Happy Indigenous Peoples Day or “Sorry we lynched 11 Italians, we didn’t think you were white people at the time. So here’s a little tokenism as an apology” Day

I went into NYC the first St. Patrick’s after 9/11 to see some colleagues play together in a band. As I was coming home late that night through Grand Central Terminal, it was almost empty. Suddenly, someone started playing “Amazing Grace” on the bagpipes. I never found out who or where they were.

What's a moment from your life, out of context, that's straight from a movie? Walking up through a noisy street festival in Montmartre, singing, dancing, stalls, shouting, crowds, spilling out at Sacre Coeur. I sat inside in the cool darkness, and suddenly nuns started singing evening vespers.

idk why people think women are easily cowed, most of them look at the single animal most likely to kill them and go 'i'm gonna fuck it'

If your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the Spring Dance. And all it cost was the life of one Romulan transfer, one first-year, and the self-respect of one Student government member. I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain

Always someone at Paramount determined to crack the code of making Star Trek "cool" to "appeal to younger audiences," and it never works. When I was a teen, you know what young, sexy television appealed to me? The slow, verbose, deeply-uncool intellectual political drama of DEEP SPACE FUCKIN NINE 🔥

The Inquisition, what a show The Inquisition, here we go We know you're wishin' That we'd go away But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay

Great thread about the Canadian who gave the world Doctor Who.

1. Doctor Who was created by a Canadian. It debuted 61 years ago today, so here's my big, wild, annual thread about the guy from Toronto who created the famously British show. And how he ended up as a possible target for kidnapping by the FLQ.

Everyone says good morning here?! This is like a hallmark movie where you move back from the nasty big city to the small town, and everyone’s so nice and polite. Where’s my chef/teacher/childhood sweetheart?
