Refusing to leave. Showing up every day. The secret of breaking down barriers. The secret of becoming a writer. The secret of making things happen, and making change. Good thing to remember on MLK Day and as we move into the era that begins on Friday. The era of the Resistance.

The first female African American streetcar conductor in San Francisco ended up becoming a celebrated author and poet, too! Maya Angelou was sixteen when she dropped out of school. She had her heart set on becoming a conductorette because she liked the uniforms. It took two weeks of sitting in the hiring office, refusing to leave until she got an interview, before she wore them down to get the job.

#MLKday showing up is step 1 resist

Oh. Love this notion.

I must be the last person in this fandom to realize this but holy shit. They literally used the same tagline for season 4. They straight-up stole the tagline of a movie famous for its alternate endings.

They’re trolling the world. No wonder this screening was so early. No wonder they’re chilling right now as spoilers leak left and right, after they kept setlock under such close watch, after they had some reviews with the minorest of spoilers deleted, after Sue put entire countries in the basement. They want those spoilers out here right now.

The next three days are going to be incredible.

These photos bring me so much joy. Goodness and grace still thrive; we just have to look harder to find both, in others and ourselves, after 1/20/17.

Happy #ObamaDay

tbh I’d love it if Ella showed up with a sawed-off shotgun like “not on MY watch, i’ve spent too many hours of my life keeping this angry trashcan alive” and there was an epic therapist gunfight battle

Lestrade saves everyone. Then goes home for dinner with Mycroft.

Lestrade

All I want for the Sherlock finale: More Lestrade. Constant Lestrade. Lestrade being useful. Lestrade being necessary. Lestrade, Lestrade, Lestrade.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Sherlock and John, Series 1-4

What have I done?

best part of T6T.

“It’s not a game, Sherlock!” Well yeah,, yeah it kinda is :B

The PERFECT night of tv: Toby and Red cartoon; followed by Molly’s Place (all-female comedy, with Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones as Molly Hooper’s kooky neighbors); followed by Lestrade of the Met (in which Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson solve crimes and then bake together). After midnight: an erotic web series: Lestrade After Dark, in which viewers choose their own ship (Sherstrade, Mystrade, Johnstrade, Lestrolly, Hudstrade . . . ?)

Best new characters in Sherlock series 4 so far. Spin-off cartoon series, please.

Beautiful! And Greg arrives with red and white checkered tablecloth, wine, pizza, and Mycroft offers him a generous tip? 

MYCROFT’S KITCHEN. MYCROFT’S EMPTY FRIDGE. ALL HIS TAKEAWAY MENUS. CALL GREG, MYCROFT. YOU REALLY NEED GREG.

Be still my aching heart…

Beautiful, funny, heartbreaking. Why are we not watching Lestrade of the Met instead of Sherlock?

Lestrade-centric fic rec

Well, it’s been months since I got on Tumblr or AO3, but for some reason I fell into a search for improvements on the first ep of Sherlock series 4 today and found a wonderful little Lestrade fic. Now I have to rec it. It’s called Windhover, by Tammany over on AO3 and provides much-needed extra Lestrade scenes for The Six Thatchers. The relationship between Lestrade and Sherlock is nicely done with sharp, funny dialogue and a warm, old-friends-who-can-say-anything-to-each- other feel. As a Mystrade shipper, I also appreciate the hints at a longterm relationship between the D.I. and Antarctica. Poor John has to take some knocks in this one, so if you’re not up for that, you may not be interested. But the focus is really Lestrade as caretaker. It’s  the Lestradey, Gen fic I needed to get me through a cold, rainy, dark January day. Now just need some Lestrade as falcon art to go along with it!
