//If I could, I’d like to gently draw people’s attention to the fact that I did say that the hospital setting of the most recent episode is a traumatic trigger for me, so the Doctor’s behavior at the outset of the episode was particularly upsetting to me on a personal level. I promise there’s no need to defend Thirteen to me. No one is a bigger fan. I’m just being gently honest about my reaction as a fan of the show and as a writer. It’s okay to not like everything about the things you enjoy. Thanks for considering. ❤

The point of voting blue in 2018 isn’t to make the US perfect. We cannot accomplish that in one fell swoop. There’s gerrymandering, voter apathy, voter suppression, and generations of older party-line fucks we have to deal with.
Voting blue in 2018 is to make it less immediately threatening for PoC, LGBT+ people, the disabled, and any other marginalized demographic. It’s a stopgap against Republicans who are aligned with Nazis, white supremacists, and sexual abusers.
Correcting politics in the United States is going to take decades of new voters staying on top of politics and not falling prey to apathy, like our predecessors.
People telling you not to waste a vote on 3rd Party this midterm aren’t saying “never vote 3rd party.” Republicans have united behind one utterly heinous front. We need to unite behind Democrats, for the time being.
Repeating this key sentence:
“Voting blue in 2018 is to make it less immediately threatening for PoC, LGBT+ people, the disabled, and any other marginalized demographic [WOMEN]. It’s a stopgap against Republicans who are aligned with Nazis, white supremacists, and sexual abusers.”
Reblogging in the memory of everyone who said to me, 2 years ago, “how much damage can he do?” and “it’s like choosing the lesser of two evils” and “you’re overreacting” and “he won’t get elected it’ll never happen”.
//Hrm. The Doctor is being more old-Doctory in this episode. There are like, a bajillion sick patients on board and she’s jeopardizing them to go back for her TARDIS :////
I’m not sure I’m a huge fan of this episode. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in so many life threatening medical emergencies that it makes me kinda ticked at her.

HOKAY my last brain cell went into that last reply, i’m gonna take it easy tonight and just. pamper myself in ways that aren’t contrary to my body’s health. fuzzy socks. diet cocoa. a disney movie. that kind of thing. be kind to each other, check ya later. ❤
Neurologist: Don’t take that controlled substance anymore even though it has no adverse long term effects on your kidneys, liver, eyes, or stomach, all of which are strained by diabetes! Because a controlled substance is a bandaid and you can’t just wish away your anxiety!
Me: But…I don’t take it for anxiety, I take it for nausea, that’s what both my ENT doctor and neurologist and the ER doctors when I went into the ER vomiting so much that I was blacking out said I should take FOR NAUSEA….
Neurologist: You’re just telling yourself that, because you’ve become emotionally dependent on this drug. Instead, I offer up zero viable alternative solutions for emergencies, and I’m going to tell you to go to a psychologist for this anxiety!
Me: Yes, I DO need to see a psychologist for anxiety, BUT I DON’T TAKE THAT MED FOR ANXIETY. It is the ONLY THING that stops my vomiting. My previous doctors experimented for TWELVE YEARS and came up with this solution.
Neurologist: I can’t think of anything else for you to do! Oh by the way you also have to wait for 4-6 weeks for your migraine treatment because of insurance needing to pre-approve it! So wait and suffer for 4-6 weeks without anything! But hey, have a positive attitude!
Me: …. *is forced to take OTC antihistamines for nausea because Zofran and Compazine no longer work, and said antihistamines are straining both my eye and kidney problems. BUT HEY I’M NOT RELYING ON THAT “BANDAID” RIGHT?*

//Anyway the queue is loaded. Hope you’re all doing well tonight ❤
//Lol time to sign off cause in come the spoilers. I’ll be watching either later tonight or tomorrow, depending on whether my mood improves and frankly, what kind of mood my dad is in today.
I may be back to add drafts to the queue (miraculous!) but I won’t be looking at the dashboard, so if you want me to see something nonspoilery, link me in an ask or pm!
I don’t think I ever showed you guys this shirt that @honourablebravery got me for my birthday. LOL.
I should add that I derive mild trolling amusement from wearing this out in a Republican stronghold, and getting confused and disturbed looks from old white men who have never seen Doctor Who and clearly think I’m endorsing some unknown Socialist radical LOLOL.
I wore it to the dollar store last night and a guy, no joke, wearing a Make America Great Again hat AND shirt, looked at me most gravely and said, as though at a funeral, “Don’t forget to set back your clock,” lmfao. Woebetide him, for having to do the Bigger Thing by this upstart ungrateful anarchist millennial.
