well mannered frivolity is my middle name

Ask me anything   i art k8. You can also find me on DW. This Tumblr is basically all fannish glee and the occasional baby animal.

It’s got to be her. This thing is flying with some serious attitude.

MEEP. 

One of my favorite BSG moments ever.

How about you read the book, then put it on your head to practice your posture? (Why yes, I do that, sometimes.)

apaintedmaypole replied to your post: USE A NSFW TAG

Do you have a way of screening out certain tags? I keep wondering if there’s a browser extension that helps with this, but I haven’t found it yet. I’d love to screen out nsfw and spoilers. :P

There is! It’s a Greasemonkey script called Tumblr Savior. Not perfect - especially since some people fucking refuse to use tags so I end up blocking usernames but what if there’s a reblog of something awesome they posted? THEN WHAT??? - but it is pretty awesome.

I think there’s also a Chrome version if you use that.

I am on this like peanut butter on jelly. Thank you.

Renner grew up with a pygmy goat named Sugar. He’s the oldest kid, with four siblings who range in age from 37 years to 4 months. He and his best friend (the actor Kristoffer Winters, whom he also confusingly refers to as “my brother”) run a successful side business renovating houses. Sometimes he lives in the houses during construction, often without such bourgie comforts as electricity and indoor plumbing. Disciplines he’s studied include but are not limited to: world religion, sociology, criminology, Filipino stick fighting, and Muay Thai martial arts. Previous professions: ski instructor, professional makeup artist. He has taught himself to be unafraid of sharks. He has dined with Colin Powell and has regularly basked in the praise of such luminaries as Sean Penn—but about the only time he’s found himself starstruck was when he met Cesar Millan, TV’s Dog Whisperer. He is, by turns, cut-the-bullshit intense and just-fucking-with-you funny. He’s religiously unsentimental (“I don’t give a shit about the past”) and unabashedly devoted to his cream-colored miniature French bulldog, Franklin.
I’m not saying the dude is weird. I’m saying he contains multitudes.

Greg Rucka on writing women

dcwomenkickingass:

On Tuesday I shared with you some of the thoughts Greg Rucka had about Hollywood, comics and women. Today he’s has an essay on io9 where he talks about writing female characters.

Here’s a sample:

Gender isn’t simply a biological trait; it’s a societal one. The female experience is different from that of the male, and if, as a male writer, you cannot accept that basic premise, then you will never, ever, be able to write women well. A man walking alone through Midtown Manhattan at three in the morning may have concerns for his safety, but I promise you, it’s a very different experience for a woman taking the same walk, and it’s different again for a man wearing a dress. Think about it. That’s a societal factor, and it’s a gendered one, and this is not and can not be subject to debate. If you’re looking to argue that sexism is a thing of the past, that the world is gender-blind, you’re not only wrong, you’re lying to yourself.

I recommend you go read the rest.

Rucka, continuing to be awesome.
