1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work. It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Oh MY WORD! Just finished watching The Seeds of Death, watching Troughton being menaced by EVIL alien foam is always good fun

A bit late, but I’ve narrowed my fave Target cover down to three: Doctor Who and the Dinosaur Invasion because I still can’t resist KKLAK! Ghost Light, so atmospheric, so gorgeous, so brilliantly composed And I still remember at last seeing the long-sought Doomsday Weapon on the shelf…

What's SO dumb about all these flipping stupid bills, including the new "guidance" in the UK, is that trans people have been in the bathrooms of their choice for decades before now, and it was fine. Someone explain to me how suddenly NOW it is a problem, when it never was before.

It was an ancient Gallifreyan tradition to hang a huge side of bacon in a corridor: the Rasher of Rassilon. #DoctorWho

"Some social media users are drawing comparisons between the current moment and early Nazi Germany. "From 1933, the Nazi regime stripped Jewish people of rights, including licences to run businesses, in one of many successive changes that led to the genocide of the Holocaust."

Doctor Who expanded universe writers really just looked at the TV movie and went "the 8th Doctor loses his memories. I guess therefore LOSING HIS MEMORY must be a character trait of his Doctor then..."

This week on YouTube I'm discussing the appeal of tie-in books, and why I have so many of them #BookSky #BookTube #Reading 📚🪐 youtu.be/jiVDbQr4do8

Sad news to hear about Rob Grant last week, someone who has made an impact on me both as a sci-fi fan and as a bookish person youtube.com/shorts/K4-yW...

Cloud Eight without saying too much about where the plot goes, I really love how the Ninth Doctor Big Finish stories can be so unapologetically political, they get Christopher Eccleston to keep doing them by giving them stories about everyday people being exploited since he cares so much about that

I think transphobes are genuinely stupid enough to not grasp that this would be the obvious outcome of their ignorant interference in other people's lives and healthcare, even though this is what always happens when bigots attack bodily autonomy.

"The death [...] may be linked to a group of grey seals operating in waters between Wales and the south-west coast of England, marine investigators say." I love how this is being reported like true crime 😆

Every time I see this tweet I think of the "you've gotta ask the RIGHT expert" scene from The Thick of It. Only this is not satire, it's just a major party leader PUBLICLY boasting about putting biased people in positions of power to act as yes men to her bigotry www.youtube.com/watch?v=lADB...

Certainly online it seems that Dot and Bubble is the cult favourite Ncuti episode, I've seen lots of people talk about it as a memorable episode on here, Reddit etc. Probably because of how relevant it is regarding vapid social media bubbles. I like it, this isn't a critique, just interesting.

The only 10/Rose book I've not yet previously read. So far it's neat to see the one year absence from Aliens of London being brought up and actually having consequences. It felt like that was always just kind of glossed over in the show #DoctorWho

Fifty Shades of Grey is a dark romance, NOT a kink/BDSM story, and this is what vanilla people need to understand (it doesn't help that the author herself was not really literate enough to make that distinction).

The Resurrection Casket may not be the most challenging read but it's good fun, a steampunk romp with space pirates, long lost treasure, homicidal robots and twists galore #DoctorWho 📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Well this is quite a shock... RIP Rob Grant

OTD 1972: #DoctorWho The Sea Devils The Master is in prison—but for how long? And Prehistoric Earth people rise from the deep in what might be called… The War Between the Land and the Sea (and not the only Doctor Who launched today to inspire a much later spin-off!)

Stuff like this always makes me think, the amount of completely needless suffering that goes on, people fleeing their homes, people dying, children DYING, boggles the mind. And it's all entirely self-inflicted by humanity, WE do this to each other, out of sheer callousness, hatred and cruelty. Why??

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Aesthetically, one of my biggest gripes with RTD2 #doctorwho is the end credits are too damn small! It’s very important to see people’s hard work get credited on projects they work on…

To people who still consume JK Rowling because "people are entitled to their opinion," the thing I'm curious about is if that same standard would apply if say the "opinion" was white supremacy. Or is it just when trans people are the target that it doesn't matter?

Whilst the model work is pretty good in State of Decay, does it fail to match the intent of the story? One of the many things we discuss on the latest @thedwshow.net!

I thought I’d try out some drawings pastiching the style of Smallfilms’ Noggin the Nog and the wonderful Peter Firmin. Here are two Doctors having tea together. (Imagine the missing episodes as animated by Small films!)

Forbidden Planet have added New Paradigm Dalek, Coral TARDIS, and Mondasian Cyberman badges to it Doctor Who collection @forbidden-planet.bsky.social #DoctorWho Full details and links:

The image fits perfectly here. I like to imagine this is Belinda from the Robot Revolution reacting to her arc: "wait, so... I get a baby??" #DoctorWho

What the hell is the deal with Belinda's arc and its message though, seriously? She's introduced as very independent, capable woman who isn't taking the Doctor's BS, then gets her life rewritten around her by a conservative grifter to become a tradwife, and basically, that's her happy ending. Huh???

Roughly 1,700 trans people in Kansas are going to have their driver's licenses and birth certificates revoked this week. apnews.com/article/tran...

I feel like Tommy Wiseau this morning with the amount of takes I'm doing just to record a simple YouTube short where I'm not stuttering or holding my book the wrong way up

A detail I like about Cars 3 is how Jackson Storm is framed as the antagonist, but he's no more immature or full of himself than McQueen was at beginning of the first film. I imagine he gets his own arc later where he has to repair a road in a small town and learns about friendship and stuff

I painted this inspired by my farm sign in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Basically the game lets you draw these pixel custom designs and then it smooths it out. I loved my farm sign so much I decided to paint it in real life. #animalcrossingnewhorizons #acnhdesign

We get the sense this is a highly anticipated Doctor Who story for us to be talking about and after a month of anticipation... here it is! Our deep dive on STATE OF DECAY is out now. Let us know your thoughts! thedwshow.net/2026/02/22/a... #DoctorWho #DrWho #StateofDecay #ClassicWho

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

If your priority is stopping Reform you need to know who to vote for to do it. This site has the answer. 👇🏻

The Haunting of Villa Diodati, in particular the "WORDS MATTER" speech, is a self-indulgent piece of garbage and an insult to the core themes of Doctor Who

19/02/26 Doctor Who S7/E6 - The Bells of Saint John Inspired by Whodle, I whacked this on. Can the Doctor driving a motorbike up the shard be anymore Doctor Who? So much fun. I love the whole plane sequence as well.
