I will NOT eat bounce and moan on it. (expression of stony resolve softening, warm smile spreading across face) Ah what the hell. Whats a few bounces between friends, brother?
The campaign has been halted (due to hamza's insistence that people should pivot their resources directly to palestine) but his update in the gfm about it is beautifully written and i encourage you to read it all the same
Can we talk about how a man who, at age 16, accidentally fired a gun at a relative, has spent *40 YEARS* incarcerated for this, yet managed to send $17 (for 136 hours of work at 13 cents/hour) that he earned in prison to Gaza?
Donate to Hamza here.
Also while we're thinking about nonbinary-ness (this will inevitably turn into a thread), i always say my gender is impacted by my fatness and vice versa and i realize that this can be an alien concept for thinner people.
@chairbreaker_
's amazing article
@nopetynot
We actually don't talk about how insane they all are for this entire hotel get together (especially tashi lmfao???) They're literally made for each other bc idk if I'd be moving like this with two white guys I just met
You know, I do think that if tashi never got injured, things would have gone differently but not in such a way that she would completely ditch art and patrick behind and forget about them.
Most challengers brained moment of the day was my theater teacher talking abt the physicality of acting and saying that "great dancers are often great actors" and my mind immediately going to mike faist bc...look at the material
Well...i still havent gotten the grant i won almost a month ago, im behind on rent, and i have literally zero dollars )': idk what to do. My car insurance got autopaid this morning and here we are. I'm rly embarrassed but can anyone help?

It drives me insane bc pat and tashi are the worst outcomes of their particular paths...patrick goes pro too early and crashes out, Tashi holds out and destroys her career before it can even start. If there's anyone who could have handled going pro immediately, it was her 😭
I should try and actually scan these pages for posterity and to have pics that don't suck ass but either way, this is fun to own. Love that they didn't even try interviewing Mike. King shit.
I think sometimes people will ask really logical questions about certain events or character choices within challengers and personally I've solved all of them in my head by stating the following: art, tashi, and patrick are not particularly well adjusted people. Like, seriously.
Obvi letting Indigenous people lead the convo abt Kent Monkman's art but as A Black™ this sure is a painting lol...i can see the edgy critique of (pan)African stereotypes hes trying for here but a. This feels aimed towards nonblacks (why?) and b. It just feels regular racist tbh
Update: the flight was great, flight attendant said i was "the best passenger she's had all year" and that it would probably stay that way. 1 of the pilots asked me to rate the other's landing skills, it was great fun. Truly a moodbooster for the dour experience of air travel
If yall havent watched mf speed racer?? Get tf on that, bc its a masterclass on movement and color tbh - the wachowskis perfectly adapted anime to live action film
Hey yall, i cant afford my rent ($1275) for may! Im supposed to be working for the census right now, but bc of covid19 I'm broke until I receive my summer funding from school in mid May. Even a little bit helps, I really appreciate it

As a thought...it is absolutely ABSURD that there were so many widely known sexual predators/r*pists at Brown but the vast majority of people didn't want to rock the boat with their friend group (including one i used to be in...) so they basically roamed free all 4 years.
Zendaya if you read this im free on Thursday night and would like to hang out. Please respond to this and then hang out with me on thursday night when im free
I know I'm not the first person to say it but literally, I see an oomf getting a viral challengers tweet every single day at this point. It just ain't dying yet, man! The people yearn for the erotic tennis movie!!
I get that I'm an extremely biased party but I really dont understand the whole "josh o'connor is ugly" thing? Like he's just not? Or if he is, than what the fuck are the rest of us?
Zendaya if you see this im free thursday night and would like to hang out. Please respond to this and then hang out with me on Thursday night when im free
Um, this is a thread about patrick bc I've seen some really uncharitable interpretations of his character that don't feel...fully supported in the film and I'm like, damn. Perhaps I *am* giving him too much credit but that's my cross to bear lads! Hear me out.
Ok hold up...i really did just survive my first year of grad school, acquire an extra summer position, made an acceptable amount of progress towards my long term goals, strengthened old/new relationships, passed a math class, and took care of my mental health during a pandemic...
I think this is the most excited I've been about something since I got into graduate school and I'm not really joking. Shoutout to my roommate for walking downstairs as I was opening the package and offering to take this impromptu pic of me
hi everyone! i'm currently close to breaching 10k in debt after a series of financial emergencies over the last two years (car troubles, dental care, vet costs for my cat, + more). I'm embarrassed to ask but I'm trying to raise money to cover these costs.
Well you know, along with all the challengers auction hullabaloo, I also decided to get a nose ring instead of another post at the piercers today, so there's that. I actually think it kinda fucks
Also!!!! Yall!!! I got the absurdly expensive hello kitty sweater and while i still dont approve of it costing this much (no shade to hypland), it fits, it feels AMAZING, and it looks awesome!!!!
Guys I don't have a good reason to post this but my friend took this pic of me last week when we went to see Cuckoo in San Francisco and I actually think i look ok for once. I do things in my spare time besides post! Not many, but still! 🐦
Sexual assault????? At brown university????????? Color me fuckin shocked. I knew of at least one serial assaulter/creep who never saw any repercussions for their actions 🙃🙃🙃
Say it w/me: THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING BI/PAN, IT'S NOT A DIRTY WORD. Even if ur preference is 99% for women, if u are attracted to men, ur not a lesbian. This shit perpetuates the idea that lesbians can be "turned" which is extremely harmful.
Got an iud today lads and honestly? My body is fine but i had the weirdest fatphobic experience today at the gynecologist (let it be known this wasn't with my regular gyno, i wanted the iud today and made an appointment with whoever was available). A thread
This is uhhhhhhh...dumb?? I mean i dont want students blatantly disrespecting me in emails either but like...who gives a shit if a kid uses "hello" instead of "dear," people are dying rn
After he finished he actually apologized to me and i accepted it and told him that of course he said that, that's how he was trained, and that's the problem. But also, get fucked william! Thank god I'll never see him again. Sometimes real life reminds you why you do research.
It's actually fucking insane how many good writers are in the challengers fandom there is literally never a shortage of amazing things to read, what the fuck
Hey lads, still waiting to hear back from some part time job opportunities but as of rn im gonna run out of money before my next stipend in January bc of bills and rent and pet costs )':
If you have anything to spare my venmo is @/lee-nikki ❤
