Tom in REMAINDER (2015) dir. Omer Fast

[0neir0z]

for all the tom sturridge enjoyers i need y'all to know im listening to the audiobook for remainder. (i have Thoughts about this film but that's another time ) it's already answering questions i had.. unfucking fortunately i think this is quite literally one of the most unenjoyable books to listen to. (and ive willingly listened to hugh dancy read by nightfall Several times.) like, i know im 3 chapters in but Why are they explaining the stock market rn. and it's so prescriptive... i see that Choice ik it's The Point and the way that the narrator understands things but Fuck it makes the pacing Horrible. at least when i read sweetbitter for jake lore that doesn't exist in canon the book was actually kinda cool.

please help me pay my kitties emergency vet bill!

ive never done this before but one of my cats just had to get an extremely sudden emergency procedure and i don't know what to do, my vet and i have reached out to a couple incredible programs here to help with the bill but one is less than half and the other hasn't replied back yet, i've already declined the blood work (CA$356) to lower the bill at the risk of possible underlying liver and kidney issues not being found but its still a monumental amount for us right now. i just feel so helpless

we had enough to pay the minimum deposit to get the procedure started in time thankfully, but we were already scraping by as it is and now we're in desperate need of funds to eat/pay rent/pay off any remainder of the bill. i am disabled without aid and have been unable to work/haven't worked since 2015 but am on track to hopefully start working pt this fall. i live with my mom who has 3-4 jobs including one seasonal job which needless to say is stressful and wearing her down. we unfortunately are stuck in the most expensive place to live in canada with the inability to save up to flee so the cycle is never ending.

this is Teddy, my typically very silly vocal happy boy who's not quite 2 yet, my comfort king, my little muffin who acts like a weighted blanket for me at night and eases my anxiety, his favourite toy is his pink unicorn poof, he loves car rides and he can shake paw!

he got a sudden urinary blockage last night with no straight answer as to why and progressively got worse as the night went on, i didnt sleep at all, i was panicking and bawling, naturally, and raced to the vet to get in as soon as the door opened. i assumed it was a uti which wouldn't have been as costly, but it turned out to be much more severe and life threatening. i never expected my usually extremely healthy boy to suddenly be at risk of that and im still trying to just process whats been happening

he needed to be sedated and given a catheter and some medication, the total bill came to CA$985.62, of which we were barely able to pay 500 of, and one program was able to donate 300 leaving a total of CA$185.62 for the bill. this, of course, leaves us scrambling for food and rent as well

i know there are a lot of fundraisers out there needing donations right now, and i really hate letting myself be so open and raw like this but even a dollar would help tremendously and i would be forever grateful for any help whatsoever, even a rb to signal boost is greatly appreciated <3

TLDR; my cat had a sudden life threatening issue and now we can't pay the full vet bill or pay for food/rent

I just hope these next 4 years go by fast

This election isn't just about the next four years. With Trump in the White House and a Republican Senate at his side, the MAGA movement can pick up where they left off when it comes to packing the federal judiciary with right-wing judges who will control the Supreme Court and appellate courts throughout the country potentially for the rest of the lives of everyone reading this right now. It's the perfect recipe for them to continue stripping reproductive rights away from women nationwide and gives them the opportunity to turn their attention to the other issues that they have been dying to attack, from voting rights to gay marriage and every other extension of personal freedom that has been won by minorities and marginalized people in hard-fought battles over the past 60 years. This is the nightmare scenario that people have been warning folks about for the past few elections. It's here. And there isn't going to be a way to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

