still so unbelievably funny that mclaren made a sad music grey background entirely italian script farewell video to carlos imploring their long-time rivals to "take care of him for me 😢😢😢". which starts with lando norris stumbling over his words and sighing miserably (likely because he cannot speak italian, possibly because he's gay) and contains zak brown saying "a river dert chee". oh to live in the minds of their marketing team

maturing is realizing that you’re allowed to be immersed in goth culture and still like colorful things

I think I get what you’re saying about individual actions. But if no one brings awareness to an issue, how can collective actions ever take place in the first place? Some people need to have their eyes opened first.

So I have several thoughts about this. The first is that collective action needs to be led by people resisting their own oppression. I don't think that migrant workers or queer Qataris need to be made aware of their oppression.

This exposes one of the problems with 'awareness' - is that it absolutely centres those who are not oppressed, rather than those who are.

That's why I don't think raising awareness about what's wrong with the world is very useful most of the time. What's important is to raise awareness of how people are resisting and how it's possible to act in solidarity with their resistence.

The other thing I'd say is that I wasn't arguing that people should speak up and raise awareness (although I'm sceptical about the political impact). But responding to anons who appeared to argue that failure to speak about a particular issue to raise awareness is a grave moral failing.

As well as disagreeing with that moral framework - I also think it's terrible politics. The idea that everyone must speak about everything amplifies the wrong voices and crowds the discussion with people with loud voices and nothing to say. Who the fuck cares what someone in the UK, who has no special knowledge or expertise, has to say about Qatari's oppression of queer people or labour system?

Every now and again I remember how much I love RiD X-Brawn.  Like, just.

Normally I’m not super into asymmetry, but this is just so weird and bonkers I love it. The entire front of his alt-mode is fused to his arm, he’s got back garbage out the ass, and legs are kinda odd. I just love this rad robo cowboy

Also there’s that version in wheeljack colors which is brilliant.
