C'est la faute à Voltaire

so you're telling me the fifa world cup is all men? its all men's teams? and so is the superbowl? and all the sports teams that states are known for and make copious amounts of merch for are also men's teams? and only 5 women have ever entered formula one since its inception in 1950 and only two of them were able to compete? and this is normal? its acceptable?

i grew up playing backyard soccer on the pc as a child in the early 2000s where boys and girls would play on the same team and against each other and you're telling me that's still an unrealistic fantasy that can't happen in real life?

it is of course easier to performatively ban children from social media than to do things like "actually challenge and regulate the abusive tactics tech companies use to extract people's data and money via social media" but if we did the second thing we wouldn't have any excuse to force people to use digital ID :(

today i just (remembers to maintain privacy online) did something really cool. you have to trust me

Funny, now that I'm on a preventative that actually works, I still have the same diet and lifestyle, some nights I don't sleep well or long enough and some days, I don't drink enough water or skip a meal, or look at a computer screen too much — yet I don't get any headaches. Like at all. Isn't that so weird and unexpected.

And as soon as I stopped having headaches, I started wanting to get regular exercise, because I'm no longer fatigued because of the headaches, no longer had muscle pains (they were a symptom), and I started eating better because the nausea was gone, and I'm less stressed because I have an easier time getting tasks done and taking care of myself, because I'm no longer having fucking headaches every damn day.

oh my god im going fucking crazy *continues to live exactly the same*

hey, dont cry modern doctor who fans, 159 classic who episodes, 517 books, 1952 audio stories, 1267 comics ok?

anyways, I'm still so angry over that Deadline article about Disney nuking Ncuti Gatwa's era of Doctor Who because of "woke" (not even kidding), because they received "overwhelming" feedback that the show was "too woke" for international audiences. It will never not piss me the fuck off how woke was/is literally aave for being politically aware that's been so co-opted by white establishment conservatives that this bastardised co-opted colonised concept of "woke" is now weaponised against Black people, people of colour and other marginalised people to justify casting us down and out. A literal fuckinf alien was played by a Black gay actor and old white people lost their shit and now a 60 yr old show is basically dead because some white people hated they weren't being directly pandered to. I'm never not gonna be pissed the fuck OFF

Hey, people in the comments who said I was wrong about the show being dead because I could see the writing on the wall months ago....well, now there's the official announcement. I really hope that no one ever forgets that Doctor Who was cancelled because of anti-Blackness, racism, and corporate greed.

How do you have thyme for all of this?
