Travis Kelce Did a Feo

Travis Kelce did a feo (an ugly thing) right after the shooting at the parade. He went to a restaurant and continued his partying. He even took a picture with a police officer. Who cares that he was one of the first to react and give condolences to the shooting victims? His celebration was not stopped at all. In the meantime Patrick Mahomes with his wife visited he children wounded in the…

[transmutationisms]

i think you do a really impressive job balancing comprehensive/concise while referencing a lot of complex frameworks(contexts? schools of thought? lol idk what to call that. big brain ideas) but if you have any readings specifically on the institution of psychiatry topic that you would recommend/think are relevant, I'd be interested. it's absolutely not a conversation that's being had enough and I want to be able to articulate myself around it

yes i have readings >:)

first of all, the anti-psychiatry bibliography and resource guide is a great place to start getting oriented in this literature. it's split by sub-topic, and there are paragraphs interspersed throughout that give summaries of major thinkers' positions and short intros to key texts.

it's from 1979, though, so here are some recs from the last 4 decades:

liveblogging the aubreyad 1: Master & Commander

ok so. i'm going to liveblog my reread of the Patrick O'Brian Jack Aubrey series of books, in potentially more or less detail, because it's something to do and it's funny. Starting with book 1, Master & Commander, copyright date 1969, which I definitely first read in like 1991 when I was waaaaay too young to understand approximately half the references. There will be spoilers. There may or may not be an accurate representation of the entire contents of the series. We'll see how long I keep this up. I wish I could write it in the entertaining style of my Wee Precious Flower Prince Geralt Witcher 3 playthroughs of yore but those were written under 1) quarantine confinement, 2) incredible amounts of gin, 3) after collaborative sessions, and I just can't make that happen solo.

But I will do my poor, reduced, older and more sedate best. I promise that while these books are not quite as dramatically crack-addled as Witcher 3, they are weirder than you think, which is critical.

OK so. We start off swinging with the meet-ugly. In fair Port Mahon we lay our scene, in the year 1800 (or 1801?? we also start off swinging with never quite having the tiny details quite laid down), we meet our fair hero Jack Aubrey, a six-foot, well-built, yellow-haired lieutenant in the Royal Navy, a cheerful high-spirited cove who immediately pisses off the unpleasant little man sitting next to him at this chamber music concert by singing along to the music. Relatable reaction by the unpleasant little man, to be sure. Aubrey is having a bad time, though— he has not been promoted and he doesn’t have a ship so he has nothing to do but get in trouble, and his spirits are too low to get into a fight with the unpleasant little man, though he briefly considers it. We soon find out that the sole bright spot in Jack's life is that he's fucking his boss’s wife, which seems like a bad idea but who are we to judge. But lo! He gets back to the inn where he’s staying only to find a letter informing him that he has been promoted! He is now the master and commander of his very own ship, which we are informed is a sloop. Also throwing us into the deep end of Listen Baby It’s Just Vibes. The nautical language and technical shit comes fast and thick and if you just sort of roll with it you figure it out. Don’t Worry About It. There Will Be Context Clues.

Now that Jack is professionally fulfilled he is happy, and so the next morning when he happens to see his unpleasant little man from the previous night, he shows his true colors: he immediately bounds across the street and wholeheartedly, unreservedly apologizes for being a dipshit, like the golden retriever he really is at heart. The unpleasant little man is so shocked by this that he loses all his unpleasantness, has a really nice conversation with Jack, and immediately gets distracted by the sighting of a rare bird. Stephen Maturin is now successfully introduced, exactly as he means to go on as well. He is a physician, but his patient died and he's stuck without money to get home, literally sleeping rough because no one will answer his letters and he's out of cash. Jack meanwhile has a ship with no surgeon on it, and a vacancy, and they like one another, so it seems a simple solution. And so Stephen shall go to sea.

I suppose, really, that’s the genius of this series. The characters are round, complicated creatures, with obvious and consistent surface qualities but also equally consistent, apparently-contradictory, deeper qualities. Even minor characters sometimes possess this level of depth. Even the cartoony-awful little shit Harte (sometime captain, then admiral, the boss whose wife Jack has been fucking but in Jack's defense so is everybody else) has depths. Unpleasant depths, but he's got reasons and motivations and you do really believe in him; this pays off in book 8 in particular.

