Mekies: “On one hand, we have Daniel who brings race winning experience to the team and OUTSTANDING technical capabilities and sensitivities for what the car is doing. You have the incredible energy that he brings to the whole team and it helps all of us to deliver 101%”
Daniel: “I feel good. I feel like it’s early days of my career again. I have that enthusiasm and that real love for the sport again. I just feel like a better version of myself.
maybe it’s because i’m so starved for sapphic attraction, but i’m only now realizing how much ava was holding back with bea. ava unashamedly flirted with jc and literally tried every possible trick in the book. my girl actually took drugs to try and get lucky, ffs (all for some cardboard stick. come on, ava, at least simp for a man with a personality.)
with bea, on the other hand, ava’s affection slips through the cracks. she falls for bea and quickly realizes that she’s not allowed that, she can’t fall for her best friend. so she loves quietly, or as quietly as she can manage. she lets herself have the little things, and she takes what she can steal. she loves so wholly and she wants to show it, but she can’t. she lives off the crumbs she allows herself, paints her love as friendship, and no one was the wiser.
A quick PSA as this has happened multiple times now:
Like my work and feel inspired to make something similar? Great! Have fun with it! Want to reference my work’s composition/colors/pose/concept/style? Go right on ahead! I hope it’s inspiring and helps you in your process! But please, do not trace my work and call it your own.
sorry I’m just actually sick to death of being told I’m intimidating . I know it’s scary when a woman talks without apologizing for herself constantly but maybe uhhhhh grow up!!!
When somebody only uses my chosen name while putting me down, it kind of makes me wish I didn't have a name at all.
And when somebody only uses my pronouns when they try to coerce me into something, then switch back to they/them when talking about me to anybody else, it kind of makes me uncomfortable af.
I sincerely do not enjoy being labeled or referred to. Being referred to is such a negative experience for me irl.
Yet not giving people a set of name/pronouns when they ask automatically seems to make them think you're secretly a serial killer trying to cover up something?????? Or like you're untrustworthy and must be hiding because you're a Bad Person instead of just not wanting to label yourself.
Can I just please not be forced to label myself for everybody else's comfort?
I feel like that information is so personally intimate anyways like unless you know me and we're close, why do you even care? I don't think it's necessary for the first stages of getting to know somebody even though in this culture we've normalized it to be that way.
Plus if I don't give you a name then I have the opportunity to earn one. Give me a name that you think I deserve and let it be what you honor me by instead! How about that? It's probably the only way I'll be comfortably perceived since some people will change my labels as they see fit regardless. Just call me what you like, I feel like my name/pronouns have been corrupted as is

its so funny when someone tries to exert authority over me and unless being uncooperative could literally kill me im just like. no. you think im going to reward this behavior? absolutely not. i am not reinforcing that shit. you dont get to talk to me like that. sit down and think about your attitude.
not to be all european speaking a language with formal and informal ways to address people, but I think one of the many evils of capitalism is making bosses and directors comfortable with being friendly and using informal with their employees who they talked to three times all in all and who are more than two ranks lower than them on the company's ladder
back in my grandpa's days it was workers who used informal towards their bosses because they had never used formal in their lives and it made their bosses uncomfortable, I think we should go back to that
