[artiekatt]

... So someone was ill this week one challenge in. And the preview has not one but two people fainting. Hey quick question Great British Bake Off: WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS ARE YOUR BAKERS BAKING IN??? I

[artiekatt]

Love how meaningful the judges comments are. Proper heartwarming how encouraging that "ditto" was /s

[artiekatt]

ok there's definitely more ad breaks than previous years right 💀

[artiekatt]

"I feel quite sorry for them" do you? do you really prue?

[artiekatt]

props to the bakers for doing some decent looking cakes under these ludicrous circumstances

[artiekatt]

This technical summed up.

HEY QUICK QUESTION WHAT THE FUCK

... extra surprise?

[artiekatt]

... extra surprise?

[artiekatt]

absolutely gutted I don't get to guess if it's cake or not, actually

[artiekatt]

Wasn’t expecting to see a woman yelling fanny over and over on bake off but pop off, Georgie

... Did the hear the complaints from every other year about the tent being too hot and over-compensated with too cold?

[artiekatt]

if you went for a 15 minute walk outside of your house, would you likely see a nonwhite person walking around?

hey reminder to continue boycotting eurovision and instead turn your eyes on gaza where the last media outlet al jazeera has just been shut down so that Israel can launch its attack on the most densely populated area in the world without scrutiny. Dont stop talking about Palestine

no you don’t understand. x and y were the first pokémon games i, and a significant number of gen z, ever played. my bonds with my two best friends when i was little were almost entirely formed through bonding over these games. we didn’t notice how unfinished it was and loved every second of it. we didn’t notice how unfinished it was until we encountered zygarde, and went online to see if there was more to it and found out there wasn’t. i waited and waited for a pokémon z announcement - i played black and white 2 and heart gold while waiting, and would watch theory videos about what would be in it, or when they would announce it. i’d go to bed at night dreaming of playing it, and talking to my friends about it, and i’d dream of being in the pokémon world and befriending zygarde, and fighting xerneas and yveltal alongside it because it was just such a cool pokémon. and then they never announced it. oras are my favourite pokémon games but they didn’t fill the z shaped hole in my kid heart. by ultra sun and moon times, i gave up and forgot about it, besides feeling nostalgic whenever i heard about the leaked documents proving there was a plan for it. the shoe-horned in zygarde in sun and moon did nothing to help.

and now they announce a legends z game. no doubt a prequel to x and y. the amount of lore in x and y that didn’t get explored is mind boggling, and now we have a chance to finally see it. the king? the pokémon war? volcanion and magearna? diancie? zygarde’s battles with xerneas and yveltal? i’m sure there’s even more i don’t remember. and they even put the mega evolution symbol at the end - everyone’s favourite gimmick, the first to ever exist.

they’re finally going to give x and y a proper ending, a proper goodbye. and i couldn’t be happier.

Noony_boony from Twitter, aka Noury the jjk fan artist from Gaza, posted a fundraiser to help treat her and her family’s injuries after the IDF attacked them with a tank shell as they were sheltering in a school. She and her parents and brother are suffering from terrible under-treated injuries: lost eyes, broken bones, major damage to tissue/muscles, open wounds, etc. Shes fundraising to send the money to her family in Ireland so they can provide aid from there when the war hopefully ends, I’m posting this here to spread its reach as much as I can.

Please share + donate if you can.
