So at ice hockey tonight, coach was about to tell me: 'Noah, you need to use your body more.' But before she could, I did this... (watch bottom left screen, upper right corner, black uniform, red gloves)

That’s a wrap for Queer Clash 2026! Had an absolute blast playing ice hockey with these legends on Joe’s Juggernauts - sporting the pansexual pride flag and in honour of Joe Ball, Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💪

Looking forward to the Queer Clash ice hockey tournament this weekend. I’ll be playing on Joe’s Juggernauts - named in honour of Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Joe Ball. Our team uniform is the pansexual flag colours. Here are some of the legends I’m playing with (and against).

My mum grew up in Minneapolis. Like me, she is horrified to see ICE terrorise the city. She is also proud to see residents rally to save their neighbours and protest against tyranny. She just messaged me: ‘Minnesota nice is now Minnesota strong 💪’. Solidarity to the brave people of Minnesota. 2/2

There’s an expression in the US to describe people from Minnesota: ‘Minnesota nice’. It’s because people from Minnesota are consistently some of the friendliest souls you will ever meet. 1/2

Heated Rivalry has suddenly brought attention to ice hockey in Australia - and more importantly to my club. The Southern Lights is Melbourne and Australia’s first LGBTIQ+ and inclusive club. We get a mention in this article - and hopefully more to come. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏒💪 www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

Winning elections isnt the only measure of democracy. Chavez closed opposition media, banned opposition candidates, stacked the courts with loyalists. Absolutely he was authoritarian!

I’m old enough to remember when there was a pandemic, the Australian borders closed, and when stuff reopened after lockdowns there were massive staff shortages in all sorts of industries (especially hospitality and agriculture) because of the lack of immigrants.

And this: ‘the debate that raged in America over the protesters who chanted “from the river to the sea” disintegrated, for me, into farce. There is a single sovereign between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea and every checkpoint and road closure was a reminder of who it is.’
