actual argument against criticisms over whitewashing (via supercargautier)
Wait. People get that south asians are real, right? No television writer made them up.

“I think a lot about what makes a strong female character. You know, movies and TV shows, these things have influence, my own website. So I think the question of “What makes a strong female character?”, often goes misinterpreted. And instead we get these two-dimensional superwomen, who maybe have one quality that’s played up a lot. Like, you know, a Catwoman type, or she plays her sexuality up a lot and it’s seen as power. But they’re not strong characters who happen to be female, they’re completely flat and they’re basically cardboard characters.
The problem with this is that then people expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple. When in actuality, women are complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy. And women happen to be people!”-Tavi Gevinson for TEDTalks [x]

Just got the email that Doc Martin (who I took Techniques of Fiction with freshman year) agreed to be my thesis advisor next year, so I’ll be writing my creative thesis after all! It was a little shaky, and I wasn’t sure if I’d find an advisor, but now it’s all sorted and all that’s left to do is research and write the damn thing!
I’m both excited and intimidated!!
Anya and I both decided we were too tired/lazy to try to make any of our potential hook ups work out, so instead we got taco bell and watched a little bit of queer as folk together.
This is a very fitting way to end our time living together.
