Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

HANAMAKI TAKAHIRO

I seriously have no words to defend them with, to be honest. What I can say though, is that despite their abrasiveness towards each other sometimes, they cared deeply for each other.

LGBT+ marriages weren’t widely acknowledged nor legalized yet back then, so Oikawa’s main concern was that Iwaizumi would slowly resent him the longer they were engaged, because he would keep it a secret to keep his career healthy. They could still technically get married regardlessβ€”the antagonists here were the big-name sponsors who liked to pay lip service to allyship but would subtly give their LGBT+ champions worse pay, and not the fans who would have Oikawa's back no matter what happenedβ€”but Oikawa brought up another concern: how he might be getting in the way of Iwaizumi’s wish to live the ideal married life. Oikawa just became an Argentinian citizen, Iwaizumi still lived in California, and neither of them had plans of settling down in one place anytime soon. Oikawa's volleyball career was far from over, and marriage was not in the forefront of his mind, unlike it had been in Iwaizumi’s.

(spoiler oikawa just says he's not constantly in touch with iwaizumi anymore cos hes not yet allowed to tell the public he's married to a man)

(Restricted) Knockout
by HomegrownSun
Summary:
Oikawa provoked Iwaizumi-san to swing first. He grazed Oikawa-san on the cheek sloppily, missing his jaw. Oikawa-san sent a weaker punch back, a poor excuse of an uppercut that didn't even touch Iwaizumi-san's chin. It was then that Iwaizumi-san caught Oikawa-san by the wrist and held him in place so he could go at the jaw again, a blow that finally landed. Oikawa-san fought back by grabbing Iwaizumi-san's hair and pulling hard before throwing another punch.
-
Following the 2024 Olympics, a famous volleyball player and an athletic trainer punching each other got caught on camera, and videos showing different angles of the altercation went viral. Fifteen years later the pair’s friends finally share the entire story.

Notes:
In response to a prompt by mozaikmage in the The Haikyuu Fic Idea Orphanage collection.

"Freedom for Palestine" written in light blue in arabic. Growing from the letters are little branches with green leafs, red and orange flowers and yellow bulbs, which are surrounded by a  blue frame with white flowers with a  red middle. They are drawn in the style of traditional pottery from al-Khalil (Hebron).

The sun is setting over the horizon. The trees and the grass look less green and more black, as shadows descend over the highway. The road is dark; ahead, there are arrow signs warning drivers that there's a curve coming up. Across the road, a car speeds by.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
