Note

does all the information on here have actual sources or is some of it ur own creation?

Does all the information here have sources?

Yep! Nothing is pulled out of thin air; it’s all rooted in genuine Doctor Who lore. Some of it is speculative with some creative license because it has to be, but everything is firmly based on established canon. I always prioritise canonical responses and specify when I’m being more theoretical.

🧠 How each area is approached ...

🗣️Language: The Gallifreyan language is a conlang, but whenever there’s a real word or concept in Doctor Who lore, I'll provide that first. I always specify when I have to default to the conlang if I can't provide canonical answers.

📅 Friday Facts: These are always hard, real facts, and I always provide a source.

🧬 Biology: I work in medicine, so this is my special interest. It's more comprehensively constructed than any other area. It bases itself on almost every mention of Gallifreyan and Time Lord biology in any medium, supported by anatomical textbooks, online medical databases, and multiple learning resources. All sources are cross-referenced and analysed, ensuring that the biological systems are both true to Doctor Who lore and scientifically rationalised.

💭 Hypothetical Questions: For random questions like "How do Gallifreyans view balloon animals?" or "Do Gallifreyans wear Speedos?" where there's literally no information at all in lore and probably never will be, I use known facts about Gallifreyan society and biology to create the most plausible answers (and before you ask, it's a personal preference for Speedos and balloon animals are just plain weird not matter what planet you're on).

📚 The sources used include ...

You can find the source list for canonical references at the bottom of every post, including this one.

It's currently moving along with the anatomy guide, so right now, it's only focused on biology and is a WIP. This source list extracts and examines the relevant information in the DW EU directly from the primary source to help support anatomical concepts. Each extract is contextually checked. It's all ridiculously academic.

🔍 Then there's the evidence hierarchy ...

Because Doctor Who is such a ridiculous universe with a million conflicting sources, I use an evidence hierarchy to harmonise and prioritise information. The highest priority is at the top:

TV Show: Classic and New series are of joint importance, including animations and info on lost episodes. Any conflicts are sorted on a case-by-case basis.

Spin-offs and Extended Broadcast Media: Full spin-off series (Torchwood, SJA, Class, etc.), BBC-produced minisodes, animations, cartoons, trailers, and charity broadcasts.

BBC Books/Audio: BBC-produced main book ranges, audios, and comics.

Big Finish: Main ranges, crossovers, spin-offs. Excludes alternate universe stories like Doctor Who Unbound and Death Comes to Time.

Other BBC-Licensed Material: Books, audios, comics, and board games. Includes Virgin New Adventures, IDW and Titan ranges, and other BBC-licensed content, plus anything that got deleted from above.

Proximal Sources: Production team comments and other relevant but less reliable sources.

At any point, the answers I give could be invalidated by new releases, but at the time of posting, they’re the most likely and detailed responses you could get. I would absolutely detail every source on Tumblr if I could, but I just don't have the time because unfortunately, this isn’t my full-time job 😭 However, the Anatomy and Physiology Guide will be fully referenced when released.

🎉 So, what's GIL all about?

Essentially, GIL is designed to be a kind of information point where you can ask the weirdest, dumbest, and most intriguing questions and I'll try my best to provide accurate and comprehensive answers that align most with established lore. As mentioned, I specialise particularly in Gallifreyan biology, but I'll take pretty much anything.

Why? I have no idea. Help me.

Do you worship/honour any less known gods?

Also do you try to incorporate all gods (including minor gods) into your practice or do you find yourself sticking with the same few?

hi!! thank you so much for the ask, this is a great question!!! i do try to incorporate all the gods into my practice. to keep it simpler on myself i like to use phrases like "this offering is for all the deathless gods" or something similar like "for all the immortals" "for all the gracious gods" etc. i'll pray to all the theoi in general and talk about my day and thank them for their blessings, then move onto prayers for specific theoi if i have any that day. i also will give offerings to specific theoi solely for them when they have festivals. like for example demeter and kore have a whole string of holidays in the coming weeks, so they'll be getting offerings just for them. i'm a reconstructionist so i really lean into the idea of polytheism as a system of gods that all work together and try to honor that. i'm definitely closer with with some theoi though! i'm an apollon and aphrodite devotee, and i consider apollon my patron god. they get daily worship from me, but i definitely do my best to worship all the theoi. as for lesser known gods i worship: HERAKLES. i think everyone Knows about him but i don't think ive ever met another herakles worshipper on this website. i find his story inspiring, in a way. he's given these impossible tasks and went through so much grief and hardship, and yet he never gives up and always pushes through. and he's not afraid to call on others for help! he's such an interesting figure and i really, really enjoy worshipping him. if anyone's interested in him, i highly suggest the book oxford handbook of herakles. i found a pdf of it online! really good resource. thank you again for this ask and very thoughtful question!! may the gods bless you always with happiness, health, and love <333 as a reminder my ask box is open for more q&a's!!!!

