The New York Rangers are one of the Original Six teams that composed the NHL before its 1967 expansion. They got their name from sportswriters, who called them "Tex's Rangers" because their founder was Tex Rickard.

They played their first home game of the 1928-29 season on November 18, 1928 at Madison Square Garden. Left to right, standing: Billy Boyd, Butch Keeling, manager Lester Patrick, Ching Johnson, Myles Lane, Taffy Abel, Paul Thompson. Seated: trainer Harry Westerby, Murray Murdock, Frank Boucher, Bill Cook, John Ross, Leo Bourgault, and Bunny Cook.

International Museum Day

According to the International Council of Museums (ICOM), a museum is "a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment." International Museum Day, founded and organized by the ICOM, aims to raise awareness that "museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples."

International Museum Day got its start in 1977 when a resolution was adopted at the ICOM General Assembly in Moscow to create an annual event "with the aim of further unifying the creative aspirations and efforts of museums and drawing the attention of the world public to their activity." The number of museums participating in the day has increased in the decades since. Since 1992, there has been a unique theme each year that is devoted to an issue that deals with the role of museums in the development of society and is at the forefront of the global museum community. There has been an official poster for the day since 1997, and in 2011 online resources were expanded.

Participating museums plan events and activities related to the year's theme, engage with the public, and "highlight the importance of museums as institutions that serve society and its development." All museums around the world can take part, with equal access to museums for everyone being a value of the day. Events may last the day, for a weekend, or for the whole week.

How to Observe International Museum Day

Observe the day by visiting a museum! Check the International Museum Day interactive map for official events near you and the International Museum Day Facebook page for up-to-date information about the day. If you are associated with a museum, organize free events that promote the role of museums in society and are related to the year's theme. Posters, information about the theme, and a communications kit can be found on the day's official webpage. You could hold your event today, on the weekend, or throughout the whole week. Make sure to list your event on the day's interactive map.

I made this dog!Claudia design a few weeks ago and forgot about it, this was supposed to be for a kwami swap but then I went "hold on...that would be perfect for Claudia" and boom. There's a design on the back of the jacket with those "beware violent dog" sign and I gave her a stop sign to knock ppl with

(also this looks messy sorry)

THE MUZZLE.

THE STOP SIGN.

'BEWARE VIOLENT DOG' JACKET PATCH??????

I'm literally in love with you. I'm going to be true to my word and printing out a photo of this to hang on my wall no matter how I have to do it. ALSO this is canon now, this is what Dog!Claudia looks like. because this design is P E R F E C T

(also, every sketch is messy, don't apologize for it! I literally have maybe 20 completed sketchbooks filled with pages that basically look exactly like this, most people don't have super put together sketch spreads, especially myself.)

#CLAUDIA FANART CLAUDIA FANART I AM GOING TO CRYYYYYYY #nocturnal notes you are my spouse now. unless you are under 18 in which case I will adopt you instead #any new dog!claudia sketches I do in the future I will tag you in them too <3 #claudia perreault #mlb claudia perreault #kwami swap #dog!claudia #thewarmembraceofshadow #claudrien nation

what i find really funny about the election so far is that i assumed rishi had some secret reason for why he called it early, but apparently there are tories saying he took them by surprise more than labour by calling it now

#political crap #unfortunately if they do win the national service thing is incredibly fucked #tempted to go and ask my wet sponge of a tory mp why she supports sending 18 year olds off to war #actually i just found out amazing news: if the polls are accurate SHE COULD LOSE #my area hasn't had a non tory mp for like 40 years! manifesting it!

Thinking about Bul being sort of a father figure to Moldova 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I think Mol just calls him something like "Uncle Tsvetan", but has accidentally called him "dad" a couple times and Bul was ngl close to crying of happiness each time

#just talking recreationally #hetalia #bulgaria #Moldova #Aph #Hws #Im giving Mol like a million parental figures lddjdjdjdjd (and a lot of them are just Ro's romantic partners lmao)#Ro doesnt know how to tell Mol when he's dating somebody(even if in present day in my hetalia verse Mol is 17-18 y/o)#So he's just like “This is your new uncle/aunt/some gender neutral term idk [insert name]!" While everyone is smiling ackwardly #He has been doing this since Mol was a kid and Mol has figured it out that most of these people arent really his uncles or aunts #(But tbf nation genetics are weird so who knows) but he's also not gonna say anything lol

u know what i've been thinking about. how the economy expects you to be, right now, at a job you've been at and consistently getting raises in for like, ten years. it's almost like the implication is "well yeah, you'll be able to live off this job in three, five, ten years if you stick with it and grow in the company" which is all fine and dandy, but i kind of need to live right now

