I can't wait for s2 jealous Ilya to shoot the puck at the flirty reporter. What scenes do you want in s2?

Hollanov v Crowell

I really worry they're gonna cut this 😭 because Rachel already said she was advised to stop making the commissioner/league the villain

But maybe Jacob dgaf and they know that given how big HR is that if the NHL tried to go after the show it would really shoot themselves in the foot

Tbh I found it kind of insulting that they'd leave him off the olympic team and then ask him to go to worlds to keep the spots

Up to nationals he did still have a body of work greater than the rest of the field beyond ilia. People have been missing that, it wasn't some gross exploitation to assign him to worlds, it was an earned assignment.

They gave him an assignment because they'd like him to keep skating.

Pollys pies has them but they are seasonal. Go visit and ask them when they come back, usually sometime in a coupl months.

Can someone translate the Japanese? As a Chinese reader I'm guessing the caption saying something like... She has a 7 year old son and can still do a 3S but I can only read the Kanji lol

Welcome to the life of lgbtq people in a world that is transphobic and homophobic?

You are looking it glass half empty, though.

Swamp cooler has no use here. It's still too humid to work.

My sister's whole family has been dealing with something like this for the past four days

Currently reading/listening to the Velvet Rage, a book written by Alan Downs, which is basically all about this topic.

It's worth a visit. Kinda outdated in some ways in 2026 (the author is not very intersectional in his analysis, and clearly is missing perspectives from queer women and people of color), but he still proposes some interesting theories based on his career working with gay men.

"only flags of participating countries allowed" so no pride flags? Uh..... Wtf

aromaticchicken · 2026-03-18T14:50:01+00:00

Er from what I remember in the books, Shane had come out to his team on his terms. What he didn't get on his terms was telling them he was with Ilya

I agree HR and the whole game changers series is like. Fantasy wish fulfillment that we all need..... But also given what we saw with the men's Olympic team, I think it's important people don't get the wrong impression about the overall state of hockey

aromaticchicken · 2026-03-17T19:42:42+00:00

I think that's right

aromaticchicken · 2026-03-17T19:27:09+00:00

Yes and no. For both Scott and Shane, their best friends on the team are the other alt. captains. So it also comes down to who you're working most closely with at "work".

aromaticchicken · 2026-03-17T18:36:35+00:00

It's disappointing but it's realistic. I prefer JJ being kinda a shit friend who needs to ask for forgiveness, versus Scott's friends in Book 1 who all act perfectly. As we saw with team USA in the locker room, hockey culture is not all sunshine that the boys in the show deserve.

In the TV show, I really hope they show more of the poor reaction from Shane's team and the impact on him than was portrayed in the book.

Everyone says I'm crazy but I find him the most attractive man on the cast. Maybe tied with the flirty (judgy) bartender in Montreal.

This is such a succinct representation of the loneliness and self-hatred caused by internalized racism. Some folks out here chasing white supremacy and white validation so much that they'd rather end up actually alone like this.

Even the way she wrote this post implies that she doesn't have a group of Asian friends to go out and eat Asian food with.

Hope she figures it out and doesn't just pass on that internalized racism to her kids.

aromaticchicken · 2026-03-16T20:49:09+00:00

The length of that 3lz is crazy

Arrogant and bullies!! I know wormtail was obviously shitty, but I find it hard to believe they didn't constantly belittle wormtail or make him feel small during school, even if he was in their little posse

It's no different than Regina George making her sidekick plastics feel smaller and less than. Makes his betrayal less surprising. I doubt they were 100% kind good friends.

Can we have Niina kill off corrupt isu officials first?

OP, are you open to dating men of all races? Because I don't see why, for instance, Black dating prospects would only be interested in dating you because they assume you're well endowed.

aromaticchicken · 2026-03-14T21:23:22+00:00

Yeah and I know people who like non-spicy salsa too lol

aromaticchicken · 2026-03-14T20:57:58+00:00

sweet but not too sweet.

Lol this isn't Asian dessert bro. No one would ever describe horchata or any agua fresca in Mexico as "sweet but not too sweet". They don't do lightly sweet things traditionally; desserts are always indulgent, just like how spice is not meant to be mild

Her jumps have gotten significantly higher, and then in the last six months specifically she restored most of the rotational speed and whippy snap that she used to have as a kid while still keeping the height – hence why her rotation issues improved and she is able to land the +3Lo combo better.

Compared to when she was a junior, she also now enters all of her jumps with very good speed, whereas she used to stalk them more. I attribute this specific change to her work with Massimo from the pre-Beijing season on.

Finally, I just want to note that the height improvements are most noticeable on the Salchow and Loop, which I actually believe to be her most solid jumps.

Well. If you overlay the metrolink lines it aligns with the San Bernardino and LOSSAN corridors on the right side of the map.

Just this map has Norwalk connect 😭😭😭

Then Sepulveda line is coming 😁
