doctor who - the giggle
lots of great stuff in this but i love love love love love shirley's actor tearing up recounting the circumstances that led to the wheelchair-accessible tardis. you cannot tell me that this is some kind of cynical pandering, it might not matter to *you* but it matters to SOMEONE. it's the same with rose being an nb transfem-- we don't have to aggressively read ourselves into this world anymore, because we're **already there!!!**

@sarahzedig she's actually worked with RTD before and helped him write for her character's disability, it sounds like Davies leaves some of the writing around Shirley up to her!

@sarahzedig The one "moment" that I liked was whenever Kate took off her Zeeband, and went "I'VE SEEN YOU WALK!" ... Then apologizing after the band's back on.
Shirley definitely went "I've heard worse, we're good."

it's crazy how much i absolutely cannot stand anyone talking about doctor who in video form. there's a couple bloggers whose opinions are good and then everyone else i'm like... you are playing in sand with these takes... you are like a child...
so it's cool that i'm making a video essay, which will definitely be received and appreciated by the right audience
