#READ THE DAMN ARTICLE

[dawningfairytale]

mad about a tweet of an article portraying something technically true but basically wrong

#while yes it's conservative under larger society given this thing's circumstances it's actually pretty fucking progressive #also 'church of england so scotland should just leave' DO YOU NOT THINK ANGLICAN CHURCHES DONT EXIST ELSEWHERE #READ THE DAMN ARTICLE #i know it is bad. i am acutely aware of the homophobia in the church for some fucking reason #but like. this is genuinely better than it is elsewhere. #anglican churches being able to bless gay couples is a huge step in the right direction #no! it's not enough! i know that. but guess what? sometimes you have to muscle through it and wait for the homophobes to change their minds #or die out #this conundrum takes a long time. clearly. but this isn't the worst treatment of queer christians in the western world #(by the church at least) and i'm sick of people acting as though it is #do you know the homophobia that exists specifically in the sydney anglican church? #do you know that the nsw and act baptist association is debating over whether churches can be churches if they're 'same-sex affirming' #ie. can churches still be baptist if they're doing LITERALLY WHAT THE UPDATE SAYS THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS DOING #and the coe is worse in my state than most other places in the western world so ya i shit on it #but still. read the fucking article and understand that it's a bloody nuanced situation #vent #vent post #tw christianity #tw christianity mention #tw homophobia #in tags #THE ARTICLE IS PROGRESS YEAH PROGRESS IS SLOW BUT I'D MUCH RATHER CELEBRATE IT THAN REPRIMAND IT #OH YEAH AND THE FUCKING BIBLE BELT IN AMERICA #you're going to tell me. that whatever the fuck's going on there is comparable to 'sowwy we still can't marry gay couples but we're trying! #we can bless the union which is an improvement!!!'

Soundwave speaks in the 3rd person and no one blinks. He’s intelligent, respected even

But when Me, Grimlock-

#thinking ab how funny this disparity is #soundwave said fuck the first person fuck articles and fuck prepositions #it’s HIS silly little speech pattern and it has no room for this ‘grammar’ nonsense #grimlock however is written off as dumb for doing the same damn thing #I feel like grim could use him as a role model #transformers #maccadam #soundwave #grimlock #I hope everyone reads this in the voice of that one joker ‘SoCiEtY’ gay meme

Not to ruin your day but thoughts on the 2025 project?

It is, with zero exaggeration or hyperbole, a literally perfect blueprint for fascism. If anyone is somehow still on the fence about voting for Biden, plans not to vote for Biden, or to throw away their vote on some third-party whackjob just to "send a message," I urge you to read these articles and understand the magnitude of what is at stake (courtesy, again, of the fucking Heritage Foundation):

A Rational Analysis of the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Presidential Transition Project, “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise”

The Heritage Foundation Plan to Help Trump End Democracy in America

What is Project 2025? Trump Shadow Network Plans to Overhaul 'Deep State'

‘Project 2025’: plan to dismantle US climate policy for next Republican president

#anonymous #ask #politics for ts #they are not being subtle! #they are announcing it all in the open! #and we still have 'both sides are the same wah voting is bad' nonsense going on!!!! #jesus fucking christ!!!!! #read the damn articles people! #they can and will do all of that and more!!!! #oy fucking vey

guy who has learned about 20th century proxy wars exclusively from the scores of pages of exposition on them in the machine translated novel adaptation of Metal Gear Solid V

and it doesn’t distinguish between real events and fake ones, so best of luck to him

#I was skimming through it because of course I was and it reads like a damn Wikipedia article #mgs #it’s 3:30am I cannot sleep #and it ain’t because the writing quality is too gripping to put down.

The Lucy Letby case is weird, because in other instances of medical providers committing murder (Barbara Salisbury, Colin Norris, Charles Cullen, Harold Shipman), both the evidence for murder and the likely motive have been much clearer, even accompanied by a confession. AFAICT the evidence against Letby is much more ambiguous, mostly circumstantial, and there's no motive whatsoever--though of course the British press is reporting on the most innocuous of details as though they are ironclad proof.

There are enough cases of people being prosecuted for the murder of children, involving dubious reasoning like "shaken baby syndrome," that have proven to be mostly searches for scapegoats, that it seems pretty dubious to me to send someone to prison for life without the possibility of parole without ironclad evidence for their guilt. And using the fact that someone has not exhibited remorse for the crime they maintain their innocence of, as a basis for handing down that sentence, seems especially perverse, considering, y'know, that would also be the behavior of someone who was not in fact guilty.