The consequences of this election will have a direct, negative impact on your life -- possibly on the entire remainder of your life. This country just re-elected a President with authoritarian tendencies who is the willing puppet of a dangerous Christian nationalist movement that figured out exactly how to manipulate him (through flattery) for their aims. They have created the perfect vehicle for a genuine cult of personality that they can use to achieve the goals they have been very clear about striving for over the past few years. And you can't blame anybody other than the American voters because they not only elected Trump, but they gave him a fucking mandate, with a Republican Senate and potentially a Republican House. They already have a right-wing dominated Supreme Court for the next few decades, and now they are going to ensure that the entire federal judiciary is in their control for years to come. And don't forget the fact that a few months ago, the Supreme Court handed down a decision that gave Presidents sweeping immunity for a broad (and conveniently undefined) range of "official" acts, so Trump is going to go into this second term knowing that not only does he not have to deal with the "guardrails" of responsible adults he had around him in his first term (Mattis, Tillerson, Kelly, General Milley, etc), but he knows he can get away with virtually anything and everything that he wants to do this time around. If you thought that Trump's first term was bad, just understand that they are prepared this time and now he's surrounded himself with people who will do his bidding -- people who are perfectly willing to let Trump be Donald Trump.

I wish there was a reason to cry foul, lodge protests, and challenge the election's results. But this wasn't a rigged election. There isn't any confusion about what the voters really wanted. The American people did this. People you know and care about and who say they care about you are the people who did this. We need to recognize that these elections aren't outliers anymore. Trump's supporters aren't simply chaos agents who got lucky on a bad day for the Democrats. That's the country we live in now and we have to find a way to resist it that actually makes a difference because now they have the keys to all the doors and all of the alarm codes. This country has normalized the conspiracy theories and nativism and racism that has powered the MAGA movement since the moment Trump came down the elevator at Trump Tower in 2015. He's given those people permission to be open with their hatred towards people who aren't like them, and it's actually become surprising to see how many Americans have been eager to take advantage of that. I didn't think I had any misconceptions about this country before Donald Trump because I recognized this nation's history, but I clearly had some misconceptions about people I thought I knew until I saw them wearing a red MAGA hat or noticed they had a gigantic flag with Trump's name hanging where their U.S. flag used to hang. Once that happened, it was like a switch went off with them and they started saying things in ways that I'd never heard them speak. I feel like that's happened to the entire country. It breaks my heart and it pisses me off.

For the past few years, I've been warning everybody about how elections have consequences. I imagine that there are hundreds of posts on this blog with that phrase in all caps listed with the tags. Now the elections have happened, and we have to live with real fucking consequences. And we're going to pass these consequences on to other generations because this is the one that you can't get a do-over on. When you give a movement like this the power and the mandate that this country just gave them, there is no easily rolling back the things that they end up doing. They are going to fundamentally change the lives of people in this nation and especially change the way the younger generations of Americans live and love and learn for years to come. And you have people in your life who made that happen. It's another disgusting day in America -- a prelude to another reprehensible four years (at the very least) -- and I'm ashamed of tens of millions of my fellow Americans because this one is on them. They know exactly who the man is that they voted for, and now we know exactly who they are, too.

Okay I’m cackling listen. Listen. You know what wasn’t really on my bingo card for my personal, actual kinky life? Horny job interview roleplay. No I am NOT kidding ejfnejfkdnfjfjdbsjej

You all know I’m pretty kinky like, for real, in real life. And I may or may not have found a play partner here recently that I’ve been really getting along with and last night he reblogged something with “volunteers dm me your qualifications” and I of course was like “I volunteer and my qualifications are I’m me, sooooo…” and he came back with essentially “I’m gonna need you to elaborate because this is a very competitive position 🤔” and I was like “damn. Well, unfortunately the only thing my extremely tired brain can come up with right now is that I’m submissive and breedable. Does that work?” AND HIS RESPONSE fucking KILLED me he was just like “Nope, I gotta be completely unbiased. So, how long have you been interested in this kinky activity? And where do you see yourself in this field 5 years from now?”

I’m happy to report I aced the remainder of the interview this afternoon I did get the job 🫡 but the fact we were doing this and, like, we’re pretty casual right now, right, but I was like. How do I tell this guy about Max Phillips from the 2015 horror comedy Bloodsucking Bastards so he understands how deeply fucking hilarious this is to me without coming off like a complete maniac

Abbi Pulling did not know the motor sport career she is enjoying — and excelling in, as the first female British Formula 4 race winner — was even a possibility when she was growing up. She thought go-karts were the extent of her racing opportunities.

