I used to write things. Now I rant about League of Legends on the LCS broadcast. Unexcited KT Rolster fan and ten of the most boring people you know. Defunct(?) anime blog: https://formeinfullbloom.wordpress.com/ she/her
Watching the America's Cup Final and Mlxg mentioned. ^ ^

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh
I'm still mad that he didn't technically have a team at the start of the split, especially after the 100T run and his Worlds performance.
Thank you!!!
Awww super happy for Lyon!!! You can tell by their reactions just how much this win means for all of the players, especially Saint, Isles, and Dhokla. ^ ^
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
I should add, this is in relation to having a forward-facing job. I don't have to pretend to be alright in...life. I can just be mad and sad. ^ ^;
Increasingly often, it's very difficult to pretend to be alright.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
I'm so fucking sick of and from all of this.
"Si la vie humaine n'a pas de prix, nous agissons toujours comme si quelque chose dépassait, en valeur, la vie humaine... Mais quoi ?"
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.
as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...
(some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)
the dissonance between successful adult media crackdowns and the failure to prosecute politicians and leaders for connections to epstein will never get old for me.
it’s so transparent how much states want to censor free expression but not actually tackle systemic abuse by the rich and powerful.
There's very little chance that I will leave a lasting legacy of note outside of my immediate friends and family (even in esports I'll be a blip on the radar). All I can do is do better to make my existence a net positive in said immediate friends/family groups and local communities.
Also this quote from Barret still slaps
I've been thinking a lot about Reeve Tuesti again and kind of want to write an addendum to this post I wrote years ago: formeinfullbloom.wordpress.com/2020/05/27/s...
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.
They can't even escape this by moving to another state.
This was Game 1 of iG/WBG.
Haven't posted one of these in a while but today in LPL gold graphs...
If you're old enough to have watched .hack//Sign you should probably be more worried about .back//Pain

Apropos of nothing, a reminder ^ ^;;;; bsky.app/profile/emil...
I don't think anyone outside of New England can truly understand what a stranglehold the Blizzard of '78 has on the memory of a generation.
Me: talking to my parents during any major snowstorm
Them: "This is just like/not as bad as the Blizzard of '78!"
Good morning
You haven't lived until you and your idiot friends are doing a tournament where you can only use remote mines on Archives.
