In 1913, the time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 10) and his companion Martha were chased back through time to Earth 1913 by an alien family. Since the family could detect a Time Lord, the Doctor’s race, the Doctor used a special device to alter his DNA to make him human and forget his true identity. He became a teacher at a school for boys and Martha a servant. The family took over human bodies and continued to search for the Doctor and also managed to create an army of animated scarecrows. ("Human Nature/The Family of Blood", Doctor Who, vlm 3, TV)

Celebrity Gossips: Jaw Dropping Hollywood Scandals
What often goes unnoticed is the behavior that many of these stars engage in. Substance abuse and addiction are issues, among celebrities and due to their presence in the media spotlight these personal struggles become public knowledge. Despite society's perception that these addictions have no consequences for the celebrities themselves they actually do impact not their own lives. Also the lives of their fans. One perfect example is Justin Bieber and his millions of followers. The carefree attitudes exhibited by celebrities like him inadvertently glamorize the behaviors to both adults and impressionable young individuals.

Love is in the Air
_tvd fanfic_Part 1
a/n: this is a light-hearted, romantic little story.
*
New Orleans
"I am all packed" Elijah said to his sister Rebekah on the phone.
"Why Rome?" the blonde asked.
"I just had this idea for my next book. And I need to go there to get the feel of the city, do some research at the archives." Elijah said.
"So, it's going to be another murder mystery with historical background?!" Rebekah stated.
"Burning Wings was such a great success and now they want me to write a sequel," Elijah said, "and a couple of nights ago I had a dream that kind of set this idea in my head to put the plot in Rome."
"Well, I hope it will not all be work- after your divorce you have done nothing but work."
"I plan to take time off and enjoy the city. Stefan is gone with Valerie to visit his brother and his wife Rosalie in Amesterdam and I got his apartment for a whole month." Elijah explained.
Rebekah sighed a little as her brother mentioned her ex-boyfriend Stefan Salvatore.
"I am sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned him."
"It's ok. I just- it will always be hard cuz- you know - I messed ut up and now- ok- right. When is your flight?" Rebekah asked.
"Tomorrow morning. I will call you when I get there." Elijah replied.
"All right. Have a great time. And try not to just work." Rebekah said and with a little bye and Elijah's promise that he will also take time to enjoy his holiday, they hung up.
Pressing the search button, the latest articles with the news popped up. And the picture of the woman he had met ten years ago as he visited his sister, who was studying in the prestige old private Mystic Falls College for liberal arts, now stared at him.
His eyes smiled seeing the photo, which was clearly from one of her premieres as she was a famous actress.
And then he saw the article headline.
Elena Gilbert rumored to be secretly engaged to Mason Wood.
Elijah sighed a little and not reading further, swiped the page off and went to a subject he was interested in.
*
In Florence, Italy
Elena walked in her hotel room followed by her personal assistant and manager, Jo Parker.
"Thank God today was the last day of the shoot. Can you please reschedule everything for at least a week?!" Elena said."I am so going away and I don't want to know about anything. Please."
"All right. So, what shall I book you? Bali?"
"No. I already made my own arrangements." Elena said.
"What? I didn't want to ask - but - are you seeing Mason again?" Jo asked.
"No. Well, we hooked up again- and that's all" Elena replied waving away with an insignificant huff.
"Right. Do you want me to say something about the non-engagement? It's all over the internet"
"No. Just leave it. It will blow over. Especially when they soon see him with Erin." Elena explained.
"Erin Lindsay? Seriously?" Jo now asked.
"A couple of days after our hook up I saw him with her all lovey at the same hotel." Elena said followed by a little sigh.
"Oh, sweety - you still thought that -"
"Yeah- I kind of thought that maybe the hook up would be - but things were over with us ages ago- I don't know why I thought that there - and I am not even in love with him really - anyway, enough of it."
"Where are you going?" the manager asked.
"Rome." Elena replied.
"Rome?" Jo was surprised.
"Yes. And I am going incognito. I got Francesca's keys to her apartment. I need to get away from everything and everyone. Take a week off- maybe two." Elena replied.
"Ok. I have something for you to read. Liv is still negotiating to get the rights to do a movie, but it's nearly in the bag and Tristan is very interested in producing this," Jo now got a book out of her bag, adding,"it's a historical thriller and you would be playing Angel, she is a 15th century librarian, who investigates a murder involving an ancient curse. The book was No.1 everywhere!"
Elena took the book and looked at it, muttering,"Elijah Smith?" and then turned the book around. The face on the back now made her heart jump.
"Interested? The book is really good - there are so many twists and turns - I could not put it down till I finished it. There is a very ambiguous cliffhanger at the end - and apparently there is going to be Burning Wings 2- Elena?"
"Ha? What?" Elena now snapped out of her momentary daze.
"Interested?"
"Yeah" Elena said breathing in a gulp.
Jo smiled a little, gathering why Elena got a tad bit taken in.
"He is such an eye-candy, right?"
"Yeah" Elena said and put the book down on the table.
"What's up?"
"Nothing," Elena replied, "ahm- I want to go shower and I think I will hit the bed."
"All right. I will see you at breakfast? Shall I rent- a- car for you?"
"Yes, please. Thanks, Jo. Sorry, I am just so wasted."- Elena now said rubbing her neck a bit.
"I know. Don't worry. Ok. See you in the morning." Jo said and then taking her bag from the chair left the actress's room.
As the door clicked on the way out, Elena now shot a look at the book, flashing back to the past.
Flashback
Ten years back
"May I?" Elijah asked politely for the seat on the bench.
"Yes" Elena said removing the books so the man could sit down.
"Maybe it appears odd that I want to sit here though the other bench over there is empty, but it's too exposed on the sun and it's such a great shade here under this oak" Elijah said as he sat down.
"Yeah- it's crazy hot today," Elena replied,"and it's only May"
Elijah's eyes now descended on one of the books - "Roman Tragedy", and then a guide book on Rome. "Ah, Rome - such a great city."
Elena now swayed her look from her book she was reading.
"Have you been there?"
"Yes, last summer. With my sister Rebekah and my brother Kol." Elijah replied.
"Rebekah is your sister?"
"Yes. I am here to meet her. And she specificly said - to be at the White Oak Tree. She is running late. You know her?" Elijah explained.
"We are in the play together." Elena replied.
"Oh, really? She didn't say anything about it. Is she any good?"
Elena nodded a little.
"Not that great, ha?"
"She is, and she could be excellent, but she seems not to care that much. Ok, I shouldn't saybanything really."
"Oh, you're ok. She is my sister and I love her, but I know what she is like. She excels only at things she really is passionate about, and if she is not - well, she can be superficial."
"Yeah" Elena slipped.
"She wants to be a designer, she told me and I saw some of her designs - and they are amazing. Her show is the evening. But I guess, you know that?!" Elena said.
"Yes, that's why I am here." Elijah now said.
He then saw Rebekah approaching and he stood up. And just before he went to his sister, he turned to the brunette, introducing himself, "I'm Elijah."
"I'm Elena." the woman said.