“I didn’t actually have a clue,” the 21-year-old from Spalding in Lincolnshire says. “I thought that was it. It was only when I was a bit older, matured a bit more, probably at 12 or 13, when I realised there’s more to motor sport than just go-karts and motorbikes.

“When I started winning championships — at 15 years old I won the British [karting] championship — that was when I was like, ‘Oh what’s the next thing I can do?’ I just wanted to do it forever.”

Pulling has had the racing bug since she was three, attending a paddock for the first time alongside her father, Andy, who raced motorbikes. She began her own racing journey in go-karting at eight years old.

The F4 British Championship is largely based in the United Kingdom, as the name suggests, but will race for the first time in the Netherlands in July. It features 22 drivers from eight teams. It is aimed as a stepping stone from karting and Pulling is one of the elder drivers on the grid. She is seventh in the overall standings, the highest-placed female driver (out of four). Lando Norris, the McLaren Formula 1 driver who won the most recent Grand Prix in Miami, won an F4 title in 2015.

Her back-to-back victories, first in the F1 Academy — the all-female series founded by Formula 1 — in Miami and then in F4 at Brands Hatch last weekend, came after her career was almost ended in September 2021. In an emotional post on Instagram, Pulling described being “absolutely heartbroken” to withdraw from the F4 championship due to a lack of funding.

[…]

“When I was previously in British F4 I was getting what I would say were fair results, beating the boys, getting podiums, then I ran out of funding, unfortunately,” she says. “That put things into perspective, a lot. I was even more grateful for any opportunities.

“I grew from it and I learnt from it. It was an absolutely awful feeling, to be honest, but then I got an opportunity in the W Series. I put it in perspective — If I were a guy, I wouldn’t have had that; it would have been the end of the line.

[…]

For Pulling, the focus is on balancing F1 Academy and F4 for the remainder of the season.

“Any driver in my position wants to say that they want to go to Formula 1, but I’m not keeping my options closed,” she says. “I want to take any opportunities. The prize for winning F1 Academy is a funded seat for 2025 so that is obviously what I’ll be aiming for.”

I'm curious (read invested) do you have a time line in mind for the strollonso au? Like when they met, got engaged, got married

In my pookie au, which I set most of my edits into, it goes something like this.... THIS IS GONNA BE LONG OH LORD, I have a whole thing formulated in my brain and writing is down is gonna be a struggle

2014-2015 They met for the first time very briefly as Fernando was visiting the Ferrari Academy drivers at Prema. Note that Lance is a massive Fernando fan since he was a kid, so this was like meeting his hero. Nando immediately forgot about this meeting as it was just a promotional thing, very sad :(

2017 Lance debuts in F1 at Williams, he's about 19yo and still a massive Nando fan but they rarely interact with each other (see, 'shy canadian rookie'). Sure, they talk every now and then, but no sparks yet...

2018 This is where it starts to get interesting. Nando is struggling (and when I say struggling I mean STRUGGLING) at McLaren and his interest starts to waver which leads to his little fixation on Lance. It started out pretty tame and harmless with Nando writing little notes/letters to him and hiding them around the Williams garage (no one knows how he did it without getting caught) and Lance's belongings. He gets more invested in this than driving the McLaren GP2 engine shitbox.

Eventually Nando gathers up enough courage to ask the 20 year old man out. To his absolute horror and shock, the kid says "yeah, sure" and that's how they began dating. For the remainder of 2018, they keep it strictly to themselves, not telling anyone in case their relationship gets leaked. Lots of hotel room slumber parties, discreet dinner dates and traveling in the same planes between races.

