In case you were wondering, "losing your voice" in sociolinguistics is the phenomenon where a person moves into a new environment where their speech and mannerisms aren't considered prestigious or fitting anymore, such as an Indian doctor with a well respected British dialect just sounding Indian in Britain.
Every single time I've told someone that my fav film is the martian they are severely underwhelmed and i dont get it. What about this movie isn't MOVING YOU TO PIECES
sometimes you just have to sob over the martian film at its depiction of human nature and the nature of science and spaceflight. ITS ABOUT THE LOVE AND KINDNESS AND CARING FOR A SINGLE HUMAN LIFE.
Oscar can see it in their eyes. They’re all looking at him like he’s a monster.
fanart for @drivestraight 's eat them alive !!!!! been a long time since a fic has shook me up like this one has <333
actually I will elaborate on why didier and gilles are such a tragedy: when you think about it, they're the only iconic duo in which both are dead.
Jackie Stewart lost François Cevert and retired immediately after that, devastated by the pain of his loss, but he's still alive even if he was born in 1939!
Nigel Mansell lost Elio de Angelis and dedicated his next victory to him, he's still alive and still remembers him dearly.
Ayrton is dead, but Alain is still there.
But Didier, Didier is not here. He is not walking around paddocks with a cane, old and grey-haired, remembering Gilles at official events. In virtue of him being still alive the weight of the guilt on his shoulders would have settled off, and maybe not many people would still call him a traitor to his face. He would deserve the same pride, the same spark in his eyes Alain has when talking about his unique relationship with Ayrton, but talking about Gilles instead. About how their souls were made of the same material, how deep their friendship was and how sad it was they never had time to talk. But he would have his unique memories, and his sons, and his name would be cleared.
But he's not there. His name is still dragged in mud to this day.
Be grateful that your favourite drivers (retired or not) are still alive, that they can talk, they can spend time together. Because Didier and Gilles cannot do that anymore.

learning about the prost-senna rivalry is ultimately realising most of it was senna being kind of crazy versus prost trying (and often failing) to keep things as normal as possible. Because the thing is I’ve always believed in order to be a top athlete you have to be somewhat obsessed and for Prost he was, for the most part, the regular amount of that. whereas Senna very famously Exceeded the usual level of being consumed by his sport.

In the whole ‘dude’ conversation I think we should talk about why male terms are considered neutral but the same cannot be said for those that are considered female. No one would argue that ‘dudette’ is a neutral term the way the do ‘dude’. Instead of arguing about how much ‘dude’ is just an everyone word for you, why not actively try to use more ‘feminine’ terms in your language instead of what you consider gender neutral and then masculine.
for sure, it is really Interesting how masculine language can become neutral but once a word becomes feminized it's done for any other use cases. it just further enforces men as default human beings and women as an aberration from that. look at the word girl! girl (or rather its predecessors) meant any young child from like 1200 - 1300, and then by 1400 it had evolved to mean a female child specifically and that has pretty much stayed the course since. but all the people insisting dude/bro/bud is neutral despite it's original (and current) uses seem to have absolutely no interest in redefining/returning to the origins of girl in the same way
saya takde apa pun nak cakap. Bila ku tak tinggal di msia saya takde orang nak bercakap melayu dengan. Saya berasa macam sedih sikit? Ini paling lama masa yang saya tak cakap dan tak dengar bm dah. Bukan lah macam bm is my first language also, saya bercakap ingris kat rumah dan sekolah selalu, so speaking english is not the adjustment. Walaupun saya tak berfikir dalam bm, ku mau the chance to bercakap dalam malay anyways.
