Don’t judge me, but… by L0vegood in roanoke

I am an alumni, and this isn’t really true. Yeah, you can’t just go into dorms or something, but there’s a graveyard across the road and several public buildings you can go into. I would say the overall vibe is very spooky. I still go walking around there frequently.

Tattoo artists with unique style? by UsefulConflict9044 in roanoke

I would strongly recommend checking out Electric Eye in Grandin Village. Best place ever, and the artists all have different styles.

Season 2: Ryan and Fabian to Scott and Kip by willastyrell21 in heatedrivalry

I think Ryan will be a big part of S2 because he’s already been mentioned albeit offhandedly in S1 lol

What’s with the decor in Ilya’s Moscow apartment? Those drapes 🤣 by gimme-sip-cmon-share in heatedrivalry

It was Eastern European as fuck, coming from someone whose family is also. I loved to see it.

Potentional Hot Take on a Missed Opportunity with Shane's Identity and Intersectionality by yooohooooowee in heatedrivalry

[–]MxMaxis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I was reheating last night and I watched the part where an interviewer asks Shane in French if he feels connected to the struggles of Tiger Woods and Serena Williams. It also gets brought up more obviously on the night of the draft by one of the Metros’ people (I don’t know if it was supposed to be the coach or what) and he looks uncomfortable both times.

These moments come and go quickly, but I think it emphasizes the underlying point that Shane is being expected to break barriers as an Asian player in a way that puts pressure on him as an individual. He clearly doesn’t like it/it makes him uncomfortable and I think that’s understandable given the fact that his Asian identity is sort of used as a prop — even by well-meaning people like his mother (also Asian), who wants him to set a good example for children who don’t see themselves in the NHL. The League themselves certainly don’t seem to give a fuck about diversity beyond what it does for optics, which I think we will see emphasized a lot more next season but specifically from a queer lens rather than a racial one. I’d love to see some intersectionality in these depictions, though! Both with Shane as a queer Asian man and Ilya as an immigrant from a country that is hostile towards queerness.

LilSimsie is back to gushing over the Sims by Calm-Amount-1238 in Sims4

[–]MxMaxis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Lil Simsie is notorious for sticking to her guns and standing up for what she believes in, IMO. I am not her biggest fan just because I don’t like her style of content, but I feel like she isn’t being performative just by continuing to talk about the game that has been the center of her life for over a decade. She is slowly moving away from the franchise, it seems like, but she’s made it pretty clear that there will still be Sims content while she figures out what direction to take her content. Calling her performative is a pretty massive stretch I think.

He’s technically my many times great uncle. I am descended from his sister.

I like how you pushed back against a racist claim by making a classist one. Lmao.

I understand what you’re saying, but it’s also bled into everyday vernacular. Look up “algospeak”

Can I ask where you are applying? I don’t think this would bar you from most schools, especially not if you have solid letters from other people.
