Men want what they want.
So much of our culture caters to giving men what they want. A high school student invites model Kate Upton to attend his prom, and he’s congratulated for his audacity. A male fan at a Beyoncé concert reaches up to the stage to slap her ass because her ass is there, her ass is magnificent, and he wants to feel it. The science fiction fandom community is once again having a heated discussion, across the Internet, about the ongoing problem of sexual harassment at conventions — countless women are telling all manner of stories about how, without their consent, they are groped, ogled, lured into hotel rooms under false pretenses, physically lifted off the ground, and more.
But men want what they want. We should all lighten up.
It’s hard not to feel humorless as a woman and a feminist, to recognize misogyny in so many forms, some great and some small, and know you’re not imagining things. It’s hard to be told to lighten up because if you lighten up any more, you’re going to float the fuck away. The problem is not that one of these things is happening, it’s that they are all happening, concurrently and constantly.
These are just songs. They are just jokes. They are just movies. It’s just a hug. They’re just breasts. Smile, you’re beautiful. Can’t a man pay you a compliment? In truth, this is all a symptom of a much more virulent cultural sickness — one where women exist to satisfy the whims of men, one where a woman’s worth is consistently diminished or entirely ignored.

DS9 Characters being ridiculous: the definitive collection
I like how Worf being ridiculous is just his normal face.
He doesn’t have a lot of modes.
Nonsense, he’s sort of just barely half-smiling!

Are you fucking kidding me?
Look what arrived yesterday! My Baby Bean Bag Garak Adventures Mug~ It is super cute, I’m a bit overwhelmed. The design is super sharp, just a smidge darker than the colors on my monitor, and painfully adorable. Thank you, anonymous asker, for suggesting BBBGarak merch in the first place, I did not know I needed it.
You can still get one of these, or the watercolor G/B mug, or pretty much anything else from my Society6 store at five dollars off plus free shipping anywhere in the world until midnight Pacific Time tonight (April 13th)!
Repainted Risa Vacation Action Bashir not included. :)

Plus-Sized Woman Rocks Bikini on Hollywood Boulevard to Promote Body Acceptance
Los Angeles is known for many things: great weather, a laidback lifestyle, and Hollywood’s biggest stars. But for many who live in La La Land, the pressure to conform to a certain beauty standard can leave them feeling downright depressed.

the worst type of procrastination is the one where you’re totally insistent that you’re going to be productive, so you spend hours on tumblr, but refuse to catch up on tv shows or anything because “i’m going to work in like a second”
