The Doctor and River Song

I know a lot of people still hate River Song and that's fine. I understand even if I don't agree with it.

However...

Ever since last Christmas, I can't shake the feeling that 24 years is a LOT of time...like time enough to have a child or two together and have them independent by the end...

Of course, there are my shipping tendencies but he did seem awfully comfortable with the baby even though Stormageddon would have been AGES ago.

Plus, the ending of "Forest of the Dead" has River taking over Donna's role as mother to the children. It always seemed a bit odd to me. I know that was Donna's role so it was nice little mirror but Donna was the one getting married when we first met her...it wasn't an illogical leap to think she wants kids.Why give River children from a story standpoint unless River had been a mom?

Really, they pretty mum on those 24 years...I know he's heartbroken but...still feels like a plot element.

Annual, Semi-Annual LJ Freak Out

I've been on LJ since 2006. I have lived through many, many LJ freak outs. Some have been legitimate. Some have been less so.

I have an old computer. It's 7 years old. As such, it can take slower to load sites which gives me time to read where the information is coming from. LiveJournal has been giving .ru for at least a month. I didn't realize it was a big deal or I certainly would have mentioned it.

No, I didn't think it was a big deal. I have friends from Russia or former Soviet republics. They're good people. No, I don't believe they "installed" Donald Trump into power. The Democrats worked hard to lose their election by ignoring most of the 99%. Maybe they hacked...on one hand, hacking or handling sensitive material to those without authority is bad. On the other hand, without such, we wouldn't know how much they set Bernie Sanders up to fail, that CIA was spying on everyone, that Ike Perlmutter cost us a Black Cat film starring Felicity Jones and WATERGATE!

If Russia is using the physical location of LJ servers as a means to oppress their citizens, that would be different. That is unacceptable. It is a fundamental human right to have freedom of speech no matter where a person is born. It is Article 19 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights published by the United Nations...THAT'S why the United Nations MATTER. If Russian citizens are being punished or censored for or from their LJ account, I want to know. I will tell EVERYONE.

Technically, I have a DreamWidth account and I guess I'll use it to back-up LJ again. I don't like it. It's just...not LJ. If LJ were to die...I'm not sure what I would do. Maybe I would take up on DW. Maybe I would just split up what I want to say among my other social media platforms. Already, I don't post everything on LJ. If it's just a fun photo or observation, I'll probably Instagram or Tweet it.

I have a post listing all my other social media platforms from one of the previous freak-outs in 2012. I've edited it to add newer stuff but not Snapchat. if you really want that one, tell me because I don't use it much. The post is also Friend-Locked so if you want a specific platform and can't see it, ask.

I hadn't really studied this for a year or so and forgot that my second website ever was on that. I tried looking for it a few months ago with no luck so I thought it was gone from the internet. I screencapped EVERYTHING especially the journal, predating this one, that I had completely forgotten about. It includes stuff from college!
DO NOT GO THERE WITHOUT AN AD_BLOCKER!!!
