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.

“but there was no point outranking everyone in the room unless you were intending on riding rough-shod over everyone’s expectations.” Teddy is having a lovely time. Everyone else… not so much. forthenby.com/2025/02/19/1...

The usual suspects have put in one trying to repeal the GRA. You know what to do, if you’ve not done it already: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Birthday Karaoke going on currently. Completely forgot that Muse’s You make me feel like it’s Hallowe’en is almost entirely in falsetto. Ouch, my throat.

“Hilda! Hilda! He says we started it by being delicious!”

We will always stand by and support Scotland's trans community! 🏳️‍⚧️

Nigel Farage isn't going to increase the birth rate anywhere lol. He is not the one. Rabbits take one look at him and decide to find a hobby instead

Continuing my bleeding-edge of nerd culture theme, I've written for Den of Geek about the legacy of Quatermass, and how much British sci-fi TV owes to someone who, frankly, despised it: www.denofgeek.com/tv/quatermas...

Some priceless material in Simon Hart’s diaries of a chief whip, extracted in The Times www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Every time I get out of bed, kitty jumps into the warm space.

Airbnb, Tesla & X are pretty easy to eliminate from your life; all easily replaced…. Can we live without Amazon - yes, this too we can live without.

Every year I’m like “I’m not gonna bring Romana’s Gallifrey Time War robes” and every year #gally1 brings amazing guests that I gotta get a picture with them while I’m wearing it 💕🥰 @bigfinish.bsky.social @seancarlsen.bsky.social

It's been a long time since Private Eye's satire has made me audibly wince, but this is so to the point if it were a knife people would demand it be banned.

Did the neighborly thing and cleared the neighbor’s walk…

Wow, a 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian paint box containing its original pigments! Looks similar to a modern-day set! An inscription tells us it belonged to Amenemope, Vizier during the reign of king Amenhotep II. 📷 The Cleveland Museum of Art www.clevelandart.org/art/1914.680 #Archaeology

I had such a good time on @trapone.bsky.social talking about the latest eighth doctor, charley, and audacity box set from big finish. we also bring you up to speed on the ongoing time war/cass sets and the adventures of #doctorwho, liv, and helen. "big finish: we love mcgann audios"

Delphi is doing nothing suspicious, all perfectly normal here.

Severance Stonewall Sassoon is my new drag name.

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

A 'Dalek Invasion of Earth' Valentine's Day song: 🎵"Roses are red, My heart is a quiver, It's forbidden to dump bodies in the river."🎵 #DoctorWho

I'd forgotten just how unsettling this production is. Really didn't help that it feels even more relevant now than last time I watched.

Happy valentines day! Hope you and yours have a nice one, even if it's a little cold outside.

Watching season 5 of #Angel at the moment and… I really can’t remember any of this except for the overall Wolfram and Hart premise.

GB News are now lashing out @goodlawproject.bsky.social, who they accuse of a launching "a deliberate and orchestrated campaign"... So GB News probably *don't* want you to share this: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Had to talk down a former student accused of using AI by a professor using an automated AI-checking website and I am begging academics to be slightly less into this horseshit.

My partner has just made the very excellent point regarding Dr Strange. Isn’t he a surgeon, at least in the films? Therefore, wouldn’t he be Mr Strange rather than a doctor?

Least believable thing about Greek mythology is how every character is important and has an intricate story. No regular guys at all. Zeus should have a brother named Steve who just works at the agora and that's his whole thing

"The voracious plant life has its sights set on domination in Planet Krynoid: Nightfall from Big Finish."

Something that’s worth remembering in #HeartUnions Week is how much good employment rights, good EDI, and strong unions are intrinsically a health issue. I would go so far to say that any serious national health plan should have unions at its heart.

Bloody hell, Severance is disturbingly good.

LOOK AT IT! LOOK AT MY GIANT 3D BABY!
