You know, just the Doctor defeating monsters through stories.

[id: four gifs from doctor who. in the top two, the eleventh doctor stands in front of the old god, their silhouette dark against its glowing yellow-and-gray face, and raises a hand. “okay, then. that’s what i’ll do.” they stare up at it, eyes shining soft, face illuminated by the glow, and give a small decisive headshake. “i’ll tell you a story.” in the bottom two, the twelfth doctor stands before the wall of diamond, face softly illuminated against the dark background by the bright white light shining from the wall, and they punch it hard. “but it might take me a little while…” they catch their breath, gearing up to punch again. “…so do you want me to tell you a story?” end id]

Series 9 – Heaven Sent

[gif 1: a high shot in the tardis, looking down on the 12th doctor standing still at the console. lights on the console are just turning on. subtitles read “People always get it wrong with time lords.”

gif 2: a shot of his face, warped through the time rotor glass. his face is lit up in blue light. “We take forever to die.”

gif 3: a low-angle close up of his eyes. “Even of we’re too injured to regenerate, every cell in our bodies keeps trying.”

gif 4: a shot from behind the doctor, we can see the screen he’s staring at: a shot of himself outside the tardis, writhing on the ground, his skin badly burnt. “Dying properly can take days.”

gif 5: the doctor talking to the camera. “That’s why we like to die among our own kind.”

gif 6: the same shot. “They know not to bury us early.”]

image–descriptions:

[id: an Oh No comic- three panels, brightly colored, blobby minimalistic characters.

Pink and Orange are standing next to each other; there are sparkles and hearts around them.

Pink character: now that we have become very close

Pink: I can stop pretending to be better than I am

Pink: (now covered in mud) what a relief

Orange character: oh no

/end id]

[pink character also floats up into the sky, that’s the best bit]

Okay, hopefully that’s a good start ❤

the OP of the screenshotted tweet is on tumblr, and an author too, having put out Chameleon Moon and related stories. 

I’m really relieved that both RoAnna and Heather’s books are linked on this post because if their tweets were going to be circulating around Tumblr with no way to indicate that Heather’s written a three-book (so far) fantasy series about magical lesbians and bi women in early 19th century Central Europe and RoAnna writes hopeful superhero dystopians that feature the only f/f/f triad MC’s I can think of in any book, that would have been hecking unfair.

@affablyevil, I hope that helps, but if you want more books, here’s a list I made a while ago of ten SFF f/f’s where they don’t die, and I am continually reading more and recommending more. (Have you heard of Flowers of Luna? College f/f set at fashion design college on the moon.)

[image description: a tweet from RoAnna Sylver (@RoAnna Syvler) reading “This June, please rememeber that there are more LGBT books than the ones you see everywhere put out by the Big 5, ad indies are amazing/worthy.” The next reblog is a tweet from Heather Rose Jones (@heatherrosejones) reading: “Making a list of queer SFF for Pride Month? Remember to look outside the mainstream presses. Don’t shut queer publishers out of queer lit.”]

Here’s a bunch of Goodreads lists that might help! 

Speculative Fiction (SFF and Horror):

And some more lists, including a whole history of LGBT SFF!

Also worth checking out is Queership!

So I was doing some research on common medications for a pharmacology class at school, and realized that Wikipedia is calling out the outrageous practices of pharmacological sales in the US. Right up there in the main intro to the medication they’re showing how much the drug costs to produce, versus how much a typical course of treatment costs in the USA.

Amoxicillin, a front line antibiotic, typically taken at one pill per day. 10 pills cost between 0.20 and 0.50 USD to produce, marked up at up to 80 times the price in the US.

Salbutamol, AKA an asthma puffer, on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines (considered to be the most important basic medications needed to be stocked by a pharmacy/hospital), a life saving medication.

How about oxygen? A tank of oxygen, used as a basic treatment for everything from low blood oxygen to respiratory failure to maintaining oxygen while administering anesthesia for an operation?

Epinephrine/adrenaline, AKA an epipen, given to people having a type of severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, where their airways swell and close up. A person in anaphylaxis will die without epinephrine/adrenaline. Costs at most $0.95 to produce, and they’re sold for $70 at the absolute cheapest for a single vial.

Naloxone/Narcan, used to stop an opioid overdose. $5.30, at most, to produce. $4500 to buy.

Bisoprolol/Zebeta, given for high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and heart failure, sold at over 1000% it costs to produce.

The combined birth control pill, ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel. 

Also, just so you’re aware, as of late Mat 2018, 1.80 GBP is 2.40 USD. For a three month supply of the pill. The same amount could cost you 150 USD in the United States.

The MMR vaccine, given to prevent mumps, measles, and rubella – diseases that could leave you deaf, blind, infertile.

Casual reminder that the for-pay medical system is vicious and morally bankrupt.

Emtricitabine/tenofovir is PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), the daily pill you can take to protect yourself from HIV. But the people in the US who need it most struggle to access it because of price gouging by its manufacturer, Gilead Sciences.

[image is an excerpt from a novel which reads, “I went downstairs to Dad’s encyclopedia and looked up HOMOSEXUALITY, but that didn’t tell me much about any of the things I felt. What struck me most, though, was that, in that whole long article, the world “love” wasn’t used even once. That made me mad; it was as if whoever wrote the article didn’t know that gay people actually love each other. The encyclopedia writers ought to talk to me, I thought as I went back to bed; I would tell them something about love.” end ID]