We meet Jack's first command, the Sophie, the loveliest tiniest little ship ever, staffed by a pack of utter weirdos. TOM PULLINGS makes his first appearance (he is my favorite supporting character throughout the series, so he will be capitalized henceforth) along with his delightful henchman (the other senior midshipman) Mowett who is James in his first and last appearances and most of the others but for some reason becomes William for a while in the middle, most notably in book 8, and has thus passed into the movie as William. Those are our master's mates, or senior midshipmen. In O'Brian's typical fashion we don't get really concrete physical descriptions of them in the normal sense, but instead get really evocative but nonspecific ones. TOM PULLINGS is "a big shy master's mate", elsewhere specified to be sort of gangly, long and thin, young, with a country accent and foremast-jack antecedents (i.e. started out as a regular sailor and was promoted, instead of the more normal approach where a family of means sends a son to sea as a midshipman), who absolutely blossoms under Jack Aubrey's leadership-by-enthusiastic-example, and we will see him through most of the rest of the series continuing on this trajectory with great competence and charming humbleness.

James Mowett gets a great introduction. He's had a few lines prior to this, mostly repetitively described as (and shown to be) cheerful and generally enthusiastic about things, running around and getting to be the one to fetch Stephen from the shore, and later we find out that he is a prolific writer of somewhat-terrible poetry, which we'll get plenty of excerpts of over the course of the series. But his first real description is:

“James Mowett was a tubular young man, getting on for twenty; he was dressed in old sailcoth trousers and a striped Guernsey shirt, a knitted garment that gave him very much the look of a caterpillar."

There are also the youngsters. Meet my beloved son William Babbington, a miniature midshipman of between eleven and thirteen who has every venereal disease and gets drunk a lot. He also cries and swears a whole lot, mostly while sober. I love him immoderately and we will see him in several more of the books. He never gets much taller or less obsessed with womanizing. Adolescence was hard in the Georgian era. (Yes, this is the Georgian era; the Victorian era does not begin for another thirty years.)

“'I suppose you grow used to living here,' [Stephen] observed, rising cautiously to his feet. 'At first it must seem a little confined.' 'Oh, sir,' said Mowett, 'think not meanly of this humble seat, Whence spring the guardians 'of the British fleet! Revere the sacred spot, however low, Which formed to martial acts an Hawke! An Howe !' 'Pay no attention to him, sir,' cried Babbington, anxiously. 'He means no disrespect, I do assure you, sir. It is only his disgusting way.”

Throughout this series, O'Brian so so so vividly shows and describes the many phases of awkwardness that young men go through especially in military settings. It's incredibly vivid; the breaking voices, the smells, the idiotic capers, the weeping, the complete lack of foresight, the incredible cruelty and also loyalty and bravery, the sheer adolescent enthusiasm coupled with shocking laziness.

We also get some insight into contemporary social mores through the introduction of Marshall, the sailing master (a warrant officer)-- 1) he's gay and 2) Jack Aubrey is extremely his type. Different people's different attitudes toward this unspool throughout various points of the book, but the critical point is that Jack Aubrey himself has absolutely zero gaydar and while he has heard the rumor about Marshall's tendencies, he doesn't care about that stuff, studiously avoids enforcing any of the regulations against it, and he absolutely never at any point relates this to himself, and never ever realizes why the man is so driven to excel at his job. Not even when an injury to his head and face gives Jack a horrible haircut and worse appearance, and Marshall is horrified and dispirited about it; Jack never twigs just what's amiss.

To be fair to Jack, many many many of the men aboard also respond to him in a similar, though crucially different, way. This is a common thing in this kind of cooped-up little setting; you have a guy who's in charge and gives you positive feedback and like, immediately you'll die for that guy, which is kind of how the military works because you may in fact have to literally die for that guy and it's easier if you're intrinsically motivated in some way. And Jack is very, very good at this in most cases, at taking the measure of the people under his command and getting them to respond to him.

(We can return to Mowett for an explicit example: “'You may light up the sloop, Mr Mowett, and show her our force: I don't want her to do anything foolish, such as firing a gun - perhaps hurting some of our people. Let me know when you have laid her aboard.' With this [Jack] retired, calling for a light and something hot to drink; and from his cabin he heard Mowett's voice, cracked and squeaking with the excitement of this prodigious command (he would happily have died for Jack), as under his orders the Sophie bore up and spread her wings.”)

