In all seriousness Idris Elba as the 12th Doctor would be a great casting choice because he’d kill it and we’d get to find out just exactly how many anglophiles are also gigantic racists

so i’m trying to think about how i would make those pancakes i made this morning gluten free and vegan friendly.
and i was thinking i could use almond flour instead because almonds and coconut are great together. but as for the thing that i could use to substitute eggs, i’m not entire sure. i know that i could go without, but i think the pancakes would be a little bit denser. so plain apple sauce? mashed bananas?
Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can mobilize an entire society in violent hate against me.

But ask yourself: Why is there that knee-jerk rejection of any effort to “overthink” pop culture? Why would you ever be afraid that looking too hard at something will ruin it? If the government built a huge, mysterious device in the middle of your town and immediately surrounded it with a fence that said, “NOTHING TO SEE HERE!” I’m pretty damned sure you wouldn’t rest until you knew what the hell that was — the fact that they don’t want you to know means it can’t be good.
Well, when any idea in your brain defends itself with “Just relax! Don’t look too close!” you should immediately be just as suspicious. It usually means something ugly is hiding there.
