can we get three cheers for the first entirely non-white TARDIS dynamic in the franchise's history

Sometimes i feel like younger queer kids are getting a bit to bold with openly talking to people they don’t know In The Context Of:

More than once i have had a younger/same age queer person come up to me in public settings and say something about “finding other gays” or clearly clocking me as nonbinary and I’m like :)))))))) hey buddy I’m here with my conservative parents can you fucking not out me :))))))))

Just say you like my outfit or hair and move on, fuck even tell me you like my shoelaces. Don’t call me gay and limp your wrist at me when you don’t even know me? Especially when there’s a bunch of ppl around?

i was out with my ex once when three *very* young queer kids, like thirteen years old, came up to us and asked us “are you guys, you know…” and did the limp wrist thing at us. one of them loudly exclaimed that it was so cool to meet other queer people in real life. this was in public in an unbelievably conservative area - we didn’t even feel safe holding hands because we were surrounded by Mormons. we got lucky that day, but I’m begging y’all to remember that the world doesn’t work like the internet. other queers are real fuckin people. don’t do this shit. OP is right; tell me you like my jacket, or my patches, or the rainbow spokes on my wheelchair, but don’t out either of us!

This used to be standard operating procedure not even ten years ago: NEVER OUT OTHER QUEERS, even if they’re supposedly already out. Never assume that it’s okay to let third parties know that so-and-so is queer. Ever. You never know when you’ve found the one uncle with the heart condition that they can’t bear to risk telling, or the one neighbor who’s just threatening enough that they don’t mention it around, or even the grandma that they haven’t gotten around to mentioning it to yet. You might have just ruined a very important milestone for someone, or you could have put them at actual risk of harm.

Also… stop freaking assuming. If you don’t see a pride flag on them, please don’t just assume. You can’t tell ANYTHING about a person’s gender or partner preferences by what they’re wearing on any given day, what their hair looks like, or whether or not they’re using makeup. You legit cannot, and you look like a jerk when you try.

this is even more important now that Trump is in power.

some people will be choosing to live in the closet and it is not your job to pressure them one way or the other.

protect your lgbtq siblings - honor their choices - and never talk to cops, collaborators, and snitches.

Younger queer people have grown up in a better world, but we’re in a time of backsliding right now. Do NOT out other queer people. Also, I’m not gonna tell you how to present yourselves in public………..but please, I am begging you to re-evaluate HOW safe you are in the current climate.

You tell em, B/12

(What's funnier is that the game for Stray is a total robotic world, but the whole point of the game is the robots actually miss the humans and are replicating what humans did to keep the idea of them alive, so they would actually learn to paint/draw the real way instead of the fake way.)

(I think we all know this is a race between "Rose" and "The Eleventh Hour." But I included the other major recommended starting episodes just to see how this goes.)

Obviously the real answer is Rose, but I'm also putting in a vote for The Woman Who Fell To Earth because there is an active part of the fandom that will do everything they can to prevent other fans from watching and enjoying 13's era, and if I can do anything to spite those people, I will.

people who go on about other people's interpretation of stray characters being "wrong" are so annoying because for the vast majority of characters we get less than 5 lines of dialogue and a lot of it doesn't tell us anything about the character so of course people have to stuff their fan content with headcanons to fill in the blanks and instead of complaining people should channel that energy into making the fanworks they want to see in the world

Got a 20% off coupon when I went to the Sunrise on the Reaping midnight release so I went back and picked these up. I've read part of All Systems Red and fucking adored it, but then I lost my eReader and the hardcovers have always been too expensive for me to justify buying. Looking forward to being extremely normal about this series going forward

Just heard about NaNoWriMo shutting down for good and man, that's a lot of complicated emotions. I haven't done it in a few years, after they fucked up on the whole grooming scandal, and swore off it permanently last year when they tried to use people like me - disabled and/or neurodivergent people - as an excuse for why they were embracing generative AI and taking sponsorships from gen AI companies (it's because, you see, disabled and/or neurodivergent people can't actually write without using AI therefore it's ableist to say gen AI is bad. Needless to say, fuck that).

But geez. NaNo was how I met my first group of friends after I moved away from my hometown. It's how I found my passion for writing. I used to look forward to it so much every year because it was the one time people didn't look at me weird when I said I was trying to write a book. There was something special about sitting in a room full of people all working towards a common goal.

I'm not gonna miss the organization. They fucked up, and then they fucked up some more, and then they fucked up even more. They defied the logic of how many times an organization can fuck up. But the people, the experience, the camaraderie. It hurts to lose that.

The thing nobody tells you is that you can just write down that one scene you've been replaying in your head with no connections to anything. You don't have to wait until the plot get there or until you come up with the rest of the story around it that makes that scene makes sense. You can just write that one scene.

you are so right
