  1. On Tuesday, June 16, in Rome and other cities, new police raids hit the anarchist movement, with seven arrest warrants against as many comrades, 5 preventive detentions in prison and 2 house arrests with electronic bracelets, searches throughout Italy (including La Vampa in #Naples), and the eviction of the Bencivenga Occupato social center in #Rome. The main charge is the now classic “association for terrorist purposes” (270-bis). In addition, two comrades were arrested for the new crime of “terrorism by words” for possession of some pamphlets found during the searches.

  4. my justified hater energy towards the USA men's team continues

    (yes I know Canadian men's hockey culture isn't better, I didn't start watching hockey yesterday lmao)

    There is also a weird belittling, and somewhat misogynist, attitude I am seeing in response to to this (especially with reference to Heated Rivalry fans) that goes like "oh those poor women who are fans of men's hockey, they don't know how toxic hockey culture is. they are living in fantasyland."

    Women hockey fans understand very well how toxic the culture is; we enjoy a beautiful sport despite the men playing it. I think a lot of men don't understand the amount of relating to men, and participation in cultural things oriented towards and created by men, that most women have to do basically from the time that we are children (and I started watching hockey as a kid). For a long time, if we want to watch hockey it had to be men's hockey. If we want to watch a movie, it had to be a movie with a man protagonist. We related despite all of that, because the work was still amazing.

    I think this is also missing the reason why women like Heated Rivalry (which I actually still haven't watched despite about 20 different people telling me to watch it at this point). It's pretty obvious for anyone who is familiar with BL works, but maybe not familiar to most hockey people. It's people who like men and who like hockey, but who know how badly men behave in the real world, especially towards women, and choosing to imagine something better. A story where complex characters playing an amazing game enter into a relationship as equals. The "as equals" part is important; this is a big aspect of BL's appeal over most het stories, for straight women. Unfortunately it is easier to write 2 men as full people in a full and equal relationship than it is to write a woman and a man in one.

    It's appealing precisely because we all know how far away it is from the real world.

  7. I didn't watch the hockey game this morning but it sounds like they put on a good show, going into overtime. Winning a medal at the olympics is a pretty big deal, everyone should raise a glass to all the olympians tonight. #olympics2026

  8. Zwei Tagesdecken tragen die deutsche Fahne. 🙈 #olympics2026

  9. Wie schön, die Arena zu Verona für die Abschlußfeier von Milano Cortina 2026.
    Und sehr dankbar, dass ich dort an einem Sommerabend in den 90ern tatsächlich eine Verdi Oper sehen und hören durfte. Auch für mich als damals 20+ jährigen ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.
