I asked my therapist for practical advice on how to battle my perfectionism and she said "actively half ass stuff because I'm pretty sure your half ass is everyone else's whole ass"
What's a tweet that's so canonical in your mind you make shorthand reference to it, even if people might not know what you're talking about? (I sometimes just say "uh oh y'all it's gettin' kinda hazy" expecting people to get it)
CW: sexual assault
since there’s an “ace people don’t face any discrimination” discourse happening, now seems like a good time to remind people that I was assaulted by a guy who thought he could “fix” me
I do not want Daniel Ricciardo in IndyCar however it would be really funny to see all the people that didn’t get a shot at F1 because of him politely hand him his ass
@telis
Badly! If a car has no crumple zones, the people inside take the full force of the hit. This is the reason countless race car drivers died including Dale Earnhardt and more recently, ended Kurt Busch’s career
was on a zoom call with a coworker and her toddler crawled in her lap and said "who's that friend? She's BEAUTIFUL"
so I will be crying for the rest of today
With a presidential election approaching in November, the IndyCar Series has made the decision to distance itself from the contest and disallow political branding on the cars that compete under its sanction at the upcoming Indianapolis 500.
I've muted this thread but I'm so glad this is helpful to a lot of people!
A note for those saying they don't know how to half-ass things: me neither but what I'm currently doing is when I catch myself thinking "it's okay but could be better..." that's how I know I'm done
Are you perhaps an American F1 fan who is feeling hurt, belittled, and betrayed right now? Have you heard the good news of our lord and savior, IndyCar?

We won’t cover everything here but just enough for you to tune in this season and know what’s going on. Let’s dive in.
I really don’t like having to bring this up so if we could stop doing this discourse that would be nice. I haven’t had nearly enough therapy for this bullshit
You think Roger Penske shouldn’t own the series because he’s cheating.
I think Roger Penske shouldn’t own the series because he’s not investing in marketing enough.
We are not the same
I think
@OmarNajam
is the first openly ace person I've seen in the D&D sphere and I'm not gonna lie I've cried and laughed so many times watching ACOFAF just because of him 😭
Post a picture of yourself when you were genuinely smiling and/or laughing
I feel like true joy doesn't make it on this website a whole lot and I would like to see it
I'll start:
me normally: "America as a country has so many issues and it's really discouraging and scary"
me when garage 56 car: "AMBER WAVES OF GRAIN WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER 🦅🦅🦅"
NEWS:
@ArrowMcLaren
has terminated
@malukasdavid
from his contract. Malukas missing Sunday’s race at Barber triggered a clause in his contract that gave the team clearance to do so.
More explanation here:
honestly all formal IndyCar events are incredible because every couple is like "here is this beautiful ethereal creature in a gorgeous ball gown and her little gremlin boyfriend who drives racecars"
Imagine reading “F1 should have a traveling professional safety team like they do in IndyCar” and thinking that it would just be coddling the drivers like how obtuse and heartless do you have to be
@leyleylemon
Yep, I do this too! My house is usually either a wreck or perfectly clean because I don't feel like I can clean it unless I'm going to clean ALL of it.
Cheating and motorsports are an iconic and longstanding pair. This is not new or a catastrophe or some kind of indication of the death of indycar. Calm down.
Every time I see an F1 crash and the driver is just standing their without safety personnel I remember that F1 truly sucks in every way that matters to me personally
@kirstenjpierce
Same but I'm currently working 16 hour days and through weekends and my body is going to quit on me any minute now so it's worth a shot.
I really am not understanding what about “Liberty Media is a company based in America and is therefore subject to American laws and the scrutiny of the American government” people are struggling to comprehend
Love that I wrote a whole ass paper on how friendship is the holiest kind of love in college and it still took me another 5 years to figure out that I'm asexual.
It's race day in the USA 🇺🇲
Shout out to
@wbuxtonofficial
for the great design that I'm wearing. It's so lovely how many allies there are both on the track and in the media of my favorite sport 🏳️🌈🥰
@beesquared0912
I was singing in my dorm room one time and the girls on the other side of the wall started loudly making fun of me. I didn't have any louder instruments but I did have pretty good speakers that I could point directly at the wall and play heavy metal on 🤷🏼♀️
“I don’t think the fan pays much attention after 20 cars. What are those other 6, 7, 8 or 9 bringing to the table, other than a lot of times red flags?"
@ZBrownCEO
doesn't think IndyCar's charter proposal will drive enough value.
He has other ideas too.
Not being mad about a sweet young man having his job torn away from him because of an injury does not make you a superior human being and telling other people not to be upset makes you an asshole
Sargeant confirms he won’t be driving his original car and will instead be using the repaired Williams chassis, formerly driven by Albon, for this weekend’s race. Doesn’t foresee any issues with that as fix went better than expected. No spare until Miami.
Starting in May, my friend Kate and I will be starting to post episodes of our podcast where we talk about the history of the Indy 500 so be on the lookout for that I guess!
Happy autism awareness day, do not support or give money to Autism Speaks, don’t use the puzzle piece symbolism or the color blue
We do not need to be cured, we are not lacking anything, autism is not a tragedy
I was an F1-only motorsport fan for 10 years. You know how long it took me to become an IndyCar fan?
One race. Not even the whole race. The first 10 minutes maybe.
If you think F1 has better racing than IndyCar, you haven't watched IndyCar
