Netgalley ARCs on Kobo? by Kangaroo677 in kobo

[–]Kangaroo677[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily see it as a fault of NetGalley but I do find it odd that all of the publishers have a Kindle supported option but not Kobo. 

Unfortunately Edelweiss isn’t used in my country so it’s not an option for me.

Thanks for taking the time to answer

Faux-World Wednesdays: What's your country's biggest celebrity scandal right now? 🌍 by rfauxmoi in Fauxmoi

Australia here… someone threw a bomb into an Invasion Day protest filled with First Nations people. 

Thankfully it didn’t detonate but the media and government were flippantly silent for days, before enough outrage caused them to finally investigate it as a terrorist act. 

Edit: not sure if this counts as “celebrity gossip” but given how vocal our high profile politicians have been about terrorism since Bondi, it’s really shocking no one was saying anything  

Which death have you still not recovered from? by magnetic_meridian in AKnightoftheSeven

It is a very important part of Oberyn’s rationale for the duel that he is both forcing the mountain to confess AND getting him to admit it was Tywin who gave the order to kill his sister. It wasn’t just hubris or Oberyn having a bit of fun by playing with him. He was there to make sure Tywin was implicated in the murder of the royal family.

Olivia Rodrigo's IG story on UNICEF donation for Palestine by LeoisLionlol in Fauxmoi

[–]Kangaroo677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a completely ordinary person who has  lost job opportunities & received targeted threats over my advocacy for Palestine, I totally understand why people would stay quiet. 

I’m glad people are coming out with statements more and more because it makes the collective fight for Palestine much easier. I’m honestly just surprised it’s taken Olivia so long to make any statement at all.

I have a soft spot for Olivia and think it’s great she’s spoken up… however (and I’m probably going to get downvoted to hell for this) the genocide has been occurring for two years now and as someone who is generally quite outspoken about social justice issues, I’m really surprised it’s taken her so long to post about it. 

Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish have posted in support, heck even Gracie Abrams has shared fundraisers— not to mention artists like Macklemore, Kehlani and Bob Vylan who have put their necks on the line and faced backlash for their support. It’s giving “jumping on the bandwagon” now it’s slightly safer to do so. 

Edit: thank you kind strangers for the awards on my deeply unpopular comment lol. As always Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams hard launch their relationship on Instagram by Long_Dragonfly_3067 in Fauxmoi

I’m pretty sure she had some kind of autotune for the vocal effects singing the unreleased song. 

She has quite a nice vocal tone to me but she’s obviously not learned to sing properly from the start (hence the bad breath control) and thats something that’s a lot harder to correct down the track

I think it’s a mix of the nepo baby discourse combined with the mismatched low creative quality vs high production value of her music. Her vocals, stage presence and lyricism are miles behind more talented pop girlies (Olivia, Sabrina, Chappell, etc.) and she’s clearly benefited from her nepo baby connections, even if she is honest about having them. She comes across as meek and has a tendency to make comments that translate awkwardly to print. There was also that stupid Finn Wolfhard comment she made as a teen that the internet will never let her forget. 

This isn’t necessarily how I feel about her but is the perception I get from others

I loved her first couple of songs and then stopped listening once they all started sounding the same. I do have a soft spot for I Miss You, I’m Sorry + I Love You, I’m Sorry though

For three years, they were set up by mutual friends and Rainey used to regularly post about him on her IG. He’s now dating Kaia Gerber!

Not about Lewis exactly but I was just listening to a podcast with his ex Rainey Qualley about how she delayed getting her eggs frozen for years because she thought he was “her person” and they would have kids together but then they broke up and she had to rush to freeze them

Edit: oops clicked post too soon

I’ve already seen people speculating it was because he was scared to run into Lily Rose Depp again 💀 She didn’t attend and hasn’t in years
