"people will act like a victim on here for disliking taash" well last time i had a big post criticising the way weekes talked about their autism i got crazy violent anons that i usually only get from terfs, cis people accusing me of transphobia because i didn't Get It, and multiple blogs saying i was an insidious ableist for weeks while calling me an infantile jobless freak . but im sure it's fine.

god why did I think selling my dad's old 2000s cellphones second hand was a good idea

I emphasize that these phones are very old collectables and their batteries need changing due to age but do you think people bother to read? No. straight up reported because this Nokia from the year 2000 does not work like a modern phone

Everyone, remind me to not trust my dad’s relatives with food and parties because they can’t do even that much the right way. The peoples are so questionable 💀

okay but seriously though. Is there a possibility that bowman has actually done work to make up for his mistakes? yeah. there is always that possibility. Does that mean he should be immediately hired? no. now don't get me wrong, i am all for giving people second chances. we all fuck up at some points. many of our favorites do. however, i will admit, when it comes to situations like sexual assault and abuse (or in this case covering up abuse), it's a bit more complicated (especially as a survivor myself). Now. I will give credit where credit is due; both Bowman and Jackson have been in contact with Beach (With Beach allegedly approving of the hiring) which is good to see. Also worth noting, Sheldon Kennedy, who was abused himself by Graham James, supports Bowman's return.

However, I do think this is something we should hear from Beach himself. Although considering the stress he probably dealt with during the scandal and speaking out, combined with how ruthless some hockey fans can get (especially online), I personally wouldn't blame him for not making a public statement.

Now with that out of the way, none of that changes the fact that Bowman did what he did. It's not going to make what he did okay. Also, keep in mind that there's still another lawsuit Chicago is facing as well, and possibly many more victims out there too, and who knows how they might be feeling right now.

I know people are bringing up the fact that he was also just... really bad as a GM (Which was definitely true, Hawks fans can vouch for this one). But that's not the fucking point here. That's not the problem. The problem is that he ruined a person's life all for the sake of a cup. In terms of forgiveness, that's up to Beach and the other victims, not us. However, we cannot deny that this was a bad decision, especially in the midst of another lawsuit against Chicago, and especially when the OILERS PLAYERS WEREN'T EVEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS. Again, I'm all for second chances. And if Beach is okay with this hiring, then great! But even then, we cannot deny the harm he's caused. Just because Beach and Kennedy are okay with the hiring doesn't mean other survivors will feel the same way. And honestly, I feel like in a situation like this, this is something you should give your players a heads up about.

Now, I'm not entirely confident the Oilers will drop Bowman (Keep in mind they still have Evander Kane). However, with the amount of backlash they've gotten, I see no reason why they shouldn't reverse this decision, and there's a slim chance with enough of our rage, we can make them reconsider. (Remember, Boston dropped Miller after both fans and players criticized the signing!). Should Bowman stick around though, we should make sure what he's done is not swept under the rug and forgotten. Nothing will make this okay.

okay last vague about it. but it's funny for me to mention that it's weird to default to calling someone names and implying they're a bigot for disliking a video game, and then the response was to call me a bigot for disliking taash and swear at me lol.

gonna kill the minotaur now wish me luck

[xirlos]

Well. Fuck. I lost my job, and now am cast amidst the waters of job seeking once more.

Should I just bite the bullet and do something self published? Should I throw together some poetry into an anthology? Should I ask my fencing club friend’s wife about the current publishing industry, where I can work out what is getting accepted and published and just play to that system?

Should I just bite the bullet and do what I’ve always been too scared to do?

I love how my unintentional excuse as to why Alestair and Idan never have to go to work is because they ran away and basically quit without notice.
