hello! do you have any advice for someone who has never been a writer but is interested in exploring it?
hi! beyond "look in thy heart and write" these are my tips, with the caveat that if you ask twenty people this question you'll get twenty answers:
happy pride i’m still writing virile vi
re: pool party caitvi rifle scenario
the girls finally go on a vaycay cruise up and down the p/z coast but they’re pulled into a smuggling case happening on board. at one point while fake sunbathing poolside to stake out the bad guys, bikini clad cait gets to pull her rifle out from under her deck lounge chair and vi goes “that’s why your luggage was so heavy wasn’t it?”
alt version if whatever is happening takes place on the kiramman yacht, cait has weapons hidden all over the damn place in secret compartments. like batman and alfred do in wayne manor. strapped under dining tables, in hidden places behind paintings or a tv, even in the actual pool stored in a fake version of those rectangular ports where the skimmer is.
dying at this. she presses a button and the whole thing flips from pleasure cruiser to combat vessel
favorite sandwich shop in rva is doing weekly pride specials and this week's is "the butch aunt" and it's got all my favorite shit on it i WANT. to die
i forgot to update you guys but LOOK. what my wife did when i was having the day from hell and this was threatening to push me over the edge 🥹

the satisfaction of a snarky little reply that does not at all engage with the points you are raising lol
that little noise your cat makes when they're sleeping but you've gotta move 'em someplace else........ mwah. perfection
the noise they make when you have to nudge them away from the door so you can go to work............................. less good :(
I’m gonna be so fr rn, yall gotta stop acting like women’s sports only contributions/offerings are 1) that most of the athletes are queer 2) some sort of “morally pure” version of the sport. you don’t realize that you’re doing it but you’re de-valuing them to a point of queerness + morality meter. which the latter is just insane when there are POS’ amongst women’s sports
“Don’t watch the NHL, watch the PWHL! They’re actually gay!” why is that the only selling point to you
this is an embarrassing post that keeps ending up on my dash during pride month for some reason. i find it insidious that this is couched in rhetoric that makes celebrating that a league is (even at a surface level if that's what you want to argue) more publicly accepting of gay athletes is somehow "devaluing" the contributions or athleticism of female athletes--i don't think gay people or women excited to see themselves reflected in hockey or any other sport have ever insinuated that these are not top performers in an elite league.
i am so curious why someone might see "they're actually gay!" as virtue signaling and decide to get mad about it--what should the other selling points be, to you, for someone to sufficiently be a fan of pro hockey, men's or women's?
i guess maybe i just don't understand why it would somehow be a bad thing for someone to come to women's sports from this excited place given that the vast majority of people do not watch women's sports at all, that women do not get the same broadcasting deals and coverage, that they do not get the same sponsorships, that they are underpaid, that their seasons are truncated and they are competing for (and often losing out on) ice time with the men, and yes, that misogyny and homophobia are factors many of them encounter both on and off the ice in a way the men do not. to say nothing of the fact that as we speak a man credibly accused of gang rape is in the stanley cup finals.
but, to your point--of course there are "POSs" in women's sports, too. this is true everywhere! i think we need to be very careful that when we're talking about systemic issues in sports we're examining the attitudes that are pervasive within the league and not focusing on individual actors. it's not "moral purity" to point out the differences between what ideologies and structures are enacted within men's and women's sports OR to assert that, broadly speaking, where we as fans invest our time and money and attention matters.
we need to be honest about what we're saying when we make posts like this. i need fans of men's hockey to stop putting words in the mouths of women's hockey fans and acting like this is somehow "in service" to the women and not a grab at absolution. you do not need to be absolved for watching men's hockey but you do need to stop making your guilt or feelings of unfairness everybody else's problem
i think it’s very interesting that this is what you got from my post, wherein i never once said that the women’s league being heavily queer was bad or wrong, or like… was some sort of issue with it.
i think you should consider that, maybe, you and i run in different circles when it comes to hockey. you may not see posts where people are like “watch women’s hockey—they’re actually gay!” but that doesn’t mean that i don’t. you say that i think it’s virtue signaling, but that’s not what im saying at all. i think it’s great for other queer women to be excited about a league that represents them, the problem comes from when i (this is very important here) see posts whining about the lack of viewership when it comes to the PWHL, because “people write fic about straight white men when they could be watching real queer people”. like, again, it’s great that queer people get to see themselves on ice! great that they get to see queer joy and success and talent, but it’s a problem when you’re trying to get people to watch, and the first selling point that is always offered is “they’re gay.”
“what should the other spelling points be, to you, for someone to be a fan of pro womens hockey?”
i think you’re misinterpreting my post. im not talking about people who are already fans of pro womens hockey. if someone is a fan of pro womens hockey because the girls are queer, power to them. i really don’t care about that. there are people out there who are fan of men’s hockey because they’re hot. literally does not matter to me one way or another. the part that im specifically talking about is that i have seen numerous posts where they’re trying to encourage people to watch the PWHL and that is the only thing they have on there. nothing about the goaltenders being insane, nothing about the competition between the girls or the talent any of them have. i follow several PWHL tumblr accounts, so its not like my dash is purely men’s hockey. ive seen so many insane clips from this past PWHL season, but these are somehow always left off in the aforementioned posts i see.
why spend the time making a post that is trying to get people into women’s hockey, and not provide anything besides their sexuality as to why you should watch it? this is what i mean by you’re de-valuing them. you’re trying to get people in a sport (important) but not highlighting any of the feats of the women within it. there is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out that the PWHL is heavily queer (i would hesitate to say anything about their politics; queer people are not immune from being conservative) but when it is the only rhetoric repeatedly offered, it starts to feel like (certain) people only value this league for the representation, not for what the only are actually doing on the ice. for people to want to give their limited time to a league, you have to offer something to watch. highlighting the talents of mpp or Sarah nurse or aerin frankel is literally how you grow the sport, by showing them there is something to watch. it’s absolutely great that there’s representation for young girls and queer women, but the league is also a product, and you need to sell the product. not just what goes on in the personal lives of the athletes.
again, you may not have seen any of these posts, but i have, and just because you haven’t experienced, doesn’t make me automatically wrong.
i don't think i am misinterpreting your post. i am taking issue with the claim that it's somehow a bad thing for existing fans to use this as a selling point, even the only selling point, to get non-fans invested. i disagree with the assertion that this is somehow turning potential fans off of this sport (in which case i'd also ask why!) or that existing fans are required to make laundry lists of all the reasons to give the pwhl a chance when they're making stupid posts on the internet with their friends.
people use "it's gay" as a selling point all the time for books and tv. it doesn't somehow make everything else that media has to offer not exist or not also be a selling point, even if it doesn't come up in every post. and, as i'm sure you're aware being a person on hockey internet lol, many people are now fans of men's hockey specifically because of heated rivalry and i don't see that as somehow "devaluing" men's hockey, even if that's the only or was a compelling enough reason they decided to give it a shot!
the posts you're talking about, are, i'm guessing, speaking to this frustration, that the automatic jump is to the men's league, and that it takes so much more effort to get people to pay attention to women's. again, what i was troubled by is this post taking something you admit is anecdotal and making it a larger problem when i don't think anyone who is actually invested in the success of pwhl and women's sports leagues more broadly is doing this, or that it would really be an issue if they were.
that little noise your cat makes when they're sleeping but you've gotta move 'em someplace else........ mwah. perfection

i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.