"New Turkey" Introductory Reader

I did so much research for my paper that the final product barely scratched the surface of what I've read or looked up in the course of writing it. As such, I feel like the scope of my paper is very basic compared to the depth of the issue. (And considering how quickly I wrote it, frankly I'm not that sure of its actual writing quality.)

My research topic was current Turkish politics, centering on recent policies of President Erdogan and his party, the AKP, who have dominated the country since the mid-2000s. In particular I wanted to look into the roots of, and meaning behind a sort of party motto/discourse/policy umbrella which started in 2014 when Erdogan became president and announced the arrival of a "New Turkey."

This motto has frequently been compared to "Make America Great Again," and is just as bold and lacking in specific meaning. It is also the mission statement behind much of what's happening in Turkey's social and political climate right now, so for anyone interested in what's been going on in Turkey in the recent past, or curious about where the country's current direction is leading, the "New Turkey" idea is central to everything.

Rather than just delete all my references I thought I would share them here for anyone who's interested. Consider this a bit of "New Turkey" intro. It includes most of what I used in my bibliography and some other sources I looked at but didn't get to include.

I'm including some newspaper articles here-- these are all very introductory-- they're helpful for people with no background at all on Turkey, as well as for anyone who's interested and doesn't want to go through an entire paper's worth of books and articles. All these should be accessible for most people, I think.

“Erdogan Elected Turkey’s President, Promises ‘New Era.’”

"21st Century Will Be the Century of Türkiye: Erdoğan."

"Recep Tayyip Erdogan Sworn in as Turkish President; Swearing-in Ceremony Caps Monthslong Campaign."

"Erdoğan's split personality: the reformer v the tyrant"

"Turkey, lavish new presidential palace proves divisive."

"Turkey Rages at Shoddy Construction of 'Earthquake-Proof' Homes."

(Also looking up information on the Gezi Park protests from 2013 or Fethullah Gülen and his movement will be helpful for newbies as well.)

Behind the cut is all the more scholarly stuff. I've included entries in citation form so all the info you could need is there; I've also included links to everything but I don't know how many will be accessible everywhere, or to people without accounts, or even usable (I had a couple links stop working during the process of writing this.) Hopefully even if you can't access them all through the links provided, looking up the article information or even reaching out to the author will get you access. Happy reading!

Music in the Biblical World + 6 other recent IWS seminars

I was previously an adjunct professor at the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies, where I co-taught a course in multicultural worship.

Every year, the school hosts a summer seminar on campus, then makes the materirals publiclyavailable to hear and read for free.

The June 24-25, 2024 worship seminar included seven sessions on topics of worship renewal taught by members of the IWS faculty. Sessions were planned for those involved in church worship and leadership with the desire to think more deeply and purposefully about worship. Audio recordings, session resources, and seminar photos are available below.

See all of the content at https://iws.edu/2024/08/june-2024-iws-seminar-media/

I want to particularly poin out "Music in the Biblical World," taught by Dr. Andrew Hill. Description of the 1-hour seminar (audio online):

"The session was based on an article in the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Music in Christian Theology, Vol. 3, which offers an overview of the role of music in the Christian Scriptures including the role of King David in the development of Israelite music, the place of the Psalms in First and Second Temple and synagogue worship, the ministry of the Levites as musicians, the Apostle Paul’s exhortation to the Christian churches to ‘sing songs to one another,’ and the music described in the book of Revelation. The essay also explores the theological relationships between the imago Dei and music, and the importance of music in the practice of Christian worship."

45 Easy Saving Tips For Moms On A Budget.

Introduction: Mom on a budget

In this post, we’ll look at several ideas and tactics to assist mom on a budget, save money and stretch their budget even further. From grocery shopping to entertainment, we’ll teach you how to save money and live a more comfortable lifestyle.

So, whether you’re a working mom or a stay-at-home mom, this handbook is for you!

Being a mom is a remarkable experience but can also be financially demanding. Moms frequently have to stretch their salary to cover all their expenditures, from raising children to managing family finances.

On the other hand, moms can learn to live on a budget while still enjoying all the finest things in life with a bit of forethought and clever techniques.

“Who is referred to as mom?”

The term “mom” refers to a mother in a conversational, casual, and widely used sense. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “mom” is a shortened variant of the word “mother” and is used to call one’s mother in a friendly or casual manner. “Mom” is also defined as “a woman who gives birth to or raises a kid” by Merriam-Webster. It is a phrase of affection commonly used in English-speaking nations and other regions. It is often used to address one’s mother in informal contexts, such as with family and friends, among children and teenagers.

