Brilliant!
Here is senator Wendy Davis’ front door!
Again, no one was hurt.
This is terrible! It says so much when your life is in danger because you support a woman’s right to choose what she does with her own body.
27 year old Whovian dying of brain cancer has last request: place my ashes in a TARDIS urn.
This was forwarded to our attention on both Twitter and Tumblr today. a 27 year old Whovian dying of cancer needs help building a custom TARDIS urn:
My husband is one of the biggest geeks/Browncoat/Sci-Fi lovers I have ever had the privilege to know. He is also 27 years old and dying of a terminal brain cancer.
He’s managed to hang on for 28 months with a cancer that kills more than 95% within 9-12 months. However, he has been degrading in his condition and was placed on Home Hospice Care in January of this year.
I am writing to you to try and fulfill a wish of his; after he passes my husband wants to have a portion of his cremains kept in a TARDIS urn. (The rest will be shot off in rockets he has built over the years with his friends.)
This has proven to be a bit of a challenge for me. I am only 25 and have not been able to work for the past two years to be his full-time caregiver; so hiring someone to make a custom urn is a bit out of my price-range.
Is there any way your awesome C4FL Regresty Readers might know of someone who makes custom urns? Or someone to make a TARDIS urn for him? I have been an avid daily reader of regretsy.com for a few years now and my husband just adores the “This is NOT Steampunk” column (Before his cancer he was in school to become the first “Steampunk Architect”).
With his cancer (Glioblastoma Multiforme), we might have 3 months, or it might be a few weeks. I am really not sure how long it takes to make something like this, so I am trying to get this request of his addressed early, before he degrades further.
Please let me know if you are aware of someone out there who can make this. Thank you for your time.
The couple has since been identified as Kevin Pratt and Tashi King. Here’s a link to a news article about Kevin and Tashi. Here’s a link to a Fundly page to help the couple with expenses.
If you’re an artist who can help, Helen at Regretsy is asking that you email her with ideas, sketches, photos and a link to your store or portfolio. She will forward submissions to the couple, and let them choose.

I know I don’t notice (and that was before I started writing). Say, “Ashley, I want to rock your world,” and I completely understand that you’re talking to me and what your intentions are.
I really liked my little pewter TARDIS pin (seen here in a photo of me wearing a jacket with the TARDIS pin in it). I particularly liked it for all those years of wandering around between coming up with “The Doctor’s Wife” and people seeing the episode. I was handed it at a convention by someone who thought I needed it, and I did. I really did.
And then I took it off the jacket when it went off to get cleaned, and have not seen it since.
So if you’re the people who make TARDIS pins, let me know. Drop me a line through the ASK here. I’d love to buy another one exactly the same, and do not know where to look.
Excellent links and information:
Since Uganda is getting a lot of interest on the internet right now, I figured it was important to try to present an alternative source of information. Invisible Children is, as many already know, a highly problematic organization, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to help. Here are some other sources of information, statistics, and ways to donate/help.
- American Progress’s 2007 report, “What to Do About Joseph Kony”
- Amnesty International’s 2011 report on Uganda
- Global Security’s page on the Lord’s Resistance Army
- Washington Post, “A Child’s Hell in the Lord’s Resistance Army,” May 2006.
- HRW: “Protect civilians from LRA abuses,” May 2011
- AllAfrica.com, “Amnesty International wants Kony arrested,” May 2010
- AI’s Uganda Portal
- Human Rights Watch’s Uganda portal
- Democracy Now!’s Uganda portal
For those asking what you can do to help, please link to visiblechildren.tumblr.com wherever you see KONY 2012 posts. And tweet a link to this page to famous people on Twitter who are talking about KONY 2012!
I do not doubt for a second that those involved in KONY 2012 have great intentions, nor…
Apparently I’ve hit a nerve. xD I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking that one should enjoy their freedom. I personally think you can’t properly be in a lasting relationship unless you learn to live with yourself.
NPR:Alan Rickman, From Shakespeare To Snape
The interviewer actually asked him about whether he is requested to do a GPS voice! XD
But Alan said “No, I’ll be saying ‘no’ to that request.” T___T
My hopes of ever getting GPS are dashed right there. :(
How can there possibly be a competition between Kristen Stewart and Alan Rickman for who fans hope to see nominated for an Academy Award? (And by “competition” I mean she’s actually ahead of him - oscar.go.com) This confirms 1 of 2 suspicions, 1) The human race is becoming increasingly stupid…
