newsweek: popartinferno: newsweek: Julian Assange has a hole in his sock. I wonder if the person who runs the Newsweek tumblr is satisfied with his/her choice of career. So satisfied.

uncdan: There’s a certain kind of racism activist who thinks all white people are the cause of all the racial problems of the world, and that it’s impossible for them to understand.  I had written something about Europe, and I don’t remember the details. It was something to do with the way people in the Balkans had slaughtered each other over minute differences, or how the 1940s Germans saw...

This is disgusting.  Absolutely disgusting.  To serve no jail time after leading your men to the village and killing children, elderly, and handicapped people is disgusting. And if he had received the recommended jail time, he would only have had three months. The system is broken.

“It is illegal for women to go topless in most cities, yet you can buy a magazine...”
– Violet Rose, in Three Steps to Better Sex (via muffdiver) This reminds me of the post going around which contrasted the pathologizing of public breastfeeding with the gratuitous, objectifying images of women’s breasts that can be found in advertising. The legal and social message is that our...

mehreenkasana: “Always use the word ‘Sand’ or ‘Darkness’ or ‘Whispers’ in your title.

GRRM on his female characters:
Facebook question for GRRM: What was your intent in providing such female characters of strength in a genre that typically reduces them to witches, wives, and whores?
George R. R. Martin: To be fair, I have my share of witches, wives, and whores. But I try to make them fully fleshed out human witches, wives, and whores. It all goes back to what I said earlier about common humanity. It seems strange that I have to say this, as a sort of weirdly radical statement, but women are people and they are driven by the same desires that drive men, I think. A desire for respect and power, a desire to protect your children. Greed for money, for acclaim, everyone wants to be loved. It is all common humanity. I just try to write my female characters as I write my males characters. I do take into account it is a very patriarchal society. They are limited to certain roles, some of them fit comfortably within the roles their Westerosi society assigned them. And some of them cannot fit comfortably into those roles, and therefore encounter a certain amount of rejection, or tension, or ridicule as they try to pursue their own dreams or as they frustrate their own dreams. All this is great, all this is conflict, it is character tension, it is what story is all about, the human heart in conflict with itself once again. One of the things that pleases me to no end is that I have so many female readers. They do write me, all the time, that they do like my female characters, and I am very pleased with it.
