On this day twenty years ago, Rose Tyler tried to find out more about the mysterious man known as the Doctor by googling "doctor". Iconic shit.
toxic codependent familial dynamics this. toxic codependent romances that. what about toxic codependent coworkers. i can’t do my job without this guy here or i’ll kill myself.
So a lot has gone on in the last little bit. NASA recently was ordered to scrub their site of women's contributions to astronomy and astrophysics, even took down their page celebrating women's history month and all the contributions they've made to NASA. So I did a thing and crawled through the wayback machine to find some articles, and decided to put this right here because fuck the government, fuck the orange in charge who told them to scrub their site, and fuck NASA for throwing their people under the bus and bowing to this authoritarian nonsense. This version of the site still has articles on some important figures like Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a space shuttle, and ISS chief scientist Jennifer Buchli and chief deputy scientist Meghan Everett, who, in their words, "-provide the science strategy and make science recommendations for the International Space Station program, and help make sure all of the science on the International Space Station goes smoothly, from preparing for launch to conducting research on the space station with the scientists and astronauts and returning the science to Earth."
Your friends watching something for the first time and getting to that scene VS you, the knower.
actually the reveal that there was no timeskip at all is hysterical. milchick really spent that whole weekend going all over town firing people, hiring people, putting together insane fruit baskets, and serving cunt in his motorcycle helmet. then at the orders of the board he had to very quickly fire the people he hired, rehire the people he fired, commission an oil painting for the severed floor lobby, redecorate the break room, and put together an award-winning claymation corporate apology video designed to showcase the new innie perks and reforms that don't exist as well as that one time helena eagan's innie sucked face with the innie whose outie his ex-boss is obsessed with. where is HIS waffle party
some more doctor who + text posts/tweets :)
I think part of the inherent comedy of AFFC is Jaime starting to see Cersei as his sibling again…. like not his sister-lover but his sibling who says and does things that annoy him and keeps trying to boss him around and who he’s bickering with in front of their uncle…. he’s been thinking of her as first and foremost a lover for years, and ‘sister’ as synonymous w that, but now he’s back and the romance is falling apart and he realises oh shit yeah siblings are fucking annoying
hey that's a cool happy character you got, mind if i make them have a panic attack or maybe a sobbing breakdown? haha no pressure or anything it's cool if not
the people hating on the Cobel solo ep r crazy bc for me one of the biggest mysteries of the show has ALWAYS been "wtf is up with that absolute freak?" She is so deeply strange and captivating. Finding out the specific kind of madness that has been motivating her methods has haunted me since she was talking about de-icing her stoop, and now we know! child soldier PhD student mourning both her mother and her stolen IP!!! THATS why she's crazy THATS why she is so incomprehensible and strange. obsessed obsessed obsessed.
I feel like typically the "dead wife" montage does nothing for me, even when executed very well, because it's often just like "here's this woman you'll never get to meet, she only matters because a man loves her so much and now he's sad."
But the montage wasn't just Mark's recollections. It was her perspective too. He's her dead husband. He's her Eurydice as much as he's his own Orpheus.
This isn't humanizing Gemma for Mark's sake. This is humanizing Gemma for Gemma's sake and it's there not for us to root for Mark, it's there for us to realize we're rooting for Gemma. Every moment Mark reaches out for her, she's reaching back.
The dead wife montage normally deprives a woman her agency, making her a tool for a man's arc, but this episode fully restored Gemma's agency. She's fighting back, she's yearning too. She hurts, she aches, she angers. She fights, she bleeds, she gets frustrated too. And has been before she was ever Ms Casey,
I've never seen a show restore a character's humanity as fully as this single episode did for Gemma. She went from an abstract concept--a wife, a severed employee, a ghost--to a tangible person.
And this was realized so literally as well. We literally see her bleed, we literally watch her eat, her hands cramp up, her teeth ache. It's like watching a hologram become flesh muscle by muscle, bone by bone.
I'm in awe of what they were able to do for her in just 50 minutes. In many ways, I feel I know Gemma better than I know half the cast.
"television" "fans" be like ugh I can't believe this episode was a chilling look at small town America's dependence on major corporations for employment, substance abuse, childhood trauma and intellectual property theft 🙄🙄 BORING!! it only furthered the storyline of a woman who has been a mystery since the first episode and revealed more abuse by the company who's abuses are central to the plot 😒
ether as severance + “the courtship of kier and imogene” (relationship parallels)
(just so we’re clear, while the kier-imogene dynamic is clearly paralleled with helena and mark, it is also reiterated in cobel and mark, dr mauer and gemma, and even burt and irving to some extent; season 2 has also made it a point to show us that helena and cobel are both victims in their own ways while being perpetrators. it is not a black and white situation and misogyny will get you blocked.)
original threads: (x), (x)
tearing up thinking about the fact that Mark was only able to save Gemma because of innie solidarity. Because Helly stole Milchick's walkie talkie and trapped him, giving Mark the opportunity to escape. Because Dylan got back to the severed floor and saw some shit going down and without question threw his body on the line too. Because Lorne was exhausted watching her beloved goats sacrificed to the corporate machine and wasn't willing to stand by and watch Drummond kill one of their own. Because the entire Choreography and Merriment department responded to Helly pleading for help in a scene straight out of Norma Rae
Not a single one of them had ever met Gemma Scout, but they knew Ms. Casey was one of them. An injury to one is an injury to all

Note: I am not asking necessarily which of these songs you like the best, just which one puts you in an emotional state that you can't quite express. Because I am of A Certain Age, my answer would probably be either "Clocks" or "Viva La Vida". Personally, "Adventure of a Lifetime" reminds me of dissociating while mopping a convenience store floor, but maybe it speaks to you.

The third Jon Snow chapter in A Game of Thrones is so funny when you consider the perspective of the other members of the Night’s Watch.
Since Jon arrived at Castle Black, he’s been withdrawn, sullen, and barely interacted with the others. He was a bastard, but he was also the son of one of the most important men in the entire kingdom, the warden of the north, and hand of the king, and the nephew of Benjen Stark, one of the most highly regarded men at the wall. He grew up alongside his true born halfsiblings at Winterfell and enjoyed an education very similar to theirs. He is one of the youngest people at the wall, yet easily beats the other new recruits in training, barely speaks a word to them afterwards, and instead spends most of his time with his creepy, silent dire wolf. In the words of Donal Noye, he was seen as an arrogant, sullen, reclusive bully, who thought he was better than anyone else.
Then, on some completely random day, he suddenly runs through castle black, the biggest grin ever on his face, which was probably the first time anyone there has seen him smile, whoops the whole time excitedly, that his brother is going to live, and joyfully spins Tyrion Lannister around in a cycle in front of everyone. Afterwards, he smiles at Grenn, who tried to beat him up not even an hour prior to that moment, offers to help him with his sword training and then quips back at Ser Alliser of all people, making the entire common hall laugh in the process.
Like, the switch-up was actually crazy as hell.
