COVID is slowly becoming a "third world" disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries can't get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.

i think we should start taking beloved archetypes for male characters and using them to make female characters. this woman is an asshole with a heart of gold. this woman is a loveable goofball. this woman is a cool but scarred lone wolf who just wants to protect people. this woman is a badass con artist who is always seen wearing an immaculate suit. this woman is a dilf

Serious question. Why do you hate William Shatner? I searched through your blog trying to find an explanation but I couldn’t find anything, either bcos tumblr search feature sucks or you’ve never explained. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, I’ve just never heard anything really bad about him so I was curious.

I’ve actually answered this question multiple times, but mostly on other ppl’s posts or in tags so it’s understandable if it wasn’t easy to find. I’ll actually link this answer in my pinned post for future ref.

Reasons I dislike William Shatner: 

He was cruel to the cast and crew of Star Trek on set. This is well documented, and the following people have openly spoken out about it or, at the very least, referenced it in passing: George Takei (Sulu), Walter Koenig (Chekov), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), and James Doohan (Scotty). He also completely ripped into a teenage Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher in TNG).

He even betrayed Leonard Nimoy, his lifelong friend, by recording him without his permission for a documentary. They never reconciled. 

He supports Autism Speaks, a for-profit organization whose money goes to “cure research” (i.e. torturing neurodivergent kids in order to “fix” them). When autistic advocates spoke up and asked him to support alternative organizations - ones that actually help autistic people and do not pathologize us - he mocked them. 

He posts regularly on twitter about his disdain for the MeToo movement, and how he believes it’s a cry for attention.

Most recently (June 14, 2020), he expressed annoyance with the concept of a bisexual Captain Kirk. This one is going to take a bit of context, so bear with me: There is a new Star Trek series in the works called “Strange New Worlds” - which is a spinoff of “Star Trek: Discovery” and is a prequel to “Star Trek: The Original Series.” It follows Spock and Captain Pike. There is no indication that Kirk will even be in the show, but that hasn’t stopped people from speculating online. A clickbait article was written, claiming that not only would Kirk be in SNW, but that he would be bisexual. Instead of ignoring it, Shatner dug in his heels and insisted that if CBS ever did such a thing, it would be an example of “cancel culture presentism.” Which is a fancy way of saying “I don’t think bisexual people should be on TV.” Needless to say, that baffled a lot of people - including myself - because not only is that statement biphobic, but because James T. Kirk is undoubtedly coded to be a bisexual/pansexual/m-spec man, and this felt like a huge slap in the face. Like people were being unreasonable for recognizing that he isn't straight. It's like... you played him that way, Bill. You made him flirt with men and check them out. You made him look at Spock like water in a desert. You did that. You don't get to retroactively pretend he's straight.

Edit: Today (August 4, 2020) he posted some transphobic tweets, which I have documented here in two parts.

Don’t you judge me. You’re the selfish one. You’re the one who charged his own brother for a Bluth frozen banana. I mean, it’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, ten dollars?

You guys know this video? Yeah, he isn’t actually indigenous. He’s a Mexican from California who moved to Hawaii.

He’s also misogynistic, an anti-vaxxer, and transphobic
