so this stuff about a driver broadcasting p*rn on jonathan wheatleyās pit wall monitor is GROSS. sorry, but it's actually not funny. it shows exactly the kind of culture that festers in motorsports teams, especially when sexist behavior goes unpunished. it's plain unprofessional as well. f1 is an incredibly prestigious motorsports series, and the pit lane is outside and around cameras and the public. this "joke" is the kind of shit bored college frat boys pull. but f1 isn't college, it isnt just messing around. it's a multibillion dollar industry, and if they want people to take them seriously and believe they actually care about the future of the sport, this can't just be taken as a funny joke. i promise you, it isn't a one-off. it's a symbol of a broader culture that doesn't respect professionalism or women.
#ivy yaps#getting serious here.#jonathan wheatley#motorsports#just because f1 is a sport doesnt mean you can excuse inappropriate behavior.#boys club atmospheres have thrived in these areas and its part of the reason there are so few women in motorsports#also: to clarify#i do not think p*rn is inherently bad but i know that a lot of it is directed at men and inherently really misogynistic#and that its super unprofessional to have it in any form at a workplace. grow up#red bull f1#i mean#look. remember what happened with horner last year?#and how there was a complete lack of transparency on who conducted the investigation and how it was done#and we're just supposed to trust it was done completely fairly and people just forgot#this shit fucking matters#MAYBE it could be a one off#if it were just this. maybe its a certain driver who was a teenager and needed to get his head out of his ass.#but other shit has happened at rbr across the years so theres absolutely no reason to trust them now.

ākids spend too much time on their devicesā well what else are they supposed to do? thereās no corner shops with pinball machines in them on every corner anymore. thereās no malls or stores in small towns for teens to hang out in without being suspected of shoplifting or kicked out for loitering. sidewalks are too broken for them to ride their bikes and thereās no bike lane in the street to make it safe for them. i just donāt understand where they expect these kids to go when they keep taking places away from them. and yes having no safe public places for them is what leads a lot of teens into addiction if they end up at a place where people arenāt truly looking out for them.
#autumn rambles#sorry i started thinking about this and now i canāt stop#my parents had arcades and corner shops they could hang out in where the owners treated them like familyā¦#i have a gas station where only old men like to hang out there#(also want to clarify i left libraries off of here because you have to be quiet there.#itās nice for a place to study but itās not really a place for fun unless you love reading which not everyone does)

Shared here today by Matthew Boroson on Facebook. (ETA: Gaining inspiration from other authors is great. Lifting passages and avoiding giving credit isnāt.)
Tanith Lee was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award for best novel, for the second book of the Flat Earth series. She died in 2015. You can buy Tales From the Flat Earth here and here .
#neil gaiman#tanith lee#I had no idea#this has made me even angrier#and also clarifies a few more things for me#anyway I thought youād want to know#eta: inspiration is not plagiarism ā the problem is not that he was inspired by other works#most good authors are#the problem is lifting passages#and the other problem is not crediting inspiration where itās clearly due

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?
#This was prompted by a specific thing but it is also about dozens and dozens of things#Everyone going āXYZ is actually badā like congratulations I wasn't saying stuff can't be bad.#I was saying that you should ask yourself these questions first bc sometimes it's just not to your sensibility.#Former Prime Queue-sector of the Trust#ETA: now that it's been months and this is going around again while certain conversations happen in other fandoms I'm in#It's good to clarify what specifically set off this post even tho it applies to many things. But this was about someone#saying Midst is thematically and narratively incoherent bc it wasn't āeveryone is miserable forever and nobody gets betterā like they wante

#TO CLARIFY ON THE SECOND POINT: VAMPIRES *HAVE* A REPRODUCTION METHOD THAT IS NOT SEX-BASED#THAT IS THE MAJOR POINT OF THAT ONE. THAT VAMP REPRODUCTION IS BASED ON CONVERTING INTO UNDEAD AND NOT PREGNANCY#what i think i keep coming back to is that a vampire is like. a form of pathogen or perhaps parasite#is the individual vampire meaningfully distinct from that? maybe#sort of a made up question#but thatās not a mammal#so neither is a vampire#but also like. a human is a mammal#this question sponsored by my friend who said she was done keeping mammals bc āthey have so much fluid in themā#and my thought that a vampire Wouldnāt#not a lot of fluids. happening there

went on a few dates with a guy and it didn't work out but i'm only really bummed because i'll never meet his friend he kept mentioning, "flamboyantly gay kenny" who won't stop getting in to "problematic situationships." thinking about you, kenny. in another life we're drinking vodka crans together.
#also i think kenny is his dm or just plays dnd with him?#anyway shout out kenny#why my date kept clarifying that he was Flamboyantly Gay i will never know

