Luke, running into Leia and Han's home: OMG

Leia & Han: what?

Luke: Long ass story! What you need to know is that I have a baby that looks just like my jedi master, Yoda, and now I'm going to marry the king of Mandalore

Han: *dial up noises*

Leia: .... WHAT?

For years, this has frustrated Ellen Buchanan Weiss, whose toddler son is mixed race. She’s tried searching for photographs online to reference conditions such as chicken pox and hives, but tells me that “even adding the qualifier ‘chicken pox on black child’ yields mostly Caucasian examples.” Recently, she decided to do something to help other parents facing similar barriers, and began collecting photos on her own. Her project Brown Skin Matters is an Instagram account filled with reference images of dermatological conditions on non-white skin. You can see what ant bites can look like on a child who is Hispanic and black. Or how the viral illness Fifths disease can manifest in a child who is black and white.

From the photos, it’s clear that conditions look different on different skin tones. On a post featuring a black child with chicken pox, one person commented: “Thank you! My mom (white) always said she wasn’t sure if we’d actually had chicken pox because they didn’t look how she expected. But the pediatrician said we did.”

While Weiss is not a medical professional, she is working with physicians to review the viewer-submitted photos. She emphasizes that the information on Brown Skin Matters is for educational and reference purposes only, and not a diagnosis. “I’m just a regular person who dearly loves her son and wants equitable representation and resources available to him and other people who look like him,” Weiss says.

in dirk gently's holistic detective agency, todd and amanda refer to each other as "sis" and "bro" respectively, even though anyone with siblings will tell you that that isn't realistic. i posit that the reasoning behind it is that "sis" and "bro" are both gendered terms, and that they are pointedly included in casual conversation as gender affirmation because the brotzman siblings are, in fact, trans. in this essay i will

Tina: so here's the tea

Farah: for the last time, it's called a police report

Tina: do you want the tea or not?

“Farah. I see the Looks. <..></..>You, her. Not her, you.”

“So, what about you and Farah? You’ve been on a road for a while. I wouldn’t have put you two together. On the run… So hot.”

- Amanda and Tina being very interested in Farah’s availability relationship with Todd, 1x04 / 2x02

Bonus: Amanda rambling on and on and on about Farah:

I have watched countless tv shows and movies and i still think till today that Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency had the best representation of female characters

I miss every single one of you amazing girls

Happy women's day

I’ve just started (and finished) watching Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and am EXTREMELY disappointed that there were only two seasons. It’s funny and quirky and I ship Amanda and Martin hard and am in love with the Rowdy 3

I suppose my only recourse is to read the books, but what a shame that such a brilliant adaptation got cut short when other much worse shows get ridiculously long runs. It reminds me of Firefly.
