i think when all is said and done the best photograph ever taken in hockey will be that shot of mitch marner trying to get past all the media people by the boards shielding his face from the camera flashes

anon, tagging is a constant dance of trying to ensure that at least (a) certain content isn't appearing in certain tags, (b) certain content can be filtered out by people who have key terms blocked, and (c) my own blog is navigable in a way that is enjoyable and useful for me.

you will appreciate that this is particularly unwinnable when posting about a ship where half the fans of one guy cannot stand the other guy and vice versa

my friend just told me a story that I think would make an incredible fic premise. his coworker drives a really old beat-up pickup truck that has been stolen multiple times. the first time he just got on his bike and biked around until he found it and then he drove the truck home. the second time he put an airtag in it and when it got stolen again he biked over TO THE SAME HOUSE and drove it home again. this has apparently happened six or seven times now. he’s given up reporting it because the police haven’t done anything about it and every time he files a report his insurance goes up. so now he’s just in a weird symbiotic relationship with the guy who routinely steals his truck

and I often wonder if god is still watching but then I remember there is no god, there is only myself. I am just myself watching myself and I have given games to all the rotten parts of me and held them up high.

Jeff Marek on The Sheet talking about Brady Martin

MAREK: And actually, I think - I gotta, I gotta check on this - I was told that when he went, when he was drafted by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds he was trying to find a billet who could accommodate a cow, because he wanted to bring his cow. (dissolving into laughter)

PHILLIPS: What?

MAREK: (laughing) For the milk! To Sault Ste. Marie. (wheezing)

PHILLIPS: What the fuck? (laughing) That's...

MAREK: So your [inaudible] billet's like, "Can I bring my cow?" I love this kid. I wanna get him on, we gotta get Brady Martin on the show.

Love ur mattdrai works so much 🥰💞💞 will there be a continuation for not here no more? You truly get their dynamic to a T

thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

sadly i don't think i'll do any more of 'not here no more'. it was a great exercise to try to hammer out the guys' voices and practice writing with some urgency, but for obvious reasons i hadn't planned out an emotional arc. i've given it some thought, but i'm struggling rn to retrospectively put one together in a satisfying way, esp when i've other mattdrai ideas jostling for attention...

so i v much appreciate the enthusiasm but no more of that series although lots more mattdrai to come in general