#the queen of trash has spoken #rewrote this post six times and it turned into an essay both times and i don't really need it to lol #also thinking about the graphic i saw this morning that said the average spending power of $100 here is $41 compared to the national averag #which i guess? min wage is just over $16 here. but uhhhhhhhh i think my city is one of the most expensive in the state as far as cost of #living goes (not hard since we're the second largest city in a state of three decent sized cities and mostly large towns)#and its just crazy bc i look at my coworkers some of whom haven't been there much longer than me #who have kids and a house and stuff #and i realize oh. their husbands are engineers or lawyers. plus they're probably making more than me because they're team leads or managers #or have been there longer. meanwhile my 25 year old ass is making $20 an hour and my boyfriend is making $18 an hour #both doing highly-specialized work #and like. the idea that in ten years if i last that long both in the company and in this mortal coil #THEN i'll be making a living wage (in today's money)#is like. so wack! considering the fact that people really aren't staying in jobs for very long for various reasons #and for some positions the only way to get a raise is to move to a whole new company #it's just crazy! the fact that a 25 year old with a bachelor's degree can't even afford a fucking APARTMENT.#like everyone should be able to have housing obvs and the obvious solution to this is a universal basic income #but the fact that my experiencce in the economy is so different from my brothers (who is seven years older than me) and COMPLETELY #unrecognizable to that of my parents when they were my age. like i know billionaires are totally disconnected from reality #but in what universe is this a successful economy? /rq i know the answer i promise

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

-2 Corinthians 4:16-18

I'm being like astoundingly social lately. Starting from Thursday last week, I saw my girlfriend, then spent time with family on Friday, then saw my girlfriend again on Saturday + some of her friends, then watched a movie and drew stuff with friends on Sunday, then had a session 0 for new dnd on Monday, then watched anime with a friend on Tuesday. Off day on Wednesday. Then on THURSDAY I hung out with my girlfriend, had a study session with friend group (with mixed success at the studying part), AND watched anime with a friend again. And then today, watched a different anime with a different friend.

And TOMORROW I'm going to a concert with family and a friend, Sunday I'm hanging out with my girlfriend, then Monday I've got dnd thing again (probably? Need to double check). And then potentially more hangouts to come.

It's insane. What is this new social me. I don't think I've ever hung out with this many different people in such a short time before.

#speculation nation #it's fun though i probably will need to slow down a bit to not tire myself out bfkshfkd #the concert and the family thing last weekend are not normal occurences at least.#the movie and the study group were both from my discord server. tho with mostly different sets of people.#i think im at like... in just the past week ive hung out with... well...#3 on friday (plus saying hi to others at the temple but i dont rly spend time with them)#7 on saturday... i think it was like.. six? on sunday? i think. then Uhhhh #4 on monday. i think. 1 on tuesday. thursday had 3 new with 3 repeats from earlier in the week #and today was another person i hung out with earlier in the week #which puts me at TWENTY FOUR....... different people ive hung out with this week....holy shit....#granted on saturday 6 of them were my girlfriend's friends and im not very good at talking in a group irl #so i mostly talked to my girlfriend there. but even if U didnt count them that's still 18 people i hung out with #crazy. mind boggling. im a total introvert so this is like unprecedented.#I SWEAR I DONT NORMALLY COUNT PEOPLE LIKE THIS..... im just like. trying to put it into context for myself #and surprisingly i dont feel That exhausted by it... it helps that only 3 of these days had in person interactions #bc thats more tiring to me than just talking online. physical space takes more energy to emote etc etc #i think this is good for me honestly. spending time with people. not just wasting my life away with video games. you know.#tho i do need to balance it with writing.. i havent written anything since i posted the itnl update #and i rly need to get that reverse bang fic finished....hmmmmmmmm #ah well. i'll try to get lots of writing done next week. next week for sure..!!
