よろしく everyone 🫡 I've hidden all my other social media from my phone so talk to me pls 🙏🙏🙏

Also, tags: I use "#liv diaries" for my personal or original posts (things I'd normally post on Twitter), they're always OK to rb unless I specifically state so but you can mute it if you like. I try not to use it much though because it's a lil embarrassing

Stealing this from twitter but I liked the concept: put in the tags where were your 8 great-grandparents from (given modern borders) ?

Generative AI and the artist discussion is such a distraction from AI’s military and police applications or its role in automating hiring discrimination.

girl help I made a post about an american tourist assuming we celebrate 4th of july here (which has happened multiple times btw) and now americans are in my comments and inbox arguing that maybe he was just tired and it’s actually a common mistake to make if you’re used to celebrating it your whole life and that it’s completely normal to go to other countries assuming they celebrate your holidays and that you can pay with your currency without doing research on where you’re going 😭

I was thinking about Shane's propensity for clarifying questions and how funny they can be. (I think we've all made some cracks about "is it very upsetting" or "sick like...crazy?").

But it occurs to me that the first real clarifying question that we see him ask is not a question exactly, but it's "with Rozanov's permission" in that press conference.

Because Shane can see that Ilya's struggling. And Shane really has three options here: ignore it and let Ilya flounder on his own, use it to his own benefit, or jump in and save Ilya but possibly wound his pride in the process.

Shane is autistic. We know that. We also know that he probably does not know that. But he probably does know what it's like to have people jump in and "help" him in ways that sometimes make things look or feel worse. (As much as we love Yuna Hollander, I can't imagine that her overbearing presence made things easy for a teenaged boy on a sports team.)

So he asks. In a very practiced, almost casual way. (and more personally with the foot touch). He waits, for the acknowledgement and the nod, and only THEN takes over the question. Afterward, Ilya gets his chance to answer in a way that makes him look cool and unconcerned. He gets to keep his pride.

I feel like sometimes we blame Shane's autism for a lot of things that happen in the series, but I think this is one point where it was actually a benefit. Because Shane is used to asking questions about things that other people would take as a given. And because Shane is used to having well-meaning people "help" in ways that don't always feel like help. So Shane is able to give Ilya what he needs in this scene (and probably cement the idea that what should have been a one-night stand is definitely something worth revisiting.)

and my irina headcanons… I think ilya remembers her as a saint and I don’t think uh. well. I think it was probably a little more complicated than that

[raincitygirl76]

She died when Ilya was 12. If she’d died when he was 16 instead, his memories of her would probably be much more nuanced. Because teenagers fight with and challenge their parents even when they love them.

I bet Alexei’s memories of Irina are much more complicated. By virtue of him being 16 when she died as well as by virtue of it seeming like Ilya was probably her favourite child.

i think carter vaughn is the type of guy who always has a new thing going on and you can literally never predict what it is. he's knitting. he's woodworking. he started rock climbing. he stopped rock climbing and he has a really funny story about why but you aren't allowed to tell team management. he's into crypto. he's playing runescape. he's doing it all
