I bought a purple tank top today, mainly because it was hella on sale and it fit me nicely but also because when I put it on my brain said “This is a Martha Jones top” and I was very pleased with myself. Now, I can’t remember if Martha ever wore a purple tank top but it’s definitely in the line of things my brain apparently thinks she’d wear.

she did!

i made the mistake of reading the comments to an article about some stuff jodie whittaker said at the baftas, and isn’t this the most hilarious thing you’ve ever seen?

i, for one, welcome our intergalactic patriarchy-fighting trans sister.

Come back to me with the “Moffat is a feminazi” stuff when he actually has a diverse cast of female characters whose episodes actually pass the Bechdel test

Doctor Who Bechdel Test experiment, 2014ish to 2017ish. (Infographics)

But also that’s not really the point (I gather) of this post, you know? That level of violent transphobia and anti-feminism being so damn commonplace is.

btw i will always find fascinating how steven moffat’s writing apparently exists in this schrodinger’s cat-like state of being sexist and full of “male-loathing feminazi venom” at the same time.

but at least the idiot up here — in his own terribile words, sure — acknowledges that it’s the capaldi era especially to bring forth those feminist values that we all love and cherish, which means he’s more intellectually honest than most moffat haters.

and that’s saying something, considering how much of an asshole he is.

This is completely terrifying, so please tell me the ‘110’ up there isn’t the number of upvotes…

Delia Derbyshire (1937-2001) is a British composer referred to as ‘the unsung heroine of British electronic music’. Her best-known work is the theme song for the immensely popular show Doctor Who.

She graduated from Girton College, Cambridge, with a degree in music and mathematics. She then worked extensively with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, creating music for more than 200 TV and radio shows. Despite the instantly recognizable tune for Doctor Who, she was only credited for the first time in the 50th anniversary special of the show.