So people keep pointing out that TTPD has a fuckton of names on it. But how many names are on it exactly? And how does that compare to other albums? Well you’re in luck because I went and counted every name* on every Taylor Swift album just for you:
Debut:
Tim McGraw
Drew
Cory
Mary
Fearless TV:
Abigail
Romeo
Juliet
Stephen
Speak Now TV:
John
Emma
Cleopatra
Red TV:
Achilles

Bobby
James Taylor
Ronan
1989 TV:
James Dean
Reputation:
Burton
Taylor
Bonnie
Clyde
Gatsby
Lover:

Folklore:
Peter
Wendy
Rebekah
Bill
Dalí
Betty
Inez

Breakdown:
Debut: 4
Fearless TV: 4
Speak Now TV: 3
Red TV: 5
1989 TV: 1
Reputation: 5
Lover: 5
Folklore: 8
Evermore: 3
Midnights: 3
The Tortured Poets Department: 19
*For something to count as a name for the purposes of this list, it had to meet all of the following criteria:
It appears in the title and/or lyrics of a song on a Taylor Swift album.
It is a name.
It is used as a name in the context of the song (for example, Ivy is a name but it is not used as a name in the song, so it’s not on the list).
How I determined if criteria 2 and 3 had been met if it was ambiguous was just vibes. Feel free to argue in the comments that I should have included Superman, Cornelia, and Louis V and shouldn’t have included Achilles and Ken. And let me know if I missed any!

