Yeah ok let's talk about Nico Rosberg:

Here's how I view it. One of your best friends from childhood isn't like you. He's black in a sport that doesn't give space to anyone that's not White European, he doesn't come from money, he's in fact struggling to even travel to competitions, and he's good.

He's so good that you and your world champion father are so sure he will be in F1. You get there first but that next season he's in McLaren and he's second.

Then he's first.

You're thrilled for him. He's your best friend. He's talking about how he wants to change the world, and even then you know he doesn't just mean racing, he means the world.

Then in 2013, you're together. Michael Schumacher is gone, and you're first driver and you know Lewis and you could change the world. Sebastian wins, again, but the future feels bright.

In 2014, the car is competitive. No, it's a winner. You know you're capable, it's in your blood. You know Lewis is capable, he's done it before.

Then, Jules crashes. Everyone holds each other a little tighter. Lewis wins, but there is less jealousy and more knowing that it can be done.

Then, Lewis wins again. The team orders are killing you. You know you're capable, but Lewis is better. That's what everyone tells you. He's better, he's faster, and this boy that you have known your whole career, this man who is your closest friend, is also the scale by which you are measured.

And you snap. You have to win. It is in your blood. 2016 is vicious. The world watches as you both throw hats and towels and words in different tongues. Lewis doesn't back down, but in the end, it is not enough.

You win. And then you walk away. You have the title, have lost the friendship, and you have changed.

"we're not friends" is the quote that follows you for years. He runs away when you go for an interview. He doesn't say your name. You don't either.

"Are you a better driver than you were in 2016?" "yes. and teammate." Live and in stereo right in your face.

Something changes after that. You live in the same building, and you sometimes ride the elevator together, but the awkwardness is not there, not like it was. He is kind to your children, the ones who would have called him Uncle Lewis. He sends them Christmas gifts.

You heal your heart and your friendship. You see that even at 40 and seven world championships, the boy you knew still has to prove himself. He still fights every day to change the world. Except now that he's got the platform, people are far harsher than they used to be. Every initiative is met with backlash, every comment taken out of context.

So you resolve to talk about him. You talk about his skill and his talent. You talk about how Ferrari is lucky, how Lewis had always wanted to wear red, who didn't? You talk about how he still drives like he's hungry, hunting, and you don't stop.

Because more than anything, you remember that little kid who no one talked to because he didn't look like everyone else. And the people with the same platform as you still continue to try and isolate him, bring him down, halt change in its footsteps.

Lewis wants to change the world. So do you. You have looked at the environment, the women who want to race, and children like Lewis who had to fight to get anywhere. So you talk and you talk and you talk, because advocacy can be subtle, it can be through talking about how someone is so talented, how they deserve everything they have. It can be about how age doesn't preclude you from talent. It can be about how women in sport are going to be the future. You say it out loud, because you can.

Love is a difficult master, but it is with you always. You love the sport, you love your family, you love your friends and the things you have done together.

Wouldn't you rise to the defense of someone you love and respect?

Third-Eye Man Awareness Poster Reconstruction - Original circa 1997

Created: Circa fall 1997

Archive Number: #3452-7

The original Third-Eye Man Awareness Poster in the archive's possessions is in bad shape, so a digital reconstruction was necessary. Using scans of the three fragments of the poster, one of our Archivists was able to show us what the poster would have looked like in use.

While Columbia residents would have been aware of the Third-Eye Man's presence in Columbia in 1997, (as we believe the first official siting was sometime during the 1940s), out-of-state students would not have been as informed on the creature.

If any community members have an intact, original print of this poster, please consider donating it to the Archive.

An incredible soundtrack

INSANE foreshadowing

And a mixed opinion on fans around the globe

First Impressions on the IDW My Little Pony Comics #1-5

Hot damn! What a good way to set the tone! At the very top you got Derpy and... wait, are those the fucking Blues Brothers?? You have Time Turner and... Tom Selleck pony??? Is that SCREWBALL????? (could it be canon that Fluttershy x nvm, I'm not going to finish that. I wonder if that brown pony in the middle is supposed to be Sergio Aragones?

I'm a bit disappointed. No slice of life stories? Whatever the case, I love these cartoony faces.

These references are kind of fun! I hope they tone it down later, though. The brony troll and creepy costumes were enough.

new meme detected??????

What

Rainbow Dash is Scootaloo's adoptive cool aunt confirmed!!!!!!

Bruh what is this

Damn, going dark... I love these moments of interpersonal conflict in high concept plots that deconstruct how and why people are who they really are inside in a thematically intriguing way.

Spike is a funny fucker

How's your day? Me?

So for those wondering this is how my usual day goes...most of the time it's just boring stroll, sometime I get loss and then there's this.

Red means scary you all...

ok creep.

Someone loves their jams...so much.

Nooooo! It's after for more jam... I need mine inside me.

Don't mind the mess.

And that's my day. Sometime I ran into something intersting. Some silly guy that loved his strawberry jam sooooo much.

i want to cut my hair again. like, undercut with shaved sides, kind of like these fabulous humans:

the only problem is convincing my parents that having short hair won't "turn me into a boy" (little do they know...)

my best bet is to bring it up to them, citing the summer heat (which is actually pretty true, it's really hot and my hair has so much volume) and the way I dislike my hair sticking to my face (it falls just below my ears). I could offer to go alone and pay for it myself, and then tell the hair stylist that I'm non-binary fluid and would like a hairstyle that reflected that.

This is my current hair, btw, but it's grown out a few centimeters since this pic was taken lol

Oh fuck.

I'm not gonna get in trouble for having my fictional company having the same name as another company, right?!
