You can’t make this up 😭
i hate how "being a girl's girl" has replaced feminism. I hate that enforced conformity has replaced genuine compassion for and solidarity with other women. I hate how women call each other "pick me's" for not conforming to femininity or for daring to critique something other women like. I hate how we just keep finding new socially acceptable ways to bully other women for being unattractive or outspoken or difficult or complicated or weird or ambitious or for not performing femininity. I hate those front facing camera "comedians" whose whole thing is making up a straw-woman to make fun of. I hate the obsession with "girlhood" and clinging to being a girl instead of a woman. i hate "the girl version of the roman empire" and "girlhood" and it's just consumerism and I hate the characterisation of girlhood as passivity, niceness, sweetness, helplessness and frivolity and I hate the revival of gender essentialism even as a joke!!!
average experience watching scuderia ferrari do anything
THIS.
Exactly thiss. Why are people acting like McLaren will let lando walk all over piastri? If you know McLaren then you know damn well what kind of team they are and their ethos. Some of u piss me off so fucking bad. If lando wins the wdc IT IS FULLY DESERVED. "He would be the worst champion" "got handed it on silver platter" NO, do you understand how big +60 pts difference is? If he wins the wdc, it will be because he did his best to win it.

Found this edit about how the grid's not going to be the same next year and I actually almost cried. And yes I know, having four new rookies will be crazy entertaining, and that combined with all the team changes will create fun new rivalries and friendships (and maybe more Charles Leclerc adoptions👀) but like. What do you mean next year there won't be Charlos or Haasbands or Britcedes or Pierresteban. What do you mean Zhou and Valtteri are both gone. What do you mean Franco's time in F1 is almost up. What do you mean there are only three races left with this grid dynamic we've all grown to love. WHAT DO YOU MEAN????? 😭😭

For the people saying the McLaren is illegal... Just a little reminder of what F1 technical side is about.
F1 technical rules are enforced through tests and inspections of the car. If a car passes the tests and inspections, it's legal.
Teams have ALWAYS worked to find the limit of the regulations. Most of the time by going the closest to the limit or finding loopholes in the rules.
All the teams have, at one point, been caught either going over the limit or doing something that wasn't prohibited but didn't fit the "spirit" of the rules. It will happen again.
F1 is first and foremost a technical sport! Finding the limit and loopholes is what teams are meant to do, especially if they want to beat the others and have the money to do so.
FIA has always implemented new rules or asked for adaptations based on the loopholes found by the teams.
All these elements make what is happening with McLaren more common than some seem to believe.
McLaren respected the rules but they found a loophole. FIA learned about it and considered that, as much as the car was respecting the rules (and was LEGAL), it wasn't following the spirit of the rules.
That is why McLaren is asked to change his car and is not receiving any penalty! So if you're anti-McLaren and you want to rejoice about that, fine. But for me, it's important to understand the difference between an illegal element and one that is "at the limit".
max has always been fascinated by the way the tifosi treat charles. it's fanatical, pure insanity, the way they grasp for him, hands reaching out to touch. and that was before charles won the WDC, way before, even back then when they still had seb in ferrari.
he has seen the jokes, the cursed jesus!charles picture and tifosi kneeling in front of it, he has seen babies handed to charles as if they're asking for a blessing- he has seen many things, which just prove to him how much the tifosi love charles. they love him more than seb, more than schumacher, heck, on some days one might think they love him more than ferrari.
but the insane thing is... charles loves them equally back. he bleeds red, he drives red, he dreams red, he wins red. it's his color, mind, body, heart and soul and the tifosi know it.
their behavior doesn't change when lewis joins ferrari, their favorite is still charles. but it starts to change, when charles beats his ongoing streak of WDCs, claiming his own.
it's then, when max begins to see the true power of tifosi and their belief.
or
tifosi * their belief in charles + a ferrari WDC win (by charles) + a sprinkle of insanity = man turned god charles leclerc
OR
in which i'm too lazy/busy to write a proper lestappen fic worthy of this idea (maybe in the future, maybe i'm opening the docs rn to set up a draft, maybe-) which is very much PJO/greek mythology inspired, based on the idea that gods only have so much power if mortals believe in them. but what if millions of mortals start to actually believe and pray to someone they think is blessed, the predestined, a god to them?
heavily inspired by these infamous pictures and this incredible fanart (and ofc the jesus!charles poster, yk which one i'm talking about...)
Lando haters r fr like. "He's such a bad qualifier! Oh he fixed that. He's never won a race! Oh he fixed that. He's never won ANOTHER RACE! Oh he fixed that. He's never won from pole! Oh he fixed that. He's never led lap 1! Oh he fixed that."
the mexican gp is not real
