Hockey player Jesse Kortuem publicly comes out as gay, crediting ‘Heated Rivalry’ with helping him share his story:
“I know many closeted and gay men in the hockey world are being hit hard by Heated Rivalry's success. Never in my life did I think something so positive and loving could come from such a masculine sport. I've struggled the last few weeks to put these emotions into words, fearing the impact on team dynamics, etc. I loved the game, but I lived with a persistent fear. I wondered how I could be gay and still play such a tough and masculine sport […] I want to speak to the athletes out there who are still in the closet or struggling to find their way. I want you to know that there is hope and you’re not alone. There is a life and a deep happiness waiting for you on your path. You will get through this, and it is going to be okay.”
Solange was onto something when she said “I can’t be a singular expression of myself. There are too many parts, too many spaces, too many manifestations, too many lines, too many curves, too many colors, too many flavors for me to be one thing.”
accepted the ceasefire, stopped bombing Gaza, waited for the rest of the Palestinians to return to Gaza to maximize their kill count, started bombing Gaza again... there are no words for how evil this country is
Does the tree waste its life if it stands still and feels the sun? Do the newts waste their lives sleeping under the leaves? Your purpose is to be, and you are excelling.
I still remember being exhausted, having slept through a final bc it was too damned early and not even my loudest alarm clock could wake me up. I ran to the prof's office as soon as I realized what happened, sweating & teary eyed, asking if I could PLEASE take the test
