A few poorly made memes to process the hot mess that has been PWHL expansion so far as I have seen and/or felt it:
DISCLAIMER: I mean these in good fun. Weāre all going through it right now and, like a good millennial, my coping mechanism is to meme my way through everything. Hang in there and hopefully our league will be better for it.
Like I understand that expansion needs to happen but it just seems so callous with how everything is going down. Some of these rosters are getting absolutely shredded and Iām curious to see what fan communities will be like next season and how this expansion process will change them (but thatās the fan studies researcher in me). Itās almost as if giving fans more information about the process has made everything seem very back alley decision making because it intimated transparency which in legal proceedings cannot really be a thing until a contract is signed.
And then I will again reiterate that, while I am glad she is vibing in Monaco, the fact that Hilary Knight is rumored to have Vegas EFO but then will immediately traded to Detroit just feels so icky in the context of her sentiments at the end of the season about staying in Seattle. Let the woman actually enjoy the end of her career with some stability (obviously unless she wanted to, then go for itāDetroit here I come).
I think I win for craziest travel day today
My train was supposed to leave Penn Station at 2:05PM
It was delayed eight times and after six of which, I was offered to modify my trip for free and somehow got an Acela upgrade at no cost.
I sat on the floor at Penn Station for 5 hours because there are no benches and the Amtrak waiting room was full because there were about eight trains worth of people stuck at Penn.
During the delay, we learn it was becauseāand I am completely serious hereāan American flag flew off its pole (allegedly by the WWE headquarters?) and got wrapped around the power lines in Stamford, knocking the power out and effectively crippling Amtrak and Metro-North service from 1:30PM to 5PM if your train originated in Boston.
My original train leaves the station at 5:50 and my upgraded Acela leaves at 6:10ish. I still beat it back.
While on the train, I learn that less than an hour after my train left, there was a mass stabbing on one of the NJ Transit platforms at Penn Station.
Truly the wildest travel day of my life.
Me and the coordinator of the conference I have been at the past few days when she saw my Victoire quarter zip:
We both were mourning the loss of Baby Goose and agreed that the logo is one of the best in any sport and just loved that womenās hockey exists.
I feel like the PWHL is still small enough that it is like finding a unicorn, especially living in a market where there is no team, when you see someone else in the wild. I also had someone comment on it at Trader Joeās when I was back home in the southern US and it was wild talking about the Wife Line and the brick wall that is Desbiens while picking out tomatoes. I love this league.

The not protecting Hilary Knight and other foundational players who slogged through the CWHL and NWHL years really sits poorly with me. I get wanting to plan for the future but it just seems wrong. You mean to tell me that the women who sacrificed their prime playing years to build something for those who come after are just being passed around the league like hot potatoes? It really makes me quite mad. Unless they want to leave and I say more power to them. Look, I will follow Captain America wherever she goesābecause my city doesnāt have a horse in this raceāand root for her team (and MontrĆ©al who Iāve rooted for along with where Knight is when I started watching) but it just feels icky how the league is treating foundational players.
Rip to people who can't stand their dissertation by the time they're done with it. Couldn't be me. I'm obsessed with it. I am chomping at the bit to expand my source base.
At my own pace
they're wives and they won the walter cup together btw. never forget that
I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter
good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week
This makes me viscerally angry. Like I am struggling to put it into words. There is so much about Carleās illustrations that is (a) beautiful and (b) complex. Itās supposed to look childlike, like an art project or a toy that children could relate to. And it was so complex with the holes and page cuts that it had to be printed in Japan because no US printers could figure out how to do it. The book is both a book and a toy. Kids are meant to play with it and see the whimsy in life.
I know weāre beefing with Mac Barnett a bit in the childrenās lit space, but this is a fantastic analysis of the intentionality in The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Get wrecked, trad Twitter.
I didnāt know I needed a Star Wars buddy comedy-esque film in my life but I am so glad that I have one now. What a romp. Not all media needs to be gritty and dark. Sometimes we just need to watch a big guy and a little guy get in and out of predicaments while we escape the hellscape that is reality for 2.5-ish hours.

Still not over it. Will probably never be over it tbh š¤·āāļø
to me, correctly using 5+ commas in a single sentence is like perfectly executing a combo in a fighting game. to me.
if you think a sentence needs 5+ commas it should be two sentences
itās not about what the sentence needs, iām afraid, nor is it about economy, clarity, or style. itās about winning, little-theatre-fairy.
Comment on my MA thesis:
laura stacey your ontario franglais has bewitched me (x)
This is so incredibly endearing and it makes me smile every time Iāve seen it in the past day. A+ for effort and commitment. I donāt know why but ātoujours funā gets me. I think itās the [ɹ] instead of the [Ź]āif Iāve remembered my IPA correctlyābut thereās just something about that combo that I canāt help but smile.
Itās also precisely why I avoided singing in French as much as I could during my music degree. I loved analyzing French art song for its text painting and prosody but if my barely southern mid-Atlantic American accent didnāt just maim such beautiful poetry when performing it. I always felt like I needed to apologize to Verlaine and de Banville because when I did sing in French it was Debussy.
(Also that switching between languages is so real. In undergrad, I went from my 400 level Spanish lit class which was taught fully in Spanishāa language I had spoken in school since the second gradeāto German 101 and I remember being so tired one day when we were practicing talking about our family that I said āIch tengo veinteuno Jahre alt y mi Schwester habe fünfundzwansig aƱos.ā My professor just looked at me with a quizzical expression and I just shrugged. It was quite a day.)
Seeing Knight host the Cup after the Victoire would be amazing. I love Knighter
But also, both of my favorite captains scoring game-tying or game-winning goals all while battling leg injuries this season? Men could never.
Updating this to one of my favorite captains led her team to Olympic gold this year with a leg injury and the other did the same but to a Walter Cup. Literal icons.
I love women in sports.

I havenāt had a hockey team in the finals let alone win since 2018 and I appreciate the continuity in celebrations between my teams:
The vibes are even more immaculate for the Victoire because itās literally all women.
OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
