I'm a new F1 fan and have F1 TV so because there will be the summer break after Belgian GP, I'm looking for recommendation of race replays to watch. So please drop them down in comments or in tags. I'd appreciate if you could state why you think the race is must watch/ should be an interesting to watch. Alternatively, I also accept Qualifying/sprint/ and FP recomendations.
So far, rewatched at least to some extent: 1998 and 2017 Monaco GP and 2021 Hungarian GP.
Thank you ❤️

Do you have any recommendations for books with positive representation of fat characters? I like SFF and queer characters, though neither of those are requirements
Hi! Sadly, most of the positive fat rep I know about is YA contemporary, not SFF. Followers, if you know more SFF/adult books, shout them out please! I too would be interested.
That said:
Julie Murphy's trilogy Dumplin', Puddin', Pumpkin covers various issues that fat teens have to deal with (beauty standards, career expectations, etc.) along with more universal teen things like dating, friendship, grief, parents who try to be supportive but don't get it, making bad choices and paying for them, and finding one's identity. Pumpkin itself is about a gay boy who gets nominated for prom queen as a gag and decides to own it.
I also really enjoyed Fat Girl on a Plane by Kelly Devos, which goes a step further than Dumplin' in discussing fat, identity, diet culture, and beauty standards. It's about the daughter of a model, who's always been interested in fashion and who decides to lose her "extra" weight in order to get ahead as a fashion blogger. Half of it is her before the weight loss, half of it's her after it, and there's a lot in that second part about how she's not actually happier or better off for having gone on the diet.
As for SFF, Maskerade and Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett feature a fat witch who's very believable (body image issues, trying to make herself smaller to please people until she sees that doesn't work) and a badass heroine in her own right.
I think the best rep I've seem in SFF has been in the Wayward Children books. There's a fat (sapphic) love interest in Down Among the Sticks and Bones and Come Tumbling Down and then there's Cora, who appears as a side character in Beneath a Sugar Sky and Come Tumbling Down before getting her own book in Where the Drowned Girls Go. Her perspective can get kind of grim and painful at times—she didn't have a happy childhood, her weight played into that, she's still dealing with the fallout—but weight isn't her problem now, she's athletic and smart and heroic, and you can tell it's #ownvoices representation, if that makes sense.
And then we have … One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, which barely mentions the MC's weight at all. I'm not going to pitch this because I think Booklr's talked it up enough. (For adult romances, I've also read One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London, which I thought was all right but nothing special. It's about a fashion blogger becoming the latest Bachelorette and all the stuff she contends with as she moves through the season.)
I'm sure I'm forgetting some book or other, though. I'm probably going to go "Ah yes, of course!" to the first person to add a rec. 😅

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"
#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility#but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion#that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone#i am an environmental educator#so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering#that people are going through#without doing my research and providing real ways to help#this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning#to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering#unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this#and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this#and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity#(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself#for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion#i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out#rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free#is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i#which is more than their CEOs can say

Basically, my philosophy around disability fakers is: I would rather a thousand people fake a disability than have one disabled person suffer without care, aids, compassion, or any help.

Actually I think we should talk about how incredibly fucked up it is for sapphic women to say shit like "I'm no better than a straight man 😔" when attracted to a woman in a way that isn't 100% pure and wholesome, or act like men's attraction to women is inherently dirty, predatory, or objectifying.

ARTISTS FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 - ROUND 2!! On the 16th and 23rd of March, I'll be doing art requests on stream with other notable artists to raise money for Operation Olive Branch and Project Watermelon.
This round's roster is very lucky to include notable webcomic artists like explodikid, Graveweaver, Curryuku and Speremint who respectively create Covenant, I'm The Grim Reaper, Not So Shoujo Love Story and Brimstone and Roses on WEBTOON. We also have Onstamonsta, an artist, streamer and Kiryu fan who Drawfee fans might recognise and the exceptionally talented Jessie Lam!
Last fundraising event was a great success, and I hope some of you might show up for this next round of streams. All money will be donated directly to Palestinian escape funds as the situation of Rafah is becoming exponentially worse (and if you'd like to donate directly, here's a link to a spreadsheet of over 750!)
As always, these fundraisers will always be available to watch over on my twitch channel. Thank you all and free Palestine!

"I respect you and won't stop you from being who you are" and "I'm not ready to call you by a new name and pronouns because it hurts me" can not co-exist when the speaker is your parent who has a huge amount of control over your life.

Hey!
Can you give me any recommendations for friends to lovers with opposite attracts and grumpy × sunshine trope, does this even execite anyway lately I've been reading a lot of ennimies to lovers so I wanna chill ,thank you have a good day.
Hi! I don't have all that many recs for you but check out:
Heartstopper by Alice Oseman - Lovely sweet, slow burn that goes from "person beside me in class" through friends to dating to growing intimacy. It also tackles coming out, mental health struggles, bullying, and similar true-to-life topics, which I loved but if you're looking for laughs and steamy bits, don't pick this up just yet.
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry - Funny and smart and poignant. Follows two college friends who've always done holidays together, until they stopped, and now they've reconnected for one last vacation. I loved that it's not quite linear and you get to see their friendship developing in flashbacks too.
Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly - Probably the most "fun time" and "modern contemporary romance" of my recs here. About two cooking show contestants who're stationed near each other and then romance ensues. Not technically friends-to-lovers because of that but if you want grumpy-sunshine, it's got it in spades.
Thanks for asking! Enjoy! (And followers, add on?)

i think it would be funny if people occasionally arose from the dead. like if that was a real-life one-in-a-million but well-documented Thing That Sometimes Happens, and the entire legal system around death (laws on inheritance & marriage & murder etc) had to include caveats for the unlikely-but-scientifically-possible event that the dead person in question might spontaneously self-resurrect, even years or decades after death. it would raise so many inconvenient and absurd possibilities
