guys there’s probably a 10 year old in helsinki watching carolina hockey for the first time and will make it his dream to play in the nhl. the next sebastian aho might be in the stands and i might be in tears right now thinking about it
society if craft stores focused on actually selling quality craft supplies instead of 70% of their inventory being the shittiest home decor slop you’ve ever seen for $50
seeing how happy not only the fins are but also how everyone on the team is excited and smiles to play in finland is warming my heart 🥺 they’re so happy for kk and aho
“Oh are you saying you want men in women’s sports?”
I would rather my child play against transgender athletes than be forced to have their fucking genitals inspected in a country with a pedophilia problem that nobody seems to give a fuck about.
"But can't AI just be used to complete unimportant backgrounds or clean up animation?" No. Those are entry level positions that turn into long careers. Bg painters become art directors. Clean up artists become animation leads. Stop trying to cheat.
Women belong in baseball.
Our players and our fans proved that this year.
The outpouring of energy, support, and excitement for the WPBL truly extends beyond anything we would have expected for a league in its first year.
In 2026, women’s professional baseball returned to center stage, but this is just the beginning.
In 2026, we made history.
In 2027, we’ll keep writing it.
There were kids in the press box, in the locker room, on the broadcast, and on the ice. I even saw Eric Tulsky holding a player's son. Kids day wasn't just a promotion for the #Canes, it's a way of life. Plenty to cheer for in a 7-0 win.
as an avid reader of traditionally published books (i literally have 4 library cards), ao3 scratches an entirely different itch. “just go read a book” YOU DONT GET IT i need to read 20 different versions of the same characters enter into a fake dating scenario with a sounding tag
So, to recap the Larkin situation, this year he has:
- Said he wants to be a Red Wing for life
- Missed the playoffs again (scored one even strength goal after the Olympics btw)
- Demanded a trade (but only to the top 3 US contenders)
- Lost the captaincy
- Begrudgingly showed up to camp (but wouldn't *really* answer any questions & got "injured)
- Decided to play & said his focus was on winning games
- Expanded his trade list (to the top 10 US contenders)
- Publicly quit on his team for a second time
Missing anything? Seems like a really easy guy to root for
