Coworker: *Talks about riding the train*

Other coworker: You can ride the train for free if you know how.

Me: You can ride anything for free if you know how.

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

i just love how stepbro sukuna abuses the word 'sister / sis' with you for the sole purpose of making you feel more uncomfortable and guilty when you allow him to get too close to you. too friendly touches for a pair of siblings.

when finn and jake establish that they get their meat from meat man its logical to assume hes some sort of fantasy butcher until finn asks "do you think it hurts him when we take his meat?" revealing hes MADE of meat and they eat him. and it only gets WORSE when jake replies "i dont know i cant read his mind" implying he cant even voice whether or not hes in pain. but they still eat him.

i have a comment re: marta garcia moving away from single seaters.

I have seen some men online point out that it clearly shows F1 academy failed and will continue to fail because its first champion could not get to f1 and i wonder does every man that win an f4 level championship make it to f1? no, so why is marta the one singled out here?

besides, marta has been racing in single seaters for a while now, at least 6-7 years, so it's not like she stepped up from karting, won f1a and then flopped in freca. she's had a career and it may not have led to where she wanted but i guarantee not every man in endurance wanted to be an endurance driver at first and then discovered the passion for it when they were looking for other options to keep driving. because at the end of the day, most drivers want to drive in f1 but most drivers do not make it to the top or manage to have long lasting careers there. it's the principle of the thing.

and while i have some criticism to serve in the lap of f1 academy, i do think it may achieve one very important thing: put more girls on different categories. if marta garcia goes on to drive in idk, the european le mans series or abbi pulling ends up in rallycross in five years, chloe chambers does more hill climbing and doriane pin wins the 24hs of lemans, if we have more than two girls in any given f4 level championship, it would already do more than any other series has done for girls.

it has grassroots level of support with discover your drive and the girls in the cotfa championship, it aims to provide a seat in other series for the champion, it helps with getting sponsorships since they become more marketable the more they are seen, it gives superlicense points.

i think f1 academy is a good, albeit (very in some aspects) flawed series and we won't see the results of its work for a while. but i rather have f1 academy than nothing at all.

The thing about being fat is that you could be climbing a mountain everyday but if you're still fat people will be like "hmmm have you tried starving yourself?"

there's a short essay in the criterion edition of naked lunch written by burroughs about his collaboration with david cronenberg, and in it he mentions that cronenberg's script weaves in elements of queer also. i was curious how until lee's monologue from queer about coming to terms with his own queerness arose, and i think the comparison is so fascinating. it's just abundantly clear that queer's version is more earnest. where lee in naked lunch really sees his queerness as a burden, lee in queer is able to make light of the fact that it's a burden with a much deeper acceptance of himself. in his essay, burroughs also writes:

"For reasons best known to himself, David chose to treat 'Lee's' homosexuality as a somewhat unwelcome accident of circumstance and plot, rather than as an innate characteristic. Whether this is because of David's own heterosexuality, or his assessment of the realities of making and releasing a multimillion-dollar movie, or other factors, I cannot say. Probably, he simply did not, as an artist, find that aspect of 'Lee' to be significant to the story he wanted to tell in the film."

idk it's just got me thinking about the difference in 30 years and having a queer filmmaker at the helm of the project and all the ways it's possible to adapt a text into a movie, and how choices from actors and directors and an entire production crew have an outcome on the final product. this isn't to say that one is more progressive or better or anything like that. mostly just that they're both really awesome
