The. Lance. "News". Is. Rumour.

More than likely it came from scotty's tiktok comments, hardly reliable. The riding one handed thing? How would anyone even know that, Henry, the guy who goes out on bikes with him, isn't there. Mike, the team boss, has reported its only one hand and has nothing about a break. A break in one wrist nevermind both would not be classed as a "minor injury"

#lance stroll #Honestly it really feels like people in the media want him to be more injured than he is #And look call me all the names you want but when the reported saying this is Brazilian and the guy replacing Lance is also brazilian #I have my doubts on the impartiality of the reporting #And the sources like ffs #The ONLY place two broken wrists has been mentioned is on tiktok #In the comments sections from a notorious jokester #On Monday it was a cast on one wrist and suddenly both are broken? #Maybe just listen to the team? #I'm sick of the way people have been going on with this honestly #As soon Lance is involved all empathy goes out the fucking window

My betrotheds mom is big in the SCA and does tons of hand sewing and period accurate clothes, she’s got several custom made outfits and enters competitions with her special projects.

One of them she meticulously researched and created a custom glove. I have no idea how much work goes into such a thing other than A Lot but whenever she tells us stories about these competitions she’s always slighted in favor of flashier offerings.

Her most recent endeavor was some kind of stiff collar. I’m not going to embarrass myself pretending to know the specifics but the original ones back in the day used layers of fabric and whale baleen to get a nice strong silhouette. She researched the crap out of it and wrote up a report to go along with the item.

At the judging one of the judges commented, “Well, it’s alright, but it’s so disappointing that it’s not fully authentic, why didn’t you use whale baleen?”

She sputtered out, “Well, if you’d read my report you’d know it’s because it’s illegal!”

#ramblies #sca #like imagine someone being like ‘why didn’t you use ivory to construct this?’ #it is a bit hard to tell with her sometimes cause she’s a very unreliable narrator and has a tendency to feel slighted #but in this case I’m 1000% sure the judge just cattily asked why she didn’t use illegally source whale parts for her crafting project #funny #story #ffs foibles

No matter how weird the questions are that Neil Gaiman gets (or for the matter we see because he answered them), I would like to remind everyone, that having around 80.000 asks in your inbox gives you a lot to choose from.

Meaning, that Neil Gaiman probably actively chooses from these 80.000 questions what he answers.

So for the love of god, stop bullying the people asking "cringe" questions. They probably didn't expect to get an answer anyways, and Neil chose to answer them.

#good omens #the sandman #← tagging these because they're the most frequent 'cringe question' source #neil gaiman #just think of the weird bot questions you get and decide not to answer #it's not like he's obliged to answer those questions #this is just a theory tho maybe he keeps answering them because they're the first and he kinda made a system #I'm by all means not all knowing #just a hypothesis #maybe you know or think that too but I saw enough notes and tags that say that at least a small group does the same #and if you don't like a question you don't have to react to it ffs

There is another group of men who live, and often suffer, with breasts. Unlike gynecomastia patients, these men are transgender. Assigned female at birth, they identify as, transition to, and live as their true male gender. It is common for transgender men to report dissociative feelings toward their chest. Many trans men develop personalized terminology to re-gender their body parts; it's common for trans guys to think of their chest exclusively as their chest, without using the word "breasts" to describe that part of their body.

Some non-transgender men who have gynecomastia also manipulate gendered language to describe their gender nonconforming bodies. Specifically, these guys use acutely masculine terms to talk about their breasts. One user on a popular gynecomastia forum underwent surgery to have his breasts removed. He wrote about the experience with sports terms, stating, "I had two liters of fat removed from each breast, and a hockey puck of estrogen, or whatever." Another described his breasts as if fast food: "The amount of tissue for each breast was about the size of a quarter pounder burger from McDonalds."

None of the men that I spoke with felt like their gynecomastia was a gender issue. "I feel the need to say [that] I've never had any complex with my gender. My case with gynecomastia was no different to the mindset of someone who wants to remove an ugly scar, birthmark, or lump," Sam told me.

Brian is also in his twenties, and he lived with gynecomastia for many years before having it surgically removed. "Gender was never really something I contemplated in any sense of the word I guess," he told Broadly in an email. "When I developed gynecomastia, I was embarrassed by it and sometimes made fun of for it, but I never felt like 'less of a man.'" He said that he never felt the need to be manly. But he and Sam both felt a need to correct a part of their body that they had come to see as abnormal, something that caused them some degree of mental anguish. Though they don't feel aware of the way that gender relates to their experiences, it is arguably intrinsic. "Gender didn't become more important after puberty," Brian said. "I never really paid attention to the idea. It just was."