Anyway so back to the plot summary: a very good side plot throughout is that the ship's first lieutenant, James Dillon, is an Irishman, and he and Stephen Maturin were both involved in the Irish rebellion in 1798. When they meet, James recognizes Stephen, and cautiously sounds him out about having met before, and Stephen very coolly replies we've never met but you must be thinking of my cousin who looks just like me but uglier, *so* ugly, he has the face of an informer, and everyone hates an informer and james is like Ah. You Are Absolutely Correct Sir We Have Never Met. This subplot develops into a delicious meditation on divided loyalties and the agony of staying true to oneself while doing what one must do. Highly recommended, A++. Begins to give us some insight into the various depths of Stephen, who doesn't understand tides or wind and hasn't the sense to come in out of the rain but has a deep and complicated history and identity and above all an incredible capacity for ruthlessness, absolutely none of which Jack understands.

Stephen and James in dialogue when they're finally in privacy enough to discuss it (Stephen is the first speaker, James the second):

“I speak only for myself, mind - it is my own truth alone - but man as part of a movement or a crowd is indifferent to me. He is inhuman. And I have nothing to do with nations, or nationalism. The only feelings I have -for what they are - are for men as individuals; my loyalties, such as they may be, are to private persons alone.'' "Patriotism will not do?'' "My dear creature, I have done with all debate. But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile." ''Yet you stopped Captain Aubrey playing Croppies Lie Down the other day.” "Oh, I am not consistent, of course; particularly in little things. Who is? He did not know the meaning of the tune, you know. He has never been in Ireland at all, and he was in the West Indies at the time of the rising. [...] But as for that song, I acted as I did partly because it is disagreeable to me to listen to it and partly because there were several Irish sailors within hearing, and not one of them an Orangeman; and it would be a pity to have them hate him when nothing in the manner of insult was within his mind's reach.”

uhhhhhhh but meanwhile: Jack Aubrey and the Sophies wreak havoc in the Mediterranean and make a lot of money and enemies, to the point that the local merchants band together to commission a fairly serious ship expressly to fuck them up. They meet this ship unsuspectingly, manage just in time to disguise themselves, and Stephen hails the ship and asks them in bad Spanish if they know anything about treating the plague, could they send a doctor over, could they spare any medicine. This scares them off and they go away. But now the Sophies know what this ship looks like and what armament it has. So the next time they meet it, they fight it, and so the tiny 14-gun Sophie with 82 men and boys aboard manages to capture the 32-gun Cacafuego with 319 men aboard, and it's very gallant and dashing and probably should not have worked, but it does.

And a little later, the Sophie accidentally meets a pair of very powerful French ships and gets taken in return despite doing some really heroic evasive manoevers.

The French are super nice to them, and we meet a French ship captain named Christy-Palliere who becomes a recurring character, who has English cousins and speaks great English and is both charming and nice, saying things like gather ye rose pods while ye may and being generally gallant. Until some even more powerful English ships heave into view, and the tables turn, but even then Christy-Palliere remains gallant and well-behaved.

We end the book with the court-martial. Any officer who loses his ship for any reason has to go before a court of sea captains to ascertain whether he did everything in his power to avoid losing his ship. So all the officers of the Sophie, including the midshipmen, including the surgeon, have to testify about this. (I feel like the other warrant officers should also have had to testify? but they weren't there and i'm not sure why. TOM PULLINGS is also not mentioned in the scene which he absolutely should be present for, so it's possible that they were just omitted for time.)

“They had each received an official notification the day before, and for some reason each had brought it with him, folded or rolled. After a while Babbington and Ricketts took to changing all the words they could into obscenities, secretly in a corner, while Mowett wrote and scratched out on the back of his, counting syllables on his fingers and silently mouthing. Lucock stared straight ahead of him into vacancy.”

Spoiler: the jury decides that there's not really anything more a 14-gun sloop could have done against two French ships of the line, so they exonerate Captain Aubrey for the loss of his sloop, and thus ends the book.

Holding On.

A/N: It's my first time writing Reader Autistic, if I got it wrong I do apologize.

