Life is too short and Love is too long

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

season 3 maxanne makes me craaaazyyyy. from basically married cohabitation making future plans together "you're saying this ain't real" to amicable divorce "I trust you" to full on betrayal, not because they love each other any less but because they're both doing what they believe they have to to survive. also max terrified of Anne either dying or losing jack "not sure which is worse" and sleeping with an Eleanor lookalike to distract herself. they don't even know they don't even knowwww that there is nothing important that does not include you!!! they don't know that it feels like it's broken and it's going to hurt but they're going to be okay!!!!

25/50 thank you!

I don't want to talk about the 1000 days because I died a thousand times over during those days. They ripped my soul from me, took my sanity, and killed everything beautiful I saw. It's just a number the world talks about today and forgets tomorrow, even though tomorrow will be worse because it's 1001, meaning tomorrow there will be death, hunger, fear, poverty, and oppression. Nothing will change except that we keep getting worse and worse and worse. The whole world is showing sympathy today, but tomorrow they'll forget, even as our extermination and killing continue.

i really appreciate seeing all the posts on my dash recently to the effect of "shutting down conversations about race/gender/minorities in fandom spaces because 'fandom is meant to be fun' is just an excuse to not think critically about the bigoted behaviors you are exhibiting". i hope that this energy carries over into the gaming sphere next pleaaseee

pokemon is a series about building Your own team and going on Your own adventure with creatures that You collect and befriend, and is designed from the ground up to be personal and immersive. i have never been able to look like myself in a pokemon game. if i bought pokemon z a today and booted it up and tried to customize myself, i would not be able to look like myself. just fuck me i guess.

if you didn't watch the cabo verde v argentina game holy shit you missed out. it was intense. it was peak television. a first-time team from a tiny country came within a hair (3-2) of dethroning the reigning champions. their 40-year-old goalie had messi looking like he was having a panic attack. it was fucking brilliant. i need a cabo verde jersey now.
