ANYONE ELSE WHO IS IN THIS SITUATION you can still go to the library! It is a public space! You might not be able to take things home, but if you take a book from the shelf and read it while you are there, the data still gets collected!!

(sorry using your ask box to spread info I wish I had a few years ago)

That is very true! Public libraries are... well, public! You don't have to show your card to get in and enjoy the AC, free wifi, and books on the shelves. Many libraries also do not require a card to attend programs.

If you're in this type of situation, you should also talk to the local librarians and see if you CAN get a free card! Here at LCPL we have what we call reciprocal agreements with all of our neighboring library districts to allow their taxpayers to get cards with us, and a similar agreement with libraries statewide. This type of card is usually limited - for us, it means reciprocal cardholders can check out physical materials only with no digital access - but it can be very useful!

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my friends have always gendered me correctly and stick to it even when it confuses other people and my friend's little sibling calls me older brother in Kannada yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my dog learned my new name quicker than the humans and she runs to give me a kiss when she's told to without being confused about who's being referred to

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I can feel the Adam's apple growing in my throat and my muscles getting stronger, and my smile more real and I'm growing a beard, and I talk more freely

Here's a great highlight reel from Kyle Cushman! She's a very fun player to watch— fast, tenacious, great hands. Could be a great secondary scorer for any team in the league.

She's also a Detroit native and worked with Manon Rhéaume growing up, but with Detroit (allegedly) trading their first round pick to Vegas and the expansion teams probably (???) drafting last, I think it's unlikely that Biederman goes to Detroit (kind of a bummer for her because she was really excited when PWHL Detroit got announced, but not a bummer for me because I already have beef with that team).

I watched the original Macross show recently. It is one of Shoji Kawamori‘s early works and already combines the mecha genre with romance, philosophy and music. I was quite surprised how entertaining it was and tbh I saw the prototypes of Hitomi and Van in Minmay and Hikaru. Kawamori seems to enjoy slow burns and love triangles.

(I am saying this because the picture is inspired by official Macross art.)

The Ilya we see in Heated rivalry would not be throwing the first punch, he's not an enforcer. Ilya is a star center and a Pest. He wouldn't be doing his job correctly if he was punching players every other game, it would end up with not enough ice time to let him be the playmaker he's paid to be.

But being a pest can be playmaking! Find a player to bait, emotionally push them just enough that they try to fight you, and then get the fuck out of there before the ref gives you both penalties. This gets your team the power play. There is probably someone on Ilya's line dedicated to helping him get out of the fights he starts, and finishing them for him!

I also think this is also something that Shane would respect. Ilya is good at it and it's a good strategy for his team. I don't think Shane would see it as some dirty tactic, because Shane probably thinks everyone with a brain can see it for what it is! He probably thinks everyone should be able to see that being an asshole is a tactic for Ilya, that it's something to ignore and not fall for, that it's a strategy and not personal beef.

Charles Sheeler, Skyscrapers, 1922. Oil on canvas.

Skyscrapers, which reflects the 1920s precisionist aesthetic, is one of Charles Sheeler’s most accomplished assimilations of European modernism into his own uniquely American style. Using sharply defined contours, non-atmospheric planes of color, and intense frontal light, Sheeler conveyed to the viewer a sense of monumental buildings grouped together. After moving to New York, Sheeler imposed the ideas he had picked up ideas he had been exposed to in Italy (structure) and France (modernism) on a subject that was rapidly becoming an American icon: the skyscraper. Like the Pennsylvania barn, a theme that he had explored in 1917 and 1918, it too was “simple and suited to its purpose.” In essence the skyscraper was a “ready-made” subject for Sheeler’s attempt to capture the streamlined grandeur of New York. The geometry of the buildings lent itself ideally to the creation of abstract designs on canvas.
