i would like to share opinions!! and to say sorry ppl in your inbox are. insane. for some reason.
i mostly agree with you lmao but also!!! part of being a fan is being able to say "that makes sense it was the right decision" and also "THAT DECISION SUCKS FUCK THEM" at the same time...... i feel that balance is what makes being a sports fan so interesting
HOWEVER that being said there is a part of me that thinks this could end up being a really bad idea from a sporting perspective and i want to share. let me preface tho with the fact that i really Do Not Like james vowles. every time i see him it makes me remember his time on mercedes and i get heated. so i'm seeing this decision less charitably than others might
ok basically i would agree with the decision to have alex drive more if it looked in the practices like williams had a good chance of making points but uh. they didn't. and also alex has crashed at that corner twice from driver error which does not make me confident in him on this circuit
the issue for me is that in one fell swoop williams has potentially destroyed logan for the rest of the season (depending on his mental fortitude), told logan he's a placeholder, and put alex in a situation where if he doesn't drag the williams to points this weekend there will be a LOT of scrutiny on them. ultimately i understand it was the right decision it just has the unique combo of being insanely unfair from an emotional perspective AND solidifying team issues pretty handily AND having soooooo much that could go wrong that it's almost too stressful to engage with jfkldsfjsadklf
Yeah this perspective 100% makes sense and I appreciate hearing it! I think the fear about alex crashing out two years in a row is legitimately founded given how much everyone is struggling this weekend. But logan also had a moment in practice that probably didn’t help lend them faith, especially given his general issues with crashing (which makes sense, he was a rookie, but if they don’t have full faith in either driver to come out unscathed, it makes more sense to trust your more experienced and less generally crash-y driver). Especially because so far, points seem like they will be extra scarce for the bottom 5 teams this season, where a driver finishes might be an important tiebreaker at the end of the season if the backmarkers are equal - so even if alex doesn’t get points, he does finish further ahead than logan and you need your strongest driver out there to maximize where you finish.
My initial reaction was also a lot of “goddamn that sucks that he’s being punished for alex’s mistake” but i sat with it for a minute and it made a lot of sense, so i came to terms with it (i’m not his fan though, so obviously that’s a lot easier for me than for the people rooting for logan). Hopefully this all works out for the best, but it will be very interesting to see how it all plays out, because yeah if alex does crash, it’s going to bring in a shitstorm (even though we’ll never know how it wouldve gone with logan in the car).

Night before last I had A LOT of dreams with Fawful and Jolligig! Everytime I woke up and went back to sleep there they were, in one Jolligig was crying and I don't know why and there was some time travel stuff going on and I remember Fawful saying "the great Fawful is being very in love with the Jolligig", no idea if that's how he talks or not. He was also wearing his jumpsuits... a lot.
DFHSKLFS "... a lot" YES EXCELLENT... EXCELLENT.
That is close enough to how he talks! (at least in the English version!) but oh my god that's so sweet... I LOVE HOW HE'S ALWAYS EITHER TALKING ABOUT OR WITH JOLLIGIG IN YOUR DREAMS RJHAKGFDHGDFG
Jolli crying could reflect my recent mood, idk. Maybe. I haven't been so well lately but I'm not letting it ruin things for me atm :] <3

god I'm so fucking furious at the removal of Te Reo Māori names from organisations around Aotearoa. it's a complete non-issue, every organisation has the English name directly underneath the Māori name. I have never once as an English speaker been unable to understand what an organisation is for. Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is literally Māori himself, said “Te Papa is a historic name but tell me this waka kotahi, how many boats have you seen going down the road?”. Waka does not just mean canoe. it means vessel, and waka kotahi (the transport agency of Aotearoa) explains this VERY SIMPLY on their official website. waka kotahi means to travel together as one. Can you see how fucking upsetting this is. A Māori person in power who is in agreement about banning his own language, being so cocky about something that he does not even understand due to the suppression of the language of his people. It makes me sick. I've seen reports from Māori people all over Aotearoa speaking out about how upset and furious they are, how decades of progress have been undone in the fight to restore the rights of their people who have for so long been oppressed and have suffered the effects of colonisation. Please share this if you can, I hate knowing how few people will hear about this, I know there is so much injustice in the world right now and it is so exhausting, I know. I love you all, keep it up.

The Nisenan tribe in my local area has the opportunity to purchase 232 acres located on a historic Nisenan Village site called Yulića, but they have a limited time (until April 4, 2024) to raise the needed funds. You can learn more about the fundraiser and donate here.
Especially if you have ever enjoyed any of my writing, like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Aren't Dead, it would mean the world to me if you'd consider donating what you're able.
I'm also happy to take commissions and donate the funds in full to the fundraiser or to write anyone who sends me proof of their donation oneshots upon request; dm me or send me an ask if you're interested!
Reblogs are appreciated to spread the word. Thank you <3

i love that specific ao3 phenomenon where you get a sudden influx of kudos on a work and it’s clear someone shared your fic but you have no idea who they are or where they shared it. it’s like being a dickensian orphan receiving money from a mysterious benefactor.
