I’m getting this printed on a t-shirt
uk
oi british followers, we’re getting a surprise election 3 years early so you guys better fucking register to vote and get out there on june 8th. i’m sick of having to wake up after major votes to see that our futures have been decided by elderly racists and that turn out for 18-24 year olds was low. it’s your fucking future lads. this shit is important.
here is an excellent guide on how to best vote to keep the tories out
im sure yous have heard that theresa may has called a snap general election for the 8th of june (in just seven weeks!!) – uk pals who are 18+ or will be by then, please make sure to register to vote asap if you haven’t already. use your voice. https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
if you’re at uni for the election, you can register in your uni city/town as well (but can only vote in one constituency for national elections)
if you’re abroad/out of town/unable to vote in person you can vote by post (https://www.gov.uk/voting-in-the-uk/postal-voting) or by proxy (https://www.gov.uk/voting-in-the-uk/voting-by-proxy) but you need to apply asap!!!
Regarding that Pearl Mackie rumour.
There’s a couple of posts going around, rapidly gaining traction, stating that Pearl Mackie has been ‘fired’ from Doctor Who after just one series. Source: The Sun. Small problem with this:
The Sun are LIARS. Also racists, transphobes, homophobes, every bad thing under the sun. (Pun actually not intended.) I cannot stress this enough. Even in the UK, they have no credibility whatsoever. They are our equivalent of Fox News. Don’t just take my word for it, read their Wikipedia page.
They’ve worked out by now that a fake Doctor Who story = lots of clicks. Observe:
(They also once ran a story about Harriet Jones being the Supreme Dalek (???), though all evidence of it beyond that one forum link is long gone)
Anyway, and this is the really important part, so important I’m gonna put it in bold and italic and header font:
The Sun did this exact. same. thing to the last Black actress to join Doctor Who in a lead role.
A few episodes into Freema Agyeman’s run as Martha Jones, the Sun claimed she was “axed” (Original article long gone: text of it can be found here) Everyone believed it; the result was distressing to Agyeman, as you can imagine –
And of course it wasn’t true. Freema Agyeman and Martha stuck around til series four.
I am SO PISSED OFF that The Sun did the same thing again, to another young black actress just starting out. So pissed off.
In fact, the bold header text is not enough to contain my pissed-off-ness.
The Sun is not a good newspaper. It is barely a newspaper. It is certainly not a credible source. It actively endangered people’s lives in the 80s with its lies about AIDS. It ruined many people’s lives in 1989 with its lies about the Hillsborough disaster. It published an article by human toilet (/frequent Sun contributor) Katie Hopkins calling for “cockroach” refugees to be gunned down. (Yes. That is a thing that really honestly happened.) It is nothing but lies, lies, racism, every other -ism, and lies. What wouldn’t I give to it, The Daily Mail and the Express gone from the shelves.
Do not believe what they’re saying about Pearl Mackie. Do not believe what they’re saying about anything. If you click on a Doctor Who story and see “The Sun” anywhere near it, immediately back away. They are scum. They are utter, utter scum.
Please spread this around with the same speed with which you would like to see Katie Hopkins punched in the face.

Every now and then I forgot the importance of spreading this news because so many people will either ignore or deny it. As though it is still seen as strange that the vast vast vast majority of Muslims are actually not a huge fan of innocent people being killed.
