This is the thread the post deserves.

I stopped reading at “At the same time that Santa Fe and Taos undergo a massive and perhaps irreversible gentrification process.” FFS, Taos is a goddamned ski resort and has been an artist colony since 1899. Georgia O’Keeffe moved to Santa Fe in 1984. Both these places were gentrified before this person was even born.…

It takes me weeks back in Brooklyn to recover.

Former Peace Corps volunteer here. If your friend acted like she literally built everything herself then yeah, she sucks. If you hated on her for setting up schools (probably using local laborers) then you’re the shitty person.

When Bernard had his secret conversation with Delores, she was clothed. That tells us a lot about his attitude (in addition to what he actually said).

There’s so many Holmes stories I would have loved to see adapted into Sherlock canon: the Red-Headed League, the Speckled Band, the Mazarin Stone... not everything has to be a World-Ending Catastrophe That Only Our Heroes Can Solve.

Lynx are bad ass af. Adders are pretty rad too, very deadly. I agree, Gryffindor with a snake patronus feels wrong, but then again, snakes have super quick reflexes, which seems pretty Gryffindor-y. Like, they don’t hesitate to strike out at you, there’s no waiting or second-guessing there.
