Like my ancestors before me, I hate tradition.

china shops. allegedly a frequent victim of bull attacks. but what did fine, fragile porcelain wares do to bulls that the bull community feels the need to target them so relentlessly?

this and more, on the nine o'clock news--

you'll note that the cover of the book Conrad holds up to represent his version of Doctor Who is explicitly designed to look not, say, like a Target novelisation, but like a Harry Potter book,

because who in real life Britain today is the captain of Team Attempting to Enforce Normativity but her

#doctorwho

And the most biting thing might be -- Conrad isn't even a snarling bigot. In his literal ivory tower, if you call him a good boy and feed him fancy meats, he's as docile as the baby, his perspective on the world so simplistic, so limited, that to the Rani he's a tool, a hammer, just a way to get things done.

#doctorwho

He erases Dr Who's queerness not because he's homophobic, though he is, but because he can't *see* how you could be happy in any way other than the heteronormative nuclear family way *he* would maybe like to be happy. He enforces it because it's all he knows.

#doctorwho

The Camp of the Dispossessed, as they call it on Unleashed, comes to be not because Conrad puts them there, but, and they say this explicitly, because he's not *thinking* about them.

The weather is nice out in Zimbabwe because he remembers to say so, but Shirley and her mates are where they are because in our real society, in our real world, limited, limiting perspectives like Conrad's already put them there.

And he can't *see it*.

#doctorwho

It's the beginning of the Wish World, and the end of the regular world -- now, on BBC One...

~ :tardis: WOO EE OO~

#doctorwho

hahaha sure #doctorwho

firmly in the "I can't quite believe you're allowed to do this on primetime BBC One" zone for me, very enjoyable peak nonsense #doctorwho

truly so much going on there that I'm glad we've got 70 minutes next week #doctorwho

Enforcing normativity is hell. It's torture. No attempt to shave off the things that make us different can be anything else. And the people who do it are *evil*, there's no way to do it and not be evil. Their perspective erases you not even through malice but because they're so small-minded they can't even *comprehend* you.

One of those things that's always gonna work for me and that is always good to put out there, I think. #doctorwho

it doesn't make me a better artist or friend, I don't learn anything new, and I can't do anything about or with the things I do learn

reading about America, its politics, its worst people, all it does does is fill me with dread, and for what? to what benefit?

please cw your Americaposting

maybe what we need is to go back to lolcats

fuck director's cuts of films, give the rest of the crew a shot

caterer's cut

I think losing $4 billion on running a Mastodon server surely wins you the title of Least Competent Fedi Admin from [insert admin of whatever instance you hate the most]

I don't think I have any relevant qualifications to actually do this but I would love to get paid to go places, hear people out for a while, and then tell them exactly why their plan amounts to letting approximately 10-30 wolves loose in their house

hire me as your AI guru (I will tell your company exactly why it should under no circumstance be using the technology we call "AI")
