I suppose being cis would be nice and all, but it doesn’t quite have the same “I will sieze Destiny by the throat and force it into the shape of my choosing” kind of verve
this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.
I had no idea “coach” could also mean “bus” until like, a second ago and I stared at your reply in disbelief for a good minute because I thought you were telling me to do the trip in a horse-drawn carriage. I was like “Coach?! Like Cinderella?! Where would I even get- that HAS to be slower than a car!”
The astronomically long half-life of this particular game is difficult for most foreigners to comprehend. “O buraco é mais embaixo,” my friends tell me. “The hole is deeper than you think.” The Brazilian national team’s current mascot, an irate yellow avian with a face like an Angry Bird, was created in anticipation of the 2018 World Cup and styled as to reflect Brazilians’ anger over the shameful loss to Germany. (A valiant attempt to rekindle faith in the seleção, the popular mascot has since been nicknamed the “Pissed Off Little Canary” by fans.) When I arrived in Brazil in 2022, nearly two World Cups later, the first Portuguese idiom I learned was a phrase used to describe life’s daily struggle: “Every day, another seven-to-one.” Certain Brazilians believe themselves destined to lose, as divine punishment for the goals sustained in that semifinal, seven World Cups in a row. Others point to Germany’s group stage elimination in the two following World Cups as a sign of, if not a lingering curse, perhaps a short-lived hex in the other direction.

“Pray like a gringo, play like a gringo,” reads a viral tweet from the Research Institute for the Study of Hispanic-Catholic Civilization and Pan-Iberian geopolitics, an esoteric Catholic think-tank. Like a growing portion of the general population (nearly 27 percent as of 2022), twenty-three of twenty-six players on the Brazilian squad identify as Evangelical, many of them belonging to neo-Pentecostal branches that owe their origins to CIA-supported US missionaries in the 1970s. Some of the players use faith healing to recover from injuries, reject the help of team-offered sports psychologists in favor of their own pastors, and, according to frustrated fans, chalk up their errors on the pitch to the will of God instead of expressing an appropriate amount of public guilt. Brazil was better when its players behaved like Catholics, claims the Research Institute, whose take has since been vocally supported by other embittered pundits: “Evangelical Protestant sterilisation has flattened their ball, ruined their samba and obliterated their swag.”
Or perhaps it’s all simply part of the curse. This World Cup loss marks the third since the 2014 semifinal against Germany. At least there’s only four more to go.