āwill graham is just a sad poor guy who was manipulated by hannibal lecter-ā BOOOOO!!!!! BORING!!!!!!! MY will graham enjoys KILLING and MAIMING because heās a SICK FREAK
#heās a freak of nature#thatās like the entire point of the show#nbc hannibal#will graham#hannibal#feel the need to clarify that this is primarily a JOKE#will graham being a victim of hannibal lecter AND a sick fuck are statements that can coexist#this is abt people who water him down to nothing but a sad poor guy#also feel the need to mention that when will is at the randall tier display#will says āyou forced me to kill youā and randall says āi didnāt force you to enjoy itā

honestly my mother was a huge champ about her eight-year-old asking to be bought an unabridged edition of the Odyssey for a birthday present, and then she was an equally huge champ about reading her eight-year-old the unabridged Odyssey as a bedtime story and pausing every four lines to define something for me, and let me just say that I have fucking TREASURED the opportunity to reverse that old tradition by more or less forcing her to sit on my couch and listen to Epic and pause it every four lines for my dissertation
#epic the musical#classics#the odyssey#odysseus#look this is everything you need to know about me as a child#firm shoutout to my mother having handled this whole character arc with aplomb#i read percy jackson several years after this. to clarify. i was a little freak is what i am saying.#i also subjected my in-laws to my Odyssey Thoughts while they were here for christmas#to be honest i do not think they expected me to have a 20 minute speech locked and loaded#but again: they were great sports#incredibly convenient of my child self to have dubbed odysseus their blorbo because now i sound fantastically well educated#when in reality this is EXACTLY the same as me talking for 20 minutes about the animorphs#fuckin gottem

splat 2 sketch comic for the starving agent 4 fans (me)
#clarifying right here right now NONE of this is shipping#pls dont interpret any of this as shipping#anyway i think people dont explore marie and agent 4's dynamic enough#marie is shown to be very caring and I hc agent 4 remind her a lot of callie once they open up to marie#so naturally marie is going to be doting as fuck towards this kid#implied angst of marie missing her cousin and seeing her in agent 4#my art#splatoon 2#splatoon#agent 4#marie splatoon#callie splatoon#also splatoon 2 storymode is more irrelevant now than Ever so this is kinda bad timing lmao

Tragic: Guy you based your entire villain backstory on doesn't even remember you
#art#comic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#shadow the hedgehog#infinite the jackal#sonic fanart#sonic#sonic forces#My funny BTS on this comic is Shadow's initial response was 'sounds like cope but okay' but I wanted something less internet-pilled LOL#I've drawn more Sonic Forces fanart than I intended but it is EXCLUSIVELY because I think Infinite is SO funny#I'm gonna shove him in a locker#Bro lost a fight once and it shattered his self esteem#He's been practicing his evil laugh for months and when he finally gets his chance Shadow hits him with the 'I don't know you'#Also since this is taking off I want to clarify: I am a hater in the silly sense. I understand why Infinite has fans#The bones of a good character are there itās just the writing of this game failed him So Bad#Forces is my least fave Sonic game but I canāt stop thinking about it because of its missed potential#Forces tries to make a lot of very serious plot points but the impact is just not there. It becomes unintentionally funny as a result

If there's one shot that's stuck with me during the whole jayce and viktor sequence, it's this one short flashback from season 1. We see almost see Viktor through Jayce's eyes and he looks so? Soft? And the way Viktor looks at him with such tenderness and love in this eyes (his eyes literally soften when he looks at him). This shot just feels so intimate. I feel like I'm walking in on something that I shouldn't
#THE GAY YEARNING IS CRAZYYY. also?? am i wrong or is this new animation? i dont remember this shot. if so. thats even gayer#<- EDIT: okay apparently its not and its feom season 1 and i just forgot it#jayce talis#viktor arcane#jayvik#arcane#arcane season 2 act 3#arcane s2#txt#just to clarify i also think platonic readinhs of this scene are valid. i just personally interpret it as romantic
