Call the Midwife finale

0 Comments

This show has been ongoing for most of my adulthood, it feels like, and now it’s over. I’m so sad. I’m looking forward to the prequel series and the eventual movie but it’s going to be so weird not having CTM to watch at the beginning of every year. I loved it so. Yes the finale was cheesy and overblown and the ghosts bit was so silly but I don’t care. They don’t make ’em like that anymore.

Soham murderer Ian Huntley dies after prison attack

I was still a young teenager when the Soham murders happened, not really all that much older than the victims. My family were on holiday in Cornwall, and it was the first time I had a hotel room of my own instead of sharing with the rest of my family. So every night I’d go upstairs to my own hotel room and turn on the TV (this was pre-smartphones) and watch the news and see people desperately searching for those little girls in their red football shirts. It sent my anxiety through the roof.

Hope he’s burning in hell.

Boats For Women

, , 0 Comments

It was 1912. Women didn’t have the vote yet. That wouldn’t happen until 1918 for Britain and 1920 for America. And even then it wasn’t all women. To put it bluntly, it was a terrible time to be female…

…unless you were in one very specific scenario: on board an ocean liner about to sink with limited space on the lifeboats.

Come read my newest article! I’ve always been fascinated by Titanic history.

Trapped! in the flooded village

My village has DRASTICALLY flooded, it’s the worst I’ve ever seen it. Can’t get out!


Encountered a lot of folks on this walk to check out the flooding, including kids who were biking through it and people who were gathered to watch cars slowly plough through the water. Hey there’s not a lot to do in this town, you know?

My obscene parts

Yesterday I was mindlessly browsing through Reddit, something you should never do, and I came across a post about breast cancer and how horrible it is. But every “breast” was typed as “brea$t” and every “period” as “per!od.”

Telling people the symptoms of breast cancer is obscene now. It makes me shitting fucking cunting sick.

Fallout s2 finale

(spoilers ahead!)

I’ve sort of shut up a bit about Fallout recently because there’s so much else going on but I really do love it. Everything about the finale was perfect, all the actors were at the top of their game, and there were DEATHCLAWS! (Those were PUPPETS!) Shout-out to the New Vegas opening cutscene reference too! Chills, guys.

There’s one hell of a lot in play for season 3. Looks like it’ll be Lucy and Maximus in Vegas fighting the Legion with the Ghoul in Colorado. It’s a shame that separates the Ghoul from the other characters but on the other hand maybe that means less Ghoulcy on my tumblr dash. (Sorry.) I hope Macaulay Culkin has a bigger role in s3 because he was so hyped up for this one but he was barely in it in the end! And I hope Ron Perlman’s Super Mutant (does he have a name?) shows up again too.

LASTLY, I so badly want Lucy’s yellow dress! I can’t find it anywhere to buy but I would love to cosplay in it!

Ricky Gervais

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”

Ricky Gervais, paraphrased: “Shut up.”


I hate Ricky Gervais. The main reason why is too painful to go into on a fairly throwaway post but I hate him so much it hurts. “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything” but it’s okay for him to lecture people whose kin are being disappeared off the streets. Okay for him knowing his existence is not political. Okay for him to give political speeches, because giving a speech about how people of colour shouldn’t talk ‘politics’ is as political as you can get. I don’t have a pithy comment to end this with, I just hate him, so fucking much.
