Can’t believe how excited I am for The Satan Pit. I’ve watched these episodes so many times, but the re-edit just sounds like too good of an opportunity to miss.

Poster for Doctor Who: The Satan Pit, an extended cut of the two parter from 2006. Poster features Rose, an Ood, and the Tenth Doctor and spooky writing.

good lord, how have they made Siri *worse*

it was more of a very long queue than a march this year, but so much love for trans pride 🏳️‍⚧️

A large amount of people lining Regent Street, with trans flags in the distance. A trans flag sign in the foreground reads Warning, hot trans people approaching! The sky is blue and it is very sunny

what a tiring week this has been

A cold, frosty jetty cuts diagonally across a calm blue lake.

Water at Lake Geneva — incredibly clear, to the extent that it reflects light almost like a jewel, with emeralds and blues shining through.

a very good, very queer time was had at Release Me last night sadly none of them are on Bluesky, but featured performances from August Carvalho, Lydia Shute, and Sir Jude, hosted by Miss Darcey

August Carvalho performs with Blair. They are both playing guitars and singing, wearing white flannel shirts and black trousers. They are in front of a curtain lit with blue and pink lights.

Lydia Shute singing and playing guitar. They are wearing black jeans and a black and red jumper. Their hair is braided with red highlights. They are performing in front of a curtain lit with pink and blue lights.

August Carvalho being interviewed by Miss Darcey. August is wearing a flannel shirt and black trousers, and is holding a microphone and smiling. Miss Darcey is wearing a black top, black skirt, and cowgirl boots, and they are laughing and smiling. They both stand in front of a curtain lit with pink and blue lights.

Sir Jude performs at Release Me. They are wearing a cropped black top and a black leather skirt, adorned with metallic details. They are pushing their hair back with their hand whilst they sing in front of a blue lit backdrop.

I think there needs to be some updated guidance on where signs are positioned. I cycle to work via CS6 through Farringdon and they’ve placed a sign directly in front of the cycle traffic lights. It’s a very busy junction and those extra seconds you get before cars sometimes make a big difference

A map of the junction of Farringdon Road and Charterhouse Street. The marked location is the position of the traffic lights, which a sign has been placed in front of, obscuring the view for cyclists.
