#but a good couple of races

A decent race, especially compared to last year, but pushing so hard to get past Verschoor and the fastest lap seems to have fucked him over
#f2#formula 2#made it to the end of both races#and points in both#shouldve waited a few laps to change tyres#or been a bit more careful with them#but a good couple of races#and pretty clean overall for him#dennis hauger#hopefully its only up from here

Damn, I gotta watch indy car now???
(still holding out hope for a haas seat but if he'd preform better in indy car then I'd take it)
#its so confusing to look at#ive watched a couple races but never got into it#too many drivers 4 me personally#and it doesn't look as good as f1#hoping this isn't true but its better than nothing#id watch it for him#logan sargeant

i just remembered how many gold ships there are in JoJo like it truly does not get more wild. Every one hits in some wild offshoot bullseye
#John and Erina ok classic old time romance BUT WAIT THERE COMES THE DEVOTED BESTIE WITH A STEEL CHAIR FOR 70 YEARS#Caejose. Never-to-be rivals-to-lovers wartime brief summer romance. If it was a movie it would be POV memoirs#Avdol Polnareff the brave attempt at gay inclusion even tho either one of them had to die and they couldn't be main focus#Man I miss avpol. Anyway#Josuyasu the most disgustingly in love couple of all time in the series it's obnoxious. No notes#Vento Aureo the ones who stole the show it's Bruabba. What if the jobro..... Had their own tragically doomed jobro!#Jolyne and the weirdly wholesome polycule doomed to always find and bother each other in every universe. With love. Ugh that gets me NGL#What if a cowboy and an Italian cowboy races to find jesus together fuck it throw in a British dino and a nun make it a weirdsome#These r my thoughts. Good bye.

@ tennisblr i recommend reading this essay re: sportswashing
#two things:#1) it only references f1 bc it was written during/in response to discourse on this topic with regards to f1 races#but it applies to all sports and even not just sports; a good read regardless of the specific entertainment form#2) when trying to find this again i found that post by op on how they would maybe frame it differently a couple of years after writing it#so i decided to link that bc i think it matters#but yeah the essay is linked in the post#nico rambles

I've tried a couple of times to get my thoughts organized regarding white viewers commentary on how AMC's IWTV handles race, but I'll just simply say there's definitely a cynicism that is common in a lot of those analysis that is...bemusing.
#iwtv#amc iwtv#iwtv discourse#it's hard to describe#but it's half 'amc did the raceswap to get wokeness points so they have to beat audiences on the head with it every other minute'#and half 'oh they're just addressing race in the wrong way and it hurts the credibility of loustat as a couple'#i remember when maven in one of her reactions was like the show is making lestat a white savior#and literally all the black people (including me) in comments were like 'huh??'#I was also reading another recap that was generally really good and interesting esp about nola#but they thought Claudia calling Lestat massa#was the show handling race clumsily#which is just fascinating to me because wow folks really don't know why Claudia was doing that?#like that felt perfectly in character and spot on to me#first off she legitimately feels that way and we see her say that in the show#but at the same time it's also a point of attack that she can make without reprisal from lestat#lestat basically like disengages when she does it and it's funny to me ngl

2024 reads / storygraph
The Principle of Moments
start of a scifi space opera series
a teen girl in the far future where humans are oppressed learns she has a destiny & a lost sister and escapes
and a young time traveler who’s given up trying to find his father through time, and is about to settle in 1812 with the prince he loves, but is unwillingly thrust into the future
they both learn their fates are entangled by a prophecy, and have to race across the galaxy, followed by a galactic emperor and the legacy of heroes from an ancient religion
#The Principle of Moments#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#this started off pretty good - interesting characters and worldbuilding; easy to read#but it felt like a bit too much was going on and I kinda checked out from the last third and didn’t care anymore.#It felt very much like the plot was just happening to the characters and they didn’t have much effect on it all.#It’s very classic space opera chosen one story! it’s fun and ambitious! a lot of doctor who vibes -#but also like if you tried to fit the entirety of timelord lore into one or two episodes haha.#It also had a couple classic space opera pitfalls.. like how this evil alien race was described as looking evil (in various ways). hm.#I actually really loved the writing style of the excerpt snippets in the beginning and would have been keen for most of it to be like that.#but also probably with the book being shorter.#there’s humor thrown in there that was sometimes funny but also sometimes awkward.#The time travelers speak very modern (despite none of it being set in the present) which like - obviously anachronism is gonna be inherent#to time travelers but sometimes it felt awkward. or like.. the other characters didn’t comment on it?#There were a couple moments that felt like a tv script gag that just came across badly on the page#gay prince romance was cute but kinda was thrown in the deep end then it’s barely relevant for most of the story.#The whole london subplot felt unneccesary. The random romance subplot the girl gets felt out of nowhere.#anyway it's decent! just fell apart a bit and didn't live up to my expectations

if your driver is as good as say, max verstappen, i don't think you should pretend he was getting hindered by other people when he had a bad race. he's good enough that he doesn't need that condescension
#this isn't even about today#i saw someone do a run down of max's singapore performances#and they tried to blame hulk and carlos for his bad 2016 performance#and as someone who remembers that race incredibly well#that is straight up not true#he had a couple of bad races#it happens to everyone#he's good enough we don't need to pretend otherwise

