pillow talk >:3
one of my favourite things about bbc ghosts is it’s ability to make you care deeply about characters with less than five minutes of screen time
The plague ghosts deserve more screen time. That’s it. That’s the post
thinking about the Captain addressing - and healing, in the later episodes - his inner child through his friendship with Kitty. how many times, as a boy, was he told he was ‘too soft’? did he have no problem with skipping around and singing merry nonsensical songs but there was always someone to tell him to stop wasting time? did anyone ever give him that soft-spoken and encouraging pep talk when he felt like he wasn’t good enough? did he, ages ago, possess some of the lightheartedness and the uninhibitedness that Kitty has? and could these qualities have come through a bit better if he had been born in a different time?
during 'bump in the night' we see a guitar in mike and alison's room so..
Rip Sir Humphrey Bone you would’ve loved Mr. Maker
Why is it always about pussy with you?

Reminder that next month is Disability Pride Month. Don't overshadow it with your Gay Wrath Month please. Disabled people are always ignored and told to stay quiet, and I'm so sick of it.
Made these about a month ago, figured other spoonies might want to use them
Scotland is the best thing to have ever happened
So obviously furries exist but the Tories and the British media trying to whip up a culture war frenzy about “Kids in schools identifying as cats” runs into one major problem…
Kids fucking love to wind adults up, especially those in positions of perceived authority.
Imagine sitting in class, knowing if you say something funny that it could end up on national news because your head teacher is a frothing culture war bigot.
Imagine all the other kids going along with it and backing them up.
There have been several articles about this. The Daily Mail is panicking about a 'furry outbreak' because some kids wear cat ears
Yeah, it’s also a story that’s entirely imported from Canada and the US where there’s been articles about kids requesting to use cat litter boxes instead of normal toilets.
All complete nonsense but idiot bigots love getting themselves all worked up about imaginary things.
The US schools had kitty litter for if they had to lock down for hours during a mass shooting btw. Right-wingers just decided to blame furries and get mad over made-up shit instead of the fact that schools have to deal with mass shootings.
we literally need more and better feminism
we need ugly gross disgusting feminism again without conforming to aesthetics and advertisement companies i want pit hair i want leg hair i want weird haircuts i want to get rid of diet culture and ads for pink razors and make-up i want women to reject biological determinism and push away from the overwhelming tradwife narratives that social media feeds everyone ('natural hormone cycles' and 'divine feminine' and all of that shit) etc. i want more women working i want heterosexual relationships to get more balanced i also want it to be a norm for heterosexual couples to assess role assignments in the relationships and think critically about why they want children i want having children not to be something people just do because it is expected of them. I want a dyke for president. Etcetera
I love when tumblr glitches and attributes the wrong picture to the wrong post. Imagine Thomas Thorne—of all people—giving someone mental health advice!
Image I.D. — A screenshot of a glitch that happened with one of my “liked” notes. The “liked” post was for Mental Health Resources, but the misatributed image is a post I made about Thomas Thorne.
Still remember when a homo- and transphobic acquaintance tried to bring up JKR’s views on trans people in conversation and I shut it down with «oh yeah she’s been saying a lot of dumb shit on Twitter after she finished writing Harry Potter, like when she claimed Dumbledore was gay, just to be politically correct», which made it absolutely impossible for him to admit that he agreed with anything JKR had ever said. Sometimes you just have to weaponise people’s homophobia against their transphobia.
Other ways to stop family members/acquaintances from going on bigoted rants:
- «Isn’t this all a bit silly? I mean, I’m more concerned about the economy/the war in Ukraine/covid/my job» - weaponised whataboutism
- «Do you work with a lot of trans people? Because it seems like this is a problem you frequently encounter in everyday life from the way you talk about it» and when they say they don’t, follow up with «well then I don’t see what you’re making such a fuss about»
- «Idk, I haven’t been much on social media lately, I think Twitter is a waste of time» - make them feel like they’re the ones who are terminally online
- «Idk, I’m not that concernced with other people’s genitals and sex lives» - creep shaming
The point is that I’ve used all of these in various contexts and they’ve saved a good number of dinner table conversations from derailing into pointless debating. You don’t de-radicalise friends and family members by entering into political discussions they initiate just to stir up shit. You de-radicalise them by shifting the focus away from their shitty opinions and onto the things you have in common and the practical everyday stuff that exists outside their internet echo chambers.
yesterday, at the paris pride march, I noticed something amongst signs.
Those that represented sexual or romantic orientations (I could except asexuality and aromanticism in that though) were jokes and references to various stuff.
Those that represented transidentity and gender non conformity were about begging for life, and imploring everyone to listen to their voices. It was long paragraphs, "trans rights are human rights", "we deserve to live", "you're not alone" and such. Even my own sign was like that.
Trans (and by extension gender non conformity) rights are in danger. People seem to hate us more and more as time goes on. I honestly don't really know how to cope. It almost seems hopeless tbh.
So just something I noticed that deeply broke my heart.
