We use sound methods to explore how young children make sense in museum spaces. We draw from Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the refrain to explore how rhythmic, fragile, and emplaced "little tunes" unfold during young children’s explorations of museum spaces.

What the study shows is that white, well-off, gays and lesbians in mid-to-senior roles in workplaces that self-select for a hate group's mailing list do not like being included under the LGBT+ banner. Shocking!
I don't have to run a survey to know everybody else doesn't like them, either!

The next thing they always say is "imagine him meeting the Daleks again for the first time" as if the problem with the Dalek stories is the Doctor's overfamiliarity with them (rather than ours).

Dr Who is INFECTIOUS. It is in on the joke of how utterly silly it is. It gets you with big feels, even while being utterly, knowingly silly. It's for children but scares adults. It costs a fortune but looks cheap. The Doctor always wins or loses by being clever, kind or sorry, or because love.

Such a BRILLIANT episode. I love it when you have no idea what you're going to get each week. Camp Star Wars, Alien, evil Roger Robert, Die Hard in space,... great season
