I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

Salute to our troops (70s careerwomen who put their hard-earned dollars into homemade gay erotica)

You're welcome.

Thank you for your fanservice.

Rewatching Leverage again and I’m just so fascinated by Nathan Ford. This man manages to be a scary criminal mastermind, a Stressed Father, a Sad but Handsome Antihero, a mischiveous little trickster guy, and a fucking loser all in the span of an episode. And somehow he is also truly Just Some Dude

He has “a feral cat sneaked into my house so now I have no other option than to go buy cat food and a litter box” kind of energy. That literally happens in the show except instead of a cat it’s criminals. He slays in a suit but anytime he gets the chance to play a character he chooses to be the most loser of a man he can come up with. What an interesting critter of a guy

This is a huge reason housing is unaffordable. Make this illegal.

Just this morning there was a news article speaking on why corporations shouldn't own housing. A group of investors bought a huge swath of housing all over northern Ontario. Including in my town. They bought the properties on speculation due to an insane real estate bubble here in Canada. Well now the bubble is bursting, houses are selling for sometimes $100K less than they were purchased for, and the trajectory is that this trend will continue and that houses that are genuinely worth $300K but were bought for $1.1 Million could be selling for very close to their actual value. But back the the corporation. They were so greedy and so cold and uncaring and lacked so much as a tiny shred of community and social responsibility, that they bought all these houses entirely on speculation. So they evicted the residents, boarded them up or left the residents and became absentee landlords because they were not in the landlord business, they were in the speculation business. And so...POP!!!!

These clowns are now filing bankruptcy in the amounts of $124 Million. And the housing that they bought (look at the map of Sault Ste. Marie in the article) will now enter receivership and will revert to creditors. Meaning they will remain off the market for years possibly. Even less attainable than before.

As we as a nation are in the worse housing crisis we have ever experienced. This is EXACTLY the reason corporations should not own residentials properties.

Well one of them. There are other reasons including exclusivity - In my town we have one corporation that owns or manages about 65% of the rental housing. This means if you apply to rent one place and are not accepted, you are automatically not accepted to 65% of the properties in town. And one of the other is that turning a human right (housing) into a commodity never, ever works out well for the little guy. Never! I can think of a hundred more reasons. But anyway here is the article.

make you feel

Something something Nate seeing Sam in Hardison and making sure to preserve the part of him that's sweet and kind and endlessly selfless and wants to help people and warning him against going down a road he can't come back from.

Something something Nate seeing himself in Parker and guiding her cunning and strategic mind to make sure she's equipped for taking over the job and never has to feel the heartbreak and utter defeat he felt after Sam's death because Parker deserves to be happy.

Something something Nate seeing Eliot and knowing he's everything Jimmy could never be and respecting Eliot's loyalty and diligence and honesty because it's pure as gold and rare as silver.

Something something Nate seeing a chance for redemption in Sophie and making sure to wait for her to catch up just as she waited for him to get better because Maggie was the love for Nathan Ford IYS agent but Sophie is the only match for Nate Ford, the man who doesn't kill you, no, he lets God do it and just makes sure it takes.

Something something Nate Ford masterminding not just the crew but his family.

That was explained beautifully

“Arguing that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

#'*please* don't be an exhibitionist' <3

#eliot did his research! he did! he knows quinn's safe to work with he knows he'll do the job #he's pretty sure there's nothing chasing him that'll complicate things for the team #he negotiated comfortably with the guy while quinn was in handcuffs and he's feeling pretty good about himself

#then oh heck oh no quinn. buddy. keep your clothes on. #please don't be like this I'm too invested now at least just wait until we're off the plane— [via @wolves-in-the-world]

#sure i mean now you can have a big background screen full of LEDs projecting a sunset on your actors i guess #but did your set decorator attach a bunch on different sized jars to the ceiling and light them with like several actual light sources? #i am begging film-makers to photograph objects in space again #also a big fan of whatever tf peter stormare was doing in his one scene #‘are you gonna have a cool impressive spectacular costume for lucifer then?’ #‘no it’s just a white suit really. but his bare feet and ankles will be dripping with some fucked up steaming black ichor’ #‘which is never mentioned or explained’ #comic book movies don’t need huge expansive action CGI for every scene #they just need someone to be willing to make it sticky and film something in an actual room that’s actually sticky #like sure this movie has fight scenes with CGI bug swarm men and fields of CGI skeleton demons in the CGI fires of hell #but what you REMEMBER is lucifer being a weirdo and gabriel charred little wing stumps #and a club bouncer holding up a tarot card with a rat in a dress #and keanu reeves blowing cigarette smoke under a glass #and rachel weisz thrashing around in a bathtub fully clothed #for every big expansive spectacle you need something close and sticky and filmed with real objects to maintain good equilibrium
