I have been avoiding making this post for a week. It's time to rip the band-aid off.

This past week was a rough week for The Leonard Effect. I originally started TLE as a way to gain productivity surrounding my love of hockey and to overcome a physical disability.

I reached out to the Washington Capitals organization after building the site and was given a road map. It was very exciting receiving the communications back from them as well as their support. They are an amazing organization! I can't say enough good things on the ice and off.

I planned on attending team practices and games in effort to create my own media and avoid licensing issues for the first 6 months until I could prove myself.

Sadly life had other plans for me. As a result of many operations since childhood for a physical disability, a new symptom in the form of a disease has manifested. It will very much limit my mobility going forward.

For that reason TLE X account will become a Washington Capitals fan account as opposed to a media outlet.

@rmnb if you take a look at the culture page of my website, it was something I was excited about running when the season starts. My idea was to make fans the 7th player on the ice. I worked hard on building it. The data needed to run it can be acquired very cheaply via X api during games. Fractions of pennies. Contact me and I will gift you guys the code with no expectation of anything in return. Also @bot can build it fairly easily.

If any other NHL independent media accounts would like to steal the idea for their own, feel free to as well. (you will have to create a bell curve for larger markets in relation to data though)

TLE site will remain up for another month and then I'll be pulling the plug.

After a few days of being a wussy and feeling sorry for myself, I moved forward on something more realistic and less demanding. That work can be found at @TemetNoscePlz33

Thank You to everyone who followed TLE and connected with me. Give @rmnb and @JapersRink a follow for the best Capitals news. I have relied on them for years.

I'm very excited for the Capitals team that was put together this year!

This does not need to become a pitty post, just an explanation and closure for myself.

Ai will help me bridge a lot of the gaps caused by my disability in the future. I look forward to that.

This is only temporary.

Grrrrr guess it's time to hit post.

It may be a some time before I log back into this account .

@grok thoughts on the OG post?

[The Leonard Effect @LeonardEffect09]

There are a lot of hurt people on @X , I may need to make a 2nd account to offer support/inspire healing and keep TLE about Caps/NHL Hockey.

I believe that is the best game plan for today!

@DiaryofaSickGrl I prefer to ask "who can I be, now that I know?"
