Five Potential Replacements For Ben Foster At Wrexham
Earlier today Wrexham AFC announced the retirement of goalkeeper Ben Foster… The ex-England international had only came out of retirement in March, but has now supposedly hung up his gloves for good. Foster would appear in each of the Red Dragons last eight National League games last season and played a huge part in the run in to their title-winning season. The goalkeeper will be best…

watched conclave last night and then read the wikipedia entry for the book and now I'm wondering about the category ten shitstorm that a publicly intersex pope would cause
#bolo liveblogs#conclave spoilers#bc the movie kind of dodged the issue but the book apparently treats the discovery of benitez's intersex status#as inevitable it's just a question of whether it'll be pre- or post-mortem#and how it'd affect his papacy bc.#while I resent tumblr's overwhelming tendency to bring characters we like in line with our political views#(it feels like the easy way out/unsatisfying to me)#(like yes benitez is a liberal catholic but he is still *a catholic clergyman* let's be real)#benitez can't espouse that having a uterus disqualifies anyone from being a man etc. like categorically he can't do that#I don't think he has a ''you can be whatever you want to be'' view on gender or anything#but I think he's reckoned with sex and gender as social constructs in a more critical way than his peers have#and in a way he's certainly got higher personal stakes for.#but at the same time you knowwwwwww tradcaths would be heinous about it#''CLEARLY you only think women should have a bigger role in the church because---''#idk I have a disease that makes me imagine the squabbling cultural fallout of all hypothetical political situations in fiction

it is kinda crazy that what we think happens is "trans women get viewed as predatory men" meanwhile we live in the "predatory men rule the world there is a rapist that's president of the most powerful and evil country on the planet" universe like wtf, if i was a predatory man id get a medal, im seen as a predatory trans woman Thats what people view as the most horrible thing
#sorry had thoughts in my tags and wanted to properly verbalize stuff#cuz it's rly frustrating#benefiting from the patriarchy is what permits predation in men#trans women don't benefit from it so our perceived predation gets viewed as a more genuine threat#but transmisogynist feminists managed to screw up so badly they put us in the same category as cis men#to justify their bigotry as fighting the patriarchy#even tho by attacking us they are supporting it

a frustrating thing about battle royale stories is that they take place in a world where there's a massive popular appetite to see torture and death, the existence of this appetite is the main moral evil of the story (so far so fine), and the author tends to pretend this is also a huge problem in our world so that their work can stand as a Commentary On Real Evil. when the world their actual readership lives in has the opposite problem – too squeamish about seeing torture and death and coercion and collectively agrees to sequester it out of view so that nice things can keep being available for under five dollars at the grocery store
#rambl#i did it! i put a 5 paragraph essay in drafts and boiled it down into 1 paragraph on my second try!#anyway. i followed up the gorey litrpg series with a nonfiction book by a james c scott student who worked at slaughterhouses#and man did that book help immediately crystallize my vague moral discomfort with the litrpg series.#I love fictional gore and torture. I *do not love* real life gore and torture. that the latter preference is widely shared is evident#in how hard the meat industry tries to abstract it out of view & make filming illegal & hide the killing *even from slaughterhouse workers*#(it's divided up so people have minimal visibility/responsibility)#imo this is not a feature of our moral universe you should ignore or signflip if you want to write about good and evil and capitalism!

(good future) Finding Home Pride edition <3
Trans Leo pride is something I see a lot, but personally, FH Leo wouldn't celebrate his gender. He grew up around Gali, who went through a lot of gender struggles, especially in his younger years, and with the brothers being so accepting, it's just another part of his life
But his lack of romantic attraction? That's something that stands out to him. He sees the brothers with their own attractions and crushes and such and realizes he stands out. He's different. But that's okay because he's still him and he's still valid
anyways~ it's pride month, which means i get to be even more annoying about aro pride ^-^
that final shot without text:
#sad•leonart#rottmnt#rise of the tmnt#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rottmnt leonardo#rise leonardo#finding home au#aromantic#aromantism#aro pride#featuring future fh designs to give me more motivation to sketch the next update#might do something for agender pride later#gender is hard a system and we think its a fitting label for our system rather than just wren#cuz 'bana isnt a demiboy#but its a good flag so we usually just use that#although fh probably settles more on a demiboy label#he doesn think much of gender#but he prefers when people view him as something mroe masculine#<- a little bit of big mama trauma in that decision#as a treat <3#shoutout to csp for currupting this whole file when my laptop crashed#and recovering it yeeted a lot of progress#but hey#its done now :D#and i do like how it turned out#even if a few scars are missing but im tired and dont have the energy to fix it rn#tag wall oops#if you read this far down.. hello :D

Legislative agenda:
Limit car headlight brightness to an amount recommended by eye doctors and traffic safety experts
Replace all prison lights with light posts that have caps
Cap all stadium lighting
Replace all public streetlights with warm colored lights
Limit brightness of all outdoor LED's (likely to a similar amount of lumens as the car headlights were limited to)
Create biannual event where city owned lights, including streetlights, and all businesses over 50 employees MUST turn their lights off for a dark sky night
maybe: Require all unoccupied parking lots turn off their lights 10PM-5AM
Proposed benefits:
Tourism
Education
Boost interest in the sciences and arts
Mental health
Physical health (eye disorders and reduction of sleep disorders)
Increased productivity of workers due to reduction of sleep disorders
The human experience
Eco friendly (Benefits animals)
Eco friendly (saves energy)
Cons:
Criminals target dark parking lots
Rebuttal:
Criminals can't target dark parking lots if they're all equally dark
#one of these days I'm going to actually do something#im afraid of getting laughed at#they all laughed at me on the town facebook group#ok the post didnt get that many views#but it was a reaponse like we're a city now what do you expect#like um....???#every place is a city now#you cant just run away from this shit anymore#its almost impossible anymore#we have to stand here and face our problems

Although still contracted to Harrogate Town until the summer of 2025, it is becoming increasingly likely that Luke Armstrong will be departing the EnviroVent Stadium this summer. Armstrong was left out of the squad for Harrogate’s season opener against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday, however it had been announced prior to the match that this was done under his own accord. The news came as…

Major Monogram from Phineas and Ferb is a fascinating accidental example of unjust biases stemming from ignorance and laziness instead of intentional harm in the ‘species-ism’ that is a root of injustice in the PnF universe. In this essay I will
#okay but like actually#he treats a lot of the agents shitty#especially early on#because he considers himself to be a ‘higher species’#“What is this- pick on the higher species day?#(quote from the hr scene in La-candance-cabra#and even as employees he treats them poorly#but it’s literally just because he’s terrible at his job#mans wanted to be an acrobat#he’s not qualified to learn how to manage a bunch of animals with sentience and bank accounts#or at least#he doesn’t think he is#so he doesn’t try#for most of the snow#he just kinda sits around and complains about his job#but we know he experiences character development at some point in the future#because he goes bowling with Perry and Doof#suggesting he views Perry as an equal#so we know he’s capable of it#just in the future#but in present moment he’s simply refusing to educate himself#and idk I just think it’s a fascinating example of how ignorance can be harmful#and why we should try our best to learn about others differences#phineas and ferb#perry the platypus#agent p#owca#major monogram
