gallifrey-feels:

“Sorry, did I say ‘everything’? I was meant to say ‘nothing’…”

I want to talk about this scene.

Because when you think about it, it really does say everything. Not in the way Donna meant, that she is vain and shallow and domineering (she is SO not), but in that her experiences of men have shaped what she wants in a man.

“Gorgeous, adores me and hardly ever speaks a word”

I don’t think Donna was ever physically abused by a partner, but it’s obvious, especially in ‘The Runaway Bride’, that she is particularly sensitive to verbal abuse (fucking Lance). Therefore, it makes perfect sense that she would want a man who has trouble speaking.

We see in ‘Turn Left’ and ‘Journeys End’ that Donna does not feel that anyone is listening to her. In some respects, she’s right. She also believes that she’s ‘nothing special’, a dull person with very little to offer. So OF COURSE she wants someone who adores her, who hangs on her every word.

She just wants to be heard.

And I think the greatest tragedy of all was that the Doctor saw that. He heard her, he listened.

And she never knew.

She knew, but the she had to forget.

Why do people not count Rory as a companion? HE IS TOO A COMPANION.

IF YOU DON’T THINK RORY WILLIAMS IS NOT ONLY A COMPANION BUT THE BEST GODDAMN PERSON IN SERIES 5 AND 6, THEN I’M SORRY, WE CAN’T BE FRIENDS.

Green Pedestrian Crossing created by Jody Xiong

The China Environmental Protection Foundation developed an outdoor campaign, displayed on the street, to creatively promote this message. They decided to leverage a busy pedestrian crossing; a place where both pedestrians and drivers meet.

The campaign involved laying a canvas 12.6 metres long by 7 metres wide on the ground, thus covering the pedestrian crossing with a large leafless tree. On either side of the road, beneath the traffic lights, were placed sponge cushions soaked in green, environmentally friendly, washable paint. As pedestrians walked towards the crossing, they stepped on the green sponge, thus leaving green foot imprints on the canvas of the tree. Each ‘green’ footprint on the canvas looked like leaves growing on a bare tree, which made people feel that by walking they could create a greener environment.

The ‘Green Pedestrian Crossing’ was carried out across 7 thoroughfares in Shanghai. The campaign was then extended to 132 roads across 15 cities in China, with a participation exceeding 3,920,000 people.

Watch their video below:

“

If people don’t want to be offended, they shouldn’t go to comedy clubs? Maybe. But if you don’t want people to react to your jokes, you shouldn’t get on stage and tell your jokes to people.

This fetishization of not censoring yourself, of being an “equal-opportunity offender,” is bizarre and bad for comedy. When did “not censoring yourself” become a good thing? We censor ourselves all the time, because we are not entitled, sociopathic fucks.
