Monday drinkie winkie

Monday is always my day where I want a drink. Like, they're all SO MUCH all the time.

So today I'm drinking state store margaritas and writing fanfic. Due to reasons.

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Remaining time: 6 days 6 minutes

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

and like why is there even still gender segregated tennis in the first place. it's hitting shit with a racket. anyone can do that against anyone. like I feel like we've had pretty significant proof that women can and do whup any man's ass at tennis for uuuuuuh however long the Williams sisters have been doing it. what on earth is the point of "sex testing" the players. let them all just hit the fucking balls at whoever they want who gives a fuck.

Why gender segregated darts, archery, shooting…

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?”  and then scream and cut out his mic.

Everyone forgets Michael Collins and it’s fucking tragic.

Outer Wilds *definitely* based its astronaut characters on these kinds of transcripts. They’re just so casually ridiculous and bounce off each other in the same ways. The “come now, Buzz, don’t refer to them as big mothers. Give them some scientific name” feels like it came straight from Hornfels talking to Feldspar

[reaperlight]

Same with the astronauts in Life (2017) they have the same kind of banter especially Rory (Deadpool) Adams.

47 made a Truth Social post about how great Giant Eagle is. If I didn’t hate them for their inflated prices before…

My possibly hot take take is that if Del Toro adapts the Phantom of the Opera like I think it'll be a fun watch and obviously he knows how to make a moving picture look good, etc,etc but like I also think he's gonna woobify the Phantom of the Opera and I justtt think I'm ready to see what a female director/ writer would do with the material. Let's see what the ladies will do huh. Like I need my girl Christine Daae done right in all her nuancessss plzzzz.

Someone on fb who does not know me recced one of my fics. I feel blessed 🥰🥰🥰

I understand where people are coming from but martyrdom absolutely exists in Judaism. the big difference is it's not something we really go out of our way to do, but there are Jewish martyrs who are revered for their martyrdom (Chana and her 7 sons come to mind). like I get why it's important to make the distinction but dying על פי קדוש ה' is absolutely a thing

.

[haunted-hideaway]

There is a vaaaaast difference between Jewish and Christian martyrdom. In Christianity, it’s something to aspire to. It’s just shy of advocating going out and looking for trouble. If you’re blessed, you will see a martyr’s death and be lauded and praised and venerated (different than worshiped by a smidge) after your demise.

In Judaism the trouble finds us and we’re told to LIVE, not just roll over and die for what you believe in because it is a worthy death. It’s like… if it comes to that, and you stand up for Judaism and God, then you are a looked-up-to martyr. But it is EXPECTED that you will seek ways to preserve your own life first. Not just skip to a martyr’s death.

Good news everyone, I just heard that the Tate brothers have been arrested because the UK want to extradite them on rape and human trafficking charges.

The good news is the arrest, and extradition.

Sweet.
