the mercedes clr incident at le mans is one of the only racing crashes i feel comfortable laughing at because a) nobody was seriously injured and b) it is a little funny that mercedes watched their car do That and were like "okay. uh. you know what we're just never doing le mans ever again"
mercedes watching their car do this: huh. maybe we're not good at endurance racing.
my tags were correct, it did in fact do it twice
They actually did it THREE TIMES, the first time just wasn't filmed 😭😭😭
There's a post on my dash about ridiculous ideas about perfect attendance and sending kids to school sick that reminded me of something that happened when I was a senior in high school that isn't about that but is the same vein of weird power moves that happen from school officials sometimes:
I had a teacher get me pulled out of class to go into her class so she could question me IN FRONT OF HER CLASS about why I didn't have a senior photo for the yearbook. She was the yearbook advisor. Up until this moment, I had zero opinions about this woman. I had never had her as a teacher or heard anything in particular about her (in a class of 68 in a K-12 school of 400, this is a rarity).
I explained that, 1) the photographer had cancelled on me because of a death in the family, and 2) we'd re-scheduled for November, which put us ahead of deadline, but then 3) my wisdom teeth had to come out or my several years in braces would be for nothing, so I had my wisdom teeth out and 4) was fine not having a senior photo as there would be several photos of me for class awards (shocking no one, I was voted most likely to succeed). And I didn't say it, but I also just didn't give much of a fuck. A lot of the trappings of senior year I was supposed to go wild for were just things that aggravated the shit out of me.
So, anyway, I explain I had to have my wisdom teeth out and was not terribly concerned about not having a photo.
"So, you're fine just having a blank square where your photo should be?" The teacher asks.
"Yes," I said, because it was true. I went to the same school all 13 years. Like, same campus of the same school, okay? I did not look materially different from junior to senior year. It was fucking fine.
The teacher then launched into a full-on rant AT me about how I was irresponsible and didn't understand that deadlines were an important thing to respect, and I immediately went into full bitch-Gayle mode because she had literally pulled me out of class so she could interrupt her own students' work so she could yell at me IN FRONT OF HER CLASS. She could have found me at lunch. She could have met me in the hall. No. She was making a decision to try and publicly humiliate for...some reason I have never tried to figure out.
The thing is, even at 18, a lot of my life had required me to get yelled at while I waited for the moment to fucking obliterate the person yelling at me. I was very good at waiting for the moment to do that.
She goes on for about two minutes just tearing me a new one, and finally goes, "But I suppose none of that matters to you since you don't care about deadlines."
"Right," I dead-panned. "What do I, the school newspaper editor know about deadlines. Is your staff going to need to use our computers again this week to meet yours because I can do a quick meeting with my staff today and make sure we're ahead enough to give you the space."
There was actual laughter from the class. She told me to leave. I left.
That lunch period, as I was in the newspaper room doing some thing for the paper because I actually took my role seriously, the journalism advisor came in, crossed her arms, sighed deeply, and said, "Gayle, what the HELL did you say to [teacher's name I have forgotten]?"
Bless that woman. She is one of the few reasons Angry Teenage Gayle did not become Felony Teenager Gayle. I'm not joking. I told her what had happened. She listened. She nodded. She warned me, "She'll be coming for you now."
"She can fucking try."
My advisor, through my senior year and after thanked me for all the new gray hairs I gave her. I thanked her for her unwavering support. I might need to say it again, honestly. She did a lot for me.
Anyway, a couple weeks later, the same teacher came into the journalism room to find the advisor and found me in a tube top without the sweater I'd been wearing over it and threatened to report me for dress code violation. And when you wanna talk about my villian origin story, the way my school handled dress code was high on the list.
I looked at her already knowing she was defeatable and went, "The only reason you even know I'm violating dress code is because you walked in here while I'm alone. How can I violate dress code if no one's seen me?"
She stormed out. I put my sweater back on. My advisor came in. "Gayle--"
"I'm not violating dress code," I said. "I was gonna put my sweater back on when the bell rang. I hate the dress code, but I'm not an idiot."
Honestly, my advisor deserved to shoot me out of a cannon.
op disabled reblogs but I think the point still stands
reminder that the books themselves also suck ass actually. there's an entire plotline endorsing slavery. the one character who advocates to end slavery is bullied and made fun of. the one slave who doesnt like being enslaved is bullied and treated as an outcast. the bankers are the picture of racist stereotypes of jewish people. the one asian character is named fckn Cho Chang. the worldbuilding SUCKS. fuck harry potter and fuck rowling. stop giving her your money.
This is all true, but we need to talk about how to explain JK Rowling to normies who aren't in any of the circles where JK Rowling's awful choices are discussed regularly. How do you talk to someone who, if you mention Harry Potter, says, "Oh, I really liked those books" or "Oh, I really liked those movies?" and get them to understand what a shitstain she is without seeming to just be calling THEM names for saying they liked something?
Yes, she mocks rape victims. She threatens litigation against the mildest criticism against her. She has created an LGB group to make it so very clear that trans people are not welcome where she gives money. She is the funding behind Scotland saying trans women aren't legally women. The list goes on.
But. I promise you, 99% of the people around you don't know she's done any of this because they aren't following her social media or stories about her. To them, she is just the author of those fun wizard books. You gotta talk about how she's SO WEIRD and ISN'T IT SAD.
You need to tell the normies how she uses the funds from all her payout agreements for ALL Harry Potter licensing, including the re-release of these movies.
"It's so fucking weird. It's so fucking off-putting. It's so fucking sad." Say that over and over. Don't try to tie it into larger ideas. This is not how people will listen. "Isn't it just fucking sad she has all this money that could go to literacy or scholarships, and she's using it to attack people who are just living their lives? What a weird fucking choice."
We need to out-Morbius Morbius in terms of this tanking, and the way you do that is talk to normies about how fucking WEIRD and RUDE she is. How ODD that the second Fantastic Beasts movie gave a "actually, fascism isn't too bad" vibe all the way through and especially at the end. How she has complained that the child actors from those movies particularly don't agree with her views on trans people and that she's publicly said that's why she wanted a new show.
What a WEIRD thing to say about child actors you worked with over a decade ago. It's so WEIRD she would care that those child actors have different opinions than her. It's really SAD she apparently has no hobbies except posting on social media about how she hates trans people. A beloved author who could be using her name to raise money for animal rescues and homeless people and all sorts of really great causes that could improve people's lives, and she's out here doing THIS? It just bums me out. I just can't support someone who uses their money to harass and harm other people like this. I don't know WHY she acts like this or WHY she's chosen to make it her whole personality, but it just makes it really hard for me to want to support any Harry Potter stuff, even when I loved it so much. Knowing any money made from that franchise goes into her pocket to just pour out onto orgs and laws that tell adults they can't just live their lives and be left alone is WEIRD.
And then say what you're gonna be doing instead. You know, I'm going to go and find some new fantasy books at the library. I'm going to boardgame day down at the game store. I'm going to a stitching group. I'm going to host a 1980s fantasy fest at my place; do you have any favorites you recommend? We should have a film fest where we watch all the movies that scared the shit out of us as kids.
If the normie goes, "Well, I'm going anyway," say, "Okay," and change the subject. If they try to justify because you clearly aren't into their decision, don't let them. "Hey, do whatever you want. I'll be [doing whatever you said you'd be doing." And then change the subject again. You don't have to threaten to cut someone off or yell at them or say they're terrible. They have to make the decision on their own, but you can make your point in a way that hopefully resonates and also refuse to back down but also refuse to absolve them.

