Jolene Meghan

I’m still struggling to pay for food and other necessities, I’m queer, disabled, trans, latino, and currently living under the control of parents that institutionalized me for two years.

I have a massive amount of allergies and food I can eat is often not provided.

Please if you can donate or share I would really appreciate it.

Ilya was never shown reading books, but people still write him as some type of closet philosopher, and I really don't understand why. Is it just because people want him to be perfect in every single way? Ilya isn't a brooding dark academia intellectual. He’s a jock hockey player who likes to party and have sex with random people and play amazing hockey. He reads people and situations, not 19th century literature, and forcing him into that box completely strips away who he actually is IMHO.

Then there’s this weird fandom swap because the character actually shown reading books is Shane, but his reading gets routinely reduced to "he only reads hockey books." Even if that's true, reading deeply in the field you work in and are passionate about is just as impressive as reading classic literature. If Shane is spending his time reading about the history of the sport, probably minorities in hockey, and locker room culture, that makes him a dedicated, analytical reader. Reading non-fiction specialization to understand your craft and your world is real reading.

[Video description: Four videos that have been stitched together; the first three are captioned. One: A lawyer in a suit says smugly, "I sued a 9-year-old kid and won!" Two: A bearded person sits outside and says ironically, "I challenged a nine year old kid to a basketball game and won." Three: A person wearing a yellow bandanna as a sweatband says dramatically, "I challenged a nine year old kid to a bench press competition, and won." Four: A (presumably) nine year old kid walks across a lawn, shaking their head slightly and sounding out of breath as they say, "I had the worst day of my life." End description.]

From a reverse image search, I found the website Show Your Stripes, run by the University of Reading in the UK, which is likely where the above graph originated. It provides temperature data for various regions of the world from approximately 1900-2025. For example, here are graphs for Canada, India, and Papua New Guinea:
