I don't think we should always have to include the "upswing" in struggles we share
When you're in the shit of it & all you hear is upswing, you can feel more alone—that you need to "suck it up/be positive." And I find that toxic
Still, I have BIG feelings about sharing my suck with so little upswing
...cause I'm a hypocritical asshole when it comes to myself🙃
Full thought:

Screenshot of my full linked post. It reads (in part): 

"I'm feeling quite conflicted about posting my open letter to my body. It feels too rough & unformed. And too much of a downer. I do have rallying within me...I will keep going...I always have...but I just don't think we should always have to include the upswing...because it overshadows/whitewashes the darkness that also deserves recognition. When you're in the shit of it, & all you hear from others is the upswing, you can be left feeling…

This black-and-white photograph depicts a small outdoor kiosk or stall. The kiosk is adorned with various plush toys, prominently featuring several Mickey Mouse dolls hanging at the top. Below the toys, there are shelves stocked with small items, possibly keychains or small trinkets. The front of the kiosk displays images of ice cream cones and bottles of beverages, suggesting that it might also sell refreshments. The setting appears to be a park or a fair, with trees and a fence v…

"In this reading note, Mandy quotes from Verlyn Klinkenborg’s:

It’s hard work, and it’s been hard work for everyone all along. There’s good reason to believe this, apart from the fact that it’s true. If you think that writing—the act of composition—should flow, and it doesn’t, what are you likely to feel? Obstructed, defea…

Me (to myself): Get in to work early this morning, with no messing about on the way in. Just 'a to b', fast and efficient!
Also me: [Leaves very late, grabs a unicycle and proceeds to cycling in via the following route]

Map of Olso with a route marked out in pride colours. It goes a long round about way, rather than direct from a to b.
A green flieger style watch, on a hairy arm with the time shown as 9:57:55. Next to the watch is a pride armband. Below the arm you can see a persons leg and the wheel of a unicycle.
A view looking down at Karl Johan's gate in Oslo, taken from near The Royal Palace. It is a long straight road with lots of trees on either side. There are gloomy clouds overhead.

Content warning: re: Doctor Who - Reality War
:tardis:

Confusing episode. Let me clear it all up.
The world is sinking into the doubt needed to rescue Omega, remember, and The Doctor is falling with a balcony that's separated from the building.
How does he get out of that?
Well, saved by a literal magic door that pops out of nowhere, leading back to the time hotel. 🤨
Anita, who he spent a year with once a couple of Christmases ago, has been popping around the Doctor's entire long life, peeping on him with the Daleks and stuff. Trying to find him on the Earth's last day. Today.
And now he's rescued, today turns into a groundhog day. Same day over and over again. 😆
There's another woman that's been stalking him through time lately, Mrs Flood. She was following him everywhere, but she had Xmas off she reckons, so didn't see the Time Hotel bit. Thus the element of surprise in the deus ex machina rescue. 😀
The Doctor is broken free of the wish spell now anyway, popped his conditioning, and can use the time hotel's door to recall Unit and break them all out of the wish too.
The Rani pops in to say hi and explain her plans. 😝
How did the Rani survive the end of the Timelords? She flipped her DNA to sidestep the genetic bomb apparently? Well that makes no sense, but nor does anything else so no time to ponder.
The end of the Time Lords made them all Barons... No, made them barren. There can be no more children of the time-lords.
She's popping Omega back out of the underworld for his DNA because the timelords are all barren and she wants to recreate Galifrey.
But wait a minute: Poppy is the Doctor's kid in wish world! So she should have Timelord DNA too! Maybe that could work?
No. The Rani is a nazi, don't like the kid's contaminated blood. She's got human all over her DNA. Eww.
Rani pops off back to her Bone Palace, and makes the bone beasts attack.
The Doctor explains that the Giant dinosaur skeletons are beasts that pop in to clean up the world when there's a reality flux, and the Rani has turned them on Unit HQ.
So the UNIT HQ turns into some kinda ship? Like the Crimson Permanent Insurance. Lol. It's blasting lasers at the bone beasts and turning around, and has a steering wheel like pirate ship now. 🤣
During the battle, the Doctor pops out to take a ride on the sky-bike, looking like something from Flash Gordon, and crashes into the Bone Palace.
Too late though! Omega is pretty much here now. He's a giant boney CGI zombie, become his own legend. Looks great but doesn't really seem like Omega, who ought to be held together by pure will.
Omega eats the Rani! One of the Ranis anyway. Mrs Flood avoids being eaten. She pops off with the time bracelet. "So much for the Two Rani's. It's a goodnight from me!" as she disappears off into time. Great gag. 😁
The Doctor just shoots Omega to get him back into his box. Pops a rifle off the wall. The Vindicator has apparently also got a built in laser as well as locator beacons. So that's handy. The Doctor doesn't use guns but some of his devices work like one. 🔫
So all is well! The day is saved and the wish is over and baby Poppy survives in a time box! 🍻
They're going to take the space baby off to do space adventures. Ruby is jealous of seeing The Doctor and Belinda vibing like that, as they plan a life in space with the space baby. Aww. Poor Ruby. 😭
But then Poppy pops off! Disappears entirely, and everyone other than Ruby forgets. Ruby remembers because she's disappeared from time herself in the past they say.
Okay: to save his child and on Ruby's word alone, the Doctor will sacrifice himself to turn reality one degree.
He goes off to commit suicide by Regeneration, but Thirteen is here! She's popped out of her timeline to stop him! Or maybe to help, with a motivational chat instead. Gives him a pep talk then pops back off again.
The Doctor zaps reality with his Tardis, dying but holding off on the actual regeneration for a few moments to go check on the kid.
The kid is safe! But isn't his own kid any more. Poppy has popped all her Timelord DNA and is just all human now. Poppy's pop isn't the doc, it's someone called Richie.
And Belinda has been so keen to get home all this time in order to get back to her Baby! Who isn't a timelord, and definitely didn't exist until she was wished into being.
This may not be the most ethical action The Doctor has ever taken: To bend the whole universe in order to recreate a baby that was accidentally wished into being out of nothing. Twisting time to give a child to a nurse who didn't previously have a child, or even remember the wish. Then it's not even the same child that disappeared, coz this one is all human. 🤷
But the doc is popping off to regenerate with Joy in the stars, and... Turns blonde: "oh. Hello?" 🤯
It's Rose! Billie Piper is back? Fantastic!
Is Rose doing a David Tennant Impression there?
Billie playing the Doctor, doing a Tennant impression as Bad Wolf? Amazing. Can't wait.

Short close-up video of a small, but intensely flowing waterfall in a canyon, filmed directly from the narrow path going next to it. Turquoise water, spray, the camera initially following the flow, then panning upwards to show the depth of the canyon...
