here's a karlach unbothered in the snow from patreon last year :)
a new reality tv show called So you think you can write Doctor Who
twelve episodes, twelve contestants - a mix of annoying middle aged sci fi authors, fan fic authors and random people off the street
a variety of against the clock writing tasks, big finish scripts, ability to interact with actors without shouting at them and challenges where you have no budget or doctor for an episode
judged by solely by christopher eccleston
this is how you find the new doctor who showrunner

i would trust weird al with my drink at a party. granted he may put one of those capsules that expands into a sponge animal in it,
sorry i had a vision and i just had to draw it
dad: "wait, these train tickets arent timed, are they?"
me: "no. they charge you based on distance between stations"
dad: "that means you could travel somewhere, eat at the station, and then get off at a stop closer to where you started to pay very little?"
me: "yes"
me, internally: "and this is a good thing because it encourages people to use public transportation more, and makes stations a nice place to hang out at for a bit"
dad: "well thats a flaw in the system then. theyre losing money on that"
me: "...???"
dad: "in china they estimate how much time itd take for you to travel from one station to another, plus some additional time. if you spend too much time in a station, they add that to your charges"
me, internally: "that... sucks...?"
if you're curious this is by design, cause japanese train companies make their money off of renting spaces at the station to businesses, so the more time and money people spend at those station businesses, the better. if businesses at those stations go under, then the train companies will lose money too, which is why timing passengers on the amount of time they spend in a station will actually hurt the train companies more than if they didn't
the fact of the matter is that train ticket sales will never break even with the cost of operating railways, no matter how many passengers you have, so having other sources of revenue is a lifeline for train companies (and a good way at keeping train ticket prices low so people will more likely ride the train)
Is the guy in the cuck chair supposed to stay quiet or is he allowed to clap and cheer
he's supposed to take notes and make an intrigued hum when an interesting plot point occurs

Have you tried just channeling your instincts to appease into BDSM instead of letting them inform your political philosophy?
If you really just have a deeply ingrained need to be in a hierarchical space and give respect to ppl u call ur superiors, like. Hi. We can do that for you. I know some people.
if you really want to lick boots we can make that happen but with better boots
We have flavored boot polish.

The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.
Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"
The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.
Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."
THIS IS OPEN TO COMMENT UNTIL JULY 13, 2026
This is all very bad and horrible, but I want to be clear that it’s worse and more sweeping than just eliminating trans research.
This torches everything. And I do mean everything.
A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):
ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives
allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason
preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies
requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.
What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.
Please, if you only ever write one public comment, this is the one to do.
Bringing back this guide to writing an effective public comment. This gives you the basics you need to know, what you need to include, a basic outline you can follow, etc.
Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:
"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; “if an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ˮ"
But also, if possible, don't stop at writing a comment. Don't stop at calling your representatives. You should ideally be talking to people in your community about this and organizing resistance on-the-ground; there is a good chance people are already doing that even if you aren't hearing about it.
I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again
OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.

Steve Rogers’ ailments
Before Steve got injected the serum, he suffered from a lot of diseases as you all probably know. But maybe you don’t know all of them or what they really mean for little Stevie.
At first I wanna say Steven Grant Rogers weighed 95 lbs or 43,1 kg. He was 5′4″ or 162 cm tall.
Now to his diseases. Many people seem to forget that he had more than only asthma and if you’re a writer like me (mostly fanfiction *cough* Stucky *cough*), you probably feel the urge to portray the characters as accurate as possible. So here’s a list of Steve’s diseases (of the MCU) so you can do that:
- He had scoliosis. This means his spine bends in a way that isn’t part of the typical S-shaped curve, so his spine would’ve bent to the side. It’s not a life threatening condition but it can be quite noticeable (like one shoulder is higher than the other, or one hip appears higher than the other one etc.). Pain isn’t a typical symptom.
- He was partially deaf. He could hear but his hearing was restricted so he might doesn’t hear you if you speak quietly…
- Steve had arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeart and he had also heart palpitations and the more generic heart trouble. All these have symptoms like shortness of breath, fainting, chest discomfort, dizziness or feeling light-headed, weakness and fatigue.
- He had high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. High blood pressure, sometimes called hypertension, happens when this force is too high. It increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke and can also cause heart and kidney failure. When blood vessels in the eyes burst or bleed, the vision changes or it leads to blindness.
- This may is the reason of his astigatism. It means he had a poor eye sight.
- He had also rheumatic fever at some point. It is most common in 5 to 15 year old children. It can cause permanent damage to the heart (what Steve already had or the reason for his heart problems is the rheumatic fever) and can affect the brain. It is treated with aspirin (or was treated with aspirin at least in the 1930s) and unfortunately…
- Steve had also stomach ulcers. They are extremely painful and can be caused or made worse by drugs like aspirin. They occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects your stomach from digestive juices is reduced, thus enabling the digestive acids to eat away at the lining tissues of the stomach. The most common symptom is a burning sensation or pain in the area between your chest and belly button. Normally, the pain will be more intense when your stomach is empty and it can last for a few minutes or several hours. Other symptoms can be dull pain in the stomach, weight loss, not wanting to eat because of pain, nausea or vomiting, bloating, burping or acid reflux, heartburn (burning sensation in the chest) and the pain can improve when you eat, drink, or take antacids.
- He had another stomach complication as well: Pernicious arnemia, which until the 20s was basically a death sentence. It’s a condition where an protein called Intrinsic Factor, necessary to absorb vitamin B12 (which is important for cell devision, formation of blood, synthesis of hormones - it’s essential), is not produced and the patient becomes progressively more anaemic until they suffer complications such as neurological damage or simply die. Until 1928 the only treatment was to drink copious quantities of the juice from raw liver (more than a pint a day) or eat half a pound of raw liver a day. Poor Stevie!
- Steve had fallen arches. Also called flat feet. Less serious but I’m gonna list everything. Many people have flat feet and notice no problems and require no treatment. But others may experience the following symptoms:Feet tire easily, painful or achy feet, especially in the areas of the arches and heels, the inside bottom of your feet become swollen, foot movement, such as standing on your toes, is difficult or back and leg pain.
- He had scarlet fever as a child, which causes a sore throat, bright red rash and can kill - especially because it can cause heart complications. (Maybe another reason why Steve has them…)
- He had a higher risk for diabetes because his admission form states he has a parent or sibling with diabetes. As far as we know Steve had no siblings in the MCU, therefore it has to be his mother because his father has been a soldier (He couldn’t have enlisted with diabetes… well, except he has lied on his enlistment form…)
- Generally his respiratory system was struggling. He got sinusitis and frequent colds to go along with his…
- Asthma. Which is pretty dangerous for someone with heart condition since symptoms of a severe attack can include arrhythmia. In the 1930s, inhalers were difficult to use for one person (especially if that person was having an asthma attack), but asthma cigarettes were easily available and consideriably cheaper. But they were hallucinogenic. Beyond this, in the 30s, 40s and 50s asthma was considered a psychosomatic condition, so talking therapy was used as a treatment as well. Steve would have been considered both physically frail and mentally ill because of his asthma.
- He had also “nervous trouble of any sort” and easy fatigability. That isn’t a surprise because it has to be tiring to be Steve. So many illnesses to fight with… It’s also no wonder that he’s so small, considering that his body was under so much sress while he was growing.
Steve always had been a hero. It hadn’t been the serum that had made him strong…
If you want to, I can also write about what it meant to live with so many diseases in the world of the 30s. Because you can probably guess that it wasn’t easy and definetely worse than it would be today…
i was trying to find this thank

