Have I told you all my headcanon that Evelyn made Seven's pullover? It's canonical that she knits mostly just to keep her hands busy, which to me suggests that she probably refuses to check gauges. So she tried making this sweater which was meant to be for the Doctor, but she didn't check the gauge and to be honest she lost the instructions while being chased by a green blobby thing about halfway through the project, and it came out absurdly too small. But he told her it's the thought that counts and he loved it anyway and he would keep it in case he ever had a use for it. And then there it was in the wardrobe room when he did.

NEXT TIME ON DOCTOR WHO:

Ninth Doctor: Here we are! Mediaeval England!

cut

Rose: It’s like… an egg. A big egg.

cut

Mediaeval king: My men! We ride!

cut

Ninth Doctor: There’s something wrong here. I can feel it.

cut

Rose: Hello? I’m Rose. I’m not gonna hurt you. The Doctor, he’s got this… thing. This screwdriver. Maybe he can put you back together again.

cut

Unsettling seer: The fall is nigh. The eggs are in their baskets.

cut

Ninth Doctor: Oh, this is really bad.

cut

Charismatic villain: I’m sorry, Doctor, but I’m afraid it’s time… for a fall.

cut

CGI monster: (hissing) The Geltheen Host must rise again! The hatching must commence!

cut

(Shot of something emerging from an egg and shrieking)

cut

Ninth Doctor: They’re on every wall, in every square, in every town in the country! A hundred eggs, all ready to hatch!

cut

Rose: We have to do something, or they’re all gonna die!

cut

Ninth Doctor: (shouting from the distance) ROSE! DON’T TOUCH THAT EGG!

cut

Charismatic villain: When I use a word… it means exactly what I choose it to mean.

cut

Ninth Doctor: (shouting, angry) ALL THE KING’S HORSES! AND ALL THE KING’S MEN!

cut

Charismatic villain: Let the shattering of this world… commence.

finding out years after first seeing "the five doctors" that there's an alternate take of No Not The mind Probe w/ far more emotion put into it feels so wrong.

#the first take seems so normal nothing could have prepared me for that second take hahaha #No. Not the mind probe... #Doctor Who #Doctor Who memes #Classic Who

That was very helpful actually, thank you! I really appreciate the explanation!

It's so stressful the way people joke about aging, as an autistic person who cannot tell how much of it to take literally.

The way people talk, it has me believing that as soon as you turn 30, you just have chronic pain by default? And that I must be weak and bad at handling pain, because I'm 29 and turning 30 soon and if everyone else is 30 is in pain and dealing with it just fine, why am I complaining?

But people who are 30 or over obviously still get real medical conditions, some of which cause pain. So how do you tell the difference between being in pain just because you're over 30 now and everyone over 30 has chronic pain, and being in pain because you have a medical condition?

Like, one of the EDS criteria is chronic pain. How would I tell if my joint pain is qualifying for EDS/HSD or if it's just because I'm almost 30?

#i am talking #like I have to assume that people don't mean this as literally as I am taking it #but Google searching for does everybody over 30 have chronic pain is not as helpful as I was hoping it would be #so if someone has answers here genuinely I would appreciate it #sometimes it kind of feels like if you're disabled it doesn't really count if you're over 30 #because I feel like the disability community sometimes focuses a lot on how when you're young you're seen as too young to be disabled #but does that mean that if you're 30 or over you're just expected to be disabled? #or 40 or over? what's the age at which you're expected to be in pain? #also pet peeve - I hate when people say “never get old” #like what do you think is my other option here. I am not a vampire

I am trying to find straws to use because I have noticed that my mystery symptoms are triggered not just by temperature but also by neck position, and tilting my head back to drink water can make them worse. Using a straw would theoretically allow me to drink without having to bend my neck too much.

I don't want to use straws that are just straight up and down and can't be repositioned, and I don't trust that I could get reusable straws clean enough to feel comfortable drinking from them. Plus some of my mystery symptoms include unexpected muscle jerks and although I have not had issues with this while drinking before, I think it's reasonable to want to avoid sharp metal or glass straws.

After about a week of searching for just normal plastic straws and not being able to find them, I finally thought to look it up online and realize that they're actually illegal to sell now in Canada. Theoretically they allow retailers to sell them if you ask the staff but they don't really stock them anymore, so it's just lip service.

I'm having a relative from the states bring me some when she visits, and you can still buy them on Amazon I think, but it's deeply frustrating.

If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

Three pairs of jeans in different colors, one pair of capris that are almost leggings that I got because they were cheap at the second hand store and had flowers on them. Two pairs of dress pants.

And also four pairs of pajama pants, three of which were given to me by a friend who wasn't wearing them anymore, and one of which was purchased for a cosplay though I'm still looking for a better pair for that if I find any at the second hand stores.

I think if I've learned anything from having my washing machine break with some of my clothing inside it, is that it's better to have extra pairs of pants.

I am also working under the assumption that skirts and shorts are not pants. I have I think three or four pairs of shorts? And three or four skirts.

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I have a gripe about the Star Trek mugs...

Picard's teacup is a delicate, fragile little thing held by a strip of plastic and a dream. That thin glass will break if you look at it sideways. And where do they put that ridiculous tiny cup? On the Enterprise, which is always being dragged into conflict

The DS9 raktajino mugs are hefty, wide-based things that are meant to not tip over. They're called no-spill mugs. They have a foam piece on the bottom so they don't slip. They're incredibly sturdy – meant for ships and traveling! Where do they put them? At the station, which is arguably the most stable place they could be cause DS9 rarely gets knocked about.

Far as I'm concerned, Janeway's the only one doing practical space mugs correctly. Come on, a metal travel mug that's as strong as her coffee is black? Takes a beating through 70,000 light years of bridge shakes fighting off the Borg and the Hirogen and still holds a hot drink? Now that's a space mug

There are a number of signs at Peggy's Cove - in addition to the one above (with the lighthouse in the background), there's this one, which I think is my favourite:

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

#I also don't have any good pictures of them but rip current/undertow signs don't mess around either

also re last post i think a crucial part of treating your ace friends like you actually respect them is not acting like non-sexual content and child-friendly content are the same thing. which also means not assuming all stories and media aimed at adults need to contain sex (@ creators, take note). because it's shitty to be an adult and find that there is nothing out there written for someone like you and everyone's suggestions are always for children's media. there's nothing wrong with kidlit etc but sometimes, you know, you're an adult, you want stories that reflect the fact that you're an adult, and you want acknowledgement that adulthood and interest in sex are not synonyms. and likewise when you are writing non sexual content for an adult audience it sucks to have people assume it's meant to be for kids and to expect it to fulfil a purpose it wasn't made for
