Went to Craft and Common with a couple of friends and my mum and painted myself a Doctor Who themed mug.

The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

Travelling to Manchester with a friend to celebrate my birthday and decided that this needed to be the audio of choice.
So far she's finding it enjoyable and fun. :D And she's finding Narvin a good foil for the Doctor.

I thought from the description that this story was going to be extremely fun. From the first five minutes I can say I was extremely right. I love it.

Meanwhile This is Gallifrey is the single best piece of music to come out of New Who.
The End of Time has so many great tracks it's hard to pick a fave. Though The End Draws Near is definitely up there.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
