Absolutely not a new observation but i love that the toki pona word for animal, "soweli," is written like this
fuck man that sure is
i showed this post to my boyfriend last time i saw it (because hes a linguistics nerd in general and a toki pona nerd in specific) and i am delighted to inform everyone that all the words for various types of animals are little fuckin dudes
something about george russell being hyperaware and vocal about track safety for himself and other drivers even if it slows him down, something about fernando giving franco colapinto advice his first week in, the mclaren boys continuing to be happy with each other even when the team screws them over, hamilton reminding motorsports spectators and competitors alike that kimi antonelli is still just a kid after all and has a long way to go, max and charles congratulating each other after almost every race even when one of them gets a win and the other gets something like their worst drive of the season, alex and oscar defending logan sargeant as having so much untapped potential even if hes no longer racing, pierre and seb going out of their way every year to honor drivers who have passed, esteban ocon going out of his way to welcome new drivers to the grid, kmag fighting tooth and nail to get nico hulkenberg one point, nico rosberg shredding team principals with poor team treatment on live television
f1 is gonna be okay

One possible nuance of the jedi's rules on sex/romance is that they're a lot more strict about any kind of political conflict of interests, so banging senators and royals is firmly off limits but it gets more lax the further out of the system you go. This is funny to me because it can produce a situation where, for example, Obi Wan can be tragically in love with Satine and Bail in the most private and chaste courtly romance sort of way, but also sleeping his way through every bounty hunter and scoundrel this side of the galaxy.
Seeing people shit on the GPDA and their statement…
These drivers are not dolls for you to play with. They are real people with problems and are actually exploited workers!!!
Breaking news!!! Anyone who doesn’t own the means of production (yes even in sports!) are exploited workers. Athletes (who are highly paid) are STILL exploited workers.
AGAIN: Athletes ARE exploited workers!!
They are used for their bodies for fans entertainment and to increase the bottom line of the team owners, FIA, and sponsors!
It is a really REALLY good thing they are advocating for their rights and exercising the agency they have as a group.
If you are making fun of their language/grammar or saying it should’ve been ghost written or that these drivers never went to school so their statement is nonsense—YOU ARE THE BAD GUY!!!
If you think they should’ve waited because the US just elected Trump again—actually multiple struggles against injustice can happen simultaneously!!! The drivers should not have to wait for the US election drama to quiet down before making a statement.
Workers’ struggles for justice can occur at any time they deem it necessary!!
Any worker—drivers included—should be applauded for standing up to the FIA and sporting bodies that are constantly pushing them down.
The GPDA is finally speaking as a collective body and we should be supporting them. If you REALLY care about these drivers as people that deserve justice and care and rights you should support their efforts to better their working environment.
you can discuss the problems within academia literally forever and you probably should but “historians are trying to keep information from you” is always going to be an anti-intellectual, reactionary opinion, sorry, literally no way around that
if you literally don’t even know what a professional historian does at work daily and you literally think it’s oppression for someone to ask you to crack open a book every now and then, i promise it’s not a historian’s fault why you don’t know anything
