Did the Master come back just to save the Doctor?

While he could easily have let the Doctor die and be erased from all timelines, all existence?

Kill two birds with one stone: manipulating the Doctor into helping him escape and get rid of the Doctor once and for all?

No: the lovestuck fucker SAVED his old crush, just because.

I don’t know about you, but I will teach my daughters to sock boys who attempt to get handsy with them straight in the mouth.

I FUCKING HOPE YOU SPEND EVERY DAY THINKING ABOUT HOW YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN PATHETIC FOR 27 YEARS AND MORE (I hope the guilt eats you alive)

Bitter existence, better transcendence, and a chalice of bloodied gold, chalice of golden blood Wires connect each other, nonsensical, as I walk among the polluted fog I can’t breathe in this air you’ve killed, and one after another, bodies fall with too many eyes watching Our sacrifice, meaningful and senseless, for what have you done to what could have been, greedy lying Propaganda masters circling everyone, where all their made-up sins intersect, lips sewn shut But even without a mouth, I’ll be screaming

SO PUT ME IN A CAGE IF YOU MUST, PUT ME HERE AND PUT ME THERE, YOU’RE NOT GETTING RID OF ME EVEN IN DEATH I SUBSIST, EVEN IN DEATH I DON’T PERISH, ETERNAL GASOLINE BURNING, STUCK IN YOUR THROAT IF YOU SEE ME AS A BURDEN, I’LL MAKE SURE TO BURY YOU, DEFILE YOUR GRAVE, SPIT ON YOUR IMAGE

Spreading ashes beyond white-made borders, a spinless dance to honour those who couldn’t carry on Charred fingers, for no good reason, but I cannot decay, all alone, without the roots you’ve torn apart I can’t see the sun, hidden behind your lack of justice, and slowly, I can feel the greatest collapse We walk still, no matter how desperate you want us to be, like a broken toy who can’t give up any more You’ve beat me so much, low beneath humanity, where your world doesn’t shine, superficial coatings And yet, from everywhere, I’ll be screaming

MY SPIRIT IS GREATER THAN MY BODY, IT BURNS ON AND ON, UNTIL I COMMIT ARSON ON YOUR ABUSIVE THORNS I HOPE YOU GROW TO REGRET YOUR BIRTH, PRAY WHEN I HAUNT YOU, I HOPE YOU FEEL EVEN A TENTH OF MY CURSE ETERNAL GASOLINE BURNING, DOUSED YOUR EYES IN IT, I’LL SHINE SO BRIGHTLY YOU WON’T SEE NOTHING BUT YOUR MISERY

ETERNAL GASOLINE ETERNAL GASOLINE

What My Father’s Martial Arts Classes Taught Me about Fighting Racism

The goal of martial arts is self-defence. But what happens when the violence is as atmospheric as racism itself?

Sometimes I reflect on my father’s adage. Self-defence is not just about protecting yourself and others but also about protecting your opponent from committing a crime. When I was younger, I was often frustrated with how friendly my father was around police officers. He knew how to act suavely around a cop and shift his accent to sound as white as possible. Even when he was pulled over for speeding, he always recounted the moment as one in which the officer was only doing their job. Many years later, I now understand that acquiescence to be self-defence. I think, deep down, and despite his stating otherwise, my father knew that the police wouldn’t save us either.

Intellectual Self-Defence: Time For A Reading Sabbatical

To be brief: The obsession with quantity and volume has to end. More is not always better. Quality matters most. But people in the 21st century are addicted to endless entertainment, distraction, empty and largely useless talk, and endless amounts of “news” and commentary. Unless we step back, pause, reflect, and do some serious reading, all of this endless flood of information is, quite simply,…

Sterling A. Brown // Old Lem

I talked to old Lem and old Lem said:           “They weigh the cotton           They store the corn                 We only good enough                 To work the rows;           They run the commissary           They keep the books                 We gotta be grateful                 For being cheated;           Whippersnapper clerks           Call us out of our name                 We got to say mister                 To spindling boys           They make our figgers           Turn somersets           We buck in the middle                 Say, “Thankyuh, sah.”                 They don’t come by ones                 They don’t come by twos                 But they come by tens.

          “They got the judges           They got the lawyers           They got the jury-rolls           They got the law                 They don’t come by ones           They got the sheriffs           They got the deputies                        They don’t come by twos           They got the shotguns           They got the rope                 We git the justice                 In the end                        And they come by tens.

          “Their fists stay closed           Their eyes look straight                 Our hands stay open                 Our eyes must fall                        They don’t come by ones           They got the manhood           They got the courage                        They don’t come by twos                 We got to slink around                 Hangtailed hounds.           They burn us when we dogs           They burn us when we men                        They come by tens . . .

          “I had a buddy           Six foot of man           Muscled up perfect           Game to the heart                        They don’t come by ones           Outworked and outfought           Any man or two men                        They don’t come by twos           He spoke out of turn           At the commissary           They gave him a day           To git out the county           He didn’t take it.           He said ‘Come and get me.’           They came and got him                        And they came by tens.           He stayed in the county—           He lays there dead.

                       They don’t come by ones                        They don’t come by twos                        But they come by tens.”

Two psych-based de-escalation tips

From Psych Central:

There's a lot of unspoken/unmet emotional and mental needs when people fight without reason.

More often than not, the triggered emotion is a past emotional wound that hasn't had a chance to heal. Or conditioning that someone else had put onto them.

A trained eye would know the right questions to ask to single out a moment or moments in time of a person's life that require reframing.

In the interim, de-escalate.

And ask, what unmet need is the aggressor trying to fulfill here?

Perhaps they're not too good at verbalising their needs so they resort to fighting?

Defence too can be habit-forming. It is aroused by threat. It can be activated when no threat is intended. And it sometimes continues when there's nothing left to defend.

What happens when you defend a drag show from the armed transphobes who threatened to murder attendees? In Texas, first you get arrested on bullshit charges, then a "Christian fascist fraternity" sues you for violating their "right" to attack drag queens and their fans. When two people facing this situation contacted the International Anti-Facist Defence Fund, we stepped in to help them with their legal costs, because we have the backs of anyone willing to protect people from transphobic violence. You should too, here's how: Chris' crowdfunder Aeshna's crowdfunder If you also think that having a standing fund to come to the aid of anti-fascists in emergency situations like this = a good idea, you should contribute to that fund right here!

Knife

A knife in the dark. When do you fight? “Please,” Cori whipered, “we don’t want any trouble.” A hand on her shoulder. “Stay behind me,” David said in a calm, even voice, “and be ready to run.” His eyes carefully tracked the blade between them and the other end of the alley. “Your purse and your wallet,” the mugger repeated, voice harsh and scraping David’s sensei had said, “Never get in a…
