anything that contains the phrase “secret BBC memo reveals” intrigues me automatically ngl but I want you all to know that as far as I can gather, the facts are even better than this headline

which is to say, this was part of an initiative in the early 1970s that not only featured marginalized groups on BBC programming, but made moves towards handing them editorial control – the BBC had to approve proposals, but after that, the station’s role was primarily to provide technical resources, facilities, and copyright handling. (another notable program under this initiative featured Black teachers discussing racism in the school system, and a link to that – plus discussion of the hurdles it faced – can be found here).

the program on trans experience was aired in 1973.

The programme, featuring trans women, began: “Jokes about ‘the operation’ are all that most people know about transexualism [sic]. Tonight’s group discuss their situation in a more serious and comprehensive way, and draw attention to the many difficulties they endure”.

you can watch Open Door: Transex Liberation Group here (as well as other archived LGBTQ programming from BBC).

WFA is a tray of brownies.

Good Batman comics are like dinner.

Why would I read wfa when I can read Batman comics that are actually good

If you need an idea, I can supply a good argument for Babs to be able to engage in Active duty without regaining the ability to use her legs, and all I need is a video game from 2005 starring a raccoon, a hippo and a paraplegic turtle.

Need to do more Barbara Gordon metas again apparently, I am fading in the consciousness of Tumblr Babs stans

Babs using her oracle 'hacking' (lets be fr she probs already has access) skills to hop into everyones devices at random intervals of the day like:

*Tims phone pings with a tinder notification*

Immediate Text from Barbra: Don't match with her she eats her tortillas cold with no cheese

~

*Duke searches "how do you tell if your seeing ghosts or just sleepy"*

first link on google opens a website that just says in all caps: DUKE YOUR SHIFT IS OVER GO. HOME.

~

just babs knowing everything 24/7. imagine Stephanie starts talking at home about something she's upset about, and her TV just starts blasting cat videos.

Teen Titans (Vol. 3) #89

There's a hot dog vendor in Cass' neighborhood in Gotham who makes a jumbo supreme dog with everything on it every night at around the same time and leaves it on the counter behind him. The next time he turns around it's gone and in it's place there's a fistful of tens. He's got no idea when it started or who he's even making them for. He's got no idea he is the single most protected person in Gotham City.

Barbara-ing is officially a verb [?] Now.

Those tiny handful of instances where Barbara manages to resist her Barbaraness and actually be the mom Cass so desperately needs even if only for a moment without somehow Barbaraing it up >>>>>>

Here's a map by Les McClaine done for the manor. Maybe this will.help?

My theory: Alfred is secretly meta and can create copies of himself. No way he manages an entire manor by himself.

He has gotta have an ability or something. There is literally no other explanation.

This is why I need a blueprint or build of Wayne manor, I need to know how many bathrooms/bedrooms this man is maintaining. I need to know how big that kitchen is. How many fireplaces are there? How does this man keep everything dusted?

Whatever ability Alfred has, GIMME THAT!

Batober Day 11

Thinking about Batgirl era Steph having movie nights with Oracle Babs and both of them being unable to escape a slight empty feeling because it was something they always wanted to do with Cass but never got the chance to.
