I think that what many people don't understand is how micro-aggressive Rachel Reid comes across whenever she discusses Shane Hollander. I don't think anyone should be attacking her for irrelevant things (e.g., her gender or her fucking Parkinson's), but we have to call out the contrast in how she talks about Ilya and Shane on a micro aggressive level. Because there is no way his "ridiculous performance enhancement EATING DISORDER" is immediately trumped by his European, depressed boyfriend. Rachel Reid, arguably, does not know the character she created.

Let me be clear. I am well aware that she is the original author of the Game Changers universe and therefore Heated Rivalry. I am aware that, regardless, Shane Hollander is her character, so at the end of the day, nothing she writes is out of character. I think that she, however, is unaware of exactly the world she is having her gay, half-asian character exist in and how exactly he and the rest of the world would interact with each other. Shane Hollander is in a straight, white dominated sport as a gay, non-white person, and just the non-white part brings for a very brutal experience. At the end of the day, this is a romance-erotica and I'm not going to expect the world's best hockey commentary, but it's clear she has the capacity to go over serious issues like depression, sexual self-medication, etc. because that's what she as a white woman has the capacity to do.

So, no, I don't think she fully gets Shane because she has a fundamentally different experience of life as a white woman. That's that—she, in all cases, never will fully understand what she's putting out into the world. All of her very, very weird (and apathetic) takes on Shane Hollander show such a thing. All in all, we just have to sigh and understand that this is not the kind of story she's equipped to tell, but also point out and critique how her language (in the books or online) in regards to Shane Hollander can read as micro-aggressive whether she means it to or not. Perhaps this will change and be adapted in Unrivaled, and perhaps it won't.

history fucked me up

oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built

[kayforpay]

I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar

[archaeologysucks]

You mean like this?

The Timetables of History by Bernard Grun

I grew up with this book, which is frickin’ enormous, and it was endlessly fascinating to young me to pour over the side by side comparison of events taking place concurrently under different headings and in different parts of the world.

Or if you want something you can put on your wall, there’s this:

World History Timeline

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

I had this book! My grandpa gave it to me and it was really freakin useful!!

[mckitterick]

I loved this book! Same for The Timetables of Science: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Science.

Same for The Timetables of Technology: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Technology. Great references!

[lepetitpoete]

okay but here’s an even cooler (free!) visualization that goes a step further and tracks ideas, devices, infrastructures, and systems of power

Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500

✨️with a special focus on colonialism, militarization, automation, and enclosure✨️

You can spend hours upon hours exploring this

[lilacchao]

im also a fan of this map that lets you scroll back in time to see what different territories we know about from different points in history

I've been possessed by the spirits to make another study of the fucking show (affectionate).

[hellothisisangle]

These were SUPPOSED to be quick Wake Up Deadman still studies, but I got lost in the sauce

[ariadne-mouse]

The All-Star Game moment is truly just a hockey version of Gustav Klimt's The Kiss because the joy was off the charts and so of course, I had to do it
