I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE SAY THAT RIVER ISNT GOING TO BE IN DOCTOR WHO ANYMORE?!?

I mean we even heard how the last scene with the doctor and River is going to be like, and that was not it. Plus the ‘spoilers’ in the end which obviously tells…

Ahhh, ok. I’ve missed the minisodes and DW Confidentials. :( I suppose I’ll have to get the dvds from the library and try to get all my blanks filled in.

People of color, women, and gays — who now have greater access to the centers of influence that ever before — are under pressure to be well-behaved when talking about their struggles. There is an expectation that we can talk about sins but no one must be identified as a sinner: newspapers love to describe words or deeds as “racially charged” even in those cases when it would be more honest to say “racist”; we agree that there is rampant misogyny, but misogynists are nowhere to be found; homophobia is a problem but no one is homophobic. One cumulative effect of this policed language is that when someone dares to point out something as obvious as white privilege, it is seen as unduly provocative. Marginalized voices in America have fewer and fewer avenues to speak plainly about what they suffer; the effect of this enforced civility is that those voices are falsified or blocked entirely from the discourse.
