I get very emotional about John Watson sometimes.

He wants to be a good man so much, and he wants to love, but he’s always fighting everything in himself, and it makes him angry and mean and that is the opposite of what he wants to be.

and sherlock sees that, I think.  But john can’t let go.  he just can’t be himself, and he’s hurting himself and everyone around him because of that.

it’s terrible when you can’t live your truth, or be yourself.  it’s horrible when you hate yourself so much that you can’t bring yourself to be that, beause really you would be os much happier if you would be yourslef, but you can’t see that.

poor john

i wish he would let go and let himself love and be true and real.

Laziness: I’d rather sit here than pick up those clothes

Executive Dysfunction: I need to pick up those clothes I need to pick up those clothes why am I still watching this thing on Netflix while sitting down c’mon stand up I need to pick up those clothes I need to pick up those clothes I need to-

Holy shit you nailed it

Laziness: I don’t want to do the thing so I’m not going to do the thing and I’m not going to worry about it because I don’t care.

Procrastination: I’m purposely putting off doing the thing because I don’t want to do the thing and this may or may not be causing me anxiety depending on how important the thing is.

Executive Dysfunction: I may or may not want to do the thing but regardless I can’t seem to do the thing and it is causing me great anxiety because the thing needs to be done.

I can’t really be suggesting that heterosexuality is somehow taught, can I? That it is somehow part of the curriculum?
I would argue that it is very much part of what schools aim to teach. Why else would educational institutions so enthusiastically promote social norms which exclude queers? My own teaching colleagues have criticised my decision to tell my students my partner’s name, Emily, as it’s too much information about my sexuality; straight colleagues wear wedding rings or take the title ‘Mrs.’ Facebook memes celebrate ‘mums and dads’ kissing in front of the kids to show them what loving relationships are like; television programmes depicting same-sex kisses are firmly placed in later timeslots to ‘protect children’. Kissing my partner in the supermarket attracts disgusted glances from people who steer their children quickly away; a family wedding with children present can include more than one gently ribald reference to the wedding night or the honeymoon. In short, heterosexuality is relentlessly advertised by those who practice it; queer sexualities are always taboo in ‘family friendly’ spaces.