people foolishly dismiss desserts and treats as having no nutritional value when they actually are necessary for refilling your sanity stat. to prove my point please observe the emotional stability of the next person you meet who doesnt let themselves ever eat any form of dessert

Knowing your country’s folklore comes in handy more often than you’d think.
It’s not that long ago my mom was talking about some Danish period drama she had been watching where at some point a woman kills her newborn baby she had out of wedlock so as not to be ostracized because the father abandoned her and my mom went “Tha poor baby and that poor women but what were women like her supposed to do? What a horrible time”
And I could helpfully add “That’s why we have mylings in Scandinavian folklore. They’re the ghosts of babies that were left in nature to die for this exact reason and it happened so often people believed that if you saw one there would be more nearby and they would crowd you until you got crushed under their weight” (should be noted we use the word genganger which means “those who walk again” and can be used for anything from ghosts to zombies to vampires to anything that was dead and came back hence why they can be ghosts that crush you. The lines are very blurred)
The horrified look on her face really added something to the conversation.
i should be nicer to anons calling me an egg maybe it's their first time seeing someone even slightly gnc
i have to ask actually. what happens when you go in someone's inbox and go "omg you should try being a girl i bet you're actually a closeted girl" and it's a trans man. does that ever happen. what then
auaahhauhghhh awful awful awful
[Image ID: Anonymous Tumblr ask reading: I'm a trans guy who dresses goth and slutty and i get "omg estrogen would save her" like at least once a week. And when I complain about it people tell me I'm being transmisogynistic for not wanting people to misgender me and tell me to detransition. so yeah I don't talk about it but it fucking sucks /End ID]
getting scambot messages from random accounts that clearly used to be normal active blogs is sad enough. you know that there used to be a real person on that blog until they were tricked into handing their password to the digital fae.
but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.
and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.
RIP to the blog that used to DM me to tell me they liked my new chapters. Their last known words spoken before being turned, 17 hours ago: "Ggs!" They were praising someone's deadlift.
the message they tried to get me with is probably the same message that got them, so for anybody who hasn't already been warned about the signs of a zombie account:
if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."
whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,
it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.
they got one of my treasured followers, and they can get you too. don't fall for their tricks. know the signs.
Please be aware of common scams, and follow @changes for updates!

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other
Our age of plastics is collapsing
Our age of information is collapsing! *remembers generative AI, nods to self* our age of information is collapsing.
used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic
Also the new linguistic quirk of just saying “it was 2020” as like. The full end of a story. You say “it was 2020” and everyone knows what you mean.
“I was going to get my masters degree but then it was 2020, so yeah”
“I was cast in a play and then it was 2020”
“my boyfriend proposed but then it was 2020”
Currently in a coffee shop listening to some of the most stereotypical boring sad college student music I have ever heard. If I typed "cisgender cavetown" into an AI generator it would produce this song.
Found it by googling the lyrics. It's "23" by some guy named Wilfred. Read these lyrics before listening to the song and I guarantee that the voice you would imagine this guy has is completely accurate.
