ELIAS PETTERSSON LOSES HIS SKATE Canucks vs Oilers | October 26, 2025

Anyways this is a reminder that Laila Edwards made history DURING black history month!

She is the first black woman to play for the U.S women’s team.

She is the first black woman to score a goal for the U.S women’s team during World Juniors AND the Winter Olympics for the U.S women’s team.

And she is the first black woman to receive a gold medal in hockey for the U.S women’s team!

Apart from that, I just found out that the U.S women’s hockey team just declined Trump’s invitation. They’re the real world champions!

and i also think it’s ridiculous to diminish this by saying something along the lines of “they’re rich white men and we should just expect this”

we can’t just dismiss people’s actions because they’re in a position of sociopolitical privilege and if we continue to normalise those in positions of privilege upholding the systems of oppression that benefit them, nothing will ever change.

i don’t care if they’re rich and white, at the end of the day they’re grown men and they should know about the world they live in and have a back bone and empathy for other people. i will not accept their bigotry simply because they don’t have personal experience of systematic oppression. if anything i hold them to higher standards because they have that relative social power to challenge bigotry.

buddying up with trump and kash patel is not okay no matter how privileged you are and i refuse to hold them to lower standards. they are from places where they get to witness first hand the impact of this administration or they have latino heritage or idk their fucking mother works for the team at the butt of the jokes they’re laughing at.

being privileged is not an excuse. they have the money, power and the resources to learn and they should have a back bone and use their fucking brains.

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

elaborating on the post i made last night, women’s hockey is where it’s at if you watched heated rivalry and want to see it happen irl!!!

the montreal victoire have a married couple on a line together (captain marie-philip poulin and assistant laura stacey), which led to this iconic line. and yes that’s them wearing shirts of it at their bachelorette party

as for RIVALRIES let’s talk about the OGs, captain of the american team julie chu and captain of the canadian team caroline oullette, who now are married and have children together!! they played against each other in THREE olympics

not to mention current rivals, girlfriends emily clark (assistant captain of the ottawa charge) + jamie bourbonnais (assistant captain of the new york sirens) who met and played together on team canada

the vancouver goldeneyes have TWO couples on it now, captain ashton bell + rookie nina jobst smith and veterans michaela cava + emma greco, who are finally reunited after playing against each other on different teams last year

and that’s just a small percentage of the players who are together!!!

anyways the PWHL season is on now, watch it (on TSN/CBC/Sportsnet in Canada and on YouTube in the USA/internationally) if you want to see actual gay hockey players
