how do we know that ja’marr was a vikings fan growing up? this is new lore to me and i am intensely curious 👀

ackkdjas ok this. this genuinely makes me insane. ja'marr being a vikings fan is actually such a CRUCIAL part of jjmarr and i'll never shut up about it.

apparently ja'marr used to have a curiouscat (of which -sorry i laugh whenever i remember). curiouscat fully shut down last year, so i can't take a screenshot myself but luckily @lethimsoak took screenshots (also screenshotted some very Joe coded answers)

and there's this absolutely hilarious article. Everyone should read it imo (apparantly Ja'Marr's always been contradictory for the sake of being contradictory), but the most important part was when Ja'Marr said STEF was his favorite receiver

For instance, take one of the most crushing losses in New Orleans Saints history. Chase’s mother, like most New Orleanians, looked on in horror as the Minnesota Vikings’ Stefon Diggs scored on a last-second 61-yard touchdown pass to knock the Saints out of the divisional playoffs this January. Ja’Marr cheered. Diggs just so happens to be his all-time favorite receiver. “My mom and everyone was mad at me because I was screaming out that he scored,” Chase said with a grin.

you can see him fanboying on twitter in 2016 and 2017:

Hello Cowboy Jen! I was wondering if you had any advice for me

Here’s the situation- I’m a young lesbian (I’ll be 17 going into college) and I’m going to study geology. I’m assuming my classes and later on my work environments are going to be mostly men since geology is a male-dominated field. Any advice for being in spaces without very many women? And picking a different field’s not a very good option either, geology’s been my obsession since I was five and I doubt I could give any other field as much attention and focus.

When I was DEAD SET on being in the DNR or a Forest Ranger or some kind of Park worker I was in my tweens and early teens. I loved the idea of working with people and animals and outside and getting to use my hands and my knowledge of land and history. Then some Jack Ass at the Corps of Engineers station I volunteered at told me women couldn't really do the job right and it was too dangerous and I lost confidence. I stopped going and didn't reapply for the Mayor's Youth Parks program I had worked at for two years. I just left the idea behind. I see now all the older women park rangers that are around and read stories of women like my current boss who was a naturalist for years in our county. I work at a nature center almost entirely staffed by strong women with the exception of the CEO, the marketing guy and one outreach guy. If I had seen any of these women in my teens i would have said "heck yeah women can do this".

You are going to be that leader, that beacon. That is a thought to keep in your pocket on hard days.

The truth about working with men is, in general, they don't really care and they kinda just feel awkward. They lack social skills around women so they end up saying the dumbest stuff. I am not saying men can't be total pains in the ass or feel threatened by you being around, they absolutely can. At the end of the day we are all human and women are 50% of the population so at some point they have dealt with women in class or at a job.

Mostly just start off with giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. Saying stupid stuff to try and be funny is not the same as harassment or hate. If you don't feel offended or insulted or threatened don't try feel like you are because you think you are supposed to be.

Look them in the eye, do listen to those who have good things to share, teach or discuss. Don't dismiss men for being men. Just as many humans, they want to share what they know and tell you what they have learned. I have been taught so much by the men I work with at the farm but I had to tell myself to listen and not just paint them in my brain as being bossy or mansplaining.

Don't shy away from questions when you need help. Ask when you need to ask and thank them for helping when they do. If you are interrupted by them say "I am not finished, please wait your turn" or something similar. Stand up for your right to share what you know or to get more information when you require it.

Basically, think of men as neutrally as possible until one proves he is to be avoided or ignored. Listen to your gut if you feel unsafe or degraded and keep notes on that behavior. If you must, tell your professor or a dept head if you feel like the bad actor will continue or possible endanger you.

Once you learn your trade you can recruit other women and share your love of your job/degree and some day it will not be more men than women around you!

the thought of mikko leaving is genuinely so heart wrenching I cannot consider it for longer than 3 seconds. how would they even begin to fit that entire decade into a highlight reel. he can't leave :( think how sad ball arena would be if they couldnt yell "mooooose" when he scores a goal

If anyone's still like "Why should I have to do bullshit busywork writing assignments for class? Why shouldn't I use ChatGPT? I don't think my professor even reads the assignments, I'm certainly not getting usable feedback on them.", and your teacher has never made this clear to you: the reason for the writing assignments that are some variant of 'Explain this process' or 'Describe one of the reasons for this event' or 'Give two possible paths for this reaction' is to help you check your own understanding of the lectures and readings.

If you try to explain something, and you get to the third step and your brain goes ??? or 'And now we perform sorcerous incantations' or 'The British!', then you know there's a missed step in the reading and you need to go back and check on that. Or the assigned readings don't cover it, and you need to look something up. Or you're genuinely in the weeds about why this was such a big goddamned deal for everyone, and you need to have you hand up when the teacher says "Any questions about the readings?" at the beginning of class or whatever.

This is how we go from passively absorbing information to being able to retain it, understand what we've been told, and synthesize new ideas and theories from it. This is how we go from memorizing facts to understanding the underlying causes and effects of things.

Damon Cassidy talking about why trades are looked down upon. Trade jobs can be really cool, and I think a lot of people would like them.

Our mother, before she became too disabled, loved welding. She wanted to be a welder in highschool and took shop class. Our dad was a trained mechanic for a long time (he's retired now) and can tell you the make and model of most cars at a glance.

Most of the men on my mom's side of the family have made good money doing construction labour.

Currently, trade education is generally cheaper and takes less time to complete.

I feel like Vincent would wear shirts from the brand "Affliction Clothing". Idk if you've ever heard of them but the name alone kinda fits his vibe.

Vincent is a simple man. If sees an edgy pattern of a tortured skeleton, he wants to wear it.

He feels a little handsome in them. And SUPER INTIMIDATING HAHAHA BASK IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR NEW LORD

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?
