A Rainy Day - Kylian Mbappé

Today the weather in Paris was really rainy with thunder. Since you were young, you were never a really big fan of thunder, it always made you feel scared.

Kylian was downstairs, in the living room, playing Fifa 23 with Marquinhos and Neymar while you were upstairs, in the bedroom you share with Kylian, watching your favorite Netflix show/movie.

While watching your show/movie, you heard a big thunder coming from the outside which caused you to get scared. You quickly pulled the covers over your head, shaking from how scared you were.

You hadn't noticed Kylian had entered the room, when he saw you under the covers, shaking, his heart broke seeing you like that.

You felt two strong arms which belonged to Kylian, hugging you tightly while rubbing your back.

"Shh, ça va mon amour, je suis là" (Shh, it's okay my love, i'm here) He said, grabbing the piece of hair that had fallen in your face, putting them behind your ear.

"Tant que je suis là, rien ne blessera mon bébé" (As long as i'm here, nothing will hurt my baby) Kylian spoke once again, this time pulling you into a loving kiss.

"Je vous aime" (I love you) You said, happy to have Kylian in your life.

"Je t'aime aussi" (I love you too) Kylian said.

He pulled the covers over you both, hugging you tightly and rubbing your back. You soon fell asleep, hearing Kylian's heartbeat. You felt loved and protected.

Besties we gotta find something better to talk about during the tour break than football non-drama because otherwise we’re in for a world of hurt after December lol

can you recommend some women's football blogs to follow? i'm mostly into liga f and serie a, sometimes wls, but i'll take everything, just to fill my dash with more content about women's football

Hi! I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask this as I follow less than 30 blogs on here and not all of them are women's football blogs 😅 But these are the ones I follow that post football-specific content:

@glimmerofawesome (international football gifs + Chelsea gifs)

@aus-wnt

@nzfootballferns

@itawnt - probably the one most relevant to you

@rubes6 - mostly Barcelona stuff, so also relevant to you judging by your blog name

I've also just followed @nelove22 who posts about the Portugal WNT

There's also @gwnts and @nedwnt but I haven't seen them post in a while

Me in theory: A weekly release of episodes is way better. The binge watching model is ruining the way we experience television.

Me when I actually have to wait another week for the next episode: What the fuck. What the fuck is this injustice. Where the fuck is the next episode of my program.

did not have Kloppo kissing Torsten Lieberknecht's temple on my bingo card but it sure as hell fits the pre-season vibe

[monsterfactoryfanfic]

if I've learned anything from grad school it's to check your sources, and this has proven invaluable in the dozens of instances when I've had an MBA-type try to tell me something about finances or leadership. Case in point:

Firefox serves me clickbaity articles through Pocket, which is fine because I like Firefox. But sometimes an article makes me curious. I'm pretty anal about my finances, and I wondered if this article was, as I suspected, total horseshit, or could potentially benefit me and help me get my spending under control. So let's check the article in question.

It mostly seems like common sense. "...track expenses and income for at least a month before setting a budget...How much money do I have or earn? How much do I want to save?" Basic shit like that. But then I get to this section:

This sounds fucking made up to me. And thankfully, they've provided a source to their claim that "research has repeatedly shown" that writing things down changes behavior. First mistake. What research is this?

Forbes, naturally, my #1 source for absolute dogshit fart-sniffing financial schlock. Forbes is the type of website that guy from high school who constantly posts on linkedin trawls daily for little articles like this that make him feel better about refusing to pay for a decent package for his employees' healthcare (I'm from the United States, a barbaric, conflict-ridden country in the throes of civil unrest, so obsessed with violence that its warlords prioritize weapons over universal medical coverage. I digress). Forbes constantly posts shit like this, and I constantly spend my time at leadership seminars debunking poor consultants who get paid to read these claims credulously. Look at this highlighted text. Does it make sense to you that simply writing your financial goals down would result in a 10x increase in your income? Because if it does, let me make you an offer on this sick ass bridge.

Thankfully, Forbes also makes the mistake of citing their sources. Let's check to see where this hyperlink goes:

SidSavara. I've never heard of this site, but the About section tells me that Sid is "a technology leader who empowers teams to grow into their best selves. He is a life-long learner enjoys developing software, leading teams in delivering mission critical projects, playing guitar and watching football and basketball."

That doesn't mean anything. What are his LinkedIn credentials? With the caveat that anyone can lie on Linkedin, Mr. Savara appears to be a Software Engineer. Which is fine! I'm glad software engineers exist! But Sid's got nothing in his professional history which suggests he knows shit about finance. So I'm already pretty skeptical of his website, which is increasingly looking like a personal fart-huffing blog.

The article itself repeats the credulous claim made in the Forbes story earlier, but this time, provides no link for the 3% story. Mr. Savara is smarter than his colleages at Forbes, it's much wiser to just make shit up.

HOWEVER. I am not the first person to have followed this rabbit hole. Because at the very top of this article, there is a disclaimer.

Uh oh!

Sid's been called out before, and in the follow up to this article, he reveals the truth.

You can guess where this is going.

So to go back to the VERY beginning of this post, both Pocket/Good Housekeeping and Forbes failed to do even the most basic of research, taking the wild claim that writing down your budget may increase your income by 10x on good faith and the word of a(n admittedly honest about his shortcomings) software engineer.

Why did I spend 30 minutes to make a tumblr post about this? Mostly to show off how smart I am, but also to remind folks of just how flimsy any claim on the internet can be. Click those links, follow those sources, and when the sources stop linking, ask why.

[taylorswiftdebut]

and yes it's literally "just football" and i don't actually care that much but it's insane to see with every.single.person. that taylor dates there is a constant conversation about how "perfect" they are and how amazing they are for taylor and anyone who threatens that idea of perfect is the enemy but then we end up in situations like the jaylor breakup, like distancing ourselves from ICDIWABH where fan genuinely think they're helping by pampering these men and their image and see it as supporting taylor when it's not! it's just frankly mean girl behavior for no reason????? and what's worse! it's embarrassing if something does happen to unfortunately end the relationship because then people just look silly when they try calling her ex a "flop" when you are publicly now talking about how they're the greatest to ever be! it's silly!!!!!

Hii! I wanted to let you guys know that i have updated A Rainy Day and switched players, instead of Hakimi which was previously, i uptaded it to Marquinhos! The reason why i wanted to do that it was because the situation had been in my head and i felt really bad, plus alot of people started sending me asks, talking about the Hakimi situation and it made me feel even worse. I hope you guys like the new player that i added and for the second time, i will never repeat the same mistake again!
