This is the first time in my life when it's actually fair to criticize the President for gas prices. I've spent so many years explaining to people that Presidents have pretty limited influence over the price of oil and that they do not have a magical lower-gas-prices button on their desk, I almost forgot that the President does actually have a raise-gas-prices button on their desk called "start a war with Iran for no reason"

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything
hi. just a reminder
starting over hurts mostly because you probably didn’t ask for it
but you can miss what almost worked and resent the reset besides
look at you, alive and kicking in this plot twist you didn't audition for
love, another character in progress surviving their rewrite, too
when you see the words girlhood girlie pop girl’s girl female experience and you immediately know you’re about to see something so completely unrelatable that it makes you feel like you’re on a different planet
my daily affirmation as an author
''when did we all become so performative'' idk man when the threat of being recorded at any time and posted for milions to see without your knowledge became normalised.
"commenting is hard i never know what to say" this is an actual comment i left on a fic last night
you can literally write anything you want
this comment being from 2:35 am adds to the atmosphere i think
As someone who has been on the Internet longer than many of you have been alive, I cannot emphasise enough what a good idea it is to block fools, bores, and drama-starters ON SIGHT. That means, on the FIRST sight. See the take, do not wait.
You are not a court of law. You are not required to hear them out, argue, nor give them a second chance. Block them. Nothing bad will happen to them without you! It's fine! Goodbye forever! Prevention is better than cure.
My fellow aunties will be with me on this.
[screaming from the rooftops] IT’S NOT THE SEX THAT MAKES HEATED RIVALRY SO HOT, IT’S THE SLOW BURN OF TWO HEAVILY REPRESSED INDIVIDUALS LEARNING TO SHED THE SOCIAL BINDS THAT TRAP THEM BECAUSE THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER OVERPOWERS THEIR DEEPLY ENGRAINED FEAR
Oh my Gd Ilya is perfectly written. So often in relationships where one character is autistic their partner loves them in spite of their autistic traits, not Ilya. Ilya loves Shane because of them, Ilya comforts Shane with no frustration, he accommodates Shane willingly without being asked. It’s wonderful as an autistic person to see a character be fully loved when so often autism is written as a burden.

i’m enamored by the specificity of this blog. like this is the only post they’ve ever made. this account was solely created for this special little guy. does he know?
Gröning proposed the idea for the film to the monks in 1984, but the Carthusians said they wanted time to think about it. They responded to him 16 years later to say they were willing to permit him to shoot the movie if he was still interested.
into great silence
I’m obsessed with the ambiguity in what Shane says to Yuna when they talk outside. Like the words he chooses are very specific but they encompass SO MUCH. “I tried really hard but I just can’t help it and I’m sorry” is simply the most insane and heartbreaking line ever I’m so not normal about this..
“I tried really hard but I just can’t help it” I tried to not be gay. I tried for it to be women (even with the perfect woman). I really really tried for it to not be Ilya. I tried for it to be anyone else. I tried for it to be no one at all. I tried for it to not matter. I tried to just focus on what was supposed to matter. I tried to make hockey the only thing that mattered. I tried to keep this thing separate. I tried to not have it mess anything up. I tried to put the pieces back together. I tried to not break anything in the first place.
“And I’m sorry.” I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I’m sorry I had this thing to tell you. I’m sorry I couldn’t fix it. I’m sorry it had to be this way. I’m sorry it got to this point. I’m sorry I couldn’t not let it get to this point. I’m sorry you found out this way. I’m sorry you had to find out at all. I’m sorry I’m not who you thought I was. I’m sorry I can’t be who you wanted me to be. I’m sorry I’m not who I wanted to be. I’m sorry this is all so messed up. I’m sorry I’m so messed up. I’m sorry I couldn’t fix it. I’m sorry my trying wasn’t enough.
Like are you FUCKING KIDDING ME???? Anyways I don’t care. Whatever Jacob Tierney I literally don’t care leave me alone…..
Wait, I’m just realizing this, and please, if I’m forgetting an instance in the book, please tell me—Shane asking Ilya to the cottage and asking him to be honest for those two weeks is A Big Fucking Deal. ™
I don’t even know if Shane is even aware of it himself, but up to that point, he has only interacted with Ilya in spaces that are Ilya’s or are neutral to both of them—hotel rooms. Ilya has never been in a space that is wholly Shane’s, that shows who Shane really is. We know that they have feelings for each other, but there is still a mental and emotional barrier for Shane.
Not only is Shane welcoming Ilya into his space, his favorite place, he’s unmasking. Feeling at ease enough to have Ilya at the cottage is big enough, but unmasking? Being willing to be vulnerable in that way is really hard when you’re autistic. We rarely get to see Shane at ease, feeling safe and comfortable being himself until that moment. Even with his parents.
This is why his panic is so complete when his dad accidentally discovers them. When you’re on the spectrum and you’ve spent your entire life masking, you’ve internalized the idea that if you let go of your mask, the very worst is going to happen. You’ll be seen and rejected for being who you are. So when Shane tells Ilya that it’s his worst nightmare, he isn’t overreacting or being dramatic. That terror is absolute. And Ilya just provides calm support and is okay with everything Shane is.
Heated Rivalry is really doing a number on me 😭
Whatever you do, don't think about how emotional Ilya is here. It will break your heart for eternity.
First time he's told that he's loved by someone that isn't Svetlana, his childhood bestfriend, and its not just anyone too its coming from Shane that he's wanted for so long more than anything. He couldn't comprehend that the man he loves the most loves him back.
He is spending the summer in a cottage in Canada, didn't have to go back "home" , alone with Shane, he felt so much love seeing shane come up with a plan so they can be together and got so overwhelmed with love that he just had to say it and... Shane said it back.
He's loved and cherished and its breaking down his walls.
I love you so much ilya rozanov you precious cupcake.
