After all, individuals can’t control the league as a whole.
But on an organisation (like NHL) level I think it’s often used more as a “we’re not homophobic look here’s the pride tape” whilst they actively do nothing else towards homophobia (or worse, effectively permit it) and I feel much cooler towards that
And there will be people out there who hate the hughes brothers for the pride tape of it alone

Also, as I'm thinking about this generally, conflating both levels, I don't believe it unless it's negative, basically 💀
Like I believe that people or organizations hate queer people if they say so, and I don't believe people or organizations if they claim to support them, regardless of what they do lol
But i still want to see them pretend

But I’ve also not been a person who sees all the performative pride stuff from companies as a bad thing, which was a popular opinion a while ago. I understand the performative/hypocritical/surface level nature but the world doesn’t feel safer to me with it gone. But I’m just one queer person, I don’t speak for everyone.

I think there's an argument about it as a trap for liberal sentiment that captures energy that might otherwise lead more towards seeing the system for what it is and getting on board with abolishing it, but I also acknowledge the effect of it making some people feel marginally safer, which isn't nothing. It's not black-and-white.
pseudo steeple
Yeah, i think it’s complex. It shouldn’t be the endpoint of the action at all and I really think there are totally fair critiques.
I will say though that it was often the way that people in my life who have no involvement in the queer community at all had some exposure, imperfect as it may be.
It’s not that I really felt safer with it there, but it leaving definitely felt like a clear sign of decreasing safety in society, as paradoxical as that might seem.

I think they figured the CPR we learned in health class would be enough?

I’m sure they’re not when someone is dying
No definitely not for anyone. My dad is one of the poor people who have had a similar electric shocks whilst being conscious and okay ish cause his heart was in the wrong rhythm (I mean better than needing CPR but still not good) and he can confirm definitely not a life experience you want

But now I’m signing up for wilderness first aid w/ my partner and our friends bc the guys keep encountering people with broken legs in the woods and we want to feel more prepared for our own hiking and skiing

its really multifaceted for me. Part of it feels like a confirmation of what we all know was still happening in rooms like that but didnt have evidence of. Another part feels like man i really thought we were past this casual misogyny as a society, or at least there were some men in rooms like that that would stand up for the women not in the room? And then to see all the men publicly and vocally support the women, I mean Jack Hughes brought up Meghan Keller, who scored the game winner for the women, when asked about his game winner, to then see them genuinelly laught at that joke SUCKS. Feels like a betrayal and like they were using their support of the women's team for their image
plus the doubling down of it all by the team, the hughes brothers making themselves into victims and then their mom "boys will be boys"ing it really doesnt sit well
and then the UTTER SILENCE from usa hockey, the NHL and individual players as a whole really fucking blows
not shocked by that, as a former mens hockey fan for many years, silence is their go to PR move when something goes wrong and it sucks

It looks like Peacock will be showing the Lake Placid finale of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup season this Fri-Sun - Jessie Diggins' last ever event in her career!
She's leading the women's World Cup standings too so fingers crossed she will be crowned the world champion to send her off 🤞🏻 💙
At least, I can see listings for the 10km interval start and final sprint for March 21... https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/sports/sports-skiingsnowboarding-cross-country-skiing-1
There's a 20km on there that says it's from Lake Placid but listed for the 29th which makes no sense
I might do a month subscription to that FIS service to make sure I can see anything Peacock doesn't show

Hm so for the XC World Cup finale, Peacock is showing everything but at weird times. The 10km Interval Start is today but Peacock is replaying it tomorrow after the Sprint, which they appear to be airing live, and the 20km Mass Start is Sunday but they're not replaying it until the 29th.
You are a streaming service you don't have to schedule things weirdly just show it.

Me at Fox One. They make you DVR things from the live feeds instead of just having automatic replay.

Ski & Snowboard Live's broadcast rights are only for FIS events held outside the US or Austria, so it's not there, and TNT Sports in Europe seems to only be showing the sprint.
Guys. Why. Why can I not just watch this
Hmm do I want to spend 400kr (~$40) for Viaplay to get the Norwegian live coverage

I wore the ski earrings yesterday for her 4th world title which she wrapped up on Friday. Minnesota loves you Jessie and we are so so proud

there's a fan event happening here for Jessie and I won't be able to go because it's too soon after my surgery coming up (nothing to worry about) 😭

My time slot is next Wednesday for LA28 tickets will there be San Jose preliminary women’s soccer tickets left for me?
