[id: a screenshot of text from, presumably, an interview, reading: Playboy: In some of your books–especially The Sirens of Titan and Slaughterhouse-Five–there’s a serious notion that all moments in time exist simultaneously, which implies that the future can’t be chanced by an act of will in the present. How does a desire to improve things fit with that? Vonnegut: You understand, of course, that everything I say is horseshit. Playboy: Of course. end id]
Illustration by Mark Maddox (from DWM: An Unearthly Beginning article)
The illustration shows a moment from Anthony Coburn’s third draft of An Unearthly Child in which this happens:
“Showing great strength and agility, Dr. Who swings the schoolmaster off balance with a judo throw!”
Let’s all think for a moment that this could have happened. The Doctor throwing Ian into the air! Love it!
This is so fucking ridiculous but I barely even noticed because at this point you could tell me literally anything about Doctor Who and the only reaction I’d have is “that sounds about right”
moral of the story is…..being racist and bitter makes you age like milk
this bitch is FORTY THREE????
43 decades
Yet this post is the most racist shit.
How… Is this racist what?
Racism goes both ways.
How is this post racist
If I made a post that compared black people’s skulls to white people’s I’d get called a racist. Here you are saying white people age faster.
This post is about a specific racist woman. But funny you read the statement ‘Racist people age faster’ and immediately saw it as an attack on white people.
Almost as if there’s an antiwhite bias on this site. And racism doesn’t suddenly become okay when it’s directed toward a racist.
My point is this isn’t racism. Even if racism against white people was an actual harmfull issue, nowhere in this post is the race of her or any of the other women mentionned or alluded to. This is about racists.
So you’re trying to tell me that it’s just a coincidence that all the women on the right side just so happened to be white?

The AO3 Tag of the Day is: Renaissance fanart
I’m gonna let you in on a secret.
That aint renaissance fanart
You know what, assholes? I run this blog for y’all every day. I see things you cannot begin to imagine. I have to read people’s Robespierre smut and their questions about how various monsters would fuck them. I am so jaded that, when someone submits a tag mentioning some random vaguely liquid substance without context, I just assume it’s being used as lube. Nutella? Lube. Crazy glue? Lube. Divine fucking ichor? Fucking lube! I do this for you, y’all. I shield you from this shit. I stand athwart the tides of horror, hold my hands up, and yell “STOP” in the hopes that it will keep the waters from reaching you.
So you know what, fuckheads!? If I want to maintain the one tiny scrap of innocence I have left, I will. The official policy of AO3TagoftheDay is now that turtles, teenage, mutant, ninja, or otherwise, do not fuck. It never happens. They don’t fuck. They don’t fuck each other. They don’t fuck humans. They don’t fuck in real life and they don’t fuck in fiction. This tag is about two gay Renaissance painters holding each other close and kissing chastely under the Sistine chapel ceiling.
There. Glad we got that sorted out. Please return to your regularly scheduled programming.
Today’s fun surprise was seeing puella translated as “whore”.
The other week it was seeing Fagles’ translation of Lacaena as “Spartan whore”
[image is the is this a pigeon? meme: the guy is labelled “Male Translator”, the butterfly is “literally any noun, pronoun, or adjective referring to a woman”, the subtitles read “Does this mean “whore”?”]
