Both come from the Latin "burgus", meaning castle or fortified town. A burglar being someone who bypassed the security of fortifications.

Meanwhile burger comes via Hamburg, the burg of Hamma.

Doctor Who is an ongoing science fiction live action television series started in 1963, it is broadcast by the BBC and created by Sydney Newman, C. E. Webber and Donald Wilson. Mizero Ncuti Gatwa is the Black actor who played the most recent doctor role.

Synopsis "Doctor Who follows the adventures of the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being from a humanoid species known as Time Lords. The Doctor travels through space and time using a time traveling spaceship called the TARDIS, which has an exterior that resembles a British police box. The Doctor encounters various civilizations, which he seeks to protect by outwitting foes and solving crises."

Martha’s treatment devastated me at the time. The first black companion, and she was an intelligent, capable and gorgeous medical student. RTD made her a rebound, the only time that’s ever happened in NuWho. Rose was the Bad Wolf, Donna was DoctorDonna, Amy was The Girl Who Waited, Clara was the Impossible Girl. Martha was only ever an afterthought. The Family of Blood two-parter was the most galling example of this. Martha was forced to play a maid (which, lovely to show black kids- if you time travel with the alien, prepare to play the help!) She was also victimised by a period appropriate racist Englishwoman, who the Doctor later offered to make a companion, even though she was a piece of shit to his actual companion. Then in her series finale, Martha goes around the world, saving it and the Doctor, only for her herculean efforts to never be celebrated by the Doctor or the fandom. Even though she later gets engaged to a fellow doctor, RTD ends her story by making her a soldier and putting her together with Mickey, because they’re both black (he disputes this, he’s wrong).

Bill was wonderful. I loved having her as a companion. Her relationship with Twelve was a blessed relief after Clara and that poor writing. But Steven Moffatt gave her an especially cruel and unnecessary ending. After that we get Ryan, who was sweet and perfectly fine, but one of way too many characters, so he wasn’t much of a character. Loved the Fugitive Doctor, but she was barely in it. I feel like Chris Chibnall tried the hardest in terms of diversity, but while his run wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t great. But it was good to see good black and Asian characters overall.

Now, Ncuti’s Doctor was brilliant because he’s brilliant. But his series were messily written, he barely shows up in his first series, and we’re once again left with RTD’s beloved blonde white companions as the de facto lead. The second series (and its specials) was a mess and has now left the entire show in limbo with original NuWho companion Rose emerging for a fourth time, 20 years after her introduction. Like, I like Billie Piper and David Tennant, but fucking enough. And throughout all of this, we’ve had showrunners, fandom and media willing to throw black characters and their actors under the bus (not in the case of Noel, fuck him).

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado

I wish I knew! I've also been trying to find more of them, here's some I have saved

And some more that I think were edited (cause for some others of these I have in this format I found the equivalent in the format above but couldn't find for all of them)

The image is a textpost that reads:

This #WorldDownSyndromeDay, we've joined forces with @‌coordown and other international Down syndrome organizations to spread the powerful message: No Decision Without Us. [flexed biceps emoji] People with disabilities deserve a seat at the table where decisions are made about their lives, their futures, and their rights. Let's work together toward a world where every voice is valued. #NoDecisionWithoutUs #WDSD25

‌

The text accompanies a video posted by @ ndssorg on TikTok.

The video shows people with various disabilities forcefully requesting that they not be left out of the decision-making process when the decisions affect them directly. The persons with disabilities shown include:

Sophia, a young teen with Down's Syndrome protesting at not being consulted over what dress she should wear to someone's wedding

A smart-suited young man in a wheelchair, protesting at not being consulted regarding the design of a train station, taking his place at the meeting table and planting a figurine of a person in a wheelchair in front of the flight of steps leading up to the train platform in the architectural model

A little person in medical scrubs, protesting that the shelves of medical supplies that she needs for her work are beyond her reach, even with her arm stretched as far as she can vertically

A deaf person protesting at a student assembly that a fire alarm is of little use to the hard-of-hearing community if it is only sound-based

A person with visual disability pointing out that an airport touch screen is of little use to the visually-challenged community if all your fingertips can sense is flatness

A smart-suited young woman with a prosthetic leg and a smart-suited young man (possibly with Down's Syndrome) forcefully requesting a legislative assembly to give them seats at the lawmaking table as well, if the laws that are being made will have an impact on them too

The video draws to a close with Sophia storming into the room at the start of the video wearing an outfit of her own choice: a leather jacket, a black bustier top, a choker necklace and a purple tutu. The whole sequence ends with the cast raising their fists in the air in a show of united strength.