"Feminists and critical race theorists have long argued that this is how privilege works," Blum said. "Just as most whites don't experience themselves as having a race, [cisgender] men seldom experience themselves as having a gender." The sense of anxiety, insecurity, or disconnect that men with gynecomastia experience toward their chests can resemble the way that transgender men experience gender dysphoria. Both groups deserve to live without that anguish, and to have healthcare that recognizes the difference between cosmetic and medically necessary plastic surgery—but they also deserve to live in a society where their bodies are not deemed abnormal.

#gynecomastia #transgender #disagree slightly with the point about medically necesary versus cosmetic surgery #I think that 'cosmetic surgery' is a very politicised term #in how it's used to diminish trans related medical procedures #so when people agree wo this dichotomy of 'there's medically necesary and then there's vanity surgeries' I'm always hesitant #like is body contouring or FFS cosmetic or medically necersary? #does it matter? #but other than that very important point that we as trans people aren't alone in our experiences of our bodies #and our experiences of dysphoria can be a source of empathy and deeper understanding of those outside our community

The more I read about Patroclus' actual characterization in the Iliad, the more my distaste for Madeline Miller's version of him grows.

Like lady, how do you take this MAN who was a formidable, seasoned warrior with a body count that was CANONICALLY greater than that of Achilles', a briliant strategist and an army medic, charming as all hell, bisexual as fuck AND rips apart Zeus' goddamn son with his bare fucking hands and turn him into whatever the fuck TSOA Patroclus was???!?

With all due respect, Patrochilles aren't your run of the mill yaoi couple and the only reason I can see for her to "feminize" Patroclus was to make two WARRIORS who canonically had a balanced dynamic between them to forcefully fit into the done and dusted, absolutely fetishizing seme/uke (erastes and eromenos, if you will) trope. And this is just sad because had she been true to the original characterizations, it would've made for a vastly more interesting retelling and not a book that basically glorifies and justifies Achilles' horrible deeds and makes Patroclus a dumb simp who can't see anything wrong with his boyfriend's actions.

#I didn't mind the characters when I first read the book because I had like negative knowledge about the actual source material #But now that I'm a little wiser than before I fucking hate this aspect of the book with all my fucking heart #She did Patroclus so fucking dirty like you don't have to diminish one HERO to elevate the other FFS #they were both masc warriors who were also toxic and misogynist (like most Greek men around that time) what's so fucking hard to understand #Ugh #we could've gotten battle boyfriends but instead we got a pseudo-hetereosexual romance with Madeline's male OC #fuck this shit I'm so mad about it #the song of achilles #madeline miller #anti tsoa #tsoa critical #patrochilles #Achilles #Patroclus

"...Walsingham, the monastic author of the St. Albans Chronicle, was by far [Alice Perrers'] harshest contemporary critic, who in his venom has (somewhat ironically) left us with the longest and most detailed account of her background and personality, her influence as Edward’s mistress, and her subsequent trial. He describes Alice as a shameless lowborn meretrix (a word variously translated as mistress, whore, or harlot), who “brought almost universal dishonour upon the king’s reputation […] and defiled virtually the whole kingdom of England with her disgraceful insolence.” Although Walsingham was not always accurate and, specifically in this case, clearly heavily biased against Alice, he nevertheless provides a truly contemporary account, and his importance as a source should not be underestimated. Likewise, the anonymous monk of St. Mary’s York recorded that in the Good Parliament the Commons (represented by their speaker, Sir Peter de la Mare) stated that it “would be of great gain to the kingdom to remove the said dame [Alice] from the presence of the king both as a matter of conscious and of the ill prosecution of the war.” During the same assembly, the bishop of Rochester, Thomas Brinton, preached from St. Paul’s Cross that “it is not fitting nor safe for all the keys of the kingdom to hang from the belt of one wife.” Although the word wife (uxoris) is used, it is widely accepted that this is a reference to Alice.”

