i think maybe everyone needs to get way more normal about irish art & media and irish people creating or even just existing in art/media cause i don't know how much longer i can see "hozier is a bog dwelling elven fae king and i don't listen to his political lyrics because i can't understand his mysterious forest king accent teehee" before i snap indefinitely. your fetishistic approach to irish art while simultaneously devaluing its messages and themes because you'd rather see it as your romanticised ideal of our culture is BORING. it happened to the banshees of inisherin on the "mental illness site" and maybe if they'd had southern england accents you'd have taken it seriously. it happened to DERRY GIRLS. derry girls. a show explicitly about irish catholicism, the troubles, life in derry in the 90s and female solidarity and you people dressed it up as some twee little mockery of itself. talk and talk about how strange the writing of finnegan's wake is and don't think critically about why james joyce, an irish man in 1939, would write a book in a confusing, dense style, with made up words with strange spellings. could this possibly be a commentary on the way the irish language has become jumbled and obscure? how it's become almost foreign to us? how for a long time it was an oral language and that didn't always translate to paper well? our art is "irish art" but simultaneously not allowed to be important art. it has to exist in that niche to marvel at but not take seriously. irish dance, trad music, celtic knots, claddagh rings, our poetry and literature and murals and paintings and our culture packed away into a neat stereotype. i see it and it irritates me endlessly.

thinkinggg ab connor "she can juggle" bedard and like. it is objectively hilarious but it's sweet that while the other guys were giving (cute! they were nice!) responses about what their mom does for them and their family, what she's sacrificed etc etc, he took the time to think about it, and came back with a fact about her he thought was cool, a talent she had and curated and was nothing to do with him or his family. like he loves his mom

making my first ever post to come to ryan leonard's defense because people seem to think he's evil.

this guy!! who's constantly smiling!! who the caps call little kid leno, who ovechkin calls baby, whose laugh is two octaves above his normal voice, who actually cared about his grades in college even though he was just there for hockey, who's endearingly thoughtless, who talks like a cartoon character, who said "it's cool to be hated" with the biggest grin on his face, who still love loves the old bc guys and lights up when asked about them, who likes his childhood bestfriend's new best friend's posts, who blew kisses at swedish fans after scoring at world juniors 2023, who posts pictures of his girlfriend on his story, who makes weird noises on the ice, who acts like a thirteen year old stuck in an nhl player's body most of the time but is also surprisingly mature, who jumps at every chance to compliment his teammates (past and present), who said duhaime "really looked after him", who loves hockey and his teammates and the people around him. i'm meant to believe *this* guy is a villain? i ❤️ ryan leonard actually

in the midst of all this samisa we are losing sambeck... we are losing them and no one seems to care. imagine you played hockey with your childhood best friend (and he played on your wing briefly) til you were 16 and went into the ohl... and he said you were an unbelievable player and you said he was a really really strong defenseman... and he was the best defenseman in the o but you knew him so well you outsmarted him on this amazing goal that everyone was asking about... and he said he let you have it because you're friends... and they told you he said that and your face lit up... and you said you wanted to do something flashy to impress him... and the articles about it said you "undressed" him... and in an interview he was asked who the toughest player to defend against was and he said you... and you were constantly asked about each other or mentioning each other... and you both got drafted in the first round to californian hockey teams... and when you were passing him to the stage he hit your leg with the biggest smile on his face... and he played his first nhl game against your team... and you dragged him away from a fight and play fought him... and you checked him against the boards but you were both smiling... and now it's all michael misa this michael misa that and they're calling him his best friend... and your strange complex relationship with him is being ignored... and you're 19... just a day in beckett sennecke's life

the thing is if you're tme (especially cis) you have to stand up for trans women over and over again. to your parents. your siblings. your classmates. your awful uncle. your co-workers. your friends. your partners. anyone and everyone. don't let it slide when someone offhand calls trans women "biological males". when someone mocks a trans woman's appearance, says trans women shouldn't be allowed in women's sports or bathrooms, when someone they/thems a trans woman, when someone makes an invasive comment about trans women's genitals, when a "joke" is made. i can't tell you how much time i've devoted to educating, arguing with, and calling out my brothers for transmisogyny, how many times i've questioned a peer on a comment, how many times i've told my mother "that's not okay". when i was eleven i argued over gender neutral bathrooms with my parish priest. if you stay silent when trans women are disparaged, attacked, insulted, mocked or misgendered you are spineless and your allyship is transparently false. DEFEND TRANS WOMEN.

new sharks tiktok is so precious to me... mack saying lick neddy by accident... toff refusing to answer any questions... zack day... dickie saying "can you read that"... sam and will saying after 2005 instead of before... graf saying "prolly a dog" with the straightest face... desharnais' aggressively and offensively bald head... my team

such a non-issue but phenomenon i'm noticing in online sjs spaces. the sharks are getting pretty popular, and as someone who was here when we were losing 10-1 in consecutive games and our 23-24 season was being called the worst season any nhl team had ever had, that's really exciting!! but a lot of people are just. not engaging with actual sharks hockey? not watching games/game highlights, not knowing like 70% of the players' names or numbers, not knowing basic nhl rules, not even knowing basic info like what a power play is, how long periods are, what a turnover is, what offsides are, etc etc. this is not a dig at new fans but a lot of people don't seem to actually care about the hockey? or the majority of the team? rpf in closed fandom spaces all you want but seeing these people who seem to only be interested in the sharks as "willmack truthers" and who analyse every clip of them while not! even! watching! the! hockey! just rubs me up the wrong way. show my obscure guys some love. i promise you it's even more fun to be a sharks fan when you love all of the team & hate w*rso.
