"Show, Don't Tell!"
writeworld:
luckystrikesme asked: Would you please give an example of two paragraphs of the same subject where one is “showing” and the other is “telling”? I just can’t seem to tell the difference.
“Show, don’t tell” is a prime example of an idiom phrased so vaguely that it confuses more people than it actually helps. I promise you, though, it is helpful. You just have to be in on...

Why isn't New Orleans Mother's Day parade shooting... →

stfuconservatives:
“So I shouldn’t be surprised that the Mother’s Day Parade shooting has largely been forgotten. On Sunday, shots were fired into a crowd during a parade in the New Orleans 7th ward. Police said they saw three suspects running from the scene.
This is the largest mass shooting in the United States where the shooters were still at large after the crime was committed....

There are people who never grow out of the false dichotomy of “outcasts vs. prom kings/queens” that movies about high school and the dumb shit Billie Joe Armstrong says put in their heads and they are people you do not want the misfortune of talking to at a party because they usually pretend to be much drunker than they actually are and will go on at length about...

yes! you’re right! it shouldn’t matter that you’re white, poc, cis, trans*, straight or queer!
BUT IT FUCKING DOES!!! AND INSTEAD OF IMAGINING WE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL AND NON BIGOTED SOCIETY, DO SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THE BIGOTED SYSTEM WE LIVE IN AND STOP ARGUING WITH OPPRESSED GROUPS ABOUT HOW IT ‘SHOULD’ BE PERFECT. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

Damn it, why can’t I remember a decent Zevran quote off the top of my head that isn’t about Wynne’s bosom.
Because he’s always talking about Wynne’s bosom. :|

In Case Anyone Cared...

The ME wiki has both versions of that poem by Charr, as well as any poem he has. But in case anyone wanted to know the other, here is what’s on the wiki:
“O Blue Rose of Illium, if these humble words reach you, then I have joined my ancestors. My dream was to be by your side, a weed beside your beauty, twining together in the warm Tuchanka sun. But though you needed room...

Fandoms: The Good, The Bad, The Insane
Sherlock: Brilliant, brilliant people. Well known for their dedication to the show. One half seems to hate the other for having too much fun, though.
Doctor Who: All Wibbley Wobbley, a little less Timey Wimey. Have a thousand trigger words that seem to set them off into a spasm of feels at any time.
Supernatural: Extremely dedicated to each other, extremely dedicated to the actors and the characters. Because family doesn't end in blood. But by god, THE SHIP WARS ARE TERRIBLE.
Harry Potter: Never underestimate the expanse of this fandom. Harry Potter was an era the world will never forget. Seems to be running out of material though...
Homestuck: Adorable fans, seem to be caught on the edge of either doing something cute or blowing up the entire world. No one really understands it, especially the fans.
Hetalia: People shipping countries. All that needs to be said.
Firefly: A sense of melancholy seems to hang around the fandom...probably due to the fact your favorite character is either dead or sad.
Avengers: Does anyone even question superheroes anymore? Every moment from this movie has been giffed, researched, had fanfic written about it, and has been edited in everyway possible. The whole fandom has a huge hard-on for the villian.
LOTR: Extremely excited about the continuation of their fandom legacy with the Hobbit. Strange obsession with hairy feet.
Orphan Black: In love with Tatiana Maslany. Obsessed with the relationship between a blonde with a french accent and a dorky, queer scientist with dreadlocks. Clone on clone love fests. Don't mention Kira, they'll die. The show's only a few episodes old, but the fandom's love will be eternal. Oh, and Felix has a nice butt.

Blogs for People of Color

alostbird:
All these blogs are run by PoC. And where made for PoC or specifically for ppl in their own respective communities but they are also good for other PoC to follow. Some of these are really informative. Please read all the blogs “About” and “FAQs”, go through the tags, etc. before sending messages. If I missed any blogs…then I’ll make another list…
