so fun fact: montreal currently has the highest win percentage at 61.54% [24 points earned / 39 possible points]. however, if you look at total possible points through the end of the season [current points + games remaining x 3] Montreal is also tied at first [ w/minnesota] with 57.

#pwhl montreal #pwhl #the other possible points totals as of 2/24 5:23 p eastern #Toronto 55 #Boston 54 #New York 52 #Ottawa 49 #listen i love sports statistics #and the pwhl website makes them so accessible #unfortunately while the pwhl website updates goals as they are scored #other statistics are only updated after the game #which creates quite a mismatch but i am aware of the problem and actively counteracting it #:) #i would have an excel but i am moving away from screens #so i have paper tables set up or in progress for all the sports im following #really it's so that i don't have to constantly check my phone to know the numbers

So are all enormous American cities batshit to drive in or are places like Phoenix an exception with the mix of dumb tourists like me and Canadian snowbirds and younger people with 0 fucks to give?

#like it was a nice place to visit but I am SO glad *I* was never in the driver's seat 💀 #for a country constantly paralyzed by the fact that you are literally never NOT one lawsuit or hospital bill away from homelessness #Americans are like. UNHINGED. about driving. And I mean UNHINGED (DEROGATORY) #Do you know. How WILD you have to drive. To make me miss drivers with *Alberta/Saskatchewan/Quebec* plates? #kat gets personal #me #yes this is why I was busy. Brain will be screaming I've caught covid for a bit despite all of us but my niece masking diligently #(she's quite little and got sensory issues so she gets a pass imo) #Also comparatively Toronto and *Montreal* look normal and chill

Have you seen the animated gotg show? What is your opinion if you have?

i think i watched a few episodes back in the day? maybe the first season and then other episodes here and there i honestly can’t remember. i mean it was fine i guess! it’s obviously not targeted at my age group or anything so it was very simple but it was a fun gotg Lite thing for introducing younger folks to the team and the dynamics and what not. very much mcu inspired and dialled up to 11 i think. but also bonus points for including adam, sam and mantis before the mcu did. even if mantis was a villain, i remember finding that very funny.

from what i remember i can’t say i necessarily recommend it but it was a harmless little thing for kids

#if ur looking for other adaptations my favourite is the eidos montreal game from 2021 #banger of a game!! Also the telltale one is quite good and has a v cute peter #ask

i’m moving to new york in like 5 months because i got a job offer and just kinda impulsively said yes… any advice for new ppl moving to new york :’) im kinda worried

first off congrats on the job!! That’s so exciting and will probably make things easier in a lot of ways, that was the hardest part of getting an apartment for me and the job market here (like most things) is pretty competitive.

That being said I highly recommend looking into what apartment hunting is like here well in advance. Not just researching neighborhoods (it’s good to check which trains go to where you work, if you’ll be going in) but also dealing with brokers fees and knowing what amenities you need, figuring out if you’ll want roommates, etc, since my experience was basically that you need to be ready to apply on the spot when you tour, especially in the summer. There’s a lot of resources and a whole Reddit page dedicated to renting here that I found pretty helpful. I had a sublet for 2 months so I could have time to find an apartment. Things on there go quickly but listings project can give you a good idea of what’s out there, I think I found my apartment on streeteasy but toured like 15 places altogether.

In terms of other things, you’ll figure out the trains and navigation with time. What I wish I had done differently is doing as much as possible with the initial inertia of when you first get here: reaching out to any connections, dating, buying crazy shit on Facebook marketplace, exploring neighborhoods. It’s totally overwhelming but also highly motivating because you aren’t grounded by anything yet. Once I got settled and more secure I definitely lost most of that energy and I wish I had done a bit more when I had it, I feel like I’m just now trying to explore on my own more months later. Oh and download the got2gonyc bathrooms google map, it will probably save ur life at some point.

