[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag.

The way that most of Conan Doyleās Sherlock Holmes storiesā most horrible villains are rich dudes that are abusive to women, in a time such as the 1880ās, compels me.
Thereās a whole subset of Sherlock Holmes stories that could be labeled Asshole Guys Try to Control Womenās Money.
Yup, thereās a huge number of times where Sherlock Holmes is the ONLY person to take a young womanās complaint or worry seriously and finds out someone is up to some serious evil.Ā Holmes also shows a lot of compassion and empathy with the victims over and over again.Ā (This is why I find āSecretly a womanā or āTransā Holmes headcanons much more convincing than āsociopathā Holmes.)
I am never going to shut up about how much I specifically love The Adventure of The Copper Beeches because it is literally Sherlock Holmes listening to a young lady he does not know except as a potential client, agreeing with her that a potential job she has interviewed for that she thinks is SUPER SKETCHY is, indeed, sketchy as fuck and when she says sheās probably gonna take the job anyways because the money is good and she needs it going āOKAY I GUESS but for the love of god please write to us so we know youāre okay we will literally drop everything and jump on a train if you want us toā.
The job turns out to indeed be sketchy as fuck, she writes to them, Holmes and Watson drop everything and jump on a train when she asks them to. I read this story for the first time when I was twelve and it made a HUGE impression.
This is also the basis for a lot of speculation about Holmesā family life.Ā The idea that he has been a victim of abuse, or his mother was abused (or even murdered by his father.)Ā Thereās definitely SOMETHING that makes him very aware of how dangerous isolated families can be, and the dark things that can happen behind closed doors.Ā Plus, of course, the motivation to devote himself to stopping crime.Ā And yes, so much of it is of the personal type.Ā
dude see this is one aspect of the original books i NEVER understand why modern remakes (cough cough) donāt go all in on. Like, in the 21th c we HAVE all the dumb forensic shit that made Victorian Holmes stand out, but we STILL DONāT HAVE uhā¦.you know, compassion for women and minorities, or the willingness to believe them, adequate community support for domestic violence or hate crimes, etc. etc. which youād think is exactly where a renegade consulting detective would come in handy. A good modern day Sherlock Holmes remake, instead of trying to convince us that Holmes is some super genius for being better than fingerprint analysis or whatever, could have him just beā¦a good person who helps out people the police canāt and wonāt help. There you go. Thatās how to write a relevant modern Holmes.
One thing that annoys me is how much the BBC version of Sherlock (and the fandom around it) focus on police cases or cold cases.Ā In the stories, Holmesā bread and butter cases had fuck-all to do with the police and in a few stories, he actively works around/against them, or outright lies to them.Ā Of the many, many things I wish that show had done differently, this is one is particularly obnoxious since itās such a gimme.
There were very few actual murder cases in the Canon, and Holmes handled them either one of two ways:
Option one: The murder victim was innocent while the killer was an abusive bastard, see Speckled Band. Conclusion, arrest and have the killer charged (Or in the case of Speckled Band, indirectly murder him yourself then shrug and go home)
Option two: The victim was murdered to protect someone that the victim was abusing, or for vengeance, see Boscombe Valley, Devilās Foot, Abbey Grange. Conclusion, Oops, I donāt know who the killer is, I am suddenly incompetent, oh look a pheasant.
#my favorite murder in holmes canon#is when they straight up witness a lady murder her blackmailer#do nothing except destroy his other blackmail material#and then straight up lie to lestrade about it#sherlock holmes#more of this in modern adaptations pls (via @cactusspatz )
Letās not forget the time Holmes helps a young woman whoās being catfished by her own stepfather to steal her inheritance, and when the villain sneers that the law canāt touch him, Holmes grabs a horsewhip out of sheerest chivalry.
So, the most canon-accurate iteration of Sherlock Holmes in the last few decades is actually Benoit Blancā¦.
I think itās also important to note, and complicates our ideas about what the highly patriarchal/misogynistic society of 19th century England looked like, that these stories SOLD
they were POPULAR
the Victorians LIKED reading about women who won out over shitty men in their lives, even when that plotline reaffirmed a womanās power and agency or put an active sexist in his place (ie Irene Adler besting Holmes)
which is fascinating in light of. you know. [gestures broadly at all of Victorian gender dynamics, laws, etc.]
So yes, Benoit Blanc is the best modern Sherlock.

oh and when i was a year old, after i got my foot amputated my parents were pushing me around in a stroller at a street festival in miami and i was chewing on my foot or whatever and this street performer came up to us and was like āaw i bet that tastes good!!ā and my dad was like āyeah look at what she did to the other one!!!!ā and pulled back the blanket covering my left leg to show a stump with a huge scar on it and iām pretty sure my dad terrified that poor man
A friend of ours worked in a movie theater.Ā One night, a rowdy little boy decided to kick over all the stands that held up the red velvet cords.
After several attempt to stop him, she finally declared, āIf you keep kicking those over, your leg will fall off!ā
No sooner had she said this than she looked up and was mortified to notice a man standing on a pair of crutches with one leg.
Before she could apologize, he looked down at the boy and sighed, āI used to love to kick those.ā
The kid ran away.
When my sibling was about 4 years old our grandmother came to visit and took her own dentures out to clean them. My sister watched in abject astonishment until my grandmother noticed, turned, and said, āShall I do yours next?ā at which point the kid slapped both hands over her face and yelled, muffled, āMINE DONāT COME OUT!ā and ran away.

congratulations piracy
Ad agency: Please don't steal the King's potatoes, no matter how easy it is.
Regular people: Wait, the King has easily stolen potatoes? How do I get in on this?
Internet users who have been stealing potatoes for years: We made a machine that picks so many potatoes and also that machine is free. Enjoy!
Ad agency: you wouldn't steal a movie?
10 year old me with 0 income and no movie: YOU CAN STEAL MOVIES????
[Image ID: Headline from IFLScience reading: "You Wouldn't Steal a Movie" Advert May Have Led To More People Stealing Movies /End ID]
Fun fact! Both the music and the font in that ad were incorrectly sourced and did not provide compensation to the creators
you donāt realize how important lunch is until youāre wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then itās 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.
lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.
Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder theyāre like this if their parents kept fumbling
āIām having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilitiesā well no wonder, nobody raised you ššš
Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.
for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:
mom, how do i...?
and dad, how do i...?
^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments
if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions
there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look š©· much love

mold pisses me off so much
oh you have to eat your produce the moment it leaves the store or the fuckin Hungering Dust will get it. and. poison your food
I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.
Like. Iāve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.
But now Iām just like.
Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I donāt.
Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?
Pizzaās been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyoneās enjoying the pizza, but if we donāt want āeveryoneā to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.
Thatās just. Thatās how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you donāt make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what canāt be preserved before the dust can.
Life-changing.
