The Pens won their season opener and looked actually competent while doing it. Oh no. Is this that "Hope" thing I've been told about?

Anyway, here's a throwback to my Twitter days when I posted gifs after each @pittsburghpenguins.bsky.social win.

Last season I needed "Anne Shirley" because my brain needed to escape to a simpler, kinder world.

This season, I very much need "May I ask for One Final Thing?" because my soul needs to watch this woman beat the shit out of rich assholes and oligarchs for no better reason than "She wanna."

MARVEL fox have the "TL;DR" animated shorts for a while which summed up characters and arcs for readers who are new/missed them. Dunno why that kinda content isn't front and center on their channel.

This made me incredibly happy because this song blows doors off everything and everyone singing along fucking ruled.

😭 I just said this band couldn't play anything with a guest vocalist, which was understandable and fine even though I would probably never hear one of my favorites from them live.

Well, they're doing it live anyway. I got to hear it. 😭

I'm exhausted and dehydrated. Goodnight.
