It’s really vitally important to me the way women are portrayed. As someone who has always felt at times pretty genderless because of my size, it interests me to challenge ideas of prejudice and femininity and what it is to be a woman. It’s still something that I don’t have all the answers for but I would like to make a bit of a difference; do something, anything, that causes people to have more sense of equality….
Imagine; I used to have really long blonde hair, always wearing heels, lots of make-up. I had been someone who was highly feminised and had chosen to look that way, partly because I was 6ft 3in but also I was into that aesthetic. I knew it had to be stripped away. I knew this would be an important part not just for my work but in terms of my own development, because I would be confronting elements of myself that I didn’t want to confront. It was actor’s vanity and personal vanity. To see yourself displayed as unattractive, large, masculine, it’s quite tough… But I know it’s just perspective. A social conditioning that causes us to view these traits in a woman in a negative way, but it’s still hard to watch myself even now. (x)

Amazing.
I want to go to there.
if you’re upset about the finale of your show this week, no matter which show it is, take comfort in the fact that anything that happened can’t possibly be as awful as Dan being Gossip Girl
Get her back for me! Get her back for me now, or I will cut you into pieces.
I desperately want a Vastra/Jenny/Strax spin off. You know, kind of like Torchwood, only with victorian, crime fighting, interspecies lesbians, and a lactating sontaran.
A sad story is emerging from Florida involving a teen arrested and expelled for a lesbian relationship.
Kaitlyn Hunt was a popular student at Sebastian River High School, participating in everything from cheerleading to basketball. Hunt began dating another female student and the latter girl’s parents became enraged, according to Hunt’s parents. Kaitlyn was 17 at the time the relationship began, while her girlfriend was 15. Upon Kaitlyn’s 18th birthday, her girlfriend’s parents sent the police to the Hunt home and the teenager was arrested.
Hunt was charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a child. Then, weeks before her graduation, Hunt was expelled from school.
Well this is some bullshit.

I’m embarrassing at how accurate Taurus describes me.
Oh, Jenny. I was freaking the fuck out when I thought she died. This scene was killing me.
As an American, I don’t know a damn thing about Eurovision but I wish I did because it looks better than all the singing reality shows we have here. I’m enjoying all the posts from all the Europeans I follow. Keep those gifs coming. Yay, Finnish lesbians!
