So a bunch of people are mad that the current two lead actors in Doctor Who are both Brown people?
Good.
[There are plenty of valid reasons to criticise Russell T Davies Who runs, but the cast ain't one of em.]

Hey you Crafty / Art person !
Go do the Thing.
Yeah, I know there are a million reasons *not to* BUT just go start the Thing.
Even if you fail, (you probably won't) even if it sucks, (it probably won't) starting will make you feel better.
You can't finish if you never start.
Also?
Pass this message on !

Oooooooh we could've had an Okoye, the Wakandan Warrior Live action series but nooo!
Instead Disney is busy cancelling the Tiana animated series and memory-holing any mention of LGBTQIA+ people in any and all kids media...

"Shelved because of which party that won the recent election’: Disney allegedly bars Marvel’s ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’ LGBTQ+ episode from airing " -The Mary Sue

Trek People !
Is there a confirmed air date (or even date range) for Star Trek Strange New World Season 3 yet please?
Am in dire need of some hopeful fictional diversions..

Scrubbing through the X-Men movies, and aside from the first film the writers really gave Storm fuck-all to actually *Do*.
She's not even *in* X-Men First class !
Various Animated Series didn't do much better, with her either being basically an Assistant to Professor X or Female Friend for Jean Grey.
No fault to the actresses portraying the character as character was desperately underutilised & underdeveloped.
So disappointing & frustrating.

WOTC and D&D really do seem like they absolutely want most people to be interested in the new 2024 edition ofthe D&D ruleset...

Well shit.

Thank you.

Feels almost as if, if you've haven't read (and memorized) the past 30-odd years of X Men Comics, then X-Men 97 is mostly a confusing mess.
Might be just me though ?
🤷🏿♀️🤨
I want to enjoy a show, not spend hours learning about obscure Easter eggs from wiki's.
Stop making entertainment homework ! 😖

Today had the most frustrating, infuriating conversation with Mother who has a head full of conspiracy theory rubbish & Pseudo science including (but not limited to:
- Lockdowns weren't because of Covid
- No Vaccines work
- Catching COVID is 'No worse than a bad cold'
- She can make a 'strong' Chicken and Garlic (plus secret herbs?!) soup which cures covid
- Not wanting to catch COVID is 'Living my Life in Fear of the inevitable'.
Am so sad & exhausted of *all this*
COVID IS NOT OVER. 😖

Look,
I sew, knit, crochet, macrame and kumihimo. I understand those things.
Still, I look at Quilts and Spun yarn, and freehand Embroidery, and Amigurumi - and my brain screams 'WHAT MAGIC IS THIS!?'
What yarn / thread-craft makes your brain go 'boing' despite knowing how the fundamentals work ?
[Yes I know Amigurumi is knitting / crotchet but it's also structural sculpting which is different to flat piece or loom knitting]

So many people who express an opinion appear to be watching Loki season 2 and hating it and I don't know why they don't just stop watching it ?
Halfway through and I am still loving it though.

@taedryn I'm a (femme, (generally) cis woman) and have only had trash, dispiriting experiences in Victoria secret shops.
If you have any stores near you try a Bravissimo store.
Their staff is generally better trained and they hire diverse body shapes so there is no body size/shape policing.
Good luck 👍🏾
