Lots of discourse around Heated Rivalry but I haven't seen the most important point, which is that pining while fucking is the greatest trope in the world

Seattle Renews Its Unique Approach to Public Campaign Financing The democracy vouchers program hands residents $100 to donate to local candidates and it’s credited with broadening civic involvement. Voters on Tuesday extended it by 10 years.

Despite several attempts to export the idea, Seattle remains the only U.S. city with a democracy vouchers program, which provides money to residents to donate to the local candidates of their choice.

Depression is a raggedy bitch. That bitch got hands though. So you can’t beat yourself up when it’s whooping you too.

For #TWC46, @katiedidnt.bsky.social reviewed @tbaudinette.bsky.social's "Boys love media in Thailand"! Morrissey states that Baudinette "asks [us] to problematize [our] assumptions about queer media, embrace ambiguity, & resist older theoretical frameworks". Read the review here:

Hahaha yes he definitely looks 35 but was celebrating his 26th birthday at one point?? But I do love the sweetness of Scott and their dynamic. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I am a little lukewarm on Kip but I looooove Scott so I’m here for it right now at least. I do think it was a weirdly and hilariously fast arc. Like, that was basically a whole fic’s worth of relationship arc in a single episode! πŸ˜‚ Why was that necessary? So IDK. We’ll see what they do?

Whenever people talk about how great TV shows often have unsatisfying endings, I bring up Due South as one that bucked the trend and is absolutely perfect

One thing I cannot stand is how headcanons and personal interpretations of Canon (which are NOT the same thing) become truth worth hurting others over in way too many fandom spaces.

It's already iffy to try and harm folks over fiction but to do it over shit you fully imagined in that fiction?
