ABSOLUTELY EVIL to let a 19 year old kid take the last all deciding penalty with the entire country on his back and the pressure of a stadium full of 60k people on his shoulders, this kid played his first tournament and is now gonna have to endure racist abuse, gareth soutgate you’re going to hell for this

There's something really special about lil nas x being like "subtext? No. Old town road is literally about riding horses. If I was going to write a song about riding dick, like. Trust me. You'd know" and then he did

[floutingmaxims]

you know what's going on with lil nas x is persecution, right. it's not "just" internet trolling—he's only 21 and being targeted by SITTING SENATORS for his art. this is textbook persecution, complete with the coalescing of religion and political power, and the fact that he can fire off meme-y one liners doesn't change that! fucking hell! it horrifies me how this is being played off for laughs, even by leftists and "we are the daughters of witches you couldn't burn" crowd. it's terrifying and the actual, bodily threat to him is VERY REAL regardless of how funny his responses are.

the complaints about the diversity in bridgerton astound me. “simon was described with piercing blue eyes” “i love black people, but segregation wasnt lifted in england at this time, they would all still be slaves” “wouldnt mind the diversity, but its not historically accurate.” 

honey. you are saying these complaints as these character waltz to instrumental Bad Guy by billie eilish in dresses and suits that are colors that didnt even exist yet adorned with plastic sequins and glitter. historical accuracy was not their goal. just say youre racist and go.

Hi! I would love Alex/Reggie for “You need a hug. I can tell.” This whole fic compilation has been amazing 😊

thank you!!! i’m having a lot of fun writing these!

-x-

Alex grunts in surprise when a pair of arms suddenly wrap around his waist and a body presses against his back. He looks down and sees the sleeves of Reggie's leather jacket and he laughs.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm hugging you," Reggie replies matter-of-factly.

"I know that." Alex tries to pull Reggie's arms loose, but he won't budge. "Why are you hugging me?"

"Because you need a hug. I can tell."

Alex snorts. "You can tell?"

"Yes," Reggie says, nodding his head against Alex's back. "It's very obvious."

"I-- okay." Alex sighs. "How long are you going to hug me?"

"Until you don't need a hug anymore."

"How long will that be?"

"Dunno yet."

"Can I at least turn around?"

Reggie's arms loosen a little, allowing Alex to turn around in his arms and be met with Reggie's smiling face. His grip tightens once Alex is facing him, and he immediately presses his face into Alex's chest.

"Okay," Alex says softly. He puts his arms around Reggie and hugs him back. "Did I really need a hug or did you need a hug?"

"Shh," Reggie says, "don't question the hug."

old people really need to learn how to text accurately to the mood they’re trying to represent like my boss texted me wondering when my semester is over so she can start scheduling me more hours and i was like my finals are done the 15th! And she texts back “Yay for you….” how the fuck am i supposed to interpret that besides passive aggressive