Promise Edwards, a single mother of three living in Laurens, South Carolina, spends her spare time passing QR codes out to schools, churches and members of her local community. Scan one, and you'll be led to an online document full of LGBTQ+ resources across the state — which Edwards hopes to expand to a nationwide list by 2024.
The heart-shaped codes — on stickers, embedded in keychains, printed on T-shirts and more — are sometimes adorned with sparkles or owls because, according to Edwards, they were "Jacob's favorite thing."
Edwards, known as Aunt Lulu to 18-year-old Jacob Williamson, welcomed the newly out teen into her home after he was kicked out of his own.
"The day after he moved in with me, he said, 'I'm trans, and I go by he/him and I want to be called Jacob,'" said Edwards, whose mother had been Edwards' childhood best friend. "I said, 'OK. I love you,'"
"He was only allowed to be himself for 28 days."
Four weeks after Williamson went to live with Edwards in June, he went missing after going to meet up with online friends for the first time.
Edwards had begged him not to go, even asking her boss to change his shift at the Waffle House where they both worked to make scheduling harder — but Jacob was unconvinced. He shared his location with Edwards through an app, got in the car and left.
It was the last time Edwards would see him alive.
After she could neither get in touch with him nor see his updated location, Edwards reported him missing and spent the next four days talking to law enforcement, hanging posters, and frantically searching for Williamson. She knocked on doors, passed out flyers and posted online — but to no avail.
His body was discovered by police on the side of a South Carolina road — just three days before Edwards' 37th birthday.
Williamson was at least the 14th trans person murdered in the U.S. in 2023, against a worrying backdrop of statistics that show trans people are more at risk than ever, despite only making up an estimated 0.5% of the U.S. population.
Data compiled shows 320 trans and gender-diverse people were reported murdered between October 2022 and September 2023, according to nonprofit Transgender Europe, though actual numbers could be even higher.
Ninety-four percent of the victims were trans feminine people or transgender women — meaning they were not assigned female at birth — and three-quarters were younger adults, between the ages of 19 and 40.
"Most victims were Black and trans women of colour, and trans sex workers," stated the report, its Nov. 13 publication intentionally coinciding with the start of Trans Awareness Week.
The week culminates each year in Trans Day of Remembrance, which was founded on Nov. 20, 1999, by trans advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith, to honor Rita Hester, a trans woman who had been killed the year before. The vigil honored Hester and the deaths of all the other trans people who had been lost to violence that year, according to GLAAD.
"It's a day to honor and remember the folks that have died, but it's also a chance for us to reckon with, where do we go from here?" said Arielle Rebekah, communications consultant at the Transgender Law Center.
"Every day is the day to think of a way forward," they said.
Mariah Moore, the co-director of policy and programs at the Transgender Law Center, agreed and reflected on how imperative it is for allies to show up for trans people.
"A lot of folks are very vulnerable and feel alone and isolated," she says. "You could change the trajectory of someone's life by simply saying something — letting them know that they have someone ... that is also standing beside them, willing to fight for them."
In addition to her work at the Transgender Law Center, Moore is also one of the co-founders of an organization called House of Tulip, which was born during the COVID-19 pandemic and works to find long-term housing solutions for trans and gender non-conforming people in Louisiana, where she is based.
"The goal is to help folks build a stable foundation so that they can have access to the futures that come so easily to others," she says, adding that the organization is a shining reflection of successful "coalition work;" identifying a cycle and working to fill a need by collaborating with others and sharing knowledge and resources.
In the U.S., 586 anti-trans bills have been introduced in state legislatures this year alone, and aim to restrict or completely ban access to gender-affirming care, rid trans youth of the ability to participate in sports, arts and clubs — and in more extreme cases, even threaten parents with child abuse charges for affirming their kids' gender identities.
In the current tenuous political climate, the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth is worsening, according to the results of a national survey by The Trevor Project, which found that 41% of LGBTQ+ young people had seriously considered suicide in the past year. Additionally, youth who are transgender, nonbinary and/or people of color reported higher rates of suicidal ideation than their cisgender and White peers.
"I feel that Jacob was not targeted because he was trans, but yet, he was targeted because he was trans," says Edwards. "These people preyed on the fact that Jacob was partially out; that Jacob was ostracized from his family; that he had nobody but me and my family."
Since Williamson's murder, Edwards says that while many in her life — including close friends and family — have turned their backs on her, the trans community has embraced her with open arms as she continues to fight for justice for Jacob.
"I really just wish we could have had this support when Jacob was alive," she said. "And we probably wouldn't even be talking right now."
But further data from The Trevor Project provides a glimmer of hope for others within the trans and gender non-conforming community: youth who reported gender-affirming school and home environments reported significantly decreased rates of suicidal ideation — with actions as small as being addressed by their correct pronouns, having access to gender-neutral bathrooms or being able to wear gender-affirming clothing making a noticeable difference.
As Rebekah puts it, "Even in the face of this violence, we are thriving."
"Yes, we might be under attack," adds Moore. "But guess what? We've also fought back. And we're winning."
Each year, though violence against the community soars, young people are increasingly identifying as trans and seeing themselves reflected in culture, including in film, television and literature. Transgender Day of Visibility is even now recognized by the White House.
"My life is great," says YouTube star Eden Estrada, also known by her online alias, Eden the Doll. "I had a hiccup, but my life is good."
In August 2020, video depicting a violent attack on Estrada and two of her friends was posted online, where it quickly went viral and became national news overnight.
While waiting for an Uber in Los Angeles, Estrada alleges that the trio was beaten and robbed, with one of Estrada's friends knocked unconscious in the fray. The LAPD later investigated the incident as a hate crime.
"I'm grateful to be alive," says Estrada. "I've been through something traumatic, but I came out of it really, really, strongly."
Estrada is now happily engaged, has a flourishing career and in her own words, is "over" what happened to her. But reflecting on Trans Day of Remembrance, she recognizes this could have been a different story.
"This day, it could be about me," says Estrada. "Something worse could have happened to me that day."
Estrada said that she uses this day not only to reflect on loss, but to reflect on the LGBTQ+ figures who paved the way for trans people today — people like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera and Erica Andrews, she said, adding that she also uses this day to reflect on past versions of herself as well.
"I think it's remembering where you started, where you're at and where you're going," she said.
Rebekah feels similarly about Trans Day of Remembrance, which they say is an opportunity to elevate stories of trans joy and triumph.
"People need to see that trans folks are also changemakers; are also leaders; are also successful across all fields, across all industries, across all areas of life."
When asked how she will be spending Trans Day of Remembrance, Moore says, "I need to take time to really mourn some of the folks that I've lost recently, and just take time for myself as a Black trans woman... honor myself and the work that I'm doing."
"I think this year, I need some time for me."
It has been nearly five months since Williamson's body was recovered.
The two people he went to meet that day were both arrested and charged in his death, but that's not enough for Edwards. "These people still get to talk to their families on Christmas," she said.
"And we don't."
She says she will be keeping Williamson's memory alive on Trans Day of Remembrance by hanging Christmas decorations at the site where his body was found and attending an event in honor of the day at the University of South Carolina Upstate, where she has been invited to speak.
While Williamson and at least 319 others who have been lost to violence this year will be in hearts and minds on Trans Day of Remembrance, Moore points out that countless trans people have also been lost to lack of basic resources like housing, healthcare and food.
"It's important that we uplift those stories and use Trans Day of Remembrance...to let folks know that trans people are loved and have people fighting for them," she adds. "Don't be silent when you see injustice is happening."
Edwards believes Trans Day of Remembrance is an opportunity to provide support in death for trans loved ones that they may not have had in life, and bring attention to the fact that nobody is above experiencing loss.
"It means awareness that this actually happens to people that we know and we love," she says.
But more than anything, Edwards hopes wherever Williamson is now, on this day and all days, that he is at peace.
"He had a life full of conditions," she says. "I hope that where he is, he feels love. Unconditional love."

