PSA of the Day: Nonpartisan pro-accountability “grass-roots community advocacy organisation” GetUp! says it’s time to end marriage discrimination in Australia.

After watching this short PSA, hopefully you’ll agree it’s time to end marriage discrimination all over the world.

[towleroad.]

Stephen Fry just linked to this. It’s absolutely beautiful. Why doesn’t everybody understand why gay marriage should be legal?

Remember how you felt when you first saw this? Imagine how you’ll feel when you sit down to watch A Scandal In Belgravia for the first time. Did you just make a strange strangled screaming noise? Me too. We’re the fandom that’s still waiting. Oh, but it’s going to be good.

the french dub of Sherlock is fab, John is perfect

HEADCANON: Sherlock says ‘John’ in a french accent in the bedroom or when he needs body supplies and cannot be bothered to go down to Barts.

Bloody Lestrade! nom

I still understand what they’re saying :3

kjhdshfd they talk so fast at some parts

MIGHT WATCH WHOLE THING IN FRENCH JUST TO HEAR SHERLOCK SAY JOHN

Hnnnnng.

Holy shit

THE WAY SHERLOCK SAYS “JOHN”

I know no French at all but I could watch the whole series like this!

I pulled my wrist from laughing so much at this. Something is clearly wrong here. 

Non.

Quoi?

Vous?

La ferme!

JE SUIS CLEAN.

I think it was Donald Mainstock, the great amateur squash player, who pointed out how lovely I was. Until that time, I think it was safe to say that I’d never really been aware of my own timeless brand of loveliness, but his words smote me because, of course, you see, I am lovely in a fluffy, moist kind of a way and who would have it otherwise? I walk – let’s be splendid about this – in a lightly accented cloud of gorgeousness that isn’t far short from being, quite simply, terrific. The secret of smooth, almost shiny, loveliness of the order of which we are discussing in this simple, frank, creamy, soft way, doesn’t reside in oils, unguents, balms, ointments, creams, astringents, milks, moisturizers, liniments, lubricants, embrocations or balsams, to be rather divine for just one noble moment; it resides, and I mean this in a pink, slightly special way, in one’s attitude of mind. To be gorgeous and high and true and fine and fluffy and moist and sticky and lovely, all you have to do is to believe that one is gorgeous and high and true and fine and fluffy and moist and sticky and lovely, and I believe it of myself. Tremulously, at first, and then with mounting heat and passion because, stopping off for a second to be super again, I’m so often told it. That’s the secret, really.

When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, “After all this time?” And I will say, “Always.