Patrick Mahomes x Male Reader Autistic

Request - Patrick Mahones x male autistic reader who is a huge fan of Patrick but during a game he gets pushed around by fans and fun of and Patrick puts a stop to it. If you don't want to write it than I have an alternative

You went to see your boyfriend Patrick play football. You had a good time watching the game from the luxury suite and you took a few pictures. After the game, you waited for Patrick by the locker room, he took a while to come out. But when he saw you, he started to smile. Patrick wrapped his arms around you and gives you a strong hug.

“You played great,” You said.

“Thanks, babe. I'm starving” Patrick smiled.

He gave you a peck on the lips. You leave with Patrick, but there are fans by the exit. People are trying to get Patrick and his teammates’ attention and their autograph. The fans are very loud and you are feeling claustrophobic. The loud noise is bothering you and you cover your ears and you almost lost your balance. Your heart starts to race faster by the second. Patrick can see you are starting to feel scared.

“Everyone back up!” Patrick yelled.

But not everyone listened to what he said. But Patrick’s friend Travis started to tell the fans to back up. Then more security arrived and they made the fans back up and Patrick his arm around you for protection.

“Y/n, it will be okay,” Patrick said.

He helped you get in the car, Patrick starts to rub your back but you didn't let him touch you.

“You are safe now and it will be okay. We will get to the hotel and you will be able to feel calm” Patrick said.

In the hotel room, Patrick waits for you to say something. He doesn't want to pressure you to talk about what happened. Patrick orders room service and he gets the food you like the most.

“That... I hated what... What just happened” You said.

“Me too. I hate that you had to experience that. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. We could watch a movie” Patrick said.

You didn't know what to say next and you nod. Much later, after eating together then you cuddle with Patrick to watch a movie. You start to feel safe with him and he has his arm around you. You and Patrick fell asleep during the movie, but Patrick is holding you while sleeping.

✯ ✯ ✬ ✬

New Year... You are with your family getting ready to celebrate new year's eve. You are on your phone text and Patrick didn't text back.

“Is your boyfriend still coming?” Your dad asked.

“Not sure,” You said.

Your family knows that you are dating but doesn't know who it is. Everyone is having a good time and you are still waiting for Patrick to text you back. An hour later, someone knocked at the door and your father told you to open the door.

“You came. I thought you weren't coming” You said.

“I was on the phone with my manager. I got gifts for you and your family” Patrick smiled.

“That was sweet of you to do,” You said.

You smiled at him and he kissed you on the lips. Your family is surprised to meet him and your father is speechless. Patrick pass out the gifts that he got for everyone. You notice that he is getting along with everyone, some of your family members took selfies with him.

“It seems your family likes me” Patrick smiled.

“I was nervous about them meeting you,” You said.

“I'm still feeling nervous around them. I think they will like the gifts I got them. You should open the gift I got for you” Patrick smiled.

He gave you the gift and he watches you open the gift. You are speechless and you love the gift, Patrick bought you stuff of your favorite character. You hugged him and he kissed your cheek.

“I love it,” You said.

“Good to know” Patrick smiled.

During dinner, your family starts to ask questions about the relationship. Patrick would answer them and tell them how you met him. During dinner, Patrick put his hand on top of your hand. You like the feeling of it.

Now everyone is standing by the tv, and the countdown starts. You let Patrick hold your hand and everyone starts to count except for you. He hugged you and gave you a peck on the lips.

“Hope it's fine, I kissed you in front of your family,” Patrick said.

You just nod and he smiled at you. Patrick is affectionate with you but you try to be affectionate but you hesitate. Patrick understands sometimes you hesitate and he doesn't want you to feel pressured or to feel uncomfortable.

Later, you spend time with Patrick in your bedroom, but not for long. Your dad is a fan of Patrick, and he wanted to talk about football with your boyfriend.

[hourcat]

lol what happens when your last asker finds out not all them are wearing underwear and the reinforced diaper placket on the white pants is so they don’t show hole on the field?

In another NFL related ask, is Quarterback worth watching? Patrick Mahones’ wife seems like she has the potential to be annoying. Is it worth pushing through?

