Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
No more words necessary.

Space Oddity (by Chris Hadfield)
Mission commander Hadfield bids farewell to the ISS, in his own particular fashion.
And it’s brilliant.

Can we just repeat that a few more times,
“The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.”
“The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.”
This makes me sick. Every single time I read an article about misogynistic behaviour in the web, it makes me sick. I cannot understand it, and I feel ashamed of being a man.

Interviewer:There's one thing that's interesting about your books. I noticed that you write women really well and really different. Where does that come from?
George R.R. Martin:You know, I've always considered women to be people.

So good.

brucemanimeanbatwayne; I just finished writing my first short story (a murder mystery) and I made my main character a woman. According to a friend that already read the first draft, he said that I was basically writing Sherlock Holmes fan fiction where the main character was a woman and it was clearly a rip-off. Any advice for coping with people that are going to think I'm "ripping off" another writer?
Neil Gaiman:Don’t show them your stories. It’s not very useful criticism for anyone starting out. What’s important is that you just finished writing your first short story. WELL DONE! (Insert an animation of fireworks here.)
And you know, I won the Hugo Award for a story that ripped off Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories and H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. It was fun.

Me:Great answer by Neil Gaiman. Reblogged in this weird format because, you know, for some reason Tumblr doesn't allow reblogs of questions and answers.