Who is a mom on a budget?

A “mom on a budget” is a mother attempting to manage her finances so that she can provide for her family while remaining within her financial limits. This might include discovering ways to save money on recurring costs like food, clothing, and home products and reducing non-essential spending. It may also entail looking for deals and discounts to help stretch her budget even further.

What are the reasons moms require a budget?

Moms may require a budget for a variety of reasons, including:

Raising a kid may be costly: providing for a child, such as food, clothes, shelter, healthcare, and education, can rapidly pile up. A budget can assist a mother in planning for these costs and ensuring that she has enough money to satisfy the demands of her family.

Moms frequently shoulder numerous responsibilities:

Many mothers are also in charge of home money, such as paying bills and saving for the future. A budget can assist them in keeping track of their duties and ensuring they fulfil their financial objectives.

Moms may be single-income earners: A mother may be a single-income earner, which implies she must stretch her income to cover all of her costs. A budget can help individuals manage their money more efficiently, allowing them to make the most of what they have.

Moms may incur unexpected costs: Children are unpredictable, and unforeseen costs, such as medical bills or automobile repairs, may develop. A budget can assist a mother in planning for these costs and ensuring that she has a monetary cushion to fall back on.

45 Simple money-saving ideas for mom on a budget:

Make and stick to a grocery list. This can help you avoid impulse purchases and stick to the necessities, thus saving you money.

Utilize retail discounts and loyalty programs. Many shops provide bulk discounts or prizes for repeat consumers.

Before you buy, compare pricing. For the most excellent price on an item, shop around at several stores or online.

Make use of coupons and promotional codes. Coupons are available in newspapers, online, and through retail applications.

Plan your meals ahead of time. This will allow you to buy only what you need, reducing food waste.

Purchase generic or store-brand items. They are frequently as good as name-brand items but at a lesser price.

Instead of dining out, cook at home. Dining out may be expensive, especially for a family. Cooking at home is typically less expensive, and you have more control over the ingredients.

Purchase seasonal vegetables. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are generally cheaper and taste better.

Shop at bargain or thrift stores. Clothing, toys, and household things are all on sale.

Reduce your use of cable and streaming services. There are several free choices, such as local TV stations and streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.

Consider using public transit or carpooling. This can help you save money on petrol and vehicle upkeep.

When not in use, turn off lights and appliances. This can help you save money on your power bill.

Make use of a programmable thermostat. When you’re not at home, you may set the temperature to be lower, which can help you save money on your heating and cooling bills.

Obtain a library card. You can get free books, movies, and music.

Seek out free activities. Many cities offer free events and activities, such as concerts, festivals, and movie nights.

Organize a garage sale. You may get rid of undesirable goods while earning money.

Instead of disposable diapers, use cloth diapers. This can save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.

Make use of a reusable water bottle. This can save you money on water bottles while also benefiting the environment.

Dry your clothing on a clothesline. It’s free and can help you save money on your power bill.

Instead of credit cards, use cash or a debit card. This helps you in sticking to your budget and avoiding overpaying.

Make your cleaning supplies. You may save money by making your cleaning solutions with items like vinegar and baking soda.

Maintain a low-cost hair and beauty routine. Instead of visiting a salon, you may trim and colour your hair and do your manicure and pedicure.

Reduce the size of your phone plan. You may save money by switching to a lower-cost plan or purchasing a phone with a limited data plan.

Make use of a budgeting app. There are several free applications available to help you track your spending and remain on target.

Make the most of free trials. Many streaming services and subscription boxes offer free trials, which you may use to save money if you cancel before the trial period finishes.

Create your presents. Presents prepared at home can be more personal and less expensive than store-bought gifts.

Make use of a reusable shopping bag. Because many retailers charge for disposable bags, adopting a reusable shopping bag might save you money in the long run.

Prepare your baby’s meal. It is frequently less expensive and healthier than purchasing pre-packaged infant food.

Instead of purchasing throwaway water bottles, use a refillable water bottle for your child’s school lunch.

Instead of paper napkins, use linen napkins. They are washable and reusable, which saves money in the long run.

Collect rainwater in a rain bucket to water plants.

Make a garden. You may save money on groceries by growing your fruits and veggies.

Make homemade slime or playdough. It’s a pleasant hobby that might save you money on purchasing it.

Make use of reusable straws. It is better for the environment and might help you save money on disposable straws.

Make the most of free educational materials. Many free online tools, such as Khan Academy, may assist your child with homework and learning.

Make use of a reusable coffee cup. Customers who bring their cups are often given discounts at coffee shops.

