The oncoming yawn, the collector of Gallifrey, the Keeper of the laundry of Rassilon, the Defender of the Laws of cooking with Thyme, Time’s Companion and occasional fuck buddy. Any pronouns will do.

"I noticed someone I knew had started attending a gym and I asked him why. He told me that he wanted to be strong enough so that, one day, he could hit me if he ever needed to. So, in self-defence, I broke his arms and blew up his gym."

It's this guy!

The Master's TARDIS just turn up disguised as an Ionic column. "It's a DORIC column, you moron!" corrects Adric. 5 MINUTES LATER: "Why did you punch me Gruntleigh!?" "It wasn't a PUNCH it was a delivery of concentrated mechanical stimulus through a clenched metacarpal cluster!" me reply. 👊😹😹😹

I'm calling for a full apology for the Tinker Experiment: state-sanctioned cruelty that forcibly removed children from Gypsy Traveller families & put others into accommodation with no water, electricity or heating. The scars on & in the community are still visible today. We must have justice.

BBC Radio Four was created one fateful day when The Archers were exposed to cosmic rays aboard an experimental rocket, having failed to check the Shipping Forecast.

If you're in Scotland and have experience of ADHD or Autism diagnosis, treatment or like 42,530 children are waiting for a neurodevelopmental assessment, please please will you contribute to this inquiry? We need things to change. www.parliament.scot/about/news/n...

I'm not the man they think I am at home. Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man.

bring back doctor who

“We urge the public to remember that leaving the house is not compulsory and that their couch and television will not be at the park.”

The idea that self-censoring is a new form of oppression forced on white men rather than a normal part of having a prefrontal cortex and existing in society is some of the biggest bullshit in the centrist/right wing coalition gender grift

yes i am sure

#SundayPixTexture View up the Royal Mile yesterday during the Edinburgh Pride parade.

The best placard at Pride Edinburgh. 💖

#EdinburghPride was a delight, even if we dressed for blistering temperatures and instead found ourselves freezing in the rain. Still, LOVELY vibe. Now checking out the bars for the first time.

A lot of artists and designers are struggling at the moment. It’s been very quiet. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. gailmyerscough.co.uk

So, who’s off to #EdinburghPride tomorrow?

Unsurprisingly loving the new #Muse track, #Unravelling. Very much loving the Lacuna Coil vibe. Also, that image on the cover really makes me thing of Ace’s portrayal in the DWM comics. youtu.be/jXmUJvNSSm0

Muse release huge new track - "Unravelling" Video streaming on our site right now, Gav will be seeing them at Hellfest tonight! www.moshville.co.uk/news/video/2... #rock #rockmusic #music #video #song #single #MoshvilleTimes

Look I know The National is an easy punchline for a lot of folk, but it's about time the media started pushing back on Rowling's bullshit and this does that very succinctly. www.thenational.scot/news/2525321...

So many businesses stick a rainbow on their products for #PrideMonth - and that’s their sole contribution to helping the LGBTQ+ community. But occasionally a business does some tangible good. One such is Marmite, which has donated over a million dollars to queer charities. That’s the way to do it. 🏳️‍🌈

Without any planning, we just watched an episode of Ashes to Ashes back to back with an episode of Angel with the exact same plot. Essentially, our hero was infiltrating the Free Masons but having to convince all his friends that he was a complete arsehole in order to do it convincingly.

I’ve just looked at the classifications Disney+ gives its films/tv series. Buffy - drama Salem - drama Futurama - comedy How I met your mother - romantic comedy Only murders in the building - drama (?) X-files…. Buddy comedy (!?!) Wtf???

This is wonderful news. Audiobooks and audio dramas are an undervalued art form. Will you also be recognising the invaluable work of directors, editors, sound designers and composers? Even if you don't have specific awards for them, it'd be great if you could credit them. Thanks! @thebookseller.com

💥 NEW 💥 The EHRC’s interim update unleashed chaos after the Supreme Court’s transphobic decision. But now the commission says it was only ‘some observations’ and rows back on its demand for single-sex toilets. goodlaw.social/pa8z

I’ve written Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with Cleopatra! Mark Antony has taken K9 and given him to the Queen of Egypt as a present - and now the Doctor and Leela need to get him back! But Egypt and Rome are on the brink of war… 4 x episodes of Who historical drama!

I’m looking for representations of queerness in Scottish lit/culture from around the 18thc and having a tough time finding anything beyond a few characters in Smollett. Do folks have suggestions?

Does everyone else find that a particular song haunts their consciousness? Not like an ear worm, but more that you just find yourself singing it in quiet moments…. Mine, currently, is Rizzo’s “Worse thing I could do” from Grease. I’ve not heard it in a decade, but apparently it’s my soundtrack.

The more I read Olga Tolarczuk’s Empusium, the more I’m convinced it’s her Name of the Rose.

It is fair to say that Bertie and Delphi aren’t quite able to coexist. Generally the cats live upstairs and the dog has the run of the downstairs and will chase any cat that comes down. But that really doesn’t stop Delphi from sneaking down every single evening to see what she can get away with.
