I just learned that there is a hockey player named Luke Evangelista and if he doesn’t vogue on the ice at every game I’m not sure what we’re even doing anymore.
90s Captain Ahab: Thar she blows. Thar she blows again.
The only way I see that the Paralympics are happening is ppl posting stuff like “wow I don’t have any excuse for not running a marathon” and GENUINELY can you all cut that shit out. These are athletes who have trained their whole lives! You wouldn’t be able to to it just because you’re abled!!
Update: The reader is also pronouncing MPP’s name “poo-lin,” a much graver sin. I may need to take a break.
The San Jose Sharks are doing a Spider-Man thing for their Marvel superhero night. I get it, but what a huge missed opportunity to put Jeff the Land Shark in skates!
It also maybe reinforces some binaries? Certainly not purposefully. I’m just really curious what the directorial conversations around this choice were.
Listening to a nonfiction book about trans athletes and the reader has chosen to adjust their voice performance to demonstrate the gender of people who are quoted. I don’t know that it’s a “wrong” choice per se, but it’s unusual in nonfiction audio and a little distracting.
Jen, this is so much better!
I feel great about having a quiet night before my hella early flight home from ECCC tomorrow, but I may have fucked up the relaxation entirely by catching up on the news. I guess the nice bubble of con weekend is over already. :/
Expected: ECCC is full of people in hockey jerseys. About half are Hollanov.
Unexpected: I now know enough to identify the irl hockey player jerseys AND I have opinions about most of them. Weird times.
Whenever I step off a flight in the PNW into gently overcast weather below 50° I’m immediately SO HAPPY! This right here is what I want all the time!!!
I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.
You can call your Senators, too.

Waaaaay less excited for this year’s ECCC flight compared to last year. If my seatmate isn’t a baby pro sports superstar, what am I even doing here?
That’s gonna be me flying home this year. SIGH
I’m so sorry to all my friends at ECCC who are going to have to sit through me losing my shit about the Sharks all weekend.
Historically Persephone has popped up in my media consumption at times when I’m going through significant personal change. It’s a little disconcerting that she hasn’t now, but I guess falling headfirst into sports fandom doesn’t really lend itself to guest appearances by chthonic nature deities.
Sports is the most expensive fandom I’ve ever been part of. Is this the real reason why cis het white dudes need to make more money than the rest of us?!?
Oh thank goodness. I’m six episodes behind on Abbott Elementary. Perfect time to catch up on something nice.
Dear algorithm,
Please stop trying to sell me Hughes brothers jerseys. You have profoundly missed the mark.
Sincerely,
Not that kind of fan
I’m not going to watch Trump’s State of the Union address tonight.
I urge you not to, either. Here’s why…
His beautiful ear swoops!
You can’t complain people are reacting politically and then go on about how patriotic you feel
Patriotism is political numbnuts
I hope Minnesota Wild fans show the team how they feel about three of their players going to hang out with the people who sent ICE into the Twin Cities.
Every day is a barrage of relentless terrible news these days, but it sucks waking up to two different stories of absolutely senseless and avoidable harm being caused to individuals and their communities in what should have been moments of triumph. It really fucking sucks.
Subtitle writers for the Olympic closing ceremony are apparently also Celebrini fans.
That said, I’m so excited to go see legit Olympic superstar Celebrini and the rest of the Sharks next week! That team’s excellent vibes are what got me here in the first place.
Winning interview with a mouth full of blood from newly missing teeth. I do kind of wish I wasn’t getting into this sport, but it’s so fun to watch.
Jesus, that 5-on-3 was stressful. Canada might give me a heart attack if they don’t get something soon.
Up at 4:45 to watch the sports. What have I become?
