There can't be new episodes of The Pitt because I haven't finished processing my Heated Rivalry feelings yet and I can only deal with one set of feelings at a time. I'm sorry but this needs to be rescheduled.

NHL Launches ‘Heated Rivalry’ Spin-Off, ‘Hockey’: https://reductress.com/post/nhl-launches-heated-rivalry-spin-off-hockey/

God that was a great year for Fandom.

Starting the new year with some covid, hbu

one challenging thing for me in talking and reading about Heated Rivalry is that there are so so many truths that have to sit alongside each other, and talking about one of those truths inevitably makes it seems like you (well, I!) don't care about others

yuna (saying goodbye after learning ilya’s fucking her son and wanting to make him feel at home): and ilya, i just want to say, i’ve talked a lot of shit about you over the years, and … you should know i’m not sorry. about any of it shane: MOM, GOD ilya (through tears): thank you. that means a lot

An essay by Laura Sackton inspired by Heated Rivalry, reflecting on the complexities of “coming out” as a political/discursive act in a heterosexist world… vs inter-community signaling, recognition, language, intimacy, etc for showing each other who’s family poetryschool.beehiiv.com/p/volume-5-n...

Got a friend into #HeatedRivalry, she just started the first episode and she's asking how the draft system works. Girl, why would you care about the hockey? But I will gladly explain to you the faily system of North American sports where the worst teams get rewarded. You brought this onto yourself.

I have been to the Cottage and somehow I'm expected to be a functioning member of society now? No???? #HeatedRivalry

My Marked For Later is filling up with so many #HeatedRivalry fics and I only need to finish 5.5 books until I can read them. I don't see any flaws with this plan!

I'm being so normal. You have no idea how normal I am being.

It’s Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Day…. It is Chri hi hi hi hi stmas Day!

Geeeeettttt…. DRESSED, you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay! For it is Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Day!

*ahem*

in retrospect I should have taken today off from work so I could just lie down and cackle about this forever

#MusicAdvent Day 24 could only be X-Ray Spex. At some point you've heard the famous song so much that you develop favourites among their other songs, just because you've not been over-exposed to them so much. But in the end the famous one is famous for the sensible reason of being very, very good.

Gran Turismo 7 is starting with a super emotional intro video about the history of cars and car racing I can't figure out how to skip it. I'm happy for you car nerds, but I'm gonna play this like it's Mario Kart!

an utterly perfection summation of what it feels like to watch #HeatedRivalry

Uh, for the people who need this, which is all my mutuals, pretty much, GQ has removed the paywall for this article and its extremely unhinged photoshoot. Happy holidays! www.gq.com/story/heated...

#MusicAdvent Day 23 is for one of the greatest who has ever done it, so obviously I'm gonna go with a live version. Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

#MusicAdvent Day 22, I was close to doing a language is fake thing and posting Anna von Hausswolff for V, but I couldn't decide on a track. 😅 So here's Leon Vynehall feat. TYSON with Scab. One smooth operator! And with that I'm up to date again.

#MusicAdvent Day 21, U is for Underworld! So many good tracks to choose from, but in the end it has got to be Born Slippy, really. Absolute legends. And all the visual trigger warnings for that video lol.

#MusicAdvent Day 20, haven't really posted any DnB yet, I think. So for T it's Tantrum Desire - Reach VIP. That's me, posting ten year old DnB tracks on the timeline as if there weren't any new DnB tracks to post. But I like this one!

#MusicAdvent Day 19, S is for another one of my early loves, Saïan Supa Crew. I don't know what French hip-hop is up to nowadays, but in the early 2000s it was absolutely cooking. The fact that I only learned a few years ago what super saiyan is does not free me of the nerd label, does it?

I'm so far behind on Music Advent, but the last few days I was basically only home to re-pack to travel somewhere else. And while I'm not too old to do this on mobile, I'm too old to want to do this on mobile.

Lol boarded the train to my family, it is all out war. We need these squish people from the Tokyo subway for travel during the holidays. But I won the door lottery, so I'm sitting pretty. Getting off this train will be a different story, though. 😅

@skybs.bsky.social Happy birthday, B! I hope you had a wonderful day! 💛🎈💛🎈💛🎈🎉🎉🎉

I'm at a party and All the Things She Said started playing (just because we're people of a certain age, not in a #HeatedRivalry context) and I fully lost my mind. Nobody understood, it's a hardship.

"Who are the slut himbos of false NHL?"

Obviously I didn't need to tell any of you about the Gay Hockey Idiots Show, y'all know. But when I tell my normie friends about it their reaction across the board is "oh so it's made for you?" Sometimes, in special moments like these, I do enjoy being perceived.

Okay what the actual fuck this actually looks hilarious youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

Just got a YouTube ad for a food delivery service, "Milk products from people who know their cows by name." We're having fun with sentence construction!

#HeatedRivalry ep 5 was everything and now I can start the day with warm fuzzies in my heart!

Time to 8Dance, 9Dance, 10Dance!

#MusicAdvent Day 18, R for Rosalía! When I first listened to her new album I lost my mind like ten times per track, it's so good, it's unreal. Rosalía, Björk und Yves Tumor is an all-time link-up of talent, woof.

Oh hot damn, I don't think I will be able to watch this before Sunday but I'm looking forward to it. I will be making [solved] stamp noises the entire time, I will be insufferable. 😂

we have a really good dev rel engineer here throwing himself to (i would say) a small number of very loud, hungry wolves because the new ceo did (i would also say) a very weird announcement that sounded like it was written in 2024 by an ai startup

It's my last work day of the year and I am crawling, dragging, robbing my way to the finish line. I can do it! We all can do it!

Calling all #MiniDisc nerds: we'll have another MiniDisc Meetup at #39c3! Please bring your players, recorders, discs, repair equipment and other magneto-optical gadgets. Or just come by if you're interested and discuss music and 90s tech with us. Hope to see you there - let's keep MiniDisc alive!

The call for programming for VidUKon 2026 has just gone out! Find out more and read about changes for 2026 here: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/69644.html As with previous years we welcome programming ideas from first-time VJs and panellists as well as veterans and are happy to help!

It's happened, I like too many #HeatedRivalry gifs on tumblr and now it's giving me actual hockey gifs. Now what's that supposed to mean? I've done my time!!!

I never thought looking at a picture of an intersection could cause panic attacks

#MusicAdvent Day 17, Q! Ever since the start of all this until yesterday I had Q-Tip lined up for today. Then this morning I woke up and it was of fundamental importance that I post Quincy Jones. Ya gotta roll with it. Quincy Jones - Midnight Soul Patrol

The next VidUKon will be held in Birmingham 5-7 June 2026. Find out more about the con hotel and the city over at Dreamwidth: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/69403.html

#MusicAdvent Day 16, Pure Essence - Third Rock. This is a fun one. It's one of my favourite tracks of all time and I've never even heard any other song by this band.

I saw that post roughly five times before I noticed it says "slop" and not "stop" and that makes more sense.
