Not being an accelerationist or letting people say legally actionable things in a Discord server *will* have people accusing you of being a cop, in fact.
(A picture of the Glock 17C from Half-Life) Your Result: Glock 17C. You have the gun from Half-Life and you paid sticker price for it. You are the Glock 17C Gay. and it's not your friends fault they sometimes worry you're a cop. If you stick it out for another decade or two, your surviving friends will grow into their fogeydom - which you came into young - and value you as a pillar of stability. In the meanwhile, don't be afraid to throw down a lot of money on a good time.

May I introduce you to Glory?
A picture of Glory, from Shadowrun: Dragonfall. She's a small woman with long brown hair, red eyes, and resting bitch face. Her arms have been replaced with enormous, cybernetic prosthetics at the shoulder, which end is razor-tipped claws. She wears a grey badeau, black combat boots and pants, and a hoodie tied around her waist. You can see that his mid-section has armour plating just underneath the skin.

To all the fascists and nazis and dear-leader-death-cult-fuckheads out there. Do us all a favour.
A tattoo of a skull resting at the centre of a flower. curling around the bottom edge, in block letters, are the words "FOLLOW YOUR LEADER". The letter 'A' has a bullet hole at the top. Just some friendly advice for fascists everywhere ;)

... muck it up in the corners, crash the net for rebounds, and hey! Sometimes I score too.
A hockey player, wearing #19 in a pink and rainbow jersey, uses her body to protect the puck from an attacking orange player in the corner. She wins the battle because she's awesome. A hockey player, wearing #19 in a pink and rainbow jersey, stands next to the opposing goalie in orange just after he made a save. The puck rebounded away, so she wasn't able to score on him. (this time) A hockey player, wearing #19 in a pink and rainbow jersey, shouts in celebration with her teammates after sniping on the opposing goalie in orange, low-blocker side on a breakaway. It was a sick goal, because she's awesome.

Not only do I goaltend, I skate, pass, shoot, take the body...
A hockey player, wearing #19 in a pink and rainbow jersey, carries the puck up ice while she angles towards the net. She looks very focused Two trans hockey players in pink and rainbow jerseys, #19 passes to #13 as they enter the zones over the blueline. (#13 is gorgeous btw) A hockey player, wearing #19 in a pink and rainbow jersey, shoots the puck at the opposing goaltender in orange, while an orange defenceman watches. She doesn't score, but it was a near thing. A hockey player, wearing #19 in a pink and rainbow jersey, bodies an orange player out of position during a centre ice face-off. She gets the better of him, because she's awesome.

A four-panel cartoon. In the first panel, a woman says "My GAWD these Trump people are racist", and a man in a MAGA hat says "that attitude is what's pushing me to be racist". in the second panel, the woman says "What?" and the man says "Might as well! You say I'm a Nazi so, fine, I'll be a Nazi if that makes you happy." In the third panel the woman says "it... doesn't." and the man says "I bought this Waffen SS uniform for Halloween. You'll cry 'offensive' so maybe I'll just wear it every day." In the fourth panel, the man says "I just hate to do this. I feel bullied, really." While he buzzcuts his hair and has a swastika tattooed on his arm.

Today might be Trans Day of Visibility, but this is my Every Time I Have The Net kit.

Loud and proud, and I wont let anyone forget it.
A ice hockey goalie in trans flag-coloured equipment, a rainbow jersey with a San Jose Shark blahaj logo, and a helmet that says "Give Us Our Roses While We Are Still Here" on the front, and "PROTECT TRANS KIDS" on the back.

Day 6 of ???, VH/RVH

Vertical-Horizontal and Reverse Vertical-Horizontal. Methods of attaching yourself to the post when the puck is beside or behind the net. VH, your post-side leg is vertical; RVH, the opposite

VH is older than RVH, but RVH is the method de jure for butterfly goaltending.
A goalie in white, pink, and blue, saves a puck with her blocker. Her right leg is parallel to the ice, and her left leg is perpendicular to the ice. Her body is held in a very upright posture, able to quickly react to an evolving play. She looks VERY cool 😎 A goalie in white, pink, and blue, pushes to her left-hand side while in the butterfly, with her left leg parallel to the ice. Her right leg trails behind, angled up slightly. The entire bottom portion of the net has excellent coverage, and she is well positioned to track the puck when it gets close to her body. Again, she looks VERY cool 😎

Day 5 of ???, playing the puck.

