listening to a radio interview rebecca did today, and when discussing the themes and origins of “stronger than you” and garnet, she spoke about how much the garnet/ruby+sapphire is based on her and ian’s love, an “interracial and gender expansive” love. and she spoke about how the song was somewhat inspired by a time in 2009, when her and ian were walking around their neighborhood, and several skinhead-looking types grabbed her, and pinned her against the wall, and asked “well, what do we have here?”. and said the song was about how despite that sort of persecution, they survived.

Tribbles have picked the wrong man to mess with
It looks like someone was bullying the Doctor and now he’s telling Bill so she can beat them up
PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.
Snopes confirms.
Her tea is cold and the cat hasn’t been scratched since Heather left for work six hours ago, but forty-seven student papers are graded and ready to be sent back to the despairing arms of their creators. She checks them over one more time and takes a deep breath. “Sending in three…two…one…and done!” Bill slams the button with more force than a casual observer might think warranted, then startles out of her chair as a wispy figure materializes behind her.
“Heather! Thought you had work all day today.”
“Yes, but every writer has her process. You know me…I can’t stay in one place too long. Unless,” Heather adds, shaking her curls, “my wife is in that place.”
Bill chuckles, tilting her chair back to look Heather in the face. “Kiss?”
“Always,” Heather says, and bends down. Their lips brush for a moment, greeting and affirmation in one.
