Today I watched the interview Matty gave for Being funny to Apple Music (the Zane Lowe one) and I gotta say, I didn’t realise how much and how deeply I missed / miss him. He’s so well spoken and has such a beautiful mind / way of saying things and expressing himself, I truly look up to him
The DAY after I finally delete TikTok from my phone Matty starts posting stories?????? What the hell dude I thought we were friends why would you DO this to meeee
(I didn’t even think he knew how to post stories on TikTok)
Anyway I feel extreme betrayed so maybe to make it up to me @trumanblackblog you could drop new music, yes?
I’m SO tired!!! I feel like I’ve been studying for finals for YEARS!!!! Thank god I have the last two exams on Monday and Tuesday so I’m almost free but I don’t wanna do this anymooooore
Also today my dog died (he was very sick and we had to euthanised him (don’t know if it’s the right expression)) so I have been crying and now my eyes hurt
Below there’s the last picture I took of him today at the vet 💔
i also finished the long game yesterday and like there is so much in that book that i don't think will work well in an on-screen format i lowkey want jacob to just go apeshit and do what he wants
I agree!! I guess spoilers for the long game below
I think that in the show they’ll make some changes, cause if I think about Ilya’s internal struggle and everything he goes through before he starts seeing his therapist, I don’t see how they can make that work. But that is just like an example.
And to respond to the other ask, yes I think Shane in this book was very different from the Shane that we know. Like, he noticed Ilya was struggling but always dropped the subject or never asked. And don’t get me started on the argument they had on Boxing Day!!!! How the fuck can you ask Ilya if he would give up hockey for you WHEN HE MOVED TO FUCKING OTTAWA AND HAS BEEN LOSING EVERY GAME!!! Shane more than anyone knows how competitive Ilya is and how he likes to win, I get that hockey isn’t everything to him but come oooonnn, it must suck to lose all the damn time
Also I hate that we didn’t really get a scene where they had a real, sit down conversation about their problems, I would have loved it.
The ending was nice, I feel like in the next book we’ll see how they work as teammates and how they settle down living together and starting a family.
ALSO, I would have also liked to see more of the Voyageurs and Shane, cause the team not taking it well was Shane’s fear and I think the situation was rushed a bit. I hate them and I hate they thought Shane slipped on purpose but there could have been more to say in my opinion
Today I finished reading the long game and I have to say two thing. One, I don’t know if I want to see some scenes in the second season cause I KNOW I’ll cry so hard. Second, I feel like I need to protect the Ilya and Shane from the books like I’m their mother but Connor and Hudson are so stunning that I go feral and I DEFINITELY don’t feel like their mother
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.
It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.
Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.
Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.
every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.
I don’t know if this is just because I’m not American but I’ve never heard queer used as a slur. Ever. Meanwhile gay was the insult in the 2000s here. Everything you didn’t like was ‘soo gay’. Queer wasn’t even a word most of us knew back then.
It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.
The reason people are upset about the word queer is that it’s a unifying term. You can say you’re queer and all people will know is that you’re part of the community. But you can’t say you’re LGBT, you have to say you’re gay or trans or ace. They don’t want you to be ambiguously queer. They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.
yeah in the 90s and early 2000s kids would call each other “gay” as an insult. But no one ties themselves in knots over whether “gay” is a slur. So yeah, please ffs learn your history.
Would it be bad if me and my sister’s boyfriend’s brother had a moment yesterday? Like flirted all night long and had a very intimate ride home in the backseat of his brother’s car (I don’t wanna give too much information but it was a bit spicy with our siblings in the front seats???? I don’t know what we were thinking)