Fun little side story I got is that in 2018, Lance, Fernando and Lando took part as team LANCELANDONANDO (hilarious, I know) in the 24h of Daytona ✨ They finished like... 50th, but it was a big deal since Lando was a tiny little baby boy and Nando was a bit of a mentor to him. (see, 'nando never got kids of his own but really wants to be a father figure)

2019-2020 Nando decides to "retire" from F1 after losing all his ambition to drive because of McLaren draining the life force out of him. Now that Nando isn't in F1, they can make their relationship public since the conflict of interest is no longer an issue.

2019 is a rather dark time for Lance, as the media rips him to shreds for 1) dating a man, 2) being almost 20 years younger AND 3) the person he's dating just happens to be Fernando Alonso. He's called every name under the sun, constantly ridiculed and the fans pretty much turn against him. He tries to avoid all the drama by becoming more closed in and even more shy around people.

Fernando, on the other hand, is off doing indy and endurance racing. He's pretty outspoken about their relationship and does his best to gain respect for Lance, always praising him and telling nice things about him. This starts to work after a while as the media starts to forget about the whole thing.

Nando would visit the F1 grid from time to time and Lance would be at his indy races. Eventually it became normal to see them together and act like a couple and the fans started to support them, so the media did a complete 180°. Now it was a race to get the best Strollonso story in the papers...

During this time also, Lance starts to visit Fernando's karting school a lot more and after a while becomes a key part in its operation. He would volunteer as a race director for the kids' tournaments, pop in as a guest coach or just help around with whatever they were doing. He would become a bit of a celebrity in that community of young drivers and really like spending time there.

2021 Surprise! Fernando gets bored of the other stuff and unretires himself to come back into F1 with Alpine! Before this Lance, Nando, Alpine and Aston Martin have a proper sit-down with FIA to figure out how they can allow Nando back in without the risk of sharing team secrets. A couple rule changes, some NDA's and contracts later, it's settled and F1 gets its most popular Spaniard (sorry Carlos) back on track. Everyone celebrates!

Turns out Nando is on a revenge mission this time. All that pent up McLaren resentment is poured right into Alpine and he becomes the villain of F1, which the fans kinda like. Outside the track, he and Lance live their best comfy life, getting a couple houses together, traveling and expanding their family with a doggy, Nyla! 🥰

2022 Alpine is in shambles. Estie Bestie is threatening to strangle his best friend's boyfriend on a daily basis. Lance suggests, just as a joke, that Fernando should come to Aston as he knew Sebastian was about to retire and they hadn't found a replacement for next season. Fernando doesn't take it as a joke. So, Nando calls up Lance's dad and he agrees immediately to take the Spaniard in.

Fast forward to the end of the season, Alpine gets a couple more big L's, and finally Nando can leave that sinking ship to walk right into Aston Martin's motorhome as soon as he drops out the last race. Fans rejoice, as Strollonso is now in the same team, media is fired up from the potential content and FIA can have a breather now that company secrets are no longer at risk.

2023 Working in the same team turns out to be the best choice they ever made. The team spirit is at an all time high, everyone is enjoying working together and the fans absolutely love them. Nando's tiktok influencer career also helps tremendously and people follow their social medias like it's Friends in 1996.

Nando decides before the summer break that it's now or never and proposes to Lance. To his absolute horror and shock, the 25 year old says "yeah, sure" and they get engaged. Everyone expects a big and glamorous wedding, but turns out they have a small civil ceremony during the break with just family and close friends, away from the limelight. It's a cute and intimate wedding party in Tuscany that only gets out as Lance posts a few pictures from it. Fans rejoice once again! Future's looking all bright and rosy for them <3 And speaking of rosy... They got another fur child! Rósa was Lance's 25th birthday present 🥰

2024.... We'll see ✨

Genuine question, is the whole "media that tells you to forgive your parents when they are full on irredeemable assholes" really that widespread a thing? I genuinely can't think of anything outside of maybe a few movies from the 80s or something.

Maybe I just haven't been paying attention to the parts of pop culture where this happens but it seems to me like the cultural pendulum has been firmly on the "either violent revenge or something comedically humiliating happens to them" side of things for the last decade at least.

