This is a lovely article about the missing #DoctorWho episodes, and about film archival in general.

I think it would be quite fitting if the official BBC #DoctorWho account does turn out to have something important to say (nudge nudge wink wink) in the next 48 hours or so, and they choose to announce it on Aral's thread. This is certainly the liveliest the hashtag on the Fediverse has ever been. Like, ever.


And as soon as the question was asked, the man fell silent. #DoctorWho


Just for clarity #DoctorWho is canonically against #EthnicCleansing and would repurpose a hashtag for #Gaza without a second thought. Taking something frivolous and turning it into a tool to save lives is what #TheDoctor does. Read your own texts people.

-- Good evening Doctor Wo. Thanks for coming.
-- Sorry I'm Doctor Who.
-- Who is Doctor Wo? We were expecting Doctor Who.

#doctorWho


Puts me in mind of Dot and Bubble, in which the Doctor refused to let himself be excluded from a conversation by the rules and norms of a social media ecosystem, and used the sonic screwdriver to override a series of mutes and blocks. #DoctorWho

(Aral, is this sort of thing helpful? If not I can stop it.)


RE: mindly.social/@alan/1164146216…

People are facing genocide and some motherfuckers are worried about their precious hashtag.

Fuck you, man. And fuck your fucking hashtag.

What level of privilege is this?

So because of one asshole you're going to shit on the hashtag for everyone who follows it?

Very helpful.



I was walking down the street the other day and I met a man looking rather distraught. I asked them “are you lost?”

“No,” they replied, “I’m looking for the doctor.”

“The doctor?”, I asked, “doctor who?”

When asked why his costumes for the Doctor Who story "The Ice Warriors" (1967) were so weird, costume designer Martin Baugh said in the future maybe we spray clothes onto ourselves and because the spray machines are made out of circuitry that will influence their designs.

That's so brilliant! Better sci-fi speculating than most of the writers on the show!

In memory of Sid Krofft, I'm going to present again my #LandOfTheLost / #DoctorWho crossover theory that posits that LOTL is just a DW spin-off. You'll be surprised how many connections the two shows have!


@craignicol She wasn’t even getting political on the hashtag. Her crime was autocompleting #doctor to #doctorWho by mistake while being Palestinian.


So a Palestinian facing genocide autocompletes a hashtag incorrectly by mistake (#doctor -> #doctorWho) and you jump down her throat?

How about you get some fucking perspective, Angela?
