pass me the sillysyrup for my happyjacks

[himbeaux-on-ice]

i'm going to post below the cut the twitter links to two pieces i spent my morning reading (one in a single shot, the other in five parts) that deal with two different personal survivor stories, two different perspectives, of the intersection between the trauma of Residential Schools and the sport of hockey - the role of hockey in the lives of these men (Eugene Arcand and Doug Happyjack) both as a part of that trauma, and as an escape from it.

considering the part hockey plays in the cultural iconography and myth-making of Canada (and especially white, settler-colonial Canada), as contrasted with the sport's history of multi-faceted origins and (oft-erased) diverse innovators and pioneers, this feels especially potent, and appropriate for this blog on this day. like much of the sport's history, this connection is complicated, nuanced, and composed of a mosaic of individual experiences in which no singular perspective is universal.

these are of course not easy reads, but keeping the trigger warnings (institutional abuse and child neglect, child abuse, sexual abuse, genocide, substance abuse, racial harassment) and your own mental health in mind, i think they are necessary ones. i think especially that those of us who are not Indigenous have a certain obligation to listen, to know, and to not look away in discomfort. the obligations go so much further than that, but that is the bare minimum of where we can at the very least begin. not just today, but every day.

please be respectful of people's trauma and experiences in any reblogs, replies or tags on this post, or in the replies of the tweets and articles linked below. engage in these difficult conversations with sensitivity and consent. thank you.

Since I’ve been more active on tumblr again, I thought I’d update my blog a bit 🖤

ALBUM OF THE MOVIE, #1. More British Invasion. Took a girl to see this rockumentary in college at @iubloomington @iuunionboardfilms with two or three of her friends and we had so much fun I married her. Not right away. I might be oversimplifying the connection. This here record package is a generous souvenir, with multiple pieces and so much music I couldn’t listen to it all at once today. A thought I had as I was finishing it tonight, listening to the “Tommy” selections, is Townshend is like Taco Bell: his songwriting and guitar work have like 7 to 9 ingredients but he just keeps recombining them in interesting ways. And Moon and Entwhistle never stop doing things. It’s not how rock bands are supposed to work. They shouldn’t be doing so many things. But the more they do the more fun it is. Oh! And Tommy Smothers, who I share my birthday with, starts the whole thing out. “Tommy, can you introduce me...” #vinyl #vinylcollection #thewho #wontgetfooledagain #magicbus #icanseeformiles #happyjack #aquickonewhilehesaway #youareforgiven #pinballwizard #tommycanyouhearme #substitute #mygeneration #ellipticalsoundtrack #treadmillsoundtrack #nowspinning #nowspinningonvinyl (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKmANInGYI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xogbt1ib2ot3

Giant blades for giant wind turbines, stretching as far as the eye can see, outside Laramie, Wyoming. What am I doing so far north in Wyoming, you ask? Seems like I-70 somewhere last Denver has been on fire or something for the past few days. So we went north. #windturbine #laramie #wyoming #happyjack #trains https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDvbrZlv51/?igshid=hw5nslx8s4b

Hi @therealjacksepticeye you may not see this. You may see this but maybe you won't be able to respond to this. Whatever the case maybe I have to say something, about this community. I truly, absolutely love being apart of this community. Everyone is nice to each other. Rarely do you see people harassing and hurting someone either on here or on the YouTube comment section. It's so refreshing. I love it because on the outside, not on the internet, I'm not exactly popular or well respected. I don't even have any friends, but because of you and this beautiful community I feel like I'm at home. So I know that you say I shouldn't say this but thank you Jack. You're like a really good friend to me and I hope you know how much you mean to me. With plenty of love Lea PS LIKE A BOSS!
