Some Kind Of Sherlock Holmes

im reading up on SQL and one of the things i keep thinking about is little bobby tables

i think it's worth remembering this xkcd from 2013 that's still equally true

Really glad randall xkcd made that "experts often misjudge the average layperson's knowledge of their field" comic bc my prior touchstone for easily conveying the same idea to people was this other xkcd

I’ve noticed that on reddit people are openly and unabashedly racist but tumblr’s got a more irritating flavor of racism. It’s like a masquerade because it all seems nice and accepting and progressive but then ppl are like: yes I’m white but I’m also gay/trans therefore I have full qualification to prioritize my opinion on poc issues! I can’t be racist! I reblogged someone’s Black fursona and diverse mlp gijinkas!! Why are people so aggressive when they post about racism??? It’s not my fault that I’m white. I’m neurodivergent I can’t help but obsess over saying slurs stop attacking meee
