The Weeping Angels are really scary until you realize if any organism sees them they are fucked so they get hard countered by geckos, who don't blink and can see in the dark. If the Doctor strapped like two geckos onto him he'd be fine.

Introducting Valentina

Known as Val to her family and Tina to her friends, Valentina is the younger sister of Alex and Cassandra Goth. After pursuing a career in acting during her early twenties, she realised the spotlight just isn’t for her and she’d rather spend her life finding joy amongst her friends and family. A fair few interesting dates later, she fell in love with Adam Bryant, a handsome DJ with a soft heart and a love for children.

Here's what I want. I wanna go back in time to before cigarette lighters were invented. Before cigarettes were invented. I wanna find a guy trying to start a fire and be like "Hey check this gadget out." I wanna see if he instinctively puts it in his pocket instead of giving it back to me.

one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this

I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel.  At least in media or in the most popular stories.  But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea?  And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point.  Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you.  Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?

I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area.  I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.

if you are distressed about not receiving a response from someone you'd like to be actively talking to, you have to take a moment. step back from the conversation, put yourself in their shoes. perhaps they're busy with something right now. you have to consider the possibility that maybe they hanging upside down by their ankle. everybody has their own schedule, and sometimes people spend time away from their phone or computer because they are currently suspended from a tree branch by a rope tied around their ankle that they unnoticingly stepped in because it was concealed by a pile of leafs. it's not that they don't want to respond; imagine that they can see their phone screen on the ground below but it's a good few inches out of reach and even if they bounce and flail on the branch their fingertips just can't touch it. sometimes life gets in the way

I bought this wonderful hand dyed yarn last month, and have finally gotten around to knitting with it. It's called oilslick, but I think it also looks like the iridescence of a pigeon. 4ply silk/merino by happy go knitty. I could only afford 1 skein though, if I had 2 I think I'd use it in a bird themed colourwork something.
