unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

Starting to realise two people I know might be in one of the fakest relationships ever. The biggest clue - neither follows the others pet project accounts and one has only liked one thing of the others personal work (the world's naffest poem which feels like it was written by a teenager, not a person in their 20s). I show my friends more love and pride on social media than this.

F1 / FE: every team has exactly two cars. they look exactly the same except for that lil thingie on top which is one of two colours and we draw sticks every season who gets the colour. we make rules about personalised helmets. individualism is bad. confirm to the norm

Indycar: how many cars does a team have? we don't know. could be 1. could be 2. could be 3. it depends. could also change per race. there are 4 orange cars. 3 are in the same team. one is in actually teammates with the yellow and the green car. not that green car the other one. this will not confuse anyone ever

Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts

If Sebastian Vettel came back to F1 I think my mental health would exponentially improve. Like I actually might start to feel joy again.

april fools day is actually the most sensible day of the year because it's the only day on which people will read something on the internet and stop for a second to consider whether or not it's actually true

Just documenting this here - but two things posted in 24 hours after months of silence the day after I post a photo with my significant other? Significant.

Two of those posts directly referencing 1. A conversation we literally had two days previously and 2. An inside joke we have as a team which you use to refer to that person who is not in on the joke? My man that is so fricking devious yet so fricking obvious.

You know when someone just does something and you're like well well well. That's clearly aimed at me and is clearly a dig and something you want a reaction to. Also not exactly a nice second part to the thing, definitely not painting the other person in quite the best light.

Sat here, minding my own business knackered af after a poor night's sleep when I get hit on the photo sharing site with a literal reference to a conversation I had with someone mere days ago, over a fake looking photo of them with someone. A day after I post a picture with my someone.

I haven't believed in coincidences for a while now but this most definitely feels premeditated.

It has not escaped me that our guest today is trying emulate my beloved Patrick Stump. I am surrounded by absolute fucking weirdos.

Is anyone else getting fed up with the various F1 and F1-related social media content which is upside down? We get it, the race is in Australia.

Maybe I just find it lazy being a content manager myself but its got tired after a day for me.

“allegations ruin men’s lives” idk man, i think christian horner is handling it well enough, he’s still got his job, his reputation, the backing of his equally disgusting team who are confident he’ll ‘bounce back’ as well as half of the drivers on the grid who are spineless cunts and dismissing a literal sexual harassment case but sure, allegations ruined his life

So I've seen the trend on TikTok of seemingly very angry goth girls attempting to be pissed that Korn is considered "girly pop" and that people enjoying alternative music are seemingly not worthy of it because they weren't bullied or beat up when they were younger for being "alternative". What a load of shit.

Firstly, why are you being so judgy and gatekeeping of our music, fashion and lifestyle? Metal, rock whatever alternative genre someone likes is FOR EVERYONE. You don't need to have some badge of honour to be legit to be welcomed into this community - just love our music and fashion and don't be a dick.

Secondly, do some of these people realise they are as bad as the bullies they refer to? The videos I've seen have all largely been the type of goth who were the people who made me feel unwelcome in the scene as a teenager. I couldn't afford to go full goth, my parents stopped me at every turn being "different" and the comments from people within the scene were so patronising and horrible that it is one of the things which stopped me dressing properly alternative for years. The mean girl goth energy can be very strong, and not in a dom kinda way. I imagine these are also some of the people who got pissed at last year's girly dancing to Slipknot...

I was very privileged I was never bullied by people at my school when I would turn up in my baggies and tight t-shirts or Converse (bar oddly the teachers who would make comments). The scene kids with parents who could afford the best clothes would be the ones to say I wasn't goth enough or greb enough. I was never beaten up or attacked, I was just accepted. I stopped dressing alternative because my parents just wouldn't allow it. Not just because of cost but because they've never accepted their daughter is a little different. Only now I'm in my 30s have I started embracing the way I like to dress. It's why I still don't have more than my ears pierced and my one (very unexpected) tattoo from my teens (also not helped my dad has my list of tattoos in the diary of mine he took as blackmail as a teenager but that's a trauma dump for another day). The pressure from the adults around me, the horrible experience of my so-called peers telling me I didn't fit in was what stopped me dressing alternative.

The joy I feel at seeing people love alternative music, dressing how they want and being accepted by their parents makes me so overwhelmed. If people don't have to go through our awful experiences, then good for them. Its not some competition and there's not some defined experience that we all must have had to be part of an alternative scene.

Not being bullied or beaten up is the least we should want for those who come into our world. To not experience the crap - in whatever form - we had to experience. We should rejoice people want to be here, that we have easier access to our music, clothes and whatever else we need to just enjoy our lives. We should never forget or diminish what has happened to others but we should want better.

If you are reading this, you are welcome here, whatever your level of alternative (or otherwise). Everyone's experience is different and valid and hopefully now wonderful.

Now, are we really gatekeeping Korn....

So I think somebody knows he overstepped massively last night, had a mardy he didn't get attention or persuade people to come to us and went to meet them and proceeded to get hammered. Interesting move of getting shots after I'd sent a message saying they had just missed shots and they went in to overdrive.

Now my hangover is finally clearing things make sense. Sorta.

I shouldn't be shocked at the audacity at F1 for genuinely thinking they are will give more to Andretti than Andretti would give to them.

Former F1 World Champion, highly respected in multiple motorsport categories, huge American following but no F1 will give them more than Andretti will give to them.

Let's pretend Haas add anything to this sport other than Netflix views or that VCARB or Stake are competitive and add anything to the sport. This is greed pure and simple. I also think there's a hint of worry from the teams that Andretti would be a competitive addition but that's a conspiracy (for now).

Put some respect on a former champion's name and stop pretending you want to "break America" when you've thrown away a huge opportunity to do that.
