Advice to Myself

Fact: Everyone is allowed to have opinions.

Fact: No one’s opinion is above criticism.

A good apology is two things: 1. Admiting you were wrong 2. Saying you’re sorry

Do not try to include anything else. Apologies are not about you. They are about the person you’ve hurt. If you catch yourself defending yourself or blaming the person you hurt, stop. You’re doing it wrong.

You have fucked up, and you will fuck up again.

Never ever ever ever read the comments on a youtube video.

Ever.

I will never get over how many people think it’s more OK to get angry at someone for pointing out racism than it is to be angry that people are being racist.

Dear Sherlock fans who keep coming into the Elementary tag and telling everyone to play nice,

You seem like good people; your intentions seem good. However, you are not helping anything at all.

If you want to help the situation between these two fandoms, stop telling Elementary fans to calm down and start telling your fellow Sherlock fans to stop tagging their hate.

I’m sick of people saying Elementary fans are overreacting. Pointing out racism/sexism/classism/etc and trying to keep hate out of the Elementary tag are in no way the same as starting and perpetuating it. And if you are angrier at the Elementary fandom for the defense of Elementary than you are at the Sherlock fandom for all the racist/sexist/classist/etc hate that they have posted and continue to post in the tag, you really need to reexamine your priorities.

You can like something and criticise it.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

House booty is bad booty.

Some people are assholes. Don’t let them ruin your day.
