Tl;dr: ensimmäistä kertaa Jääkiekkoliitto, Liiga, Auroraliiga ja Mestis osallistuvat virallisesti Helsinki Prideen (ja ylipäätään pride-kuukauden viettoon)

ENG: The Finnish ice hockey association and the three major leagues (womens highest and mens highest and 2nd highest level) are officially participating to Helsinki Pride for the first time as part of athletes/sports block coordinated by the Finnish olympic commitee. The block honours the memory and legacy of Janne Puhakka.

I get that people are tired of hearing about Bedard because the NHL has made him the poster boy for hockey this year, but he didn't ask them to do that. It's not his fault that the NHL is being so annoying about him.

He literally turned 18 four months ago. He's barely an adult, and people are bullying him - and that's what the fuck it is by starting rumors about his mom having sex with one of his teammates - for what? Because they're tired of hearing about him? He's a fucking kid just trying to play hockey with the weight of the NHL and an organization trying to claw itself out of the hole of a very bad reputation in the league.

Go fucking complain about the Tkachuk brothers, or Brad Marchand, or Brad Marchand's nose, or Brad Marchand's height, or how much you think Brad Marchand is a rat, or Jacob Trouba, or literally any fucking thing else, and stop being a fucking garbage person.

Headlights are just too bright now. We gotta regulate them.

(And before anyone says it’s just an aiming problem - no. Like I apologize to the headlight aficionados clearly lusting after lighthouses, chernobyl, or the death star, but no amount of aiming is gonna fix the fact that the moment your car encounters any kind of hill, curve, or bump, my retinas are vaporized by a shade of blue-white previously known only to god. Just accept your limits and settle for a soft orange like the rest of us)

this is no joke.

it's a legit safety issue. plenty of drivers who wear glasses or get migraines or any number of other things legit can't handle the brightness. it fully blinds multiple drivers I know. I have friends who do not have actual night blindness who avoid driving at night and limit to back roads at night because of this. I don't drive, but as a low vision passenger with photosensitive migraines, going somewhere at night is horrible for me. my vision comes and goes from the impact of those fuck-you-bright lights and I almost always come away with a migraine. I have been in cars where we have had to pull over because someone passed us with "cops spotlight" bright headlights and the driver legit couldn't see for a minute. I've been in a car that was inches from being driven off a protected drop because someone had lights bright enough that the driver flashed them to turn their brights off and the other persons response was to actually turn their brights on and it legit blinded the driver (and me in the passenger seat) for several minutes. we had to pull over and the other passenger had to drive because the original driver had a migraine after that. a few of these are definitely examples of assholes whose lights cannot be street legal, but several of them ASR just normal cars with center of the sun headlights.

after a certain point of brightness, it adds nothing to safety for the person driving the eye of Sauron car. and even if you want it past a certain brightness, the normalcy of the colder and colder blue white lights makes it even more dangerous. the brightness should be standardized, and the color of the light should be standardized to a warmer shade. more similar to the lights you used to see on cars. it's okay if the brightness standard is a bit higher than what those old lights were, but it should be far less than some of the people I've seen

hyvää ystävänpäivää

niille, joiden ystävät asuu kaukana

niille, jotka on etääntyneet ystävistään

niille, joilla on vain hyvänpäiväntuttuja

niille, joiden ystävät on huonoja ystäviä

niille, joille kumppani on ainoa ystävä

niille, jotka ei jaksa pitää yhteyttä ystäviinsä

niille, joiden ystävyyssuhteet on netissä

niille, joille kukaan ei toivota hyvää ystävänpäivää

you are, what? 12, 13 or something? it’s the middle of a monster war on manhattan and your whole cabin of siblings is being crushed by the invading army. you know it’s bad when annabeth chase and percy jackson arrive on scene, because they’re the special ops unit and they’re only sent to help in dire circumstances. and then you watch annabeth chase get stabbed. you watch percy jackson fight the minotaur, for the second time. you watch your head counselor - your leader and most skilled archer, the guy you answer to and look up to - perish as percy jackson blows up an entire bridge to stop the army from pursuit. and then percy jackson, hero of camp half blood and child of the prophecy, looks at you, one of the last campers standing. he “grabs” you, steals a motorcycle, throws you on it, and whisks you across a city of battle and chaos to get to his dying girlfriend. and then he asks you to heal annabeth chase. he is desperate like you’ve never seen before, and he places his best friend and the camp’s most admired demigod under your care. you’ve likely barely spoken to percy before, but annabeth is vital to stopping kronos, and suddenly the fate of the world is in your hands. somehow, after all that trauma, you keep calm and heal her anyway. ultimate respect to will solace.

I have a whole headcanon on that “belt” now.

I’ve been sick so I’m only just now learning about the situation involving Auston Matthews, and I have to say that I’m disgusted. Leafs fans are defending him on Twitter and calling him their “king” for mooning an officer, but conveniently forgetting that the reason he was arrested in the first place was because he and his buddies were drunk and thought it would be funny to try to get into the car of a woman who did not want these strange men in her car.

I’m a woman. I’ve been in situations like that before. It’s fucking terrifying. After a grown man chased me to my car after work, I started carrying a taser with me because I was TERRIFIED it would happen again. I always carry my keys between my fingers as a makeshift shank, my eyes are up and constantly searching for any danger and I nearly sprint to my car whenever I’m alone.

Any “talk” of Auston becoming Captain (which has basically just been rumors at this point) should immediately be ceased. You want a man who enjoys intimidating women and blames it on being drunk to run your team? Fine, but don’t expect me, and many other Leafs/hockey fans, to continue to support an organization who would give Auston the ‘C.’
