It’s really heartening how much people on this site came together to help Ahmed @90-ghost. He’s in Egypt now with his younger brother waiting on his mom and older brother to join them. The issue now is living expenses. Life is extremely difficult for displaced people, and the future is uncertain. If you’ve ever wondered how you can help a Palestinian displaced by the genocide, here’s one way to do so.
in the second to last serial of classic doctor who, the curse of fenric, there are strange pseudo vampires. at one point the doctor explains that - despite the folklore - it’s not the physical crucifix that repels the vampires, it’s the faith of the person holding it, their absolute belief in something more than themselves. the priest present fails to repel the vampires with a crucifix, because his faith had been broken by the events of WWII. the doctor repels the vampires with his faith in those he has had as companions, muttering their names over and over.
i mention all this because - and i am not making this up - it is immediately followed by a soviet man repelling the vampires with the power of belief in communist revolution. they aired this in the 80s.
as the show was then cancelled one story later, it remains the only show to ever be cut down in its prime twenty six seasons in.
i knew that monkey man would have at least one needle drop that took me out and it had like ten actually (somebody to love. ooh la la.) but the one that really got me was the metal track during the hijras + dev fight scene bc LOL that's the bloodywood song about how we should kill all domestic abusers. im like not joking the lyrics are literally like if you disrespect our beautiful queens we are going to crazy murder you
