I 100% think that at some point someone (Troy?) told the rookies/younger Cens players that if they were "real" allies they'd kiss boys just to be sure.

Cue like, all of the Cens rookies/younger players discovering they're bi/pan/gay/queer and Troy having to explain to Ilya that it was a joke no he didn't purposefully make them have gay awakenings he thought it was harmless!

Ilya is losing it and trying not to, Shane is trying to figure out if Troy was trying to haze the rookies/younger players, Scott is getting updates and has discovered that this "ally proof" has spread to his rookies and beyond.

It gets to Boston and Marleau just drags everyone to a gay bar and sets them loose to see what happens.

It is heartbreaking how little media attention this has received.

This year, the European Press Prize was awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant.

Titled "What the Wounds Tell," the investigation by journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra documents 114 cases of children in Gaza, all under the age of 15, who were shot once in the head or chest.

Almost all of them were killed or left with severe, permanent injuries.

The journalists chose to focus on children under 15 because they were easier to identify. Many were much younger, only 3, 4, or 7 years old.

The report states:

"A single bullet wound to these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted."

The world sees statistics. I see children with names, dreams, fears, and hungry stomachs. My children deserve the same chance to live, learn, and grow as any child anywhere else.

The war took away our home, our stability, and our source of income. Today, my wife, my four children, and I survive through the kindness of people who have not forgotten us.

In today's state of hyperactivity, where boredom is not allowed to emerge, we never reach the state of deep mental relaxation. The information society is an age of heightened mental tension, because the essence of information is surprise and the stimulus it provides. The tsunami of information means that our perceptual apparatus is permanently stimulated. It can no longer enter into contemplation. The tsunami of information fragments our attention. It prevents the contemplative lingering that is essential to narrating and careful listening . . . In the process of digitalization, . . . information acquires an altogether different status. Reality itself takes on the form of information and data. For the most part, we perceive reality in terms of information or through the lens of information. Information is an idea—that is, a re-representation. When reality takes the form of information, the immediate experience of presence withers. When digitalization gives everything the form of information, reality is flattened.

I recently saw a post on Nextdoor where they complained that Animal Control wouldn’t come out and deal with some ducks they saw in a pond.

Like, that’s where ducks go. That is duck home. This is where they are supposed to be. Call Animal Control if the duck is in your living room. Not when you are in the duck’s living room.

I don’t know how to break this to some of you but someone being cringe is not a crime. It’s not even a cancellable offense. Too many of y’all have lost your sense of whimsy and now give off the energy of the popular kids in school who side eyed and scoffed at anyone different. Hiding behind the veil of online anonymity has made some of you really mean for no good reason

“Besides, nowadays, almost all capable people are terribly afraid of being ridiculous, and are miserable because of it.”

- Fyodor Dostoevsky

[ryan-sometimes]

The internet has empowered you to express your hatred for others happier and freer than you. You can finally experience for yourself the power the mean popular kids in school had and you’ve become addicted to it. You’re targeting the harmless weirdos of the world instead of the true villains among us, and you’re generating nothing positive to society. You will have retweets from others just as miserable as you, and yet none of them will be at your funeral. Your mark on this earth will be negative and uninspiring.

this just occurred to me but i think while shane’s safe space is on ilya’s crotch ilya’s safe space is shane’s chest. for no reason at all. except at tampa the first time he ever cried in front of shane he was safely tucked in shane’s chest. the first time he said i love you he cried and laid on shane’s chest while shane ran his fingers through his hair.

so now when ilya feels clingy or sad or tired he crawls into shane’s chest and nuzzle between his pecs and shane’s hands fly up automatically to scratch his scalp and it’s the safest, warmest place he could ever be
