Gonna make the LA Twitter so jealous wearing the Oiler Twitter’s jersey like that.
(Also vote4bobs yes good)
Look, the Kings can flirt all they want, but if they had beaten the Wild the way the Oilers did… well, we probably would have had to watch the Blackhawks dismantle CBJ but at least we all could have been incredibly excited and happy for a little while! Sometimes pretty words are not enough, LA.

Disney job rejection letter, 1938
“Women do not do any of the creative work… as that work is performed entirely by young men. For this reason, girls are not considered for the training school.”
Literally the reason given for rejecting women is that they don’t let women do it. Women don’t do that work because only men do that work. (Also note repeated use of the word “girls” rather than “women.”)
I don’t know what I expected. Even “Disney’s policy has been to hire men for those positions,” would have somehow come across ever so slightly better? Somehow? Maybe not. Ugh. Fuck you Disney, you fucking fucks.

thankfully science funding is not a problem, and this despite the fact that many professional scientists command multi-million dollar compensation packages and will go on strike if their wage demands aren’t met
Quantz meets hockey and finally all of my needs are met.
“I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate, not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate. You are a good boy.”
Joe Biden wins at constituent services. This letter, to a Wisconsin second-grader, is so sweet and sad and just right.
Joey B, my friends.
We can’t expect things just to come again next year… We got a young group, some great players, great character in this room and I think if we all bring that again next year and we push ourselves and understand that it’s going to take even more from us, I like where we’re headed and our opportunities going forward.

Due to a time difference malfunction to the clocks in the rink and locker room, ‘late players’ were cheered on mockingly as they arrived for practice. Phil Kessel was one of the victims.
Phil Kessel is the Joshima Shigeru of hockey. <3
Hi little guys! Hiii!

ambitiouspants said: My experiences exactly - super great place to watch hockey, no bad seats, atmosphere can be AWESOME… ridiculous dearth of bathrooms. Including parents, there are literally more Staals than stalls in those bathrooms. Worth it, though!!
My reply to asks doesn’t work anymore?? But yeah, I was really glad I went! It’s still a little far for me to go for a random regular season game since I don’t have a car, but it wasn’t as hard to get to as I expected either.
My fault, it was a post “comment”, not an ask, which I think you can’t reply to. I don’t really know how best to interact with people on tumblr, although tumblr doesn’t make it easy either!
But yeah, I’m lucky because my parents live incredibly close to NVMC (and have a car). Most of my live sports experiences involve taking the PATH to Red Bull Arena so I’m pretty sure how incredibly easy travel has been is a part of why I’m now madly in love with the Islanders. XD I’ve been to great games, but there’s also just no downer of any travel stress or anything, so it’s all positive.
And I cannot get over the quality of seat you get for the price you pay - the gap with most other stadiums, especially in major markets, must be incredible. People keep talking about it lacking amenities but from a fan perspective, the only problem for me is the toilets. Of course I know that the revenue from luxury seats and more ticket sales will be good for the team, and that’s important to me, but in terms of pure experience, I like what we’ve got!!
anonymous asked: Yo, the fact that the role models of libertarianism were all white dudes profiting from slavery?
Yeah, it’s weird, it’s almost like that morally and intellectually bankrupt philosophy is just an extremely flimsy intellectual cover for preserving societal imbalances brought on by centuries of state sponsored injustice.
