Only a Northern Song

What you have discovered is pretty much a hockey blog run by one Canadian in her twenties. I mean, it's not COMPLETELY hockey, but 99%. That's just how I roll on Tumblr.

I'm also a Leafs fan. Was born and raised that way. If that's going to cause you problems, you best be moving on.

I also post art I do from time to time.

...But please, don't ask me about Phil Kessel. Whatever you've heard is probably not true.

  • plot twist: yahoo buys tumblr and we get proper blocking features, lockable posts, a sent folder in messages/fanmail with a better interface, ability to search multiple tags, removal of the post and message limits, proper search engines for likes/archives and removing that bloody "reblog as a link" option.

Okay. I have a number of drafts saved up about this that I never bothered to publish, so I thought it was finally time to address the ridiculous accusations tumblr users level at people who “hate” Talisa. Part of the reason I’m doing it is because some of it has been pretty directly targeted at me and I’m sort of tired of it and want to educate people who are objectively wrong for a number of reasons.

So In Defense of Talisa Hate

RIP Elijah Harper 1949-2013: Iconic First Nations leader who said ‘no’ and changed the course of Canadian history (x). 
In 1990, he held up an eagle feather in the Manitoba legislature and voted no to allowing the Meech Lake accord to come to vote. His opposition was viewed as a key moment in the accord’s eventual fall. Harper felt First Nations people were not being recognized in the constitutional process in a meaningful way:
“The problem is we, as Aboriginal people, have not been dealt fairly, and also the governments have not dealt with the aboriginal issues the way we would like them to have. I think we have always been dealt with as second-class citizens and aboriginal nations are not a priority for first ministers and governments across this country.”
His family released this statement.
“He will have a place in Canadian history, forever, for his devotion to public service and uniting his fellow First Nations with pride, determination and resolve. Elijah will also be remembered for bringing Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people together to find a spiritual basis for healing and understanding. We will miss him terribly and Love him forever.”
He was a hero among First Nations people who helped power the movement for Indigenous rights and equality. His legacy continues to inspire Native people across Canada today. He was a true example of being “Idle No More” over 20 years before the movement’s birth.
Wah-chay and meegwetch, Elijah Harper.

The ads are big thing.

Bit if Tumblr shut down, wouldn’t all the fandoms just move back to Livejournal and Dreamwidth?

Other than giving up and shutting Tumblr down, I don’t see how Yahoo could make Tumblr any worse than it already is.
