After their statement, I think this is the right call, one I'm not sure i would've been a decent enough person to make in your place. Chapeau

That is, if that's an option, because I have no idea how these things work. If you can't talk about this in public without naming the award (and ideally the other author), I think stepping away might be the better call

I think if you were longlisted for the same category, bowing out with a clear (and if possible, public) statement about why would be the right call.
Since it's different categories, I feel like it's better to stay in there and not cede any ground, but address the situation publicly and explicitly

I love it, it's like "What if Hitler had gotten into art school" but on a much pettier level

Ich habe noch zwei ungeöffnete Flaschen Sekt die ich von der Arbeit geschenkt bekommen hab, sag Bescheid wenn du Nachschub brauchst

My sister and I were watching it together and talking on discord (different cities) and a few minutes before that scene she went "I'm gonna pause here, I don't need to see that part again, tell me when it's over"

I'm like "when WHAT is over?!"

And she just goes "oh, you'll know"

Thank you, and also Jesus Christ

Completely agree, and not trying to derail this, but what's the chilli sauce in mascara thing?

I was 15 years old when I began to realize that Germany's relationship with our Nazi past was - to put it mildly - deeply and dangerously flawed.
I have a lot of complicated feelings on post-war history and the way we compartmentalize the atrocities of Nazi Germany, so this essay *really* hit home

When I played ME3 for the first time, I went renegade, because I played the first two right before and had already done them as paragon twice.
I shot mordin.
No, I have not forgiven myself.

"It would be misguided to be kind or even polite to one of its editors. One has to be as harsh to them as the law just about permits. They are bad people who do wrong."

A quote from German writer Max Goldt, translation in the post

German writer Max Goldt once said this about them: "Bild is an institution of malice. It is wrong to read it. Someone who contributes to this paper is completely socially inacceptable."
1/2

Just adding context as a german, BILD is an absolutely rancid rag that holds the record for receiving the most reprimands from the german press council, I think it's around 30% of them.
Bild publishing this didn't become nearly as much of a scandal in Germany as it should've been

Thinking of a line from a dresden dolls song: "yes, the lights are staying out, but no sweat, I got aim like a mack truck"

I know people on the internet will say all kinds of nonsense, but "Julia Serano is a terf" is probably one of the wildest things I've heard recently

Picture shows my bookshelf with the expanse series hardcovers on them, between other sci-fi series. There is also a crocheted porg sitting on the books.

Oh yeah, I've read them and really enjoyed the whole series, I just gotta read them again!

I pretty much never watch shows, but god damn I gotta reread those books!

But thanks for offering!

I love the font, but if it's called Protomolecule, I assume it's custom made for the show? I've made it a rule not to install any fonts on my PC that I can't use in my work, because I don't wanna run the risk of accidentally using something in a commissioned piece that I don't have the rights to!

I haven't seen the expanse, but that font looks rad!
what is it?

I thought so too, but they found that offensive. I don't support their lifestyle obviously, so I include them in my nightly prayers to lady gaga

They are actually, and I think it's really irresponsible of you to erase their experiences like this! Some of my best friends are straight

When faced with a choice between devoting your time to science or to being the most stylish motherfucker in town, I hope we can all be as brave and committed as him

Love how it sorta matches the nails

It's alright, I couldn't let you suffer alone, no sacrifice is too great for solidarity

I went out yesterday and got a sunburn myself, i solidarity. Now my shoulders and arms hurt and look horrible, you're welcome

Let's be honest, at least among your followers you're known for the most horrifying and wonderful puns

Honestly, that's a good outlook. Neither of us can really impact the world all that much, but we can decide how we spend the time we have, and what we put out to other people. And it always puts a smile on my face to see your photos on my timeline

That's fair, but you still took a good photo, for example, i don't have any eye for composition when I'm behind a camera, I couldn't have taken this
