This thread is 🔥. For me it feels something of a life saver too. I was plunged into despair last week after a media omertà & spectre of a cancel culture piece at our (women’s) expense. Thank you for having the guts to call out ALL of this.

Just finished reading Meiko Kawakami’s “Heaven” and honestly I found its unflinching eye, vulnerability and refusal to simplify, save or judge completely remarkable. What a book.

I mean, I totes loved Ace as a kid (still do) and I’m all here for Sacha Dhawan’s Master, but… well, I’m just mega hoping that the next era of #doctorwho will return to proper emotional investment in the characters, and stories that make dramatic and emotional sense. Can’t wait.