#god the british press is trash #trying to read about any criminal case you get articles like “DAMNING EVIDENCE REVEALED: THIS PAEDO FREAK LIKES PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA” #i mean reporting on major crime stories is generally trash #people have really terrible reasoning about what “normal” behavior is for suspects accused of murder #but the british press is especially bad

I consider Tyler's permanency in the narrator's psyche to be equivalent to that one bobbit worm

#fight club #highly recommend the read #there's news articles that sum it up but those do not give you the full story of how much this guy tried to kill the damn thing #he fed it enough prazi that it shouldve killed a small horse. etc #glass. glue. two part epoxy #when apex annelids get full grown they're tough as shit #ftr i believe in like... kind euthanasia even 4 nusiance animals #but like. god they tried #the only thing is their fear of the worm becoming two if split is thankfully incorrect. annelids need their brain intact and cant regrow it

the valtteri files, 2009-2012

hello!

as a magpie of a human, i have decided to sift through every article returned by EBSCO for search query "valtteri bottas." results returned for a range of 2009-present. i have downloaded and organized the files and have decided to share them because what's the point of lore-gathering if you don't share it?

in the nature of an encyclopedia, i suppose, i've grouped the articles by years. the early results aren't many, so they have the greatest range.

2013-2014

2015

some notes:

whether or not there are images depends on if EBSCO returned a full PDF or just an HTML file (there are no images until 2014). if anyone happens to have matching images--perhaps from your own print copies or returns from a different database--i would love to get them!

these are from common english-language magazines. if anyone has articles or clippings from other pubs and would like to contribute to this archive, i would welcome that!

pink background to aid against eye strain, but if anyone finds this inaccessible for any reason please let me know and i will create higher contrast black & white versions as well!

[shut up and take me to the file]

#valtteri bottas #vb77 #f1 #text post #the valtteri files #i'll be honest 2009-2012 isn't super juicy besides just like observing his raw talent but the articles get longer as his career goes on #doing all this like damn i hope anybody reads these lksdjfklsdjf

thinking about the animal literature class i took last spring that was pushed as a class all around symbolism but it ended up being an ARA focus and my professor and i were talking about my black beauty paper and she said something like “you dont think of all the ways the author is actually promoting animal harm though… like why doesnt she criticize the use of carriage horses at all? does she think its ethical for animals to work for humans instead of alternative means?”

well besides the obvious bullshit there… THIS BOOK TAKES PLACE IN THE 1800s!!!!!! THERE WERE NO CARS!!!

#fuck you black beauty author why didnt you predict henry ford you dumb bitch. CLEARLY you actually hate horses! #like. tbf she couldve been nitpicking bc she was very nitpicky in class on a lot of stuff #but like it lives in my brain. the book was published 10 years before the car wtf is she supposed to do #i didnt even care for the book im just bewildered???? #also realizing we were supposed to read the breaking in scene as gross and immoral in the class bc its the only scene we actually read #before we moved on to other book samples. bc btw we only read two full books in that class. #one of them was charlottes web. #we mostly read really short samples and articles besides that. #echoed voice #i was kinda joking like ‘’oh boy wonder what she thinks of service dogs’’ and then i learned ara’s hate service dogs #so. damn ok

who else up feeling the soul-numbing empty hopelessness for absolutely no reason this friday night

#literally nothing bad even happened to me personally today cannot emphasize this enough #i just read one too many of the Wrong wikipedia articles during the period after the sun went down at fucking 4 pm or whatever and then #my brain just decided it was time to replay the biggest hits of the great 2020-2022 depressive episode for fun i guess #and now i’m having. a series of moments. over a series of ridiculous things #again not even specific things that have actually happened to me just the whole vague existential dread deal i guess #truly i haven’t felt this shitty without some kind of direct cause for a year and half at this point #which is having the semi-beneficial side effect of reminding me to appreciate just how good my mental health has been recently #like. remember how i used to just feel like this all the time for. actually most of my life Until a year and a half ago? damn that’s crazy #i hope i snap out of this lmao i really cannot deal with walking into the holidays as a hollow shell of a person #but i think i’ll be fine tomorrow actually pretty sure i’m just kind of sleep deprived after this week #caseyposting
