my first initiative as prime minister will be to address rising sea levels by gathering up all the horses and having them drink as much seawater as possible before they die, and then we bury them somewhere dry to get rid of it

It's Juneteenth yall. And I'm not letting this day go unmarked.

Black people fight for everybody. We stand in solidarity with women, lgbt people, poor people all over the world of every skin color and background. Every religion and nationality.

Today, stand with us. Be with us. Tell a black person you love them. Hug a black person (with consent). Ask that hot black girl out today. Make a black person smile. Black lives matter to everybody and you matter to us.

Stand with us on Juneteenth like we stand with you all year round, and I hope a happy Pride month continues for all of us

💝

Obligatory self reblog because Tumblr doesn't ever let anybody see my stuff unless I literally post it repeatedly

[queen-mihai]

I'd love if you'd reblog this and keep it moving, with love

ok so. so we’re just. not reading now. wow ok. ok!!! booktok says we should remove half of the fun from reading!!! wow!!! (i found this in a video and apparently it’s not just this person doing it. it’s. quite a few of them. just to make that clear.)

[samvelg-likes-things]

Literally the only thing I can think that miiiight be happening with at least the first commenter (if it isn't just a staggering cocktail of impatience and lack of imagination and/or reading comprehension) is that maaaybe they don't realise they have some level of aphantasia?

Because I've got partial aphantasia and yeah, if you have that that you're not going to get HD movies playing in your head when you read, and it's weird to expect that you'd have that when reading when you don't have that happening at any other point in time??

Tbh if anything it makes reading the actual descriptions more important so you know what tf is going on, just because you don't get that aforementioned HD movie playing in your head doesn't mean you don't enjoy it, when the words are there you still Know What Is Happening, your brain understands concepts and meanings even without the pictures accompanying it. I'm a writer as well as a voracious reader, and I routinely get compliments on my descriptions and my blocking (how the characters move in a scene), and I credit it entirely with how when I'm writing I need to have a solid idea of who is where and doing what to avoid it feeling like talking heads floating in a void.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Dr. Opal Lee

Known as the “Gra

Happy Juneteenth 2026

For Juneteenth this year, I'd like to share some information about a woman who few may have heard of. Her name is Dr. Opal Lee and she is considered the Grandmother of Juneteenth. She is still alive today as of June 19th 2026 at 99 years old!

Known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” Dr. Opal Lee was present on June 17, 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act bill that established June 19 or “Juneteenth” a federal holiday. Ms. Lee said on that day, “Now we can celebrate freedom from the 19th of June to the 4th of July!” Opal Lee was born in Marshal, Texas, in 1926 and moved to Fort Worth, Texas, in 1937. At the age of 12, her family’s home was destroyed on June 19, 1939, but she nor her family allowed that to deter them from making an impact in the community.

Liberation is not a solo project, and Black history and queer history are not parallel stories.

Our stories have always overlapped and informed one another.

The LGBTQ+ movement owes an enormous debt to Black queer and trans activists, writers and authors, such as Marsha P. Johnson, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, Stormé DeLarverie, Bayard Rustin, William Dorsey Swann, Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Lorraine Hansberry, and so many more! Many of the movement’s defining moments were made possible because Black queer activists put their bodies on the line to fight for liberation, literally.

The very first Pride celebration was a commemoration of the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall riots, 6 days of protest led by Black queer and trans activists.

This Juneteenth, we honor Black resistance, Black joy, Black creativity, and Black futures. Because none of us get free alone. ✊🏿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

quarterly reminder to the white folk that just because you know racism is bad doesn’t mean you’ve stopped internalizing racist standards or ideals

take some time to consider the racial biases society has conditioned you to subconsciously subscribe to and have a good day 👍

New Hollanov Fic!

yes it's 8k of Shane trying to figure out if he's gay:

Featuring:

😭 my autistic son

✅ an internet quiz

🤔 okay so Shane like dicks but does it really mean he’s gay?

😯 look I didn't even mean to write this fic

🎊 You Might Be Gay 🎊

Excerpt:

So, Shane wasn’t an idiot. He had some idea what it meant to want to suck a dick. But he was eighteen. Wasn’t that something you always knew, or something? Why would he have these feelings now? He’d had a girlfriend, after all. He’d enjoyed kissing her and touching her boobs, right? Sex hadn’t been everything it had been made out to be, but it had been okay.

Okay, maybe Shane was an idiot.

Had he been attracted to men before Rozanov? He’d spent a lot of time around naked boys, muscular boys, boys like Rozanov, with big hockey asses and big hockey thighs. He remembered when the boys on his team had all been normal looking boys, before they’d all started growing giant biceps and big asses and pubic hair. Shane had been fascinated by the changes puberty was making to their bodies— he’d always been a year or two younger than his teammates until he got to the OHL— but he’d tried not to look.

He’d always tried not to look, had stared at the wall or up at the ceiling and pushed his face into the water when he’d started blushing at how unconcerned his teammates had been at the nudity of the situation, chatting and chirping, sometimes even play fighting and wrestling each other wet and naked like Ancient Greek wrestlers!

Okay, so, yes, Shane was well aware he was practically a Victorian governess with a case of the vapours (whatever those were) fainting at the sight of full male nudity.

