Hi, my name is Inge and I sponsor a health clinic in remote PNG for more than … Sheena Beavis needs your support for Save children’s lives i

I'm not usually one to post stuff like this but I would so appreciate anyone having a look at this and donating just a bit if you have something to spare, or of course reblogging. We all know Covid has not disappeared for people living in marginalised communities, but there are many that are also still severely impacted by diseases brought to them by colonisation. The Kalam are one such group where TB, Covid, influenza, and other diseases are killing people at an alarming rate due to lack of medical aid.

'Every time I answer the phone I hear about another person who is sick or is dying and how there is no medicine to help.'

The GoFundMe currently has only $220 of the $10k target needed to set up a clinic to diagnose and treat TB, including building a structure for health workers to rest in overnight, running a TB education program, and most importantly obtaining medicine, which is frighteningly scarce.

I've been working as an editor for the last three and a half months on a thesis written by Inge, who is running this campaign. It's been fascinating work and Inge has given me permission to talk about some bits of it – it covers a lot of things that she observed while living with the Kalam in the 70s and features a lot of people who became family to her. The thesis focuses on some dark things but the people are larger than life, and talking about them I will probably make my silly little joke posts, but I want to pin this in the hopes that my silly little joke posts will do something to help the children and children's children of the people I have read about during this thesis. Also I just happen to be of the opnion that everyone deserves basic medical care.

If you came to this blog because of a silly little LOTR post or a silly little DGHDA post that gave you a little chuckle, it would mean so much to me if you shared whatever you have to spare, whether that's a reblog or a small donation. Thanks <3

having a best friend who meets your level of freak is unmatched. you present them with the most unhinged, deeply buried thought from the depths of your psyche and instead of blinking blankly they just go "oh absolutely"—and I think that mutual brain rot like that is the highest form of intimacy actually.

if i'm a lesbian do i have to listen to carly rae jepsen?

some people will accuse me of gatekeeping here, but the answer is a hard yes

well I guess it’s time to watch the next serial. Hopefully nothing bad happens to Steven in [squints] “the Massacre”

so I knew Sara Kingdom dies at the end of tDMP and I suspected she died saving the Doctor because I’ve seen her headcanoned in EU material to be a Clara Oswald echo, but I didn’t realise she dies in apparent slow agony by rapidly aging into a skeleton and crumbling to dust Rasputin style

teacupsandcyanide

I know this must be a customary observation but it makes extra sense now why the First Doctor dies of old age, seeing as he passed out in the sand next to Sara

and then he wakes up and yells at Steven for saving his life, as usual. we love a man who never changes

in seriousness it is heartwarming that the Doctor is clearly worried about Steven leaving the safety of the TARDIS and his first concern is to shoo him back inside, but of course he has to follow that up by re-establishing his hashtag hee hee hoo hoo behaviour once they go back out and inspect the carnage

Doctor: [picks up a dead Dalek embryo and wiggles it at Steven] hehe

Steven, who has witnessed multiple deaths, been mortally injured, and lost a good friend without saying goodbye, all in the span of anywhere between 24 and 48 hours:
