In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.

Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.

I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them

Genuine question. Would you recommend watching Orphan Black?

omg what a question. uh.......um.................gosh. um...........................

i think season 1 is a no-brainer to recommend, just because it's cool as hell. and then the other four seasons...um...gosh. um...tatiana maslany is really good! it's a joy and a pleasure watching tatiana on screen! and women are there!!

i truly don't know how to answer this. i'm like "of COURSE watch orphan black, helena is literally there!!" and then i remember all that shit that happened to her. and then i remember mk. and i remember the cheese man. and i don't know if i can recommend it, in my heart. was ob deeply meaningful to me? yes. do i still have helena in my icon here on tumblr dot gov in the year 2024? yes. do i still write fic every year for rachel duncan's birthday? yes. should you know who those characters are? yes, absolutely. should you watch the show they're in? um...............................................................................................................

I have not watched the last season of Orphan Black. I’m afraid to, I loved the first few seasons of the show so much but the second to last felt like it was wandering a bit. Should I watch the last season or continue to live my life not knowing? Help.

UM....................................................................

here's the thing. s5 has some effervescent highs (episode 7) (actually, that might be it for me lol) but also some truly shocking lows (episodes 2 & 8). i think you might be better off just not watching it. you don't need to know all that. just assume everything works out for the good guys and the bad guys get their just desserts and you'll basically have seen the whole season

Like we know Biden would never but God imagine if he just had Trump assassinated as an official act right now and then resigned from office. What would SCotUS even do.

day 3964: I am not yet marina and the diamonds

[yourfluffiestnightmare]

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

Süßis Punchlines #23

Kaddi+Süßi: *diskutieren über eine Bekannte die schon wieder auf der Suche nach einem neuen Freund ist*

Kaddi: Sie soll das nicht machen, nur um nicht alleine zu sein, es ist okay allein zu sein. Man muss nicht unbedingt einen Partner haben. Man muss nicht verheiratet sein. Man muss kein Haus haben. Man muss keine zwei Kinder undn Hund haben.

Süßi: Hja. Man könnte stattdessen zwei Häuser haben.