Caravan (Owl Painting), 84 in. x 84 in., Oil on canvas. 2012. National Museum of Wildlife Art Permanent Collection (Jackson, WY). Purchased with funds generously donated by Adrienne & John Mars. Artwork & images ©Peter D. Gerakaris. All Rights Reserved. TRAVELING EXHIBIT: UN/NATURAL SELECTIONS: WILDLIFE IN CONTEMPORARY ART
Installation Views & Museum Preview at The Huson River Museum (Yonkers, NY)
OCTOBER 13, 2023 – JANUARY 14, 2024
From Julie Buffalohead and Kiki Smith to Walton Ford and James Prosek, the artists in this exhibition represent another stage in the evolution of animal art. Wild animals have been present in art since the first artists painted images on cave walls or carved figures in stone tens of thousands of years ago. Today’s artists continue to use animal imagery as away to address humanity’s interconnectedness with the natural world. Un/Natural Selections: Wildlife in Contemporary Art, organized by the National Museum of Wildlife Art, explores the meaning of these creative expressions within the context of contemporary art. Featuring a diverse group of more than forty artworks from the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s permanent collection, the exhibition offers a wide range of styles in a variety of media, divided into four thematic sections: Tradition, Politics,Science, and Aesthetics. These realms act as overlapping chapters, investigating the ways we use animal imagery to tackle human concerns and responsibilities. The title of this exhibition is a play on Charles Darwin’s concept of natural selection from his pivotal writing, On the Origin of Species (1859). Darwin’s ideas contributed much to the development of wildlife art in the late nineteenth century, as artists began to represent animals in natural habitats, enacting natural behaviors. From Julie Buffalohead and Kiki Smith to Walton Ford and James Prosek, the artists in this exhibition represent another stage in the evolution of animal art: choosing to represent animals in alternative, unnatural spaces—spaces more often directly linked to civilization than to wilderness.