#alice perrers #historicwomendaily #my post #edward iii #@ anon who asked me how much faith should we put in Walsingham's account of Alice #Walsingham is undoubtedly vicious and prejudiced (and thus not always accurate - perhaps deliberately so) where Alice is concerned #But he is also a direct contemporary eyewitness and is thus invaluable as a source. His importance can never be emphasized enough. #More importantly however - the image of Alice as a transgressive woman with improper influence who 'hijacked' the kingdom #is not merely painted by Walsingham or limited to his account #It's how these other sources - the monk at St. Mary's and the Bishop of Rochester - depicted her as well #('it is not fitting nor safe for all the keys of the kingdom to hang from the belt of one wife' is pretty telling in more ways than one) #as did contemporary literature of the time like Chaucer's 'Wife of Bath' and William Langland's Lady Meed in 'Piers Plowman' #the whole point of the Good Parliament & the Parliament after Edward III's death was to simultaneously restrict her influence & punish her #So...I'd say Walsingham's image of Alice (unfortunately) tracks with how she was widely perceived at the time #Of course that doesn't mean that this image shouldn't be reassessed and recontextualized #Misogyny and classism very demonstrably played a huge role in how Alice was regarded by contemporaries #Ormrod has also pointed out that no matter the extent of Alice's influence she would ultimately always be limited by the practical #reality of being a woman and a commoner #'Her sex and status simply did not allow her the regular and acknowledged access to power enjoyed by politically ambitious male favourites' #It is not impossible that she was 'a symbol rather than a cause' of the crisis in Edward III's late reign #And of course it's true that WERE people who defended her publicly and privately even after Edward's death as Walsingham himself admits #She can't have been as universally detested as most people think #(we should also consider Walsingham's deriding comment about her 'seductiveness' ie: she was probably very witty and charismatic) #But ofc none of this change the fact that Walsingham's image of Alice's 'impropriety' transgressiveness was a widespread one #Nor does it change the fact that this image was fundamentally rooted in the very real and impressive power she had #Alice WAS proactive and acquisitive and wildly influential (Edward III listened to her over several of his own children ffs) #She DID have more power and visibility than any other royal mistress in medieval England #She DOES seem to have acted in ways that would have been perceived as 'inverting queenship' #*That's okay*. Alice's actions & image should absolutely be recontextualized and given more sympathy than they are #but I have absolutely no intention of diminishing or downplaying them either. That's why I love her so much.

i love those posts thats like “Imagine in your f/o’s universe they f/o You! and they consume content of your source all the time!” cause i love thinking about what kind of source material i’d be in that universe

#raven’s source is a slice-of-life sitcom animated work in the same vein as aggretsuko #a d i lose it when i think about like #maybe her show is known intergalactically and raditz watches it between missions in the ff #or maybe michael got watched her show while he was in smithsgrove

Guess I’m starting a tag bc I cannot be stopped.

The AGONY of the faint leitmotif of “leaves on the vine” while iroh talks about how he owes Zuko 😭😭😭😭😭😭

#I’m on episode 4 now and GENUINELY do not understand where all the hate is coming from #no it’s not as good as the source material and that’s fine #that doesn’t make it bad #I think theyve made a lot of very smart decisions as far as adaptation goes #like centering multiple plots within Omashu. that’s smart as fuck! #and sure there’s not as much breathing room for filler but the characters?? are still?? having mini side quests??? #ffs TAO is here. that in and of itself is shocking #also they are straight up burning people alive on screen on the regular. #I think this adaptation has already justified itself by casting literal children and just. letting them face the horrors of war #it’s easy to forget how young these characters are when animated but it’s fucking hard NOT to be constantly reminded #when watching actual 12 and 14 year olds. #azula hasn’t done much yet but fuck dude. THATS A CHILD! THATS A MIDDLE SCHOOL CLIQUE! #also maybe I’m overly forgiving of the younger actors being a little stiff and awkward. but like. they’re kids. it’s okay. #apple talks #apple reacts to Netflix atla

#so i live in an apartment block #and one (or some) of my neighbours have started smoking cannabis recently (or something that smells similar) #i say ''have started'' because i haven't noticed anything until a couple of weeks ago #sometimes i can smell tobacco in the staircase but it has never really spread to my apartment #but the pot? my hallway REEKS of it #(=inside my actual apartment!!!!!) #and look. i could not give less shits about what someone chooses to smoke in their freetime #but PLEASE don't subject me to it ffs🤢 #i have a suspicion which neighbour it might be but i'm not 100% sure so i guess there's not much i can do about it #however. the smell is so strong that it would make sense it's from a nearby apartment #and considering my next-door neighbour had a couple of visits from the police last spring... 😐 #i know i'm not the only one bothered by the smell judging by the notes some of my neigbhours have left on the noticeboard of the building #i think these notes (''heippalappu'') are somewhat useless though because 1) the neighbour to whom it's directed may never even see it #and 2) even if they did i doubt it would make them stop smoking indoors #because i don't think it's a case of them not realising the smell might affect others #it's more a case of just being a dick and not giving a fuck about other people #just now i googled ''what to do when my neighbour smokes pot'' lol #but i couldn't really find anything useful for this particular situation where i can't be sure from which apartment the smell comes from 😑 #and i don't really feel like snooping around behind my neighbours' doors like a sniffer dog to figure out where's the source of the smell #i live on the 3rd floor and as i said my main suspect is my next-door neighbour #and someone in the heippalappu was also suspecting a 3rd floor resident (''you know who'' they had written) #but then someone else had written they think it comes from the 4th floor so 🤷‍♀️ #unless it was the pot-smoker themselves bluffing 🤔 #i did find a reddit thread (in finnish) in which some people are like ''it's just a smell. deal with it'' #ah! so i'm supposed to just tolerate the smell of pot inside my apartment! even though it's fucking disgusting! okay thanks!!!!!! #AITA for being bothered by pot smell inside my apartment caused by my neighbour lol
