Collecting Hobbies Is My Hobby

The Templers just being a few old men who just like hanging out is endearing. They fund raise and like go carts and skeeball. And even though it’s a fraternity, Herb tells Vesper if she just wants to play skeeball she’s welcome to come and do that. And when she displays sincere interest, he immediately sees it and accepts it. They’re grumpy and don’t like change but they do change because they believe the Templers are more important than some arbitrary rules. Also the one old man ensuring nonbinary people are included because his grandkid is nonbinary suggests he not only accepts them but is creating the opportunity for them to join as well. Maybe he hopes if they join the two of them will have the opportunity to spend more time together. Reminded me of my grandpa. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like someone just wanted to spend time with me more than him. He was the sort to call just to talk. Maybe I’m projecting but I like them.

used to live in a college town that was huge on sports. 80% of small talk was sportsball and so i developed an Evil Habit: whenever the conversation inevitably turned to the upcoming Big Game i would act excited and then confused. I would earnestly insist they had the details wrong. "the game next Saturday? don't you mean the Thursday after? playing against the [predator species]? no we're playing against the [other predator species]." And so on. i would draw this argument out for as long as feasibly possible, until eventually someone would pull out their phone to prove to me my wrongness. At which point I would squint exaggerated at the screen, slap my forehead in an eureka moment, and exclaim "oh you meant the MEN'S team!!! are they doing a game? that's nice."

love it when whatever is wrong with Lou Wilson synergizes with whatever is wrong with Ally Beardsley

theres a reason u associate east asians with femininity and black people with masculinity and it has nothing to do with actual masculine or feminine “behavior” and everything to do with race science 😭 u have been taught race science, u haven’t unlearned race science 😭😭😭😭 READ A BOOK ABOUT RACISMMMM

I’m putting in my too weak notice.
