BEGGING people to realize that when you give critique (ex: beta reads and feedback exchanges), you are supposed to focus on the things you thought were executed well *just as much* as the things you thought needed work. If you just focus on the negative, the person you are critiquing will likely assume nothing they did was good, and in subsequent adjustments to the work may throw out the baby with the bathwater and get rid of all the elements that worked fine. If they don't give up altogether.

Critiquing is its own skillset that we have to hone! It is so important to be able to recognize not just mistakes, but also things the creator pulls off fantastically. This seems like an easy thing to notice, but there are A LOT of pieces to a work that when done right become almost invisible. They don't leap out at you like something that interrupts your immersion. That immersion itself is a sign of solid work, and it can be hard to recognize if you're not used to looking for it.

when england lose, women bruise

and this isnt even an english phenomenon, it is worldwide

The connection between football and domestic violence isn’t uncommon. A study shows that police receive increased calls reporting domestic violence every Sunday during football season [iii]. Researchers analyzed over 700 cities and counties using data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) of police reports, revealing that these spikes are linked to teams losing a game [iii]. In fact, domestic violence incidents rise by about 10% on days when NFL games are played, usually occurring in family homes and most of the time affecting women [iii].  This shows that the outcomes of football games can have a real impact on people’s lives off the field. It’s important for fans, teams, and communities to recognize these patterns and work together to raise awareness and prevent domestic violence from happening, especially during football season.

NFL games bring people from all over the United States together to show their love for the game, creating an atmosphere where diverse cultur

she's platonic about it but in my opinion, stratt 100% treats grace as her dead wife. she keeps a tacky fox trinket in her coat pocket. there's a framed photo of him in her study . he's grinning goofily in it (bc he's a dork). new guy like: is that her husband? / no, dumbass, it's dr. ryland grace, 1/3 of the hail mary mission. / oh, fuck. were they... ? / yeah, it's unclear. black-and-white montages of grace messing around in high-level meetings play every time stratt contemplates committing more environmental crimes. she looks up at the night sky and vaguely wonders if he's enjoying his space ramen. that's her dead wife. she killed him.

in retrospect it's pretty funny that the most used computer port for many years just completely sucked shit to the point of there being normie memes about it

I mean when your biggest tech issue is "takes an extra 10 seconds (at most) to plug in if you're not paying attention" that's pretty good! Imagine if you had a printer and the printer's biggest problem was that the paper took a few tries to insert into the tray. You'd want to fuck that printer.
