DIMENSION 20: ON A BUS Season 2, Episode 1
“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

This is something I've thought about for weeks, and I'm going to explain it as best as I can:
Shane Hollander is fantastic autistic representation in general, but something that I really appreciate is the fact that Heated Rivalry is probably the first time in mainstream media that I personally have ever seen an autistic character portrayed as being sexual.
I think, as an autistic person, I've only ever seen autistic characters being portrayed as sexless, because non-autistic people assume we're all like that. Asexual autistics exist and they are my siblings and I love them deeply; that's not the problem. The problem is automatically being perceived that way by non-autistics. It's a stereotype rooted in the long history of autistic people (and disabled people in general) being infantalised.
So to have Shane Hollander, who is not only sexually active, but also (and this is a compliment) a freaky little slut is so refreshing. I love that Shane is an autistic freaky little slut. Because, yes! Autistic people can have sex! Shocking!
And what's better is that even though Shane is submissive, he's always treated both by Ilya and the narrative as an adult. He loves to be bossed about by Ilya and he loves to be gently bullied, but throughout it all, he's always respected and treated fairly. He is treated like an adult.
I think, in the beginning, that was likely one of the appeals to Shane about Ilya. At the start of the story, the two people he's closest to are his parents, and while David and Yuna are great, they're his parents, they still see him as their little boy, even as he's drafted into the NHL (sorry, the "MLH"). Yuna also doubles as Shane's manager, and she's obviously very protective of him. They never baby him in any way, but there's always that underlining... y'know, he's their baby, right?
With Ilya? He's just Shane. Being around Ilya was likely the first time Shane got to be someone outside of his parents' baby boy (and of course Mr. Canadian Hockey Dream Star).
There's something really empowering about seeing an autistic character being sexually active and being sexy and not having his autism being portrayed as detrimental to his sexual appeal!
something something Ilya wanting to keep the blinds open and be with Shane in the sunlight and not in the dark
"A moment that put things in perspective for me was when Liv Chu-Ouellette, on a stage surrounded by thousands, held up the Walter Cup. She was a month old when Les Canadiennes raised the banner for their 2017 Clarkson Cup championship at a 576-seat community rink"

I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.

I have always felt that the thing with Shane and Ilya, with both of them, is that the reason they figure out they're in love is because they just can't stop doing it. They can't stop seeing each other. They can't stop... telling each other, finding each other in a room. They just can't fucking stop. And so at a certain point, that's - that's not a year - that's why, six years in, you're like, I'm texting this guy again, I'm fucking still... all the time, I - I can't stop doing this. That is when you go, like, oh my god. I guess I have feelings. I guess. Like what else could possibly explain it? Like... other people have noticed that I've been texting the same person - even if it's a fake name in my phone - that I've been texting the same person for fucking seven years! You know, like that is... It becomes ludicrous to yourself to think that that doesn't mean anything.

i think every publisher should have to institute a ban on books that fail what i’m calling the “little life” and “what else?” tests
for reference.
had to do a little more reading:
I can’t think of another writer who is quite so universally beloved as Toni Morrison. Her work is magnificent, her legacy is unimpeachable,

idk why young people knotting is seen as a loser or antisocial thing tbh when i do it in public people seem happy to see it and sometimes they even stop to talk to me about it it's genuinely swret. okay now before i press post i want it to be known i noticed the typo just in the nick of time but decided to leave it anyway for the same reason some people keep the bullet that killed them as a memento of what couldve been for the rest of their lives
