Here is a Georgia State Trooper in riot gear at a KKK protest in a north Georgia city back in the 80s. The Trooper is black. Standing in front of him and touching his shield is a curious little boy dressed in a Klan hood and robe. I have stared at this picture and wondered what must have been going through that Trooper’s mind. Before the Trooper is an innocent child who is being taught to hate him because of the color of his skin. The child doesn’t understand what he is being taught, and at this point he doesn’t seem to care. Like any other child his curiosity takes hold and he wants to explore this new thing that this man is holding probably because he can see his reflection in it and that’s a neat thing and he wants to check it out. In this picture I see innocence mixed with hate, the irony of a black man protecting the right of white people to assemble in protest against him, temperance in the face of ignorance, and hope that racism can be broken because this young boy may remember that a black man smiled at him once and he didn’t seem so bad after all.
smh
“Racism isn’t born, folks, it’s taught. I have a two-year-old son. You know what he hates? Naps! End of list.” ~Dennis Leary
I’d like to emphasize the part that says this was in the 80’s.
This is an amazing photograph.

Grant Imahara built an arc reactor with his bare hands. He cosplays as the Tenth Doctor. He built Geoffrey the Robot for Craig Ferguson. He competed in Battlebots. He worked at Lucasfilm and ILM and on upgrading R2 for the prequels.
A perfect person. And yes I typed that all up off the top of my head. Because I want to be Grant when I grow up.
Holy flying slatterpoop, Batman.
This guy should have a cameo part as someone working for Stark Industries. That would be great. Especially if he got to do sciencey tech stuff.
GRANT ILU
GRANT….
Grant Imahara for next companion.
Though he may out-invent and out-awesome the Doctor at this rate…

And now both Steven and Mark are in the Guardian live chat, and oh God they're hilarious
- Steven Moffat: Hello
- Mark Gatiss: You! The second most dangerous man in London!
- Steven Moffat: You! Previously unknown to science!!
- Guest: If you could pick one thing that is your favorite about writing an episode, what would it be?
- Steven Moffat: My fave thing about writing is FINISHING. That's really nice. I LOVE that.
- Mark Gatiss: There's nothing nice about writing.
- Guest: Which one of you would be Sherlock and who would be John?
- Steven Moffat: We're both Watson. Nothing happens very fast .....
- Mark Gatiss: Although I'm the only one who grows a moustache.
- Guest: Does it surprise you with how popular Mycroft is by some of the fans?
- Mark Gatiss: Mycroft's popularity doesn't surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?
- Steven Moffat: It's just a shame Mark is ugly and badly dressed.
- Guest: I've heard a theory on how Sherlock faked his death involving anti-gravity, a cat, and buttered toast. Shall we expect the solution to be any more plausible?
- Steven Moffat: No.
- Guest: I have a theory on how Sherlock faked his death regarding the packets of crisps still in his pockets. Plausible?
- Steven Moffat: Yes, that's it, you've got it.
- Mark Gatiss: Entirely plausible. Were they 'Wotsits'?
- Mark Gatiss: Could crisps cushion his fall?
- Guest: Will John ever get married? Or is he married to his work/Sherlock now?
- Mark Gatiss: John is married to his wok. he's a big fan of Chinese food.
- Guest: Have you guys ever thought about having John and Molly date?
- Steven Moffat: I'm not sure Molly is able to retain John in her memory any time she breaks eye contact with him. Like the Silence in Doctor Who
- Guest: I'm a little confused about the timeline of series 2. Does Hound take place during Scandal? They both seem to be set around christmas time.
- Steven Moffat: Well I'd be interested in the time line theories, that's an old standby of Sherlock Holmes fans. We assumed they happened sequentially, but what do we know?
- Guest: Something I've been dying to know, what was in the present (in Scandal), that Molly bought Sherlock for Christmas? I bet he'd be difficult to buy for!
- Steven Moffat: No idea what Molly bought. Did Sherlock ever open it, that's the question.... Ohhh!!!
- Mark Gatiss: Molly's present? A tantalus, perhaps?
- Steven Moffat: Cocaine!!
- Mark Gatiss: (after in pause in questions flow) Starving. Has everyone had their tea?
- Guest: If you could ask sir Arthur Conan Doyle one question, what would it be?
- Mark Gatiss: How come you're so bloody brilliant? I asked him one last night through a medium, actually. His answer was "Six and three eighths".
- Guest: What do you think of the Believe In Sherlock campaign the fans started back in January?
- Steven Moffat: Best viral marketing campaign ever. And beyond thrilling for us.
- Guest: How long does it typically take you guys to write and film an episode?
- Mark Gatiss: A hundred years.
- Steven Moffat: On a good day.
- Guest: How do you decide who writes each episode?
- Mark Gatiss: We fall into a brown study, consume ten ounces of ship's tobacco and, when the fug clears, we know who's doing what.
- Mark Gatiss: Oh and there's wine.
- Steven Moffat: Do you have wine there? I don't have any wine.
- Mark Gatiss: No wine. no. I'm having bacon and eggs in a minute, though.
- Steven Moffat: I've been trying to make toast. Crumbs all over the computer.
- Guest: Do you have anything you'd like to say to your fans in the United States?
- Steven Moffat: Please watch our shows. And buy the DVDs.
- Guest: Do you have another theme in mind like this season: Love, Fear & Death?
- Mark Gatiss: Yes. Tea, Milk and Sugar.
- Mark Gatiss: Love, Fear & Death are very big. We have to top that. Sloth, Pain & Eczema?
- Guest: How many trench coats are used in the average Sherlock episode?
- Steven Moffat: There is no average Sherlock episode. The very idea!
- Guest: The blood in the show is so realistic! Mind sharing the recipe?
- Steven Moffat: Hit people.
- Mark Gatiss: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhuR1VMkpXM
- Ruth Spencer: We've had thousands of readers and comments today - thank you so much for joining us! Any final thoughts before we go?
- Mark Gatiss: Yes. As a nice surprise for our US fans, I can exclusively reveal that Sherlock faked his death by
- Mark Gatiss: Oh God! We're out of time!
- Steven Moffat: Very exciting to hear from Sherlock fans. I suppose we now have to buckle down and make some more. Or just make some toast. I'd really like some toast.
- Steven Moffat: And yes, please vote for us in the YouTube thing. Cos if we lose we'll be too upset to make any more. And I'll axe Doctor Who as well. And shoot Santa Claus and some puppies.

nouore asked: Advice my old writing professor gave me: After reading what you think is a bad book, get a sheet of paper or a fresh page in a journal. Write down what made the book so difficult to read. Under that, copy a scene that made you cringe. Then re-write that scene, correcting the issues you have with that passage. Finally, compare the two and write down why your text is better.
I love this!!!
