to thank for that.

Star Trek—all of it—has been awarded a Peabody Institutional Award.

Any cultural critic or media scholar would tell you that Star Trek, as an enterprise (pun mildly intended), helped invent a model for fandom through its faithful following originating in the '60s. The original sci-fi television series broke new ground for its diverse cast and unapologetically progressive values, like exploration over colonialism and cooperation over violence. For its enduring dedication to storytelling that projects the best of humanity into the distant future, the Star Trek franchise is honored with the Peabody Institutional Award.
