F1A is really fun, and I think can be beneficial to the future of women in racing, especially if it promotes racing as a viable career for women/if women follow in Marta’s footsteps by using it as a stepping stone to higher level competition/if it helps women gain sponsors & access to team infrastructure they would otherwise be denied.
(It also could potentially be a problem if women get shunted to F1A when they could be competing at a higher level, but I don’t want to borrow trouble.)
One thing I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone point out, though, is there are currently two F1 teams that have signed girls in karting to their junior teams: Mercedes (Luna Fluxa) and Williams (Sara Matsui). This seems to signal a real belief in a future where women have more prominence in motorsport generally and F1 in particular.

“I was a possessed person. I spent about 80% of my time talking about BBC Ghosts, and the other 20% of the time, I was praying for someone else to bring it up so I could talk about it more. I could hear people getting bored with me, but I couldn’t stop.”

sorry about the blood in your mouth (i wish it was mine) (M, COMPLETE, 10/10 [36k+])
Max had read every one of Eddie’s novels and every one of his screenplays. In every single one of them, in every universe that Eddie could think up, she watched as Eddie fell in love with Steve, over and over and over again. They had different names, different professions, there were different, wild, fantastical circumstances, but it was always them. In every version of reality, they found each other. It was time they found each other again in this version and Max was going to help them do it, even if it killed her.
OR: It's 1997, ten years after Eddie and Steve leave Hawkins. Eddie, a novelist/screenwriter, Max, Hollywood's shiniest scream queen, and Dustin, the hottest indie horror director in the business, reunite to make a movie and they're bringing the Party along with them to the middle of nowhere to do it.
(i saw @cheatghost do the penguin cover generator so i bought army pants and flip flops)

Do you like Glee? Well, Up Here is NOTHING LIKE IT. So if you love Glee and find it to be genuinely good, avoid Up Here like the plague. :) But if you're tired of rewatching a show loaded with wasted potential and infuriating storylines that just makes you feel dead inside, and want a new, fun musical series to get invested in, go give Up Here a whirl!
Some key differences:
Up Here's characters are full-fledged adults, not high schoolers
No covers—it's got all original music, written by the same people who did Book of Mormon and Frozen
None of the characters are aspiring singers or actors, so no annoying audition storylines; they just sing because it's a musical
The characters learn from their mistakes! And apologize! And change! And grow!
Cheating is frowned upon, and the cheating character gets no redemption
The leading man can actually fucking sing (I will not be taking death threats at this time)
The leading lady doesn't make you want to kill yourself every time she's onscreen, and is someone you can actually root for even though she's made some poor decisions
It manages to tackle some serious topics without being either preachy, dancing around the subject, or horrifically, offensively Wrong
Every single person sings WITH FEELING
Actions? Having? CONSEQUENCES???? Why, yes!!
The central romance is messy as hell without being toxic, because yes it is possible (they're also v cute)
No cheap shots at the characters' appearances to give the cast new and unnecessary insecurities
Sex positive (like for real, not just pretend)
Being a bully is depicted as a bad thing (LIKE FOR REAL, NOT JUST PRETEND)
Situations of miscommunication/lack of communication/dishonesty are resolved quickly
CONSENT
The score is instrumental, none of that a cappella Flight of the Bumblebee crap
One of these shows has a realistic or at least believable take on the rent situation in New York, and I'll let you guess which one.
Anyways, watch Up Here on Hulu! The show that leaves you feeling like you've been to therapy, instead of leaving you needing therapy. Give it more views to help us get a second season!
