i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

I don't think we talk enough about the fact that Monaco was Ferrari's first race in F1

I got off twitter literally right after the news of the contract extension dropped but before I got off for the day I kept seeing fans of other drivers dropping in to comment on the contract/charles. It was honestly kind of funny to me more than anything bcs they are the same people who edit their drivers into a Ferrari suits so they can pretend he's the one who will fix Ferrari😭

well everyone IS a ferrari fan

[clwdc]

listen i don't know if it's just ME who's in too deep but why is everyone acting like this is the worst possible decision oh woe is charles ofc him and ferrari were on the verge of divorcing and this contract is like. a baby to keep the marriage alive and afloat. am i missing something.

Charles Leclerc 16

[redfacedpalindrome]

i’ve been a longtime defender of the charles-ferrari agenda

i’ll cuss out ferrari 29472928 times a race weekend but ultimately charles’s success in formula one only matters to me if it’s his definition of success

we were all drawn to charles by his perseverance and his ability to look at long odds and believe he personally can spread his hands and bridge impossibility into reality. there’s just no way you can criticize him for subsequently following through on the one ethos that has guided him seemingly forever

anyway i pray to god that ferrari is good to him i pray that we experience the culmination of effort we’ve always dreamed of and charles brings the wdc home because as long as it’s true for charles it’s true for me: a win in red means more.

[xarialore]

i really don't need to rant on this further but it is so disingenuous to see these incredibly stupid takes coming from the same people that supposedly follow charles with undivided loyalty

because if you did, you would understand these people you curse day and night actually raised him, and no not in the metaphorical sense, i mean that in the literal sense

he got to the ferrari academy when he was 15 years old and they helped him through the ranks and when he says they're his "family" he's not sprinkling that shit for a wholesome look, some of these people that you and i don't know by name, have been there for him in times we were never privy to

so when you sit down and furiously rant about why he's doing this, take a moment to yourself and use your little brain neurons to understand his relationship with this team goes beyond any other relationship that a driver has with their team. he's clearly not only in ferrari for sporting reasons alone and you need to accept that and move on

he's made his choice long ago and i have made peace with it. it's either a championship with ferrari or nothing now let's wrap it up

[shar-lecler]

people go on and on about loving the idea of devotion to the point of consumption and how love will swallow you whole and turn you into something that is equally starved and also wholly satisfied. but when I, charles marc herve perceval leclerc,

[xarialore]

if you think charles is ruining his career with this choice you should've quit in 2022 when they took away the only competitive car they have produced in the last 30 years to give equal chance to his bum stinky teammate

my point here is that charles has a rare trait in a formula 1 driver and that is something called perseverance. he has taken and he has witnessed horrors another driver would never even dream of and yet he wakes up every day and thinks it's a new chance to achieve a dream and he's not doing this as a fake little joke

he genuinely and deeply believes that ferrari one day will give him the car and he has clearly seen something in the past year to convince him that it's coming soon and if you're not on board for that you can fuck off idk
