Bata Shoe Museum: T. E. Lawrence's gay sandals

Me: If anything will do numbers on Tumblr

#'called into question'#'frequently'#t.e. lawrence #lawrence of arabia #bata shoe museum #queer matters #according to the same exhibit edward carpenter was an advocate for sandals with socks #(explicitly classified under 'fashion crimes' rather than 'gay crimes')#anyway the bata shoe museum is well worth a visit if you're in toronto

A grocery store in Toronto was targeted today (January 3 2024). It was set on fire, the windows were broken, and "free Palestine" was graffitied on the doors. The grocery store's name is "International Delicatessen Foods", and so its acronym IDF was part of its signage, which was likely the factor in the antisemitic attack. That, and/or the fact that the owner is Jewish.

According to officials, police and firefighters were called to the scene at about 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday. When firefighters arrived, they saw smoke coming from the rear. Fire crews entered the building and quickly extinguished the blaze. Gray said officers found the graffiti on the outside of the building at the same time that the fire was discovered. She said police suspect the incident was motivated by hate and believe it was committed "with bias or prejudice." "We're very early on in the investigation and I must highlight when I say it's organized, they didn't just happen upon this business. Let's be not silly here. These people have targeted this business and so that means they've been here before," she said.

#i cannot understand how stupid you have to be to not realize it's just a random grocery store #anyways. it's scary. i was just in toronto visiting family so this hits particularly close.#antisemitism #jumblr #leftist antisemitism #antizionism is antisemitism #israel #i/p #jewblr #avi posts

Olympic Park, Stellarton, NS

Blayre Turnbull used to play hockey on the pond at this park so the town renamed it and put up this plaque in her (and Babe Mason’s) honour after the 2018 Olympics. transcription of Blayre’s side under the cut:

Blayre Turnbull

“No matter what you are doing, try your best….… homework, practice, work, you will not be disappointed for your effort”. —Blayre Turnbull, Olympian, 2018

Dedication to the above words of wisdom have brought Stellarton’s Blayre Turnbull a rewarding career in her chosen profession of hockey. From the lasting memories as a young child of four learning to skate on this very Olympic Park Pond, to playing the game she so loves, with the best in the world.

Growing up in Stellarton, Pictou County, Blayre had great encouragement from family, local hockey organizations, community and a variety of people. She would state “The credit most importantly goes to my family, which continues to support my dreams; my coaches at Shattuck - St. Mary’s and the University of Wisconsin, who taught me to believe in myself; and many of my teammates, who challenge me to get better and be the best player I can be”.

Is it bad that I lowkey wanna go to dashcon 2 to see how badly it turns out? (yes)

#i mean. i want to go to toronto anyway to visit a bunch of rush-fan heritage sites #so why not go to dashcon 2??? (too expensive. also. that's insane)#like. my better judgement is telling me it's a really bad idea #but my strange fixation on dashcon (the original) is telling me to go so i have stories when i'm older

