#HeatedRivalry Absolutely wild to catch the wave of a juggernaut fandom - in 24 hours this has become my second most kudosed fic of all time 🤯

#HeatedRivalry So ep 5 owns my soul, it turns out? Oh my god I am in love with every beat of it

I will be unfollowing anyone who does not spoiler tag #HeatedRivalry (including retweets that aren't already tagged) for the first 48h after airing

I posted just a tiny soupcon of #HeatedRivalry fic - an episode tag for S01E03 told in a series of voicemails: The Flowers You Nearly Brought Scott/Kip (1.5K) archiveofourown.org/works/75978146

It's 15:22, I'm procrastinating, here are some of my most unpopular opinions: 1) Matrix 2 is objectively the best movie in the Matrix Trilogy 2) Bucky Barnes could die in a fire and I would cheer

Absolutely delightful to rewatch #HeatedRivalry as Amy watches it for the first time - I have already lost count of the number of times she's cooed as if to a shy kitten at Shane Human Disaster Hollander's lack of game

Urban wildlife identification tip: If it is a sound so uncanny it makes you sit bolt upright in bed at 1am and say, "That can't possibly be foxes, it's far too weird," then it is definitely foxes

"pent up demand for rail options" also explains much of the success of Heated Rivalry

this is the heart of it, every time.

Oh no someone has dm'd me I'm sorry I'm not ignoring you I just can't access my dms

Someone I subscribed to on ao3 for their Conclave fic has just posted three Heated Rivalry works in five days, which feels very right to me

I wrote about the narrative importance of the sex scenes in Heated Rivalry, how this reflects the magic of romance novel storytelling, and how the plot is fuelled by a genuinely bleak view of homophobia in hockey culture. (Spoilers for ep 4!)

#HeatedRivalry I absolutely love this. Every sex scene in the show does a huge amount of character and plot work - TV critics who fail to recognise this are not qualified to write about this show

#HeatedRivalry I love how much the creative team behind the show LOVES the m/m hockey romance genre! They really get what the genre is going and want to share it with us with a love and earnestness that completely disarms me

Gonna pitch a review of Wake Up Dead Man to the Guardian that is 800 words comparing it to Harriet the Spy and Gone Girl and being mad that Benoit Blanc solves the case at the end of the movie instead of saying "Hm, I wonder who killed him" and walking off into the sunset.

“Kids today and their AuDHD—“ Victor Hugo had to lock himself in a room without clothes to make himself actually finish a draft and also he wrote six bonus chapters about the history of the Paris sewer system for his book about how poverty is one of the great evils of mankind

I haven't read anything else on here (YET) but the first title, by @singlecrow.bsky.social is indeed WONDERFUL

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Building muscle is mostly about diet. If you want to get big you have to eat other people at the gym

I have a black wooden picture frame I want to turn into a white wooden picture frame I googled a bunch but then realised this might be someone on here's favourite thing to explain... Anyone love to explain how to repaint wood?

I am reading @llincathryn.bsky.social’s f/f romance novella All Is Bright as an advent calendar, one short chapter a day in December as recommended by the wonderful author. It’s a perfect warm, fuzzy bedtime ending to the day #AllIsBrightAdvent

BABE WAKE UP NEW MEANING OF NONPLUSSED JUST DROPPED WHAT A DAY TO BE A DESCRIPTIVIST

Me: "Is Jeremy Irons the good one or the bad one?" @such-heights.bsky.social: "The weird bad one" Me: "Who's the good one?" s_h: "Jason Isaacs" Me: "Thank you!" s_h, in the tone of one who will continue to act as my external memory for celebrity facts until we both die: "I got you"

My other other conclusion is that "outfit recycling" should be the highest badge of honor in fashion and so we should STOP complimenting people for new clothes and START complimenting people who wear the same thing again.

Full debate at the barbers just now about letting your missus track your location Camp 1: It's controlling and means she doesn't trust you Camp 2: It's not that deep, man (Me and @such-heights.bsky.social get a pass because women do it for safety)

“Usually it’s just bedding and other homeware,” explained Lee. “But after a few steps a sharp cinnamon scent became a whirling miasma of nasal chaos. The air was claggy, my vision went dark, and I just ran.”

Man, I love Pluribus. Absolutely buzzing with thoughts and questions after every ep.

Really eye-opening piece on Makaton

This essay about Cinder House is definitely the most vulnerable, personal thing I've ever written; it took me over a year to get to the point where I wanted to tell this particular story. Thanks to @booktrib.bsky.social for giving it a home! 🏠🔥 booktrib.com/2025/11/18/h...

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke... Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

We have a series of stacking cups with animals on the bases. Most of them are readily identifiable (exhibit 1: snail), but we have two candidates hippos and I'm truly at a loss (a) which is the hippo and (b) what the other one is

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

I could live a thousand years with my only objects of study being their faces and I still would not be able to tell the difference between Rufus Sewell and Ben Miles

Having to talk about AI as if it’s a serious concern and not a money laundering scheme is taking years off my life

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
