Once again I am saying: fuck Kevin Fiala
Faber called for a penalty on Fiala. Faber came close to winning it just before that. Kings will have 1:32 4-on-3

I need a Sweden jersey so bad I bought tix to the Sweden vs Finland World Juniors game tomorrow just to see if they have merch
Putting feelers out there for Olympics-centered hosting at my house if any of you weirdos want to come chant with me (not USA chants but for Sweden)
I am so ready for the Olympics. I won't be leaving my house and will be streaming them 24/7. Chanting alone in my living room.

I have a lot of feelings re: Dean Evason (I’m a forever fan but the proof is in this pudding) but the clips of Billy G calling up the guys who made the Olympics team is priceless and I’ve warmed to our GM

I need a bar/restaurant/coffee shop that embodies the comfiness of Kitty Cat Klub's back upper level pool table area. Same dim lighting, ancient yet still overstuffed furniture, crazy ass art on the walls...it was perfect

This man claimed, verbatim, our society “is in an abusive relationship“ with cars. Then claims he’s using the term abusive relationship as a metaphor. Metaphorical abusive relationship. Nice.
I'm not a victim and never have been.

But just like "love affair with the automobile" does not mean anyone is fucking their cars, I'm employing a metaphor that should not in any way diminish the experience of abuse victims.

We need to take therapy speak away from the lycra community
Americans do not have a "love affair" with cars, the term typically used in the media.

Rather we are in an abusive relationship, wanting to leave but fearing the consequences.
An astonishing percentage of Americans are open to car-free living.

The problem isn't attitudes. The problem is the failure to invest in viable options.

I work with a lot of folks w/ schizophrenia diagnosis. 9 times out of 10, they have a sibling/immediate family member who is extraordinarily successful (genius level). I haven’t done research, but it seems like genetic “high frequency” brain can just go one of two ways.

His brother's mental illness isolated his family. Now he's helping other caregivers
When it comes to serious mental illness, family caregivers are crucial partners. But often, they must fend for themselves. A new solution offers them support.

it's almost like Mayor Carter's implementation of the HART program has...worked?
A major homeless encampment in St. Paul has remained relatively clean and calm, with dumpsters to keep trash in check, portable toilets for residents and frequent visits from outreach workers.
St. Paul’s largest encampment has grown, but problems have been relatively few
Unlike Minneapolis, St. Paul provides dumpsters and toilets, and city officials say that helps.

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.