If you want to play the puck well you need to do 4ish things.

1) cut your stick down so that your top hand stays below your shoulder. This gives you power and control

2) use a reverse-grip for your bottom hand. Again, power and control
A goalie in white, pink, and blue, elevates the puck for a pass. This is a 'good sauce'. A goalie in white, pink, and blue, doesnt get nearly enough elevation on a pass to her defenceman. This is a 'weak sauce'.

Day 4 of ???, technical breakdown to follow.

OK, so: series of pictures, what's happening here?

Puck has been passed to the right wing, on my left-hand catcher side. I'm tracking it from the top of my crease. Head, shoulders, and hands are facing the puck, but my hips are not.
A goalie in white, pink, and blue stands near the top of her crease. She is tracking the puck to her left, head, shoulders, and hands already pointing in that direction; her hips have not yet swivelled to square themselves to the puck. (check previous alt-text) A moment later, the puck is shot at the net. It is going towards the upper right section, towards a gap above the goalie's right shoulder. Her blocker and shoulder are raised to cover this gap, and her catcher has been brought across her body to try and catch the puck; however, the puck hit the edge of her catcher's pocket, folding it in. (see previous alt-text) The puck is now behind the goalie's catcher, but deflected off her shoulder. Its trajectory will carry it above the net, even though she failed to catch it. The goalie's head has turned to her right, as her eyes track the puck behind her.

Day 3 of ???, getting scored on :/
A goalie in white, pink, and blue looks behind her as the puck enters the net. Having committed to playing the shot, she relied on her defenceman to remove the threat of a backdoor pass, but it was for naught. At least she still looks cool. A goalie in white, pink, and blue, makes a save with her left leg. The puck is rebounding out to her left-hand side, where a waiting opponent has shed his defensive coverage and will shortly put said rebounding puck into the net. The goalie suspects that her opponent's camouflage socks have something to do with his elusiveness.

Day 2 of ???, pics from a scramble in the first period
A goalie in white, pink, and blue saves the puck while the opposing player tries to elevate it over her pad and glove. The goalie is utilizing a highly technical manoeuvre called "flailing around and hoping the puck hits you" A goalie with white colouring, and pink and blue highlights, in its natural habitat. The goalie is sitting on its bum while handing a puck to a referee. During the summer, and periods of intense physical activity, goalies can often be seen cooling themselves by laying on their backs and making snow angels

Day 1 of ???, posting pictures my friend Tina took at one of my hockey games

(pics from warmies)
A goalie in white, pink, and blue, leans forward on her right leg to stretch her groin. On her chest is the Sharks 2023 Pride logo. Fuck James Reimer. A goalie in white, pink, and blue, skates near the boards, pointing at the camera with the toe of her stick. She's laughing about something unfunny. A goalie in white, pink, and blue, looks down and to her right. What's she thinking about? Probably cats. A goalie in white, pink, and blue, stretches her back by folding herself in half over the boards, while looking towards the ceiling. The photographer says that it hurts to look at.

My mom fixed my very first baby blanket, by hand, by stitching my hospital receiving blanket over the holes.

I... my grandma made a blanket for every grandkid. She passed during COVID. We put that blanket away over twenty years ago to keep it safe.

I don't know what i did to deserve her.
A quilted blanket, with a pattern of playing teddy bears. in the middle, hand-stitched in place, is a hospital receiving blanket with a pattern of blue, yellow, pink, and green balloons. The aforementioned blanket at the head of a bed, folded across pillows. Below is Billie the Blahaj. On the blanket is a large, black cat who has decided that the blanket is hers now, actually.

I did promise pics of my trans pride kit when I got them, so, here they are. Hockey is the best sport in the world, you'll never change my mind.

(Props to McKenney for sourcing candy-pink polyvinyl for the accents. Pad manufacturers need to do better about their colour offerings)
An ice hockey goaltender in white, pink, and blue, stretches out her hips on the ice. Her left leg is laying backwards and her right leg is opened at a right angle while she pushes forward. An ice hockey goaltender in white, pink, and blue, smothers a puck against her pads while in the butterfly position. Three players from the opposite team, in maroon, hover nearby hoping for a rebound that never comes.
