I think Costco should sponsor an F1 team... The question is which one

[firestormsandlightning]

Somehow there are actually fans upset that George Russell wants Formula 1 to implement an automated safety system that will suspend racing after incidents where crashed cars are stranded on the track.

Let me make one thing very clear: drivers already put their lives on the line every single time they get in their cars, they do not owe it to anyone to stay silent when measures can be taken to mitigate further risk.

Have we learned nothing from the t-bone crashes that took the lives of Dilano van 't Hoff and Anthoine Hubert?

If the only type of racing you enjoy is one where the drivers are in more danger than they should be, I can safely say that you are not a real fan.

Fellas, fellas

Why on earth are you BUYING PHYSICAL HARDBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION????

ACTUALLY WHY ARE YOU EVEN MAKING HARDBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION TO SELL?!?!?!

IF ANY OF YOU DO EITHER OF THESE THINGS, GET OUT!! I AM NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN.

In all seriousness though, authors on AO3 have begun to pull their works off of the site to avoid getting sued by people stealing their works to make a pretty bound book for profit. Entire accounts could be shut down as well.

Listen, I’m all for saving favorite works by printing them out and putting them in a binder, or learning how to make a book for a fanfic, but seeking them is where I draw the line.

Literally the entire point of AO3 is that you can read it FOR FREE.

It is DISRESPECTFUL for people to make money off of hardbound copies because guess what, the original creators of these fics get nothing. We are literally only writing fanfiction for our own pleasure.

Buying and selling book-bound fanfiction is also ILLEGAL YOU DUMB SHITS. It’s an immediate violation of copyright law. The original fan work will get erased from the internet.

Fanfiction is already a legal grey zone since they are works being written about are protected by copyright. Copyright holders can in fact go after writers as well as the person who sold the fanfiction.

This also goes for people who steal fanart and, claim it as theirs, and put a price on it.

Don’t make it worse.

Bookbinding fanfiction for profit is literally ruining things for everyone. DON’T.

margot robbie not being nominated for best actress and greta gerwig not nominated for directing for barbie ??????

The patriarchy really does win because how can Oscar voters nominate Ryan Gosling as Ken but not nominate Margot Robbie as Barbie and Greta Gerwig for directing?

Very happy that America Ferrera got a nomination though, she deserved it!

Formula 1 is quite literally built on connections. The fact that out of all those connections the person being scrutinized for no reason other than her marriage because of one report is Susie Wolff just strikes me as extremely wrong. There are so many ways and so many people that Toto Wolff could have (allegedly) gotten his hands on information through that did not involve his wife

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Wow. Goncharov came out fifty years ago. It feels like it was just a year ago that I first laid eyes upon it

[Image ID: The image shows Bugs Bunny in a tuxedo on the right side and on the left side there is a text which reads 'I wish all Goncharov enjoyers a very 1 (the one is crossed out) 50 year anniversary'. /End ID]