(He’d been called a prude before.)

But had he been attracted to any of it? To the giant asses or the dangling dicks or the shoulders that bulged with muscle, especially after someone got done with a set, his shirt stained with sweat, lifting up the corner of it to dab at his forehead, revealing a flat stomach and trail of hair going down…

…Shit.

Gosh, I really, really love the concept of an ancestral shrine for Shane's ancestors. Especially interring Irina there, showing that she is also family, and Shane promising to take care of Ilya. And I am so sorry if I am saying something wrong because I only know about what my family do lol or I being a complete buzzkill. It's a tiny something despite me being a not very religious southeast asian Buddhist and not having a shrine room for my grandparents (I have their photos up on the wall near the alter of Buddha image. I pay homage to and pray in front of the alter but no sperate room because we can't afford lol.) Ancestral shrines are mostly separate from bedrooms, they may not be reserved an entire room, like some have wooden/paper divider thing set up. They are quiet and really good for meditation and when you want to complain about your parents or not want anyone to know but want to talk to someone. Kudos again for such lovely idea. I love that Shane has the rosary; I have my grandma's and it's a little worn out, and sorry for being buzz kill I love it so much that I am being obnoxious. Sorry for that.

No need for apologies; thank you a lot for your feedback! I really appreciate your prospective. I was thinking Shane might keep it in his bedroom because he wants to keep it away from the more public areas of his house, because I think it's something he wouldn't want anyone besides his family seeing, but I forget he's a millionaire with tons of space. I love the idea that he'd a special place built for it.

[deliciousblizzardshark]

Shane has a little ancestral altar set up in the corner of their bedroom with memorial tablets for his grandparents and a small statue of Kannon and he does his meditation in front of it, lighting the incense and ringing a small bell and then, when he's done with his meditation, often spends a few minutes talking to his grandparents, telling his grandmother about a bird or plant or bug he saw recently, because she loved nature and telling his grandfather a joke.

There are a few other things on the altar too; a picture of Shane's dog Lucky, who died when he was a teenager, some fruit and flower offerings, a Buddhist rosary that had belonged to Shane's grandmother. Ilya gets used to the altar being there and hardly ever looks at it, so he doesn't notice when Shane adds an extra picture.

But one day, when Shane has finished his meditation and Ilya is in the room looking for something he hears Shane say 'Ilya taught Anya to roll over and he is so pleased with himself he's been showing her off to everyone,' and then 'I'll take care of him for you, I promise'. When Shane has finished and wandered out of the bedroom, Ilya goes over and opens the little cupboard the altar is in and sees that Shane has put a copy of one of the only pictures Ilya has of his mother, the one where she's holding Ilya and smiling at the camera, on the altar beside his grandparents' tablets and he has to sit down and breathe deeply for a few minutes until he no longer feels like he's going to cry.

[deliciousblizzardshark]

so an accidentally married in vegas fic just came across my dash and of course it was ilya and shane who got married but I had the thought it would be so funny if it was marly and ilya'

like those two ?boston? players to tried to get married in vegas but ?at least one of them had a wife?

they could have been like 'we're gonna be bros forever and get a cup together'

and then they wake up and find the marriage certificate and the ring and ilya is low key freaking out but marly thinks it's hilarious and can't stop telling people because it is so objectively funny to him, a straight boy, that he and his good friend notorious womanizer ilya rozanov got married

so of course it spreads around the league and shane finds out and he is both hurt and steamed and blocks ilya's number so ilya has to go to shane's apartment uninvited and bang on the door until shane lets him in so mad and he's like 'i'm not cheating on you' and ilya's like 'its not an actual married just a joke' and shane slams the door on his face and ilya rushes back to the hotel room like 'marly we need annulled asap' and marly's like all sympathetic 'oh montreal jane was real mad, huh? sucks, bro'

[deliciousblizzardshark]

This is the stupidest thing I've ever written:

“It’s cool though, bro,” Marly said. “It’s gonna be, like, one of those funny stories we can tell. People are gonna be like remember when Rozanov and Marlow got drunk bro-married in Vegas?” “Bro-married is not thing!” Ilya couldn’t help protesting. “Dude,” Marly said. “Bromance is a thing, and romance leads to marriage so…” Perhaps, Ilya thought, God would take pity on him and make him the first man to ever die of a hangover.

[deliciousblizzardshark]

Shane writes hockey romance* novels in his spare time and publishes them under a pseudonym (John Dutch) and no one knows except his agent.

A wag somewhere picks one up and discovers the hockey is really accurate and well written from a technical perspective (plus it’s super hot) and convinces her boyfriend or husband or whatever to read it and then somehow it becomes popular among hockey players as a thing that’s kind of a gag but people are also seriously reading it.

Ilya is extremely confused that CLIFF is trying to convince him to read a book but figures he’ll give it a try. Fifty pages in, reading the book on the plane, he suddenly realizes he recognizes the sex scene.

He never says anything to Shane, but starts casually leaving Shane’s books lying around for Shane to notice during their hook-ups.

*i was going to go with ‘gay hockey romance novels’ but then realized cishet hockey romance novels would be objectively funnier
