#The Making of Doctor Who

ok not to be that guy but like. labor rights and working class rights can coexist with 24h services and late amenities. its certainly hard to do so without worker exploitation in this political and social environment, it’s not a conflict likely to resolve overnight. but 24h services are important and especially valuable to those of us that are disabled or are on a different circadian rhythm. in fact more professional, health, and government services should be available or at least possible to work on asynchronously (if applicable) during late or odd hours, while workers also get sufficient pay for their labor and proper consistent scheduling. this would be much easier on the workers with night schedules if the entire professional world didn’t grind to a halt at 5pmEST

I think this is just a trend everywhere but I've been very frustrated this week by how much admin work is being outsourced to me as the patient/customer.

My orthodontist tells me I can make an appointment with the surgeon. I call the surgeon. They tell me I need a new referral. I call the orthodontist. They do a referral. I call the surgeon. Referral didn't come through. They tell me about their special unique system we have to use. I call the ortho again and walk them through the referral. I call the surgeon. They say the referral was missing some details so they have to do it again. I call the ortho.

The insurance company calls me about repair shops. I give them the name of the repair shop which I already gave them yesterday. They say they're not in their system but I can use them, but I have to call the repair shop to ask them to contact the insurance company. I call the repair shop and they say the insurance company is supposed to email them.

I feel like at a certain point these constant fetch quests become unreasonable?? Is it too much to expect these groups to communicate with each other instead of making me run back and forth between them???

"Violence only leads to more violence" TRUE! The thing is tho, a lot of people in power seem to think the start of the violence was the CEO getting shot, but they're wrong. The start of the violence was that very CEO running a company that turns immense, endless human suffering into money.

Violence did lead to more violence, decades of needless death and suffering willfully enacted by millionaires so they can make just a little bit more money, that was the start of the violence. If they didn't want it to escalate eventually, they should have maybe not made killing people the core functionality their entire company hinges on.

The people being tortured and killed by the health insurance industry are not the ones who started the violence, and tbh I don't really think it's on them to end the violence, either.

Audiobook Reviewed: Pull to Open -- The Inside Story of How the BBC Created and Launched #DoctorWho

Funny thing: the BBC have often been very sniffy about Doctor Who. Something that comes across very strongly in Pull to Open is that this nasal congestion goes way, way back: right back to the programme’s origins. The BBC just didn’t get it. What was the point, they huffed and puffed, of wasting the resources of the mighty corporation on a silly children’s science fiction series, which would…

Eventually your favorite fandom will forever be forgotten... except you the Merlin fandom you'll never die out and its kinda concerning.

belinda went from badass exhausted nurse who reads people red flags like they’re written on their face to a doctor devotee forced into motherhood… okay thanks for nothing

one of my favourite theories as to why the rani is waging war against the doctor is because she’s pissed the universe is now being ran by magic and superstition instead of reason, science and logic.

[finifugue]

so do we think that rtd forgot that weeping angels can physically manifest into reality through images of themselves or was the doctor intentionally trying to complicate things this episode by immediately trying to get the wall to project one
