Executive Order on Education Part. 2: Changes to History Education from "Anti-American" to Patriotic Education.

Sec. 3.  Ending Indoctrination Strategy.  (a)  Within 90 days of the date of this order, to advise the President in formulating future policy, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Attorney General, shall provide an Ending Indoctrination Strategy to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, containing recommendations and a plan for: (i)   eliminating Federal funding or support for illegal and discriminatory treatment and indoctrination in K-12 schools, including based on gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology; and (ii)  protecting parental rights, pursuant to FERPA, 20 U.S.C. 1232g, and the PPRA, 20 U.S.C. 1232h, with respect to any K-12 policies or conduct implicated by the purpose and policy of this order.

This order calls to fundamentally change History Education to explicitly make discussions of Racism and anything 'Anti-American' like discussions of the Civil War and its causes or Segregation and Civil Rights inherently wrong as it discusses the wrongs of America. It also calls for changes to promote more 'Patriotic Education' to showcase 'American Exceptionalism'

THIS IS CENSORSHIP IN ACTION; DO NOT FORGET THE HISTORY OF HOW THE GOVERNMENT TREATED VARIOUS PEOPLES THROUGHOUT THE PAST 250 YEARS!!!

What you don't see and forgot from the episode "The Doctor's Wife."

He brought River Song back. That wasn't her name before. He used the pieces and remnants from the time lords memory boxes.

Which were all the same time lord, desperately trying and pleading for help.

His own Tardis also held a piece of her.

Just like Rose.

Think about Harry Potter and how Voldemort split his soul in pieces. She had that done to her. It's confusing and hard to wrap your head around, but

River/Rose/Missy are all the same person. Shattered because of the games that people played with her. Including him.

She was so shattered that even though he was looking for her, he couldn't see her sitting right there with him the whole time.

It's why he can't think about being with her. It's why she doesn't push to be with him. She knows that he just felt bad for her dying, nothing more. But she won't kill him, because she's not a killer and she does love him. Even if he doesn't love her back.

It's the oldest unrequited love story. Girl has his back but in the end, no one has hers. Not even herself, remember, Master kills Missy. That was her last regeneration. She died. She killed herself. That wasn't the first time, but it was the last time.

It's Aziraphale and Crowley. - Seriously GO LOOK UP CROWLEY for real. Who was he married to? Who did he divorce? He said she was crazy while he was the one talking to spirits. Her baby died and he divorced her. He used her to get the things he needed and then left her.

The Doctor does NOT and has NEVER loved River Song (And If You Think Otherwise, You Must Be Watching a Different Show)

Listen, folks. It’s time to face the facts. The Doctor has NEVER loved River Song. Not even a little bit. And I have 17 rock-solid, completely canonical, absolutely not contradictory reasons to prove it:

He only took her to Calderon Beta to show her the starriest night in the universe on her first night in space jail, which was also their honeymoon night. A night that is literally impossible to replicate with anyone else ever again. But no, not romantic. At. All. Just two people who happen to be married, spending a totally meaningless night under the stars.

He only stuck around for the mystery of her and once it was solved, he… checks notes …continued planning elaborate dates, risked his life for her, wrote her poetry, spent centuries in her company, and doing domestics with her. But yeah. Definitely just a phase.

He kept an entire diary to track their time together. But that’s normal, right? Just an intergalactic, timey-wimey version of a Google Calendar for the woman he definitely does not feel any sort of romance for.

He was willing to let all of time and space collapse just so they could have a linear married life. You know, because that’s what you do for a woman you have no strong romantic feelings for whatsoever.

He planned intricate dates just for her, dressed up for the occasion despite usually looking like a sentient pile of laundry, and bought her custom-tailored outfits so they could match. You know, just friendly little outings. Buddies. Chums. Mates.

Whenever she calls, he comes. No matter the situation, no matter how much danger he’s in, he drops everything and rushes to her side. He’s probably just really into checking his voicemail.

He wrote her love poetry. But, like, strictly in a platonic way. Just some totally neutral iambic pentameter for the fun of it.

Despite being universally known for his terrible time management, he is always perfectly on time for her. Which, of course, doesn’t mean anything. He just suddenly became a scheduling genius when she was around.

He keeps asking her to travel with him. Like, repeatedly. Like, he can’t take the hint that she has a life outside of running around in space. Almost like he wants her there. But that would be ridiculous.

The entire universe knows that the easiest way to lure the Doctor into a trap is to put River in danger. Because he will always come for her. But that’s not love. That’s just… reflexes.

He “only” took her to Darillium because he was lonely. And then, in an act of sheer, meaningless, absolutely not-love-driven desperation, he spent 24 years (and more) being domestic with her. Just hanging out. Not a big deal.

He built a whole planet just so they could have a little more time together. You know, because nothing says "total indifference" like terraforming an entire celestial body.

An entire archipelago, famously known as "The Lovers Dreaming Island", exists where the islands literally form the shape of their intertwined bodies. That’s just standard planet-building, really. All geography is accidental.

He physically defied the laws of the universe to hold onto her data ghost. The whole "ghosts can’t be touched" thing? He literally said, "Mmm, no thanks" then proceeded to french kiss her goodbye. But that’s really just the kind of farewell you give to someone you were forced to be with.

He keeps a spare TARDIS key inside a book called The Time Traveler’s Wife. No significance whatsoever. Probably just the only book lying around.

Her words gave him hope when nothing else could. Her voice became his mantra. But no, not love. Just, you know, some lady saying things.

But yeah, sure, he never loved her. The universe must be wrong. The Doctor must be wrong. The literal geography of an archipelago must be wrong. The foundations of time itself must be wrong. Or… maybe the Doctor is just the most emotionally repressed idiot in the cosmos, and we’ve all spent years watching a romantic tragedy disguised as sci-fi nonsense.

Final Conclusion: The Doctor absolutely, 100%, definitively does not love River Song. And if you believe that, I have a prime piece of real estate in the Medusa Cascade to sell you.

Edit: REBLOGS ARE OFF FOR THIS POST 'CAUSE Y'ALL CAN'T RESPECT A SIMPLE "PUT YOUR CRITICISMS ELSEWHERE" REQUEST. Fuck's sake.

Look, y'all. I keep seeing people talking about how few episodes there are of Netflix's ATLA vs the animated ATLA, saying they 'crammed' things in to eight episodes vs 20, and it's annoying the shit out of me, so here's some math:

Each episode of ATLA's animated version is 23 minutes long. Every episode of the Netflix series is at least 50 minutes long.

The full runtime of the Netflix s1 Avatar is 7 hours, 9 minutes. The full runtime of ATLA animated s1 is 7 hours 40 minutes. So Netflix's ATLA is ... a little shorter, but the difference between the two in actual runtime is 31 minutes.

31 minutes is not small -- it's basically "what if they took your lunch break out of your work day" -- but it's also ... not THAT big of a difference.

There are plenty of other things to criticize, I'm sure -- DON'T SAY THEM ON THIS POST, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT AND I HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SHOW YET -- but the difference in actual runtime between the two shows is actually not that much.

It forever irritates me that Anet calls Eir old and doesn't put their money where their mouth is.

We could have had this if they weren't cowards.