SO THEY DONT SHOW HOLE ON THE FIELD KAGSHSCSJRNSKDMDJSDK this should be the call to action for tumblr. watch american football. these men are frequently a little patch away from presenting on the turf

anyway honestly i enjoyed it enough to plow through it! mahomes' wife annoyed the shit out of me, as did mahomes himself, but it DID make me like kirk a little. and i liked marcus mariota too!!!!! tbh we're in training camp season so if you're looking for something to fill the 🏈 shaped hole in your heart, there's probably something closer to home for ya than this. but i didn't hate it, and i'll def watch season 2!

Late for St. Patrick's day, but lets celebrate my favorite Irish band of all time

The Pouges!

Took the name "Pouge Mahon" in 1982 - I didn't know it meant "kiss my ass" in Irish slang till my mom yelled at me for saying the band's name to my little brother. Changed it later under pressure from management.

"Fairytale of New York" (at least the edited version) is the most popular Irish song of the last fifty years.

Shane Macgowan has survived almost everything but nuclear winter - and will probably survive that. Not a saint by any measure just a hell of a frontman.

Although there plan did not come out, the name of the band remained. Alice in Chains is a take off on Alice in Wonderland with an S and M twist. Bee Gees: The Gibb brothers first had in mind the name The Rattlesnakes as a name of their band. Later they have come up with the idea of honoring the initials of both Brothers Gibb and their close friend and one of their first supports, DJ Bill Gates, who has nothing to do with the founder of Microsoft. Chumbawamba: apparently, one of the band members had a strange dream, in which he could not decide which public toilet door he should enter since the Men and Women signs were replaced with Chumba and Wamba signs.

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: 20 Panini Game Face NFL Football Cards.

Hello it's subway here been a while I'm like a whole other person and ik that in no way have I made it clear I'm a sports fan on this account but gimme a second here I wanna rant about football

I HATE PATRICK MAHOMES HES A BUST now let me explain

2016 was my favorite year in football and Julio Jones was and is my favorite player of all time I loved to tune into a falcons game especially against the Panthers who has went to the Superbowl last year and I saw Julio Jones absolutely destroy a defense he went off for 300 yards in that one game and the Panthers weren't a bad team of anything and defense wasn't bad this was the prime years of the legion of boom and Julio Jones was consistently showing off against these great defenses

But whenever I've tuned in to watch Patrick mahones absolutely show off against NFL defenses because he knows his teams offense is better than any defense in the league it just makes me upset because it's not because he's a crazy talented quarterback compared to the rest while he is an incredible athlete he's not like leagues ahead of the rest I think most quarterbacks would've done as good or better than mahomes for the rest 6 years if they had control of Andy reids chiefs

But idk if anyone else has noticed but nfl defenses have been getting better rapidly for the last 2 years and last year the chiefs were the worst they'd ever been with Patrick mahomes yes they still won the Superbowl but the 49ers were another offense heavy team so that doesn't really help this argument

And I believe the ravens, eagles, bills and teams with good rushing quarterbacks will thrive in this new defense heavy era of the NFL because most defenses are mostly man coverage but when your quarterback can handle getting around his man and the rest of the defensive line then what can the defense do they can't risk putting more people to cover the quarterback because they will just throw to the open receiver

And I believe the 2024-2025 NFL season will surprise people with Justin Fields taking Russel Wilson's spot on the Steelers and Lamar Jackson's ravens who did really well last year only getting better by adding Derrick Henry and speaking of which what's something common every good team had last year A GOOD RUNNING BACK the chiefs relied HEAVILY oh Isiah pichecho dolphins relied on raheem mostert the 49ers had McCaffrey the ravens didn't have a great running back last year but they had Lamar so they didn't really need it the cowboys had Tony pollard bills had james cook and you get the idea

I'm getting tired and loosing my train of thought what I'm trying to say is the NFL was better in 2016 that it ever was and ever will be and that Patrick mahomes reign over the NFL is coming to an end and I think the ravens will probably dominate for a while

you mention a lot that you write aubreyad fic, where could a totally hypothetical interested party find/read those?

There's only two so far, a prequel that my brain has forced me to write to explain how my trans!Stephen AU works, and the trans!Stephen AU itself! The first installment of the AU is complete(covering the rescue of Stephen from Mahon), and I'm working on the next(India and Diana and The Duel) right now!

A totally hypothetical interested party could find them here:
