yes there's nothing i love more than jacob's sincere care towards others and yes lou's AR clothes and second jet ski reveal is insane game changer plays, but vic is hands down the best game changer player of all time for being the one to understand and execute on the true intention of the game, which is to be as maliciously hostile and personally attack sam without a shred of fucking mercy

Game Changer S2: players unionize against the ridiculous challenges

Game Changer S7: players unionize against the ridiculous challenges and make you go to a therapy session before you can join their sick party in the parking lot

Diversity win! Vic Michaelis has stolen Sam’s wife

Easily one of the best game changer episodes hands down.

3 of the most talented performers on dropout given a year to really perfect their bullshit and create impressive jokes

trapping a standee of sam in a silver mine, FORMING A BOY BAND, getting a custom wrapped joker car, successful investing in the stock market? Voice mail musical, oh i just remembered not one but TWO SEEDOOS

So much cool stuff, incredibly dense episode, crazy amount of work done by everyone

“Hey Elaine I need you to give me a few of Sam’s prized possessions and the deed to your house. Also can we set up a camera in your kitchen?” - Vic Michaelis at some point last year

My car is getting serviced and this auto shop has a shop dog and he's ridiculous. Look at this guy. This is a grown ass man.

One of the most freeing things you can do as a Christian is start praying over EVERYTHING. And I don't mean "actually remember to pray over the important things that deserve divine attention" or something I mean the stupid stuff

"my videogame controller isn't working properly and it's messing up my game and it's really frustrating me, but I really wanted to play this right now" you have NO idea how often this actually works

"God I can't find my other shoe and I'm in a hurry, please help me find it" BOOM, found.

"I can't sleep because I'm getting myself worked up, give me peace." And it works. Consistently!

Yes we should treat God with reverence, but you misunderstand; he is our father, and our friend. Talk to him. Talk to him about anything and everything. He'll always hear it.

I love the early stages of getting into a new fandom or consuming a thought-provoking media where it's like. you HAVE thoughts. you have feelings about it, you have thoughts and ideas and concepts and topics. but the only way you can express any of that, currently, is through noises akin to a teakettle

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

Titan Takedown is a fun contrast to Dungeons and Dragons Queens, because D&DQ had newbies with an incredible sense of fantasy performance, which gave their roleplay scenes a leg up out of the gate, and TT has newbies with an incredible sense of physical performance, so they're very intuitive with combat right away. Like, what a fun way to demonstrate the strengths of both drag queens and wrestlers in their respective fields

thinking about how the “apartment with friends or/and partners” fantasy is a act of rebellion if you’ve experienced growing up in a place that doesn’t feel safe or like home, and how when you meet people who feel like home you want nothing more than for a place you live to feel like this

I'm not a hater but so much shit is stupid

i'll never be fully offline because online is where the awesome women thinkers from around the world congregate to share little details about their days and what they're interested in

Reminder to my fellow Christians:

The people that we reject for social/political/religious/class-related reasons are the people that Jesus is meeting at the well. Whoever you think is "other" than you is the person to whom Jesus is offering living water. Whoever you look upon with contempt or disdain is the person to whom Jesus is saying, "I who speak to you am He."
