#people don't GET it

[tangerinelabyrinth]

Hi! I'm back with another Martha Jones rant because people just can't understand.

When people talk about the mistreatment of Martha, I've seen so many people focus only on the fact that Ten did not reciprocate her feelings instead of dismissing her valid concerns about her race and the fact she had to endure racism in a time period she was not safe in.

People like Ten so much (Which is fine I don 't care if you like ten, I understand why and am not saying you can't like him) they just excuse everything that happened to Martha and paint him as this entirely innocent person who doesn't know what he is doing when he clearly does.

I've stated before that Ten is not wrong for not having feeling for her, that he is perfectly fine in grieving Rose, but I have outlined the rest of the stuff he does to Martha and how he treats her throughout his run with her all of which is unnecessary and would be extremely confusing for Martha.

I've seen this time and time again in multiple fandoms mind you that people will ignore the important bits for others that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. I say ten is bad for ignoring Martha's race and making her be in a time period she's not safe in. You say he is not bad just because he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Martha Jones enduring racism and misleading terrible treatment from the Doctor beyond him not liking her back is the important part of the conversation Not the fact he does not like her back which I've stated is fine.

I'm not misinterpting Martha and Tens dynamic, it's just exhausting that time and time again I have point out that Martha was treated differently from Rose and Donna, when the proof is right there. We don't even know how Martha's story ends, she went from engaged to someone to married to Mickey. Did she join Torchwood? Did she stay at Unit? who knows. (Which is why I want them to bring her back for like an episode so we can know)

I understand that I will never make people just get it, but I won't stop talking about it because it needs to be said, you can't ignore the big picture nor Tens actions even if you like him and that the Marthas mistreatment goes beyond the doctor not liking her back.

but mr bungou stray dog cant you see the value in being a silly little guy?? what do you have against silly little guys ☹️

Value? How can I find any value when it doesn't exist. There is no value in 'living' or this so called 'sillyness' you pin to me. And don't call me 'little guy' I am not 'little' I am a mafia member. I play out your worst fears for money. For life. For my own inhuman gratification of fun, one so far twisted from the social norm you couldnt imagine. And I'm not just a 'guy' I'm not like the other guys my age. They don't get me and you wouldn't either. If you want 'little' go to my annoying co-worker.

Don't ever say anything like this to me again. I have been trained by the port mafia and am a close advisor to it's boss, I wrote multiple underground trade routes for illegal gem transportation and I have killed and felt nothing. Within the blink of an eye I can find out everything about you and wipe you off the face of the earth like windex to a stained window.

You are nothing but a bug for me to crush.

I would like everyone to know that it’s not just Unpopular Female Characters, the overwhelming majority of the male characters I happen to really like are either from obscure, niche properties no one knows about or (more often) also widely disliked.

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
