I calculated my days of absence from the UK and if I were to submit my citizenship application next may I would exceed the limit due to having fucked off to Italy for 5 months during the covid lockdowns in 2020. which means I could apply in january 2026, provided I only spend 12 weeks out of the UK between now and then. which sounds like a lot but it isn't to me because I work from home and spending a few weeks with my family every now and then has been the only thing keeping me sane

the way the most recent pokemon games don't let you turn off the exp share or the affection mechanic bonuses is nothing short of maddening. i think they make great accessibility features If Only They Were Optional and the flavour text is cute, but i want to have a fun casual playthrough that's at least mildly challenging without having to make it a nuzlocke or something. i don't want to feed my starter bitter medicines to make her hate me :(

thoughts on bosa’s maga moment ?

oh im pissed

i aint suprised because ive known that nick is deeply in love with donald trump for years now, not to mention this lovely tweet:

he took it down after a very halfassed apology when the niners drafted him in 2019

i think what im mad about is the fact that none of this is surprising. that a ft. lauderdale raised white boy is a MAGA stan is not surprising. that he's too cowardly to defend his own decision to interrupt his teammates' moment is not surprising. that both the team and the nfl have done jack about it despite it literally violating league rules about political statements made in uniform is not surprising. of course nick is going to face zero consequences, from either the league officers or our own front office

contrasting that to the absolute villainization kaep received - not just from fox news watchers!! people here in the bay flamed him for kneeling. and the fact that he was so intentional about it, consulting a goddamn green beret veteran on how to respectfully protest against injustice while still honoring the flag. and the fact that his cause was in fact NOT political, but a plea for people to give a fuck about the countless black lives lost to unchecked police violence. and the fact that he stood by his decision, repeated his protest multiple times, stood firm in his conviction despite being raked over the coals by both national and local media.

and HE'S the one that's hated.

complete bullshit.

being the youngest person on my team by like 10 years sometimes is REALLY obvious because everyone is talking about home construction and high school kid sports and stuff and my weekly update is “I got a Razor scooter and some new glitter paint”

having enough awareness even with multiple holes in you to know that 1. someone obviously has it f*cking out for you and 2. the detective that just came into your house to arrest you for murder has no idea what your ex sugar baby just set him up with. i could never

I gotta be honest, T***** S**** signing on to rehab the fucking NFL via one of the notoriously unrepentantly racist teams in the league, at a time when pushback had finally, FINALLY, gotten THIS CLOSE to actually forcing teams to maybe change their names and reconsider the horrifically racist merch and imagery is actually fucking it for me like I am aware that people are sort of dead to these kinds of symbols due to overexposure but let me put it like this, imagine a colonizer team playing at the amusement park they've built on the site of a bombed out Palestinian hospital and their mascot is a caricature of a murdered Palestinian child. That's literally what this is. Fuck the Chiefs and sorry but: fuck your fave too. She is dancing on the site of a genocide while being silent about the one currently happening across the world, how is that better than any other billionaire this site wants to draw and quarter? Better PR?

finally getting paid by centrelink on halloween..... so as a late birthday gift, I bought myself bullshit jobs by david graeber like I've been meaning to for months..... or really the last year.... to quell the utter bitterness and numbness i felt all through my cadetship last year; and also during my job searching since late march this year.

like is my job or having a job actually worth anything???? am I ever gonna find anything I'm truly passionate about and interested in, to make into a career at all??? is every single fucking job that I apply for a fucking useless soul-sucking role with no real purpose??? why did the putdown in that cadetship job that "you're just back office admin staff, aren't you???? you're useless. where is my housing worker and what use are you telling me that I can't reach them????" hurt so fucking much as if I just wasn't supposed to be there???? (besides the point that that was how my boss basically and the rest of the team really treated me anyway.... which fucking sucked).... just I fucking hate working. and this book is good so far.