Shoutout to @mystery-incorporated-whore for her cameo as god's most useless lesbian. Love you, girl.
The comments on this one across social media have been incredible. Here are some standouts.
Once knew a guy from LARP who told a story about when he had first gotten his hands on chainmail and was getting used to wearing it and maintaining mobility and balance with the weight of it (it was heavy stuff). So he started wearing it under his clothes when he was out running errands and stuff to practice for when he had to wear it in mock combat.
Then one night he was coming home late and got mugged by a dude with a knife.
Apparently the look on the dude's face was amazing when he went in to gut the guy for his wallet and found out he was wearing medieval armor under his hoodie.
So, you know. Pretty good argument for wearing it under streetclothes!
so maybe my type isn't totally unrealistic
Fun story, i talked to two people who worked at a convenience store in the Kingdom of An Tir (SCA medieval society, An Tir's territory is WA, BC, northern ID, and OR, and in the past included AB and SK).
This convenience store was notorious for getting robbed in the evenings one or two times a month, so nobody wanted to work the night shift. The one fellow, he desperately needed a job, but he was also learning how to be a heavy fighter (sword & shield) in the SCA, so he had just finished a chainmail shirt, and asked if he could wear it under his uniform shirt, so long as it didn't show. The manager was just happy that he had someone willing to work nights, and said yeah, sure, so long as it doesn't show.
Guy starts working the night shifts, things are fine, he's getting used to everything, then late one night, a guy in a hoodie comes in, and asks for a pack of cigarettes. Our guy turns to get the pack, and feels a thump on his back. Turning around, scowling, he demands, "Did you just hit me??"
Guy in the hoodie widens his eyes, goes ash-gray, and faints. Clerk can't budge from behind the counter in case this is an attempt to distract and rob. But the guy remains out coold. Confused, our clerk calls the emergency services. EMTs come along and start checking out the patient, who is still out cold on the floor. While they're doing that, one of them comes up to the counter and asks what happened, exactly.
Our man tells the EMT, "Well, he just came in, looked around, came up to the counter and asked for a specific pack of cigarettes, so I turned to get them--"
And he demonstrates by turning his back to the EMT, who suddenly starts shouting, "--Sir! Sir! Are you okay? Don't move!"
Our man feels the EMT groping his upper back, and then the EMT asks,
"What the hell are you WEARING?"
"A chainmail shirt. I have to get used to the weight of it, so I wear it a lot. Why? Is something wrong?"
"You have a KNIFE in your back!"
"Uhh...no, I don't? I mean, I don't feel hurt? He only, like, punched me or something. There's no knife back there--I mean, I'd KNOW if there was a knife back there, right?"
EMT grabs the knife and pushes on his shoulder, yanking it out. "THIS knife! I'm going to need to examine your back!"
So they manage to get him out of his uniform shirt and out of the hauberk and out of the linen shirt under it (because chainmail bites suck, plus it's not nearly as fun as a Brazilian waxjob, because my SCA friend was hairy)...and it turns out he only had a very small scratch from the tip of the knife...which had gotten lodged in the riveted links.
...That was why the guy fainted. He'd stabbed the store clerk, who had turned around angrily, knife still lodged in his back.
Manager was so happy to have hired the guy, as that was the first time in like eight or nine months that the store hadn't been successfully robbed.
[ID: Tweet from Angantýr @BasedNorthmathr which says "Chainmail tucked in the trousers. Could be the move". Attached is a selfie from the shoulders down, where the photographer is wearing a black sweatshirt and khaki pants and is pulling up the sweatshirt to show a layer of chainmail tucked into the pants. End ID]
Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???