Honestly everything else (friends, activities, go to spots) I’m still very much figuring out for myself! It’s a unique city from everywhere else I’ve lived and it’s normal to take a long time to adjust (again I still am). Say yes to any opportunity you can to meet new people and try new things. Read up on the history of where you live and the places you go and be mindful of others around you. I find that New Yorkers are not always “friendly” but tend to be mindful/look out for others and are quite willing to strike up a conversation, at least compared to the PNW where I’m from. In general, people are pretty open to meeting up but it can be hard to really get to know one person. Wishing you all the best with the move and again congrats 💓💓

#this is already quite long but feel free to ask anything specific if you have other qs #for reference I’ve lived in pnw cities montreal and Tokyo so a lot of ‘big city’ things don’t really phase me and aren’t that different here #but overall the size and diversity of the city and how small a social circle can feel once you’re part of it can surprise you #I’ve ran into people I know in totally random places here and I don’t even know that many people lol #oh also I moved here in July

Yesterday I wore my Toronto Maple Leaf’s pride hat to the the PWHL game at the Bell Centre and afterwards, a Toronto fan holding hands with her girlfriend (who was wearing a Habs jersey and very obviously a Montreal fan) walked by me and said, “hey I like your hat” and her girlfriend said “no, no you don’t” in response 😂

#hockey is truly such a beautiful sport #nothing divides and brings people together quite like a Toronto/Montreal rivalry

'We Are Broken': Muslim Professionals Quit “Fascist War Criminal France” in Silent Brain Drain

According To a Survey “71 Percent” Say They Have Left in Part Because of “Racism” and “Discrimination.”

Highly-qualified French citizens from Muslim backgrounds, often the children of immigrants, are leaving France in a quiet brain drain, seeking a new start abroad in cities like London, New York, Montreal or Dubai, according to a new study.

The authors of "France, you love it but you leave it", published last month, said it was difficult to estimate exactly how many.

But they found that 71 percent of more than 1,000 people who responded to their survey circulated online had left in part because of racism and discrimination.

Adam, who asked that his surname not be used, told AFP his new job in the United Arab Emirates has given him fresh perspective.

In France "you need to work twice as hard when you come from certain minorities", he said.

He said he was "extremely grateful" for his French education and missed his friends, family and the rich cultural life of the country where he grew up.

But he said he was glad to have quit its "Islamophobia" and "systemic racism" that meant he was stopped by police for no reason.

France has long been a country of immigration, including from its former colonies in North and West Africa.

But today the descendants of Muslim immigrants who came to France seeking a better future say they have been living in an increasingly hostile environment.

They say France's particular form of secularism, which bans all religious symbols in public schools including headscarves and long robes, seems to disproportionately focus on the attire of Muslim women.

Another French Muslim, a 33-year-old tech employee of Moroccan descent, told AFP he and his pregnant wife were planning to emigrate to "a more peaceful society" in southeast Asia.

He described wanting to leave "this ambient gloom", in which television news channels seem to target all Muslims as scapegoats.

The tech employee, who moved to Paris after growing up in its lower-income suburbs, said he has been living in the same block of flats for two years.

"But still they ask me what I'm doing inside my building," he said.

"It's So Humiliating."

"This constant humiliation is even more frustrating as I contribute very honestly to this society as someone with a high income who pays a lot of taxes," he added.

Second-Class Citizens

A 1978 French law bans collecting data on a person's race, ethnicity or religion, which makes it difficult to have broad statistics on discrimination.

But a young person "perceived as black or Arab" is 20 times more likely to face an identity check than the rest of the population, France's rights ombudsman found in 2017.

The Observatory for Inequalities says that racism is on the decline in France, with 60 percent of French people declaring they are "not at all racist".

But still, it adds, a job candidate with a French name has a 50 percent better chance of being called by an employer than one with a North African one.

A 30-year-old Franco-Algerian with two masters degrees from top schools, told AFP he was leaving in June for a job in Dubai because France had become "complicated".

The investment banker, the son of an Algerian cleaner who grew up within Paris, said he enjoyed his job, but he was starting to feel he had hit a "glass ceiling".

He also said he had felt French politics shift to the right in recent years.

"The atmosphere in France has really deteriorated," he said, alluding to some pundits equating all people of his background to extremists or troublemakers from housing estates.

"Muslims are clearly second-class citizens," he said.

Adam, the consultant, said more privileged French Muslims emigrating was just the "tiny visible part of the iceberg".

"When we see France today, we're broken," he said.
