this post's hypothetical by itself is already ridiculous but the thing that gets me is how the wording implies two very funny things that become funnier in tandem
1. "Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby" means this is a mistake on the pitcher's part. i imagine the pitcher is breastfeeding on the field and they pitch and they look down at their hands and they see the ball still in the glove and they go "fuck"
2. hitting the baby will still win you the game

I hate, hate, HATE the term “affordable housing.” I hate that we’ve normalized it. I hate that we just accept that the majority of housing, a basic human right, is unaffordable to much of the population. Housing should be affordable as a baseline. If rich people want to add arcades and gold-plated hot tubs on top so be it, but everyone, everyone, regardless of income level, should have access to a clean, comfortable home with enough light and space to make life worth living.

I think The Bear, and its treatment of Sydney in particular, is a prime example of how some racism can be completely unintentional and come from even the most well meaning people.
Because it's clear Chris Storer absolutely adores Ayo Edebiri, from the way he sought her out for Sydney after working with her on the Dickinson show (and completely changed the character of Sydney from what was written in the pilot script) and has taken her under his wing so he can teach her to direct. And he's also given her the opportunity to write, direct, and produce on the show which are opportunities no other cast member has gotten.
Yet it's been 4 seasons and Syd has not been fleshed out and developed the way other main characters have. And in season 4 there were two instances where she was used to prop up a White character or their storyline; first with Claire after Emmanuel's heart attack (as a doctor-y aside, not sure why Claire said Emmanuel had first degree heart block when that's not the same as a heart attack nor is it even a medical emergency? doesn't make sense that that's what happened so not sure what that was about) which is a scene clearly designed to endear the audience to her, then again when her and Carmy's long overdue conversation in the season 4 finale was used as a jumping off point for Carmy and Richie's conversation to work through their shared grief over Mikey, meaning Syd and Carmy couldn't continue their conversation after without Syd coming off like the asshole.
It's fucking frustrating

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

i'll defend fanfic for my whole life. like the joy it brings is genuinely transformative and indulgent in a way unique to the genre. it isn't meant for a market, it isn't meant to be sold or marketed. it is born out of such care and passion for a media that one must write and must share it, so other folks can enjoy it to. for no other reason than love and joy. do you know how special that is? especially in our current social and political climate.

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.
her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.
icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.

Listen, I like Sydluca, of course I do. I like Sydney and I like Luca. It’s a perfectly decent, perfectly reasonable choice.
However, Sydcarmy is crack. Sydcarmy is that bad bitch you’ve been in love with forever and sure she’s not 100% healthy but who is? It’s like having to pick between 70% cacao chocolate and Reese’s cups. Yes, the first one is better for me, and it’s still chocolate, but those Reese’s cups man… that’s the shit I fight for lol
Clairecarmy is dogshit, it’s actual shit from a dog’s anus. And if I have to pick between that and 70% cacao chocolate I’m going with chocolate.
