Doctor Who rewatch: I'm realizing this show is just one trolley problem after another—generally resolved with either a deus ex machina, or the person on the tracks *asking* to be run over.

This sounds like a critique, but it isn't. I love the trolley problem.

I deliberately made myself a healthy food that I can eat all week and all I’m craving is delivery junk food. Who made this stupid body with its stupid desires?

Love to be at the stage in life where I get this message from a friend

When did designers decide it was acceptable to not let users skip through or pause videos? Why are we allowing this anti-pattern to get entrenched?

I also liked “Face The Raven,” the episode leading up to it. Love a narrative that starts as a romp and takes a dark turn.

It's tricky to execute—it needs to be properly but unaggressively foreshadowed. It should feel earned, but still pack an emotional punch. I felt that.

Tbh, a lot of credit due to how Maisie Williams played the scene.

In my “rewatch” I've finally reached the bit of Doctor Who where I stopped watching in the past (series nine, Capaldi's second season).

“Heaven Sent” is actually pretty good. Like kinda I-want-to-watch-that-again-immediately good. Capaldi really hit his stride.

Almost shaved to go to a contra dance tonight and then remembered I was gonna be masked anyway. Live to be lazy another day!

Seems petty 😂

Do you shut the toilet lid before flushing? (To be clear, I’m talking about the *lid*, not the seat.)

Plz retoot for science

I think I need to give myself permission to order groceries on weeks when going grocery shopping is hard. Otherwise I just end up ordering delivery and telling myself I’ll go shopping “tomorrow” which seems worse in almost every way.

The finches don’t stop by at all if there are no hulled seeds. The starlings will keep checking for several days and then fly off disappointed.

But as soon as I replenish the hulled seeds, the finches are back at it immediately. Even if they’re buried amongst shell-on ones!

I never catch them checking when the seeds aren’t there. But they always know immediately when I’ve replaced them! How are they doing it?

I’m so confused and impressed by these house finches.

They don’t like seeds with shells. I think my neighborhood finches are lazy, because the internet says they should have no problem eating seeds with shells. Nevertheless, these little jerks refuse.

I don’t always keep the feeder stocked with the hulled ones. They’re expensive, plus they attract starlings.

Cute couple

Dear iOS devs: Please assume I want to give your app access to a small selection of photos, as necessary, and I want to adjust it on the fly. My photo library is too sensitive to give complete access.

Too many apps I have to adjust the selection in Settings, force close the app, and then relaunch. It’s annoying!

Pretty lady!

You should preorder her book btw. All her previous novels have been fantastic and very funny:

The story of how I broke into my high school's newspaper lab at 1AM to fix the formatting of an image in our EPS file is about to be published in a young adult novel (with some "creative liberties" taken, apparently).

I think this is one of my all-time most on brand stories.

My apartment is absolutely littered with pint mason jars that I filled with water, thinking, "I better hydrate," and then just left somewhere.