Photo evidence of me "race directing" today
#pulled it off again#little diy multi-sport race#we had forty-something people participate#including a couple children and not including the dog who ran with the guy in the first picture#I know he's wearing the silly shoes but don't dunk on him he's a good dude#he's in my run club and married to a derby friend#(said derby friend is the one who invited me to Run Club)#Come to the party some people have called a “neat little homemade race” and others have called “the event of the summer”!#(people have said both these things lol)

So the one reason to go to Arkansas is to drive through a town named "Flippin," where everything sounds like a euphemism. Flippin Fire Dept. Flippin School. Flippin Police. Etc.
While that does sound charming, I don't know that justifies a trip to Arkansas
#when I was considering moving to georgia#a place I had not been yet#I was at this hole in the wall thai restaurant with a friend#and the tables were soooo close together#and there was a couple next to us#and the one boyfriend was just like hissing that he was NOT going to move to Arkansas#he didn't care HOW good his bf's job offer was#he was NOT GOING#he could get a job ANYWHERE ELSE#and while GA is not quite on the same level as Arkansas I was like gosh that is what i'm feeling right now#it's soooo far south#anyway I did move to GA and it was fine#although that feels disingenuous#I very rarely left the city and in the city I very rarely met anyone who was actually FROM GA#this one time I stopped for gas in what is apparently a small shitty town#and I'm white but apparently I was OBVIOUSLY not from around there#because there were like five old men sitting at the bar of the little gas station restaurant#who stopped talking when I walked in and just... watched me#as I bought a snack for the road and asked where the bathroom was#just silently disapprovingly watching this outsider... utilize a gas station#the girl working the register seemed apologetic#when i went back out to my car I could see all them watching me from the window#so I do think there are parts of GA that straight up suck#and had I been a different race I think my safety would have been in question that day#but Atlanta was fine for the most part#weirdly full of people from Chicago

I have one of those head colds that makes your brain work with all the raw processing power of a flip phone circa 2007.
#the good news is that dayquil takes care of the other symptoms#so my voice is at least passable for the show this weekend#we have a full dress rehearsal tonight so the understudies can do a full run#and I might get to do a couple lines (literally like 3) bc someone's out sick and I'm gonna volunteer to do her bit#(if you've seen the show-maybe one of you?- the woman who's out plays Flo so literally just 'off to the races!' x3 and 'close your eyes!')#update post rehearsal: it’s the OTHER Lauren who is out so no filling in for me!

I have a greyhound and one (absolutely insane) grey/wolfhound mix and I’ve always wondered if Borzoi have similar personalities to greyhounds? Obsessed with your dogs btw, love their curly little butts 😭😭😭
Their butts are obsessed with you too
I think greyhounds and borzoi probably have the most similar personalities in general within the sighthound family! With the caveat different lines and different individual dogs can vary greatly.
A general like of people but not pushy about it, eccentric and funny at home. Enjoy couches and chilling tf out. Do well in “packs” granted their personal space and boundaries are respected.
The biggest differences are gonna be size and hair! Oh and greyhounds are more fragile in skin and bone. Borzoi are a bit hardier in those regards (HOWEVER a borzoi whomst wasn’t grown out properly WILL have weaker bones and be more prone to breaks). I’d say these differences aren’t overly significant if you aren’t doing lure coursing/open field tho.
Greyhound peeps feel free to sound off ✌🏻
#dogblr#petblr#sighthound#ask#text post#I was very tempted by greyhounds when I didn’t have a yard for a baby zoi#but other life stuff came up before I could go that route#and when I had a space in my apartment Charlie worked out so here I am#I prefer long hair#and love giant dogs#so borzoi are it for me#but if you like the idea of a borzoi but aren’t there#greyhounds are great#they USED to be much much easier to get your hands on#but between the Florida racing ban and a couple prolific borzoi bybs….#if you’re willing to pay Ivanhoe like 3k you can get a borzoi anytime rofl#Ivanhoe is the most prolific but there are also bybs in CO and Texas#and plenty of random people doing one off litters#but you don’t know to know until you’re in the breed and community#the bybs are pretty good at looking like they aren’t byb#or checking off a lot of the internet’s good breeder boxes#when they don’t check off really any boxes of a good BORZOI breeder

Can any race become a Were-x? Like Vixets, Bluple, etc? Does it just depend on if they have transformation immunity (like Brook)?
Nearly any race can, yes. It is dependant on contaminating blood. Plant-based races, which have something a little different than what most races consider blood, cannot be turned, but otherwise it can affect anyone else.
A majority of the time, an immunity to transformation of any kind (were-xism, vampirism, etc.) is implicative of a pre-existing affliction. As in, a vampire is afflicted with vampirism, and as such cannot be afflicted with were-xism. But there are rare cases of people having natural immunity to supernatural afflictions, much like some people having natural immunity to certain illnesses, genetically.
#brambleramble#it really just happens to be that the afflicted characters are all human because well#i made them that way when i was like 13.#and back then i figured it too confusing to have a bizarre race that already has smth going on with them#and then slap on the fact that they're a werecat too lmao#now though? id do that shit no problem#theres a couple of bluple vampires at one point :3#there are some privileged places that have a magical equivalent of a vaccine to were-xism specifically#what type depends on the issue the area is facing the most#lauren actually has this magical vaccination-- for a lack of a better term-- against werecats#but it is definitely a thing that's like. You're either wealthy or really good with magic if you have this#in Lauren's case kinda sorta both AHDBDHDBD
