I’m sure we’ve all heard about the racist comments sent to Ethan Bear and I wanted to put together a list of places you can donate to in his honor to help indigenous people and hockey youth in Canada. I will be updating this as often as I can with more links and places to donate!

spirit north

gord downie and chanie wenjack fund

first nations child and family caring society

true north aid: hockey cares

i just want to make it very clear that this is a radically leftist blog. i’m socially inclusive, yes, but i’m also an advocate of actual leftist policy and government practice. if you’re going to make statements about your social beliefs, you need to make sure that you also advocate/understand the policy that would lead to your end goal being achieved.

you can speak out against transphobia, but how are you actively advocating for trans people beyond your words? what groups are you donating to? what activists are you following? how are you educating yourself? do you know who layshia clarendon is?

learn about caster semenya and the transphobic biological essentialism occurring at the worlds highest level of sports. understand how legal transphobic discrimination is being leveraged against black women disproportionately by the ioc, which trickles down to all levels of athletics.

speak out against transphobia and make your feelings known, but if you’re not trans, what are YOU doing to actually advance the rights and liberties of trans people in sports and beyond? this isn’t about how jamie benn hurt your feelings and disappointed you. this is about how he is actively contributing to the oppression of trans people. you can be upset if you’re cis, but this is honestly not your place to throw a fit bc you can no longer support yet another white man.

this is your time to lift up the voices of trans people and to share the stories of transgender athletes in sports.

since some of you have already reached neoliberal platitudes and empty gestures, here’s some stuff to read:

meet layshia clarendon, the new york liberty’s openly trans player

serena williams has faced transphobia her entire career

here’s harrison browne’s website. he played for the metropolitan riveters and works to make hockey a more inclusive place for trans people

caster semenya’s story is about the fight against gender essentialism

team usa’s first openly transgender olympian hopes his story will inspire others

hockey’s team trans

outsports has lots of articles about federal and international cases and lawsuits regarding transgender athletes competing in high school, college, and professional sports

donate to:

the transgender law center

the national center for transgender equality

here’s a list of black-led lgbt groups that fight for trans rights

do better than reblogging a post that says “this is a lgbt safe space.” donate, learn, share about specifically TRANS issues. generic socio-political platitudes are worthless. ACT.

in the 2018-19 season i want nhl pr teams to stop fighting the fact that all of their players are fuckboys and start EMBRACING IT. fucking ask your team what their best tinder hookup line is. let them take over the team snapchat for a day. do thinly-veiled drinking games (flippy cup, pong, ring of fire) with like gatorade or some shit. make the younger guys explain memes and vines to the vets. do a series of your players going shopping and making disastrous fashion choices. YOUR PR IS BORING BC YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE YOUR PLAYERS LOOK RESPECTABLE. LISTEN TO ME: LET THEM BE DUMB AND HORRIBLE, IT’S HILARIOUS AND LOVABLE.

Jack’s List

I recently stumbled over this post and it got me thinking about Jack’s list of reasons not to like Bitty his freshman year:

Can’t take a check

Is too good of a player to not be able to take a check

Spins too much

Skates faster than me

Is always baking

Cleaned kitchen and found my favorite mug and washed it

Uses food to endear himself to team

Doesn’t need to endear himself to the team - everyone naturally likes him

Floppy hair

Doesn’t know who my dad is

Smells like a doughnut

Doesn’t eat enough protein

Pleasingly short

Bambi eyes

Always at the Haus, baking

Won’t sit on green couch unless he’s drunk - instead hovers one butt cheek on the arm of couch

Made my favorite cookies on my long day and Holster ate them all

Running shorts are too short

Can recite mom’s movie filmography

Laughter sounds like bells

Too small - he could probably fit in equipment bag

When he had to borrow my shirt, it was too big and now it smells like pie

Made me like pie - but only good pie, Cafeteria pie is terrible

Says Hey Y’all and now half of the team says it

Smells like a cinnamon roll - Shitty agreed.
