Steven Moffat is great at writing one off episodes, and I'm so glad they brought him back for that. This episode was just chilling on so many levels, and felt like a really nice contrast to the previous two episodes which were much more light-hearted. I think in a lot of ways it reminded of episodes like the magicians apprentice or the doctors daughter, with people fighting for no reason at all while being so convinced they are right, and it felt really good to see ncuti acting in those types of scenes.

Steven Moffat coming back to Doctor Who after years away just to go after capitalism, organized religion as a cover for violence, the military industrial complex, AI, and “thoughts and prayers” in 46 minutes.

Interstellar Overdrive

A Tess x Joel bodyguard/boss AU set in the 1970s whew

His fingertips brushed through the curtain of hair hanging to her waist. Dressing like a goddamn hippie with motivations that were resolutely square. A capitalist muckety-muck playing dress-ups with the beautiful people. Tess had some goddamn nerve and he wanted every last piece of her, Duke’s warnings be damned.

Because Duke was right – he’d never met anyone like her before. And maybe by getting a little closer he could unravel the enigma, because he’d meant what he’d told Duke – one woman was, essentially, the same as another. There were a finite number of parts people could play. And she was just playing one of them, concealing it a little better than most.

Tess whispered again in his ear: “You answer to me, now.”

Chapter One now on AO3! HNY!

one of the most important lesson I teach to all the kids I tutor is to work out *why* they got a question wrong, because the reason means how we deal with it is completely different.

got it wrong because you didn't know how to do it? cool, let me teach you this method!

got it wrong because you didn't understand what the question was asking? cool, let's go through how to read exam questions and figure out exactly what they want.

got it wrong because you didn't check for arithmetic errors, or you didn't catch them? cool, let's go through how to check your work correctly.

and it really annoys them sometimes, because they want to just move on, but when they start doing this our seasons move so much faster, because if they got something wrong they can tell me why and we can fix it rather than me trying to figure it out. yeah, it takes a while, but asking why mistakes are made is really important!

one of the most annoying things about corporate culture is that everything needs a "solution". if one person makes the smallest mistake we gather like 12 people in a room and talk about our "plan to make sure this doesn't happen again". a plan?? someone set a support ticket status wrong and we need a plan? ok here is my plan, we remind them what the correct status is and we immediately move on. but no we have to be """solutions-focused""". ridiculous. its for managers who have nothing to do all day and need to justify their 200k a year salary. how about you FOCUS on leaving my team alone buddy.

I have a whole set of glass animals! I started picking them up at Whipsnade (an amazing zoo, it's connected to London Zoo and does awesome conservation work), and now whenever I go abroad I try to find one. My current favourites are my scottish Highland Cow and my sea lions.

if you don’t have @ least one collection of specific items i literally have nothing more to say to you. we will never relate to each other. however, you cool ass motherfuckers who do collect @ least one type of thing, reblog this post and say what that thing is. i’ll go first: clown dolls and good luck charms

got trapped under a weir current while canoeing and almost drowned (and did dislocate my shoulder and knee), took two minutes of me being dragged back underwater before someone could get close enough to me to pull me out

then caught COVID two days later and got an awful secondary chest infection lmao

I still plan to canoe that stretch of river again
