Gentle reminder that newspapers can’t call incidents “murders” or “kidnappings” if no trial has taken place. They CAN say “suspected murder” or “possible kidnapping”, but they can’t outright call stuff murder etc. because that’s up to a court to decide. So yeah, they tend to use words like “missing” and “killed” instead. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, this isn’t intentional erasure, this is just honestly in journalism.

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.

I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.

My partner and I don't fuck and we don't kiss, for you see it would take away from the depth and profundity of the special bond we share, instead we merely shake hands and gaze longingly into each other's eyes every night before going to bed in separate rooms where we then lay awake thinking about how any sexual relationship between us would be doomed to fail due to our problematic power dynamic and also we've killed for each other, quite a lot actually.

If you were trying to convince a friend to watch doctor who, but you don’t want to overwhelm them with info and long videos, what YouTube/ TikTok videos/ memes would you send them??

I have a friend (who is also literary and nerdy like me and likes Star Wars) who I was talking to about a film she saw recently, and we were discussing an age gap relationship which she described as neither platonic or romantic but deeper and something in the middle grey area (aka the third thing™️). And naturally this led to me info dumping about 12Clara, the peak third thing™️ relationship of all time. I was just wondering anyone recommends any general doctor who edits/ fan trailers or any short 12Clara content???
