this is how you find the new doctor who showrunner
Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.
At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”
been reconnecting with my childhood self through roller blading again lately. As a child I would skate until sunset!! it’s been very fun. I went down a hill and legit said “wheee!”
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Tennis RPF Rarepair Prompt Fest (the Tennis RRPPF, if you will). Thank you all so much for your interest! This is a fandom event that will run from June 18th to August 2nd, focused on creating more content for the rarer ships in the Tennis RPF fandom, together!
Based on the numbers on AO3 and the general vibe of the tennis RPF community on tumblr, we are going for a very broad definition of "rarepair" of anything other than Sincaraz, with the goal of generating fanworks for a wide range of other pairings.
Please check out the following links:
FAQ
Schedule
If you don't have time now, basic info from the FAQ is copied below under the Read More. Thanks everyone - more posts to come as we get closer to the prompt window opening, and if you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask!
How does this whole thing work?
You will submit tennis rarepair RPF prompts via a google form (link coming soon).
Prompts are organized by the mod and released.
You will create fanworks (fic/video edits/graphics/art/etc) based on the prompt(s) that inspire you and post them.
We will all have a bunch of new rarepair content to check out! Fills will be reblogged and compiled on this blog.
The format of the event is heavily inspired by @advantage-tennisblr, a prompt meme that ran a year and a half ago.
What counts as a “rarepair?”
For the purposes of this event, a rarepair is anything that is not Sincaraz (the relationship between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz). Since the start of 2024, there have been over ten times as many works on AO3 tagged with their relationship as the next most popular pairing. While the definition of a rarepair will always be up for debate, especially in a long-running fandom where the most popular players change over time, given that in the past two and a half years, this ship is over an order of magnitude more popular than anything else, this is where the line for the event is being drawn…at least this time around! See here for numbers and more explanation if you’re curious. That being said, you are encouraged to go as rare and as niche as possible!
What’s the timeline?
Prompting opens: Thursday, June 18th
Prompting closes: Friday, June 26th, 11:59:59pm PST
Prompts published: Saturday, June 27th
Posting opens: Sunday, July 12th (last day of Wimbledon)

Hey everyone. There's a new youtube feature that rolled out just yesterday that's raising some privacy concerns.
People in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Singapore can now share videos and chat with friends directly within the YouTube app. The update bring
This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.
If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.
This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.
To turn this off:
Go to your youtube app settings
Go to Privacy
Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"
Trimming the source id (the stuff after the '?' in links) will also prevent this from happening.
The Interior Department said the algae is residual after supply lines sat dormant for weeks.

The newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool seems unable to escape an old scourge: algae blooming in the shallow water.
Thin layers of algae floated on the World War II Memorial side of the pool Friday morning, even after workers were seen cleaning out algae from the bottom of the pool Wednesday.
