A Writer Sends Her Novel to Agents Under a Male Pseudonym--And Sees the Discrimination of the Publishing Industry.

bitch-media:

Really interesting article from writer Catherine Nichols: 

“On a dim Saturday morning, I copy-pasted my cover letter and the opening pages of my novel from my regular e-mail into George’s account. I put in the address of one of the agents I’d intended to query under my own name. I didn’t expect to hear back for a few weeks, if at all. It would only be a few queries and then I’d close out my experiment. I

FYI people: painted lenses are bad news.

The paint can scratch the fuck out of the surface of your eyes and potentially ruin your vision forever.

OR if the paint is on the surface, it can scratch the fuck out of your eyelids and lead to infections.

A Cop Killed A White Teen And The #AllLivesMatter Crowd Said Nothing

On the evening of July 26, Zachary Hammond pulled into the parking lot of a Hardee’s in Seneca, South Carolina. Seated next to him was a young woman who had arranged to meet someone there to sell a bag of weed. It’s unclear what Hammond knew about the transaction, but neither the 19-year-old nor his passenger had any idea that the buyer was actually an undercover

laughing-coffins:

{I was thinking about writing earlier today.  Oh gosh, I love to write.  It consumes my thoughts much more often than it should.  But then I started thinking… What exactly makes some writings good, others great, and some just plain bad?  Of course, this is highly, HIGHLY subjective, but I thought I would share my thoughts anyway, because this is as much my writing-practice blog as it is my roleplay blog (the two just happen to overlap a lot).  But, without

ATTENTION SPG FANMILY

iamlintheawesome:

So most of us (if not all) already know about the ten thousand conspiracy theories the fandom has been coming up with lately. I for one would like to see more of other people’s contributions to the theories without scrolling through pages and pages of the “#vice quadrant” tag. So what I propose is that we use the tag “#spg illuminati confirmed” for our conspiracy theories. I have to credit singing-circuitry for the idea, since they came up with it

Not enough people talk about the fact that Leonardo da Vinci was gay. Like, he’s literally the father of modern technology and one of the smartest human beings to ever live and I never ever learned in school that he was gay. 

If all the LGBT people are as “DOOMED” as the bible thumpers think we are, hell, at least we’re in good company. 

I was about to say I can’t believe I didn’t

Here’s What Happened When An Alabama Cop Threatened to Murder a Black Man

In May of 2013, Alexander City, Alabama police officer Troy Middlebrooks was secretly recorded proposing the murder of a black resident, saying that he could hide evidence in order to make the proposed killing look like it was in self-defense, according to a report published by the Guardian Tuesday morning.

But after Vincent Bias, the man Middlebrooks proposes killing in the recording, played the tape to the
