take me with you, or let me follow

a new season of hockey in the pacific coliseum is in the books :)

There's SO much pressure to be/look feminine in a traditionally marketable way! Pretty much all of your secondary revenue (which is important when your 'pro wage' is essentially a stipend) relies on you being camera-friendly! Brands targeting dudes are not generally investing in female athletes, your brand deals are likely with companies who want to put a "strong female spin" on a very tradItionally girly product! YOU ARE SEEN AS A MORE VALUABLE ASSET TO THE SPORT IF YOU ARE PRETTY AND FEMME AND STRAIGHT DUDES THINK YOU'RE HOT

Please read insanely decorated Team USA and Seattle Torrent captain Hilary Knight talking about the male gaze and getting gender weirds when being asked to bulk up and struggling to come out because she was The Face Of Women's Hockey and everyone was soooo glad it was a nice femme face!

For my non-Canadian followers, please share this petition and hopefully this will further the reach to other Canadian users on this platform. It is abominable that any company in this country help or in any way facilitate the unconstitutional and dehumanising acts that ICE has done. In my city of Vancouver, we have been protesting and boycotting Hootsuite, a social media platform that has a $2M USD contract with DHS providing them with social media services from 2024 to 2029. Hootsuite claims they don't use tracking or surveillance with their tools, but the mere fact that they have chosen to work with the violent group in whatever social media capacity, despite previously *turning down* a contract with them back in 2020, is egregious.

Jim Pattison Group is a enormous conglomerate also based in Vancouver, owned and run by one man, Jim Pattison. Pattison previously considered selling an industrial building in Virginia to ICE for them to use as another "holding and processing facility," or more accurately, a goddamn concentration camp, but because of backlash he reversed that decision. Thank fucking god for that, but that does not mean he won't consider it again in the future. In Ontario, ICE ordered 20 armoured vehicles from a Brampton firm called Roshel to the tune of $7.3M USD. Canada should not be arming a violent group that has shown itself to be nothing more than a racist group of masked kidnappers and power-tripping thugs that has violated the rights of US citizens and violated numerous court orders.

Cause I see people saying beaches, and I doubt everyone’s going to nude beaches… I also see a lot of people saying locker rooms too, but are y’all just stripping in your locker rooms?

It is so fun to illustrate my own fic omg... this is Javier and John's first kiss in my fic
