Hey, Bandcamp users. You have probably already heard, but Bandcamp was bought by a music licensing firm, and laid off half its staff "as a cost cutting measure."

I will be downloading everything I purchased from Bandcamp and keeping an eye on it.

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

Gay Hockey out of stock? Try these hockey* books:

Steven Sandor - Leveling the Ice (Confronting Racism in Hockey)

R Renee Hess - Blackness Is A Gift I Can Give Her (On Race, Community, and Black Women in Hockey)

Katherine Locke and Nicole Melleby - Athlete is Agender (*not hockey specific)

Michael Waters - The Other Olympians (Fascism, Queerness, and the making of Modern Sports) (*not hockey specific)

Lise MacTague - Breaking out (sapphic hockey romance, fiction)

Tracey Richardson - Delay of Game (more sapphic hockey romance, fiction)

[whitecherrylavender]

Harrison Browne and Rachel Browne- Let Us Play: Winning the Battle for Gender Diverse Athletes

(Not hockey specific but Harrison was the first open trans man to play in professional hockey!)

And as a companion book to this one I suggest

Carole Hooven- T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us

[ca53w]

Rick Westhead - We Breed Lions: Confronting Canada's Troubled Hockey Culture

and here's a few books from the reading list of Steven Sandor's Leveling the Ice (these are mostly on BIPOC history in North American ice hockey):

Herb & Bernice Carnegie - A Fly in a Pail of Milk: The Herb Carnegie Story

George & Darril Fosty - George & Darril Fosty's Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895-1925

Valmore James & John Gallagher - Black Ice: The Val James Story

Nicole Mortillaro - Willie O'Ree: The Story of the First Black Player in the NHL

Fred Saskamoose - Call Me Indian: From the Trauma of Residential School to Becoming the NHL's First Treaty Indigenous Player

Erin Silver - Proud to Play: Canadian LGBTQ+ Athletes Who Made History

Courtney Szto - Changing on the Fly: Hockey Through the Voices of South Asian Canadians

Howard Bryant - Full Dissidence: Notes from an Uneven Playing Field (*haven't read this but from what I can see it isn't exclusively about sports or hockey but it should still be an interesting book)

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

[mankillercalledbunny]

Not to bring the serious to a very fun post, but this reaction is exactly what Mamdani is working for with his image, because in a very real way the most effective way for him to be The Mayor is if he looks like The Mayor.

This is a man who is VIOLENTLY aware that when it comes to conservatives, he is a Muslim first, a Brown Man second, an Immigrant third, a Socialist fourth, and a human a very distant fifth, if considered at all. He was also a young adult during the Obama Years and will have seen Republicans rip Obama to shreds for wearing a tan suit instead of a dark one and use literally ANY excuse they could to try and degrade his image.

Despite the fact that a mayor who wears a T-shirt and jeans might "seem more approachable" in the eyes of the average American, Zohran Mamdani knows that someone with his profile fundamentally cannot get away with that the way his White colleagues can. He has instead put in the effort to look professional and BE approachable, because not only does it make it easier for him to reach and represent his constituents, it forces everyone, including both his opponents and establishment Democrats, to engage with the work he is doing instead of judging his image. The fact that he is always seen in a suit and is recognisably The Mayor is, while also something he has fun with, a deliberate choice to ensure he is as inarguably A Professional Politician To Be Taken Seriously. The added humour of e.g. the hi-vis is a bonus, only achievable because he works so hard to Look Like The Mayor.

Adding these tags from @haunted-stranger-garden bc they illustrate this brilliantly