So not quite the same but I literally just finished a book from 2022 which has a pretty central emotional beat that the revered family matriarch who basically cast the newborn protagonist and her mom out in the gutter actually had the very best of intentions and was so very torn up about it but it was the only way things could turn out well (and was 100% right), with the happy ending at the end very much involving reconnecting and being welcomed back into the family.

The post was actually directly inspired by talking about Killjoys (2015-19) with someone though, where the heroine's abusive father figure who basically trained and indoctrinated her as child soldier/cult assassin spends most of the first season as a villain and the remainder of his screentime being redeemed as only having ever wanted the best and needing to prepare her for the trials to come, before making a heroic sacrifice to save her life.

I guess you already know what I'm gonna say so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ long hair older Nigel Colbie

Who did this??? I mean, it's WAY better photoshopping than I am capable of, but it's so weirrrrrd because I know what he actually looks like in these screenshots.

I don't think I realized that I need to see him with hair this length! Third one is my favorite, I think. I still prefer his actual hair in this movie, though, because it's part of what makes him look like older Nigel to me.

BEARS ROLL PAST BYU 48-17

Cal Shuts Out BYU In Second Half To Claim Road Victory

PROVO, Utah – California rugby put on a dominant performance at Brigham Young yesterday afternoon in Provo, Utah, shutting out the Cougars in the second half and notching seven tries and one penalty kick to claim the road victory. Sophomore Emmett Cook led the Golden Bears in scoring with a hat trick and Cal's second-half defense was stout, scrumming well and holding up the Cougars on the goal-line to post a clean sheet in the final 40 minutes.   Cal suffered from a 12-point deficit through the first 19 minutes of the contest, with BYU lighting up the scoreboard first in the 13th minute with a converted try off a breakaway run. The Cougars dotted down their second try of the day four minutes later as they won a foot race down the left wing, but failed to add the extras.   In the 19th minute, senior Tom Dixon burst through a gap with the ball and carried it well into BYU territory. Dixon offloaded it to junior Solomon Williams in support, who sped past the final Cougar defender to put the Bears' first points on the board.   A solid Bear scrum six minutes later set up Cal's next scoring possession. Williams sent the ball from the back of the scrum out to junior Michál de Beer who muscled his way past the goal-line for a try while carrying a defender on his back. Junior Rand Santos, who returned to Cal's lineup after being out with injury, added the extras to level the score.   It only took four minutes for Cal's backline to produce a couple of good phases and work back into scoring territory. Some lofty ball handling from Cook and sophomore Quinn Spieker on the right wing set up Cook's first try of the day, and Santos converted to give the Bears a lead they wouldn't relinquish for the remainder of the contest.   BYU got its final points off a well-placed kick that allowed a Cougar to dive into the tryzone and tap it down. They failed to convert the try and it was 19-17 in favor of Cal at the break.   Santos sent a penalty kick through the posts to add three more points to the scoreline seven minutes into the second period. Cook then scored back-to-back tries within five minutes, first by intercepting BYU's attempt to chip it forward and turning on the jets to carry it into the tryzone from 50 meters out. Cook notched his third thanks to an excellent line run by freshman Masi Koi who was able to offload it into Cook's arms.   Cal's forwards took a turn at lighting up the scoreboard next, pick-and-jamming at the goal-line for a few phases before senior Charlie Walsh, who today played in his 40th match, put some muscle behind fellow senior Dom Paga who pushed in the score next to the posts. After the restart, sophomore Bryan Bogne came off the bench and provided an immediate impact, touching down the Bears' final try of the day at minute 64. BYU threatened Bear territory, but Cal defended well and held the Cougars up on the goal-line to deny them the points and clinch the victory.   Cal will return to Berkeley for a contest with Army on Saturday at 1 p.m. PT. The Bears will host their annual Homecoming/National Champions reunion, celebrating the national 15s championship teams of 1980, 1985, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and the 2015 national sevens champions. Tickets can be purchased in advance here.
