So many women helped me in my twenties and I believe in strong intergenerational friendships. I am a proud work mom to several young ladies. But y'all...
Lord this lil girl just called me at 2am. Her boyfriend wrecked his truck while speeding and losing control. The side she usually sits on was crushed. She wasn't in the car but it scared the hell out of her because I'd just spoken to her about her speeding tickets and Sage driving.
She builds trucks from the ground up so she's a fan of pushing her vehicles. But being an automotive enthusiast and dating someone who is a careless driver doesn't mean you get to risk your and everyone else's lives too. "You're not invincible, you're 22" etc etc.
So yeah, his young ass almost died on a Saturday night and she's a bit shaken up. She called me saying she was gonna stop speeding and that I was right. She spoke about how scary it all was, seeing him in the hospital even though he's fine. His whole family was there at 1am. I told her if I'm just her friend and even I answered my phone in a panic, can you imagine his mother? That's her child.
And seriously, getting her call made me realize I made the right choice to not have kids because that 2am call...honey. My heart fell in my ass. I'm just a work mom. I'm supposed to be paying for lunch, giving Sephora gift cards and maybe taking you to the airport.

come on look at her results Bianca's results were nothing, are nothing. So many are beating her,
for me, she's a solid midfield driver and still growing, and i wouldn't call someone who won two races with a result of 'nothing', considering that not every driver in f1 academy got on the podium this season. not every driver can hit the ground speeding off 20 seconds ahead of everyone else, several drivers take awhile to really show what they're made of. i just think because bianca is really young in terms of driving experience (only her second year in a formula type car), that she's just tightening up all her errors and making strides to be more consistent, just like yuki has been doing these past few years. i'm processing this with a few grains of salt, though, since i know that the f1 aca cars should all be the same and it's not like i have to factor in whether or not the car itself is shit, but since we know the cars should be equal, i consider bianca a young midfield driver who should focus on becoming more consistent next year
i'm not defending her, i think she should just log off and really reflect on it before making an actual apology and then either making herself less online or get a PR team because this is an absolute disaster. i just think that her results speak for themselves, and i don't divorce driver's results from them as a person (i don't like max as a person, but i'm not going to deny the results in front of me no matter how much i dislike him)
it's just reminding me of how lewis in 2017 (linked is an article discussing lewis post all that) posted a video of him making fun of his nephew for wearing a dress, rightfully got backlash, and he deleted his twitter to take time to learn how this behavior can be harmful before coming back to be committed to fighting for trans people. maybe bianca can do what lewis did, or she'll go the way of daniel ricciardo (cw for misogyny) or n*lson peekay in which she doesn't learn.