obsessed with their different reactions to being called starcrossed lovers

#im gonna pretend mattie didnt die and visits them sometimes back in toronto #it's such a cute dynamic they have #the two evil (affectionate) sisters who just loving teasing laura #also one of my favourite things abt this show is the choreographing they do for the static camera #i bet it's so annoying to have to think about but i love watching them all move so coordinatedly through the frame #somehow still making it look natural #also i know laura is the storyteller one and i dont really know enough abt romanticism to make any definitive claims abt carmilla #but having scrolled her blog a bit to figure out her tastes in music and art #i wonder if theres a part of carmilla that kind of enjoys being starcrossed. or doomed in a sense #or maybe she that she wouldnt have CHOSEN this story necessarily but that she has resigned herself to it #on account of her vampire nature #and sees a certain beauty in it #that all her romances are doomed #idk. im still figuring her out #also im reinterpreting that exchange mattie and carmilla have in this scene #carmilla calls mattie a utilitarian which is probably right #mattie then callls her a nihilist and carmilla corrects that to existentialist #and mattie says absurdist at best #but those arent designations like back and forth as i had read it before #it's just carmillas philosophy theyre arguing about. i THINK. or maybe it's both of them #putting a pin in that until ive read more books #also kind of obsessed with how laura and danny and maybe the other humans are so quick to ascribe a morality to the vampires #based just on the 'shes a vampire!!' while obviously by necessity the vampires have spent wayyyyyyyyyy more time thinking abt their ethics #or maybe not by necessity for all of them but to mattie and carmilla it definitely seems like a necessity. or inevitability #they mustve spent countless hours over the centuries talking abt this if they can joke abt it in this way now #and in different states too like i can imagine distraught Im A Monster type conversations but also just sort of academic debates and also #carmilla reading some new book that has come out and mattie being like what newfangled thing are you into now #i guess utilitarianism was also newfangled at some point. theyre both older. but you know #carmilla is a poet. dont know if she writes poetry but she looks at things in a poet's way i think #also dont think shes entirely a romantic but i do think some of her tastes lean more toward the romantic

hello karfy i might be moving to toronto next year and what better way to prepare than to become a toronto maple leaves fan (i’ve seen your posts i’m very intrigued!!!) however. i have never watched hockey before so i am here to ask. how do i start

Why hello, anon!! ✨ Okay, so I dunno if I'm the best person to ask (I have been a Leafs fan since I left the womb) but I certainly have amped up my love for the team over the last year, so I'll do my best! I also asked some people in the Leafs discord server I'm in (shhh shhh no one look at me) to crowd source an answer.

So firstly, while I have always been a hockey fan, I rediscovered my love for it after I read a fanfic a little over a year ago (I dunno if you're a marauders fan, but it was Sweater Weather) which reminded me how much I love the sport. After that, I started watching more games, and I think that's really key! Watch as many games as you can, or at the very least, recaps on youtube.

I know when you first start watching a sport, it's hard to figure out what's going on if you don't know the rules, so here are two videos that will give you quick, digestible tutorials on rules and a bit about teams.

One of my favourite things about hockey is the fights. I'm a simple woman, I like to see two men beat the shit out of each other with blades attached to their feet. Here is a compilation of NHL fights.

For the Leafs specifically, it helps to get to know the players! Seeing their personailities, and how they interact absolutely make the games more interesting. Their youtube channel has all sorts of great videos, including interviews, but there is also this show they do called Blueprint. It's really well made and gives you a glimpse into the current team, and how the Leafs function as an organization. The episodes are only 15ish minutes long, and I really recommend them. They also have Tiktok and instagram accounts if that's more your thing!

Watch hockey films/tv! Might I suggest the comedy Goon, or the kids classic The Mighty Ducks? (the second mighty ducks is just as good as the first, but that may be a childhood obsession with Joshua Jackson talking)

If you can go see hockey games wherever you live now, I really, really recommend it. There's nothing quite like watching hockey in person! NHL games can be a bit expensive, but there are loads of feeder teams all over the US and Canada (and even in the UK, and Europe), so spend $25 on a ticket, dress warm, and see a game!

Finally, follow some hockey/Leafs tumblr accounts! That really helped me get the vibe for whats happening on the Leafs right now, and it's a lot of fun to follow the live blogging when a game is on. Might I recommend @domi-max, @mxaether, @wmnylander, @donttelltheelff, @kimsparis, @allthisscienceidontunderstand, @hockeyburner, @torontoicehounds, @mmmitchmmmarner, @wqller, @583416, @callejarnkrok & @3416

Hope this helps, anon! 💖

PS: Toronto also has a PWHL (women's hockey) team!! They are amazing, and I really recommend checking them out, too.

#also if you come visit toronto stop by the hockey hall of fame!#also also sorry in advance for being a leafs fan. when they are good they are so so so good but when they are bad...lord help us all #ask me #hey anonny nonny #k's hockey tag