I’m fucking venting here bc I’m angry and don’t have anyone to talk to and I’m not sure if this is political correct or right or whatever but I’m fucking pissed - I’m a public school teacher who works in the inner city and this year alone there have been two shootings in my neighborhood involving students not dying school hours- and one student who went missing due to gang ties (they were found ALIVE a DAYS later) -

I’m fucking TIRED I’m FREAKED OUT and I’m ANGRY because I have to go into work tomorrow and I have to have that conversation with the kids during our SEL block because they will have questions and bc they are in middle school some will not know how to process it and will joke while others will be genuinely upset

and I feel nauseous thinking about the fact that my mother and four of my closest friends are all going through the same fucking shit as teachers at different schools right now- and my roommate who is trans- and unrelated to his identity is also kinda an asshole- has been shitting on me all night about how I’m not I’m danger like he is and how I don’t know his pain (and while I’m not making excuses I’m an openly gay teacher who works directly with the lgbt students and activly educated my kids on trans rights AND I work for a nonprofit organization that directly works to protect trans and queer rights and JUST LAST WEEK put out a video for our organization on antitrans laws - I’m not saying I fucking get what it’s like to be trans but Jesus fuck I’m fighting the fight for trans youth more than you are working at Whole Foods) why the FUCK are you quantifying suffering, why the FUCK are you lashing out at ME of all people, and why the fuck are you telling a public school teacher in inner city Boston that I have no idea what it’s like to be afraid- motherfucker I’m angry I’m sorry but why the fuck are you monopolizing suffering why do you think you have the right to talk to me this fucking way. I get you are scared but you work in Whole Foods in Massachusetts- the bluest state there is- )

there is no fucking cap on grief- sorry I’m upset at this as well but you saying it doesn’t directly effect me is just so fucking ignorant and suffering shouldn’t be quantifiable mf we are on the same fucking side why are you infighting right now (and I know this isn’t relevant and this is entirely unrelated to him being trans but god he is so fucking sexist- saying shit like I have no idea what it’s like to have my bodily autonomy at risk as if roe v wade didn’t get overturned THIS year???) sometimes it pisses me off like fucking sorry I’m being over emotional and overreacting to a school shooting as a fucking public school teacher GOD I should be allowed to be angry too in my own goddamn apartment-

you don’t get to sit on your high horse and say you suffer more than me and that I’m not allowed to be afraid ok I’m done I’m gonna go in tomorrow and make sure to hug my one openly trans kid extra hard bc I know they are suffering just like I know my roomate is suffering and needs a place to express his anger- I get I’m an easy target bc I’m a safe person to lash out at and I’m not telling anyone how to grieve and I know a lot of this is just knee jerk reaction to violence and anger- I just wish he wasn’t expressing it at the one fucking person who doesn’t deserve it, like fuck, the one thing people always say about public school teachers is that we have it TOO easy, especially the night after a school shooting

*Also fuck terfs and fuck anyone who is using a tragedy as an excuse to hate trans people*

If i get into baseball, which team would you recommend?

This is gonna sound bad but I don’t know. I don’t know what you’re looking for in a team either vibes wise or personnel wise. Team choice is something that can be completely arbitrary and at the same time, intensely personal depending on what you want out of your sports experience.

Genuinely, my recommendation if you don’t know where to start is look up whatever team is closest to where you live now or where you grew up. If that’s a minor league team, 100% you should be a fan of them, they’re fun and cheap to attend. Maybe also check out the major league affiliate so you know where all your good players are disappearing to, but there’s nothing wrong or bad about minor league baseball. If it’s a major league team, congrats, easy answer.

It’s “root root root for the home team” so figure out where home is and what makes you feel good. Location is an easy factor because one of the nice things about baseball is going to games. As someone who spent a lot of time in PNC Park last year for relatively cheap, baseball stadiums are a nice third location between work and home, especially in the summer when it’s nice to have a reason to be outside.

If you’re more drawn in by players or narrative, I suggest poking around news sites or highlights and seeing what pulls you in. Baseball twitter is pretty active but idk if baseball tumblr exists as a community outside of thirsting over Ohtani. I’m sure every team has at least someone blogging about them but that doesn’t mean there’s community the way pensblr is a community. Afaik there’s three of us here on pirates tumblr which is honestly fine since I can scratch the itch to talk about my boys offline.

Oh and you should check out Banana Ball on YouTube or TikTok. If MLB isn’t scratching your itch then Banana Ball is if the Harlem Globetrotters played baseball. Every game is 2 hours long max, they’ve got a bunch of fun rules to make baseball better, and they stream every game on YouTube. If you’re a fan of baseball you will enjoy banana ball. If baseball isn’t scratching the itch, give banana ball a try — they’re there to entertain on top of playing a game for children.
