Sharks Rookies Finally Score A Goal Together And React Very Normally

Ada Limón, from “The Hurting Kind,” in The Hurting Kind

[text ID: Before my grandfather died, I asked him what sort / of horse he had growing up. He said, / Just a horse. My horse, with such a tenderness it / rubbed the bones in the ribs all wrong. / I have always been too sensitive, a weeper / from a long line of weepers. / I am the hurting kind. I keep searching for proof.]

sketch: original!binghe finding original!shen yuan

after reading the bingge/bingmei extras, i imagined original!binghe going to another dimension and finding the original shen yuan. Like, just knocking on the lil dude's door all casual like?

and poor unsuspecting original!shen yuan, who's still deeper in denial than an african lungfish, opens the door and is immediately greeted by bingge's giant luscious man titties and then he has a heart attack and dies

just got a second official warning for my use of "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" on the OTW volunteer slack

people are also currently asking board to ban saying that the founding of israel was colonialism—equating this to saying racial slurs—and were complaining about my status back when it was "palestine will be free", too

suffice to say, fuck that place, don't give the OTW your money, and don't fucking volunteer there

(the second screenshot is from the warning I got a few days ago)

Okay favourite Yorg photos dump because I can only be contained for so long:

Luca on The Race MotoGP Podcast

“And about my life in general, I'm really happy to be tall because I'm more beautiful than the other riders. So it's fantastic. Thinking that I will not be a MotoGP rider, I go home and look at the mirror and then said: Okay, I struggle it, yes, but wow I'm beautiful and I can be an actor or a model for the future and it's not a problem.”

two palestinians from the west bank have died of torture within israeli custody. the number of palestinian prisoners in israeli prison, who are on administrative detention (which means they have not been charged with anything) in june 2023 was 1117, of which 18 were children. the number being held awaiting sentencing was 1158, of which 85 are children.

the number of overall prisoners in israeli prisons in june 2023 was 5,200 most of whom were held on political charges including just being in israel illegally. many are held on false grounds, in inhumane conditions, including minors. they are political prisoners—hostages. since october 7th, that number has doubled to 10,000. so far israel has notified that it has murdered two in its custody. in the west bank (which is not ruled by hamas) over 90 palestinians have been extra-judicially murdered by settlers and the IDF since october 7th.

israel also has a policy of withholding corpses of palestinians who die in its custody. it's called "post-mortem detention." israel says it only has this policy for hamas fighters, but it is not true. there are currently at least 80 corpses of palestinians withheld from families, and around 370 who were either buried in undisclosed locations or kept in the morgue. when they are released, families are given 30 minutes to bury their loved ones in the dead of night, supervised by israeli soldiers with a limited amount of family members in attendance.

[guy who keeps dying and coming back voice] Why does everyone look so upset lol

did you know that the well-known factoid that male anglerfishes degenerate after attachment until they’re basically just a pair of testes is false? i knew of course that they don’t just become “growths” on the female because I’ve handled dozens of attached pairs and every male I’ve ever seen has been very much obviously a whole and complete second fish, but I sort of assumed there was internal degeneration, perhaps muscle atrophy, etc. i can’t believe no one ever corrected me on this but this just doesn’t happen. in obligatorily parasitic species, the male actually continues to grow and increases considerably in size after he attaches to the female, because the two of them can only reach sexual maturity together. me, an octavia butler fan: is this the height of romance??

what is true is that attached males do have hugely enlarged testes proportionate to the rest of their bodies & organs, and that they receive all nutrition from the female’s bloodstream so their stomachs are always empty, though their own gills seem to still be functional, as are their fins and muscles—you can even induce movement and swimming motions on recently dead attached males. I can only assume that at some point someone said that basically the only biological function a male anglerfish needs to perform is sperm production and this got taken out of context and luridly exaggerated over time. he’s not just a pair of testicles! he’s her forever partner! one flesh one end!

when it comes to cele and bezz is there something that you especially want to explore in their dynamic or personality? i always feel like you have such fun interesting viewpoints and since these seem to be the guys of the month i got curious

omg i love this q it is so sweet and flattering!!!!!!! i learned literally everything i think from @baking-soda @f1vegas @restacks and @yekoc first of all lol. including italian translations and guided video watching of who each curly haired italian man is.

that being SAID, i am like. soooooo crazy into cele and bezz. their dynamic is like, what fanfiction was MADE for!!!!!! the broad strokes of what makes me feel so insane is it's like, yeah it's childhood best friends but there are so many layers and so much like CONTRASTS. like cele is a WEIRD NERD who wears SUNHATS and recounts all the different things his cool bros make fun of him for ("my hair, my socks, my sunglasses, and even my performance on the play station). bezz is a HOT BRO with a NIPPLE PIERCING and a BUNCH OF TATTOOS ABOUT HSI OWN RACES and a PITBULL. but also like cele loves clubbing and bezz has a lil rubiks cube luggage tag his aunt probably bought him!!

like i just think the three year age difference is so rich bc it's like, they became friends in minimoto when they were both babies but cele was like a TRU baby and bezz just liked him!! for no reason!!! and then they joined vale's insane werewolf au training camp and like, cele feels so grounded??? like obviously vale is his idol but cele's also just a spacey honest weirdo who tells vale "i packed my leathers......then i forgot them" while vale is like shrugging in an amused manner bc how did he become a middle school principal listening to a bad excuse for someone's missing science homework. but bezz is like. vale's favorite. literally looks like and has the same name as vale's tragically dead first protégé who he started the academy for. has so much to live up to and be right and is like, really fascinatingly anxious and fidgety and like. wants to be loved SO bad wants everyone to know how HARD he works and how much his SHOULDER HURTS but he's racing ANYWAY bc he's SO STRONG!! and then cele is a place where he can just like. be himself!!! be marco!!!! not try to be cool or a moto gp rider or vale's favorite, because he has such absolute trust in cele.

and i just am like, sooooooo invested in and emotional about how bezz wants/NEEDS to hug cele and touch him and hold him when he wins, how in these moments of insane adrenaline and emotional release he's just grabbing cele however he can, barely letting cele even hug pecco because he has to keep holding on. like what else does he want to do and not let himself do??? how's he gonna feel when someone ELSE realizes cele is like, the best and coolest person in the universe and has the most striking face and never is anything but himself??? i think bezz loves how stubborn cele is and how he has a steadiness in his core. and cele loves bezz because bezz is his cool hot best friend and because he can always make bezz laugh and because how could you not love someone who has loved you since you were a tiny nerd. and also bezz was like so hot (in a teen way don't cancel me) at like 18 and cele was still this insanely awkward 15 year old and you know cele was like, hopeless hopeless crush!!! but now it's not HOPELESS it's REAL!!
