Russia had spent DECADES creating Maga.

the evolution of youtube lps makes me pretty sad. you used to watch moment to moment gameplay on the screen. you'd do everything together as a creator and audience, so there was a lot of mutual learning, goals, and advice. but now people will condense 200 hours of work into a single 30 minute blindingly fast summation of some dazzlingly over the top idea they had with editing that makes my teeth hurt. I miss sitting around watching "caving episodes" of hermitcraft or q&a building a farm together, farming and experimenting for fun... now it's always gotta be bigger and better and retention means doing almost every scrap of work off camera. it feels so detached and impersonal now. I just want to feel included yk

ugh coming across so much disappointment in how much content Wyll got isn't helping in making me wanna continue the run w him... I wanna smooch him but it's hard continuing when he doesn't get th content he deserves ):

For this he thanked them, but he had not a great deal to thank them for. In the nature of things they treated him with less consideration than he treated them.

De Los Santos is still pitching!!! He gave up 6 runs last inning, and Boone has chosen to let him pitch the 8th inning. Are you kidding me? I think this proves my suspicion that Aaron Boone is betting against the Yankees. I hope that he's winning a lot of money because he'll need the money because I don't think that he'll still be our manager next year. I hope that he is not. He's a very, very bad manager, and he's destroying my team. If Boone stays, I bet Soto leaves. This is absurd. De Los Santos just gave up another run. And he's still pitching. Really? Wow. Boone is an idiot 🙄 I guess it's time for another strongly worded email to the Yankees home office. I'm tired of writing them 😊

Der Tag heute fühlt sich an wie eine Woche.

… nicht wie drei Tage, nicht wie sechs.

Aufgewacht, viel Energie, mal kein Trott, sondern Wichtiges, Positives vorgehabt. Gleich gut telefonisch organisiert - sogar! Berufstrainer Tommi jedoch vom selben Stern wie Brand 🔥… und denselben Vornamen…

Dann Sprachnachricht von Sternin discipula

💥

Ihr Opa ist tot. 6 Stunden bei ihr, viel Freude, viel Katzenschwester, unser Austausch wie immer sehr positiv, aber auch für mich intensiv, Thema und Thema und Thema.

Dann kommt Schwesterlein rein, entspanntes süßes Miteinander der beiden, auch in kritischen Situationen… Ich erinnere mich an meine Schwesternschaft in diesem Alter und werde neidisch….

Just springt die Mama hinein in die Szene mit EIN6R.. Sofort steigt die Anspannung.

Es bleibt ein Ausdruck. Ich erzähle, dass wir eine Viertelstunde Kleo geschaut haben… Auf Ihre Reaktion war ich nicht gefasst: sie hält Fernsehen immer für Zeitvertreib. Die Kinder abstellen, ja, aber doch nicht bei St**la?!

Ich begreife, dass ihr Schwiegervater gestorben ist. Ich möchte ein Geschenk machen. Ich sage, ich glaube, einen Nerv bei ihr zu treffen mit diesem Buch. (Es heißt: „Frauen in der DDR“.) Ich möchte sagen: Ich sehe dich. (Tu‘s aber nicht.)

Doch sie antwortet mit Gegenvorschlägen. Als sie aufsteht, bin ich gekränkt.

Jetzt erkenne ich, dass ich dein Muster übernommen habe: Geschenke statt echte Konversation. 

Als ich dich später anrufe, lässt du dich stören, und lässt mich das spüren. Dein Satz

Das darf ich dir eigentlich gar nicht sagen.

Es schnürt mir die Kehle zu. Ich lege auf, fast sofort. 

Böser Gedanke: ich glaube, ich bin eine zu emotionale Person für meine Sternin...

Effectively Wild Episode 2277: The Most Demoralizing Offseasons

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the overwhelming listener response to their previous conversation about cover models for baseball video games, and Ben issues some “Bo Nos” in support of his previous Royals reporting. Then (18:19) they talk about the Rays signing Ha-Seong Kim, Roki Sasaki “prospect” rankings, a recent leaguewide run on relievers, trade-based brother breakups, Hal…

If I see one more naive white queer speaking over actual Chinese queers people and proclaiming xiaohongshu/rednote or even China in general is somehow a fucking wonderland incapable of violent bigotry I’m gonna explode

1) a lot of the queer related tags have suddenly become usable again after the great migration

2) the #le tag for lesbians literally comes from the #lesbian and #les tags being banned so to act

3) the welcome you’re receiving by chinese people isn’t what actual Chinese queers have experienced (we experience a bombardment of loud angry homophobes/transphobes every single fucking day) and every single Chinese queer I know has been ranting about this for days. Unfortunately a lot of people are hypocrites who are only nice to the guests in the house

4) not only is this rhetoric of don’t ask don’t tell being the main consensus in China FALSE (I don’t even want to get into the media’s suppression of hate crimes and how many queer activism accounts are being banned left and right), passive queerphobia is still FUCKING QUEERPHOBIA…

The audacity to come into OUR HOUSE and speak over us after 3 days of being pampered on this app just for being western is vile and so fucking demoralising because we’ve been yelling about our condition for so long and you guys would rather not miss out on social media brainrot than to actually apply some nuance for once… you guys wanted to distance from the sinophobic propaganda take of China being unequivocally evil so bad that you’ve swung to the other end

Friendly reminder that if you talk about how representation is important and how there's not enough diverse media, I implore you to seek out the media that already exists. And if you live in an area with a public library, go to see if they're available at your public library. And then go check them out.

As a librarian, it is demoralizing to see how low the circulation statistics are on lgbt+ books and books by BIPOC authors. I include them in displays and readers advisory, but people still don't check them out as much. Libraries only have a finite amount of resources, including space. We don't get a book then keep it forever. If not enough people check it out, we have to get rid of it to make room for more books. And when James Patterson Book #69 gets checked out 30 times in one year and cool, subversive Sci fi novel with a Black trans woman main character has never been checked out once, the librarian (me) has to make a hard decision.

If you're looking for something tangible and easy to do this pride month, look for lgbt+ books (there are millions of lists online that you can find. It's easier than it's ever been to find diverse books) and check them out from your library.

No time to read? Look for a short story or poetry anthology and just read as much as you have time for. Or just check out a book cus it looks interesting and read as much as you can. We have movies too.

As cool as it would be for me to just keep the books I want and get rid of the ones I don't, I have to listen to the community on matters of collection development. And the community tells me what books they want by checking them out and leaving the ones they don't want on the shelf.

If you think this doesn't apply to you because you live in a progressive area and obviously the books are being checked out, you're wrong. I once worked in a community with a large lgbt population. Those books were not getting checked out. If you want to tell me you live in a conservative area and your library doesn't have any diverse books, you are legally obligated to check the catalog before replying to this post. I currently work in a conservative community and we have lgbt+ and bipoc books. And if you still cannot find any, you are legally obligated to see if your library has a collection request form that patrons can fill out before replying to this post.

I'm fighting through the pain as it keeps getting louder I'm broken, faded like a withering flower But in the pouring rain, that's when I get stronger Push me off again

[frownyalfred]

here friend, I'll help you: when you realize the characterization isn't to your liking, go ahead and do me a favor -- scroll up to the top right of your screen and hit that big red X button. there, problem solved.

also don't bookmark it. I'm so freaking tired of having this conversation.

[scribz-ag24]

this is the only way i make sense of dusknoir's character in the main story, @softstarryblanket. he should be ashamed
