I enjoy hating teams for legitimate reasons like:

"they beat my team in the playoffs when I was 10 and made me cry" (Penguins)

"they hurt players as a rule" (Blues, Panthers)

"they made me angry in the playoffs" (Hurricanes, Panthers)

"they sign rapists, shouldn't exist, and cheat to win" (Golden Knights)

instead of:

"someone decided a hundred years ago that I'm supposed to"

Hey Happy Valentine's Day! I love being mutuals with you. You were the first person I talked to on tumblr, so thanks for being nice to me 💙 I hope you are doing well and I think it is so cool you are working on your phd! having dropped out of a phd program twice (lol) I know how hard you're working! i hope you had a nice day with aleksei (and maybe human friends too)

You are the sweetest! I always love hearing from you! Your adventures at your school are so interesting to read. I know you're not having the best time, but I know that you're making a difference, and that's the most important part.

I've been having a tough time lately, and this really cheered me up, so thank you!

2026 winter olympics ... finland vs sweden .. 13.02.2026

[thosedaysthatwill]

The terrible thing about the Winter Olympics is that it makes me think I can do that. I cannot do that. At all. Any of it. I very much cannot do that. But I think I can.
