“I don’t care that we got in, we’re going to lose anyway.” They say, extremely caringly, ordering a BFA shirt and texting paragraphs of preemptive BFBF slander to their South African friends

that said; for a few beautiful days I have a leg to stand on whilst I slander bafana bafana, and I intend to do so right up until the 23rd when we inevitably lose

by some miracle, BFA/Dipitse actually qualified for #AFCON2025 having last qualified in 2012. we are ABSOLUTELY going to lose to Senegal in our first match because they’re one of the strongest teams and Dipitse are. well. Dipitse.

fr! the way that TikTok & YouTube have corporatised language around violence and suffering is genuinely a plague, especially regarding mental illness. It’s well known that sanitising language reduces the perception of severity, but god forbid we don’t make everything ad-friendly forever

went under thinking “that definitely is a Star Trek word”, came up presenting a defensive thesis on DS9 like nerd Martin Luther 🥴

the shadow of a Protestant upbringing looms ever large, and so does the DS9 hyper fixation apparently

to be fair “retroverted” is a Star Trek ass word.

anyway yay gen surg team, boo appendix for being retroverted and way lower than it should’ve, Julian Bashir love of my life, Sisko defender til I die, DS9 apologist 4ever, etc etc

PACU nurse informed me that I came up from anaesthesia talking very passionately about DS9 and told her that “Benjamin Sisko the best Star Trek captain, you can quote me on that” AND I WAS RIGHT