Make use of a reusable produce bag. It’s better for the environment and can help you save money on throwaway plastic bags.

Make use of a reusable lunch bag. It’s better for the environment and can help you save money on throwaway plastic bags.

Make use of a reusable snack bag. It’s better for the environment and can help you save money on throwaway plastic bags.

Purchase in quantity. Paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning products are frequently cheaper when purchased in bulk.

Make use of a power strip. Turning off gadgets that are not in use might help you save money on your power bill.

Make use of a reusable ice pack. It is more environmentally friendly and can save money on throwaway ice packs.

Make use of a reusable container. It is more environmentally friendly and might save you money on throwaway containers.

Reduce your use of appliances.

Another way to save your utility bills is to use your appliances less frequently or during off-peak hours. If feasible, line-dry your laundry outside like Grandma. Open windows to allow air and light to aid circulation and temperature when appropriate.

You can operate appliances like the washing machine and dishwasher at less busy times. Your electric company may categorize this as peak, partly peak, and off-peak hours, so try to avoid peak periods wherever possible.

Look for thrifty buddies.

Spending time with other budget-conscious folks who will support you on your financial journey is crucial. We generally emulate the people we spend the most time with. So looking for other parents who handle their funds efficiently is essential.

That doesn’t imply you should avoid those who make or spend more (or less!) than you.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, being a mom on a budget can be simple. These money-saving tactics can help you make the most of your budget, from developing and keeping a grocery list to cutting back on cable and streaming services. Remember that every little bit helps, and the tiny improvements you make today can add substantial savings in the long run. You may live a more comfortable lifestyle and have more money to go towards the things most important to you and your family by being attentive to your spending for financial self-improvement.

@novafire-is-thinking You are 100% correct, thank you for tagging me LOL :’)

I imagine Ratchet getting a hold of a pharmacopeia and just going what the fuck are humans doing because it’s almost all Latin and Greek references

Or like maybe one of the kids gets a mild infection and June’s stuck at work so she sends Ratchet a digital prescription so he can get Fowler or Jack to pick it up

but it’s like the actual doctor’s copy so it just reads “Amoxicillin 500mg 15 caps TID”

and he’s like what is TID, I need to know this IMMEDIATELY

(TID stands for ter in die, or [one cap] three times per day-- Latin!)

and he’s like oh Primus they’re writing their medical documentation in languages none of them actually speak

it may also bother him that they don’t give exact recommended timings for how to space it out each day, I feel like Cybertronians probably have very exact medical notes but TID can be done a few different ways depending on a bunch of stuff and I can see that stressing him out lmao

“they don’t give you exact times for administering the medication???? incompetency!”

“Ratchet it’s fine, it’s once three times a day”

“but WHEN are those three times????”

honestly that’s a totally fair question lmao

it causes some upset until June explains a little more but even then he’s like this cannot be good, is this part of why their lifespans are so short, oh Primus

some time later Miko ends up skinning her knee pretty badly and needs a prescription topical to keep it clean, so Ratchet reads “AAA” on the prescription record and loses his FUCKING MIND

because AAA can mean “apply to affected area” OR it can mean “abdominal aortic aneurism” (often called a Triple A in shorthand)

so he refuses to believe Miko when she says it’s “literally just a fancier version of Germolene” because of course she would try to be tough about it if she were seriously hurt and he doesn’t fully grasp what aneurisms may present as etc. so he’s like I can’t be 100% sure therefore I trust nothing

at which point he’s fully convinced that Miko is in a significantly worse condition than she is letting on until June finally shows up and confirms that no it’s just a scrape that got a little nasty lmao

(I like to think that if he panics like this hard enough-- like specifically in regards to patient care-- his sirens will just automatically go off, like a reflex for medical bots or something, but Ratchet would find it super embarrassing because most medics have it under control, it’s just that these are humans and he doesn’t know about humans and he wants to help and can’t help and it’s Raf all over again!!! shit!!! at least I knew that was caused by dark energon exposure, I don't know what this is!!! Optimus would know what’s up and try to help calm him down lmao but this is just me thinkin’ out loud)

(also maybe medics would use their sirens if they have any to signal to each other that they need assistance with a patient in certain situations? like an audio alert code system for medical staff bots. IDK I just love the sirens a lot, there’s so much potential)

eventually June would just give him all her old codes for her Elsevier medical textbooks and like five different editions of the Oxford Clinical Handbooks and just lets him learn this shit with a little more context because that has to be better than just letting him look it up online, just Googling things is making him go fully nuts and bolts LOL

this is why we’re careful about abbreviations!!! it can often mean something different between the MD and the PharmD!

Do Cybertronians medics have those writings like humans doctors though.
