may never do pride jerseys and that makes me really sad BC LOOK HOW AMAZING THEY WOULD BE!! all it took me was 3 hours and a roll of pride tape! 🏳️🌈
i’m so glad they mic’d him up last game 🥹🥹
the amount of manhandling this team does to poor yam is sending me, he’s being picked up, shaken, squished in group hugs… 😭
“i don’t like THIS-“
“nope. nopenopenopenope. friends off, buddy.”
mood 😭😭
can we also talk about the fact that yam (essentially) squatted klim’s weight WHILE ON SKATES?!
this poor man </3
this is what edmonton sports media does to a player. we’ve seen it with several guys before, but the realization that this was also the reality for your favourite player is eye-opening
SOME OF YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME THAT MY FAVOURITE HOCKEY PLAYER SIGNED MY PRIDE FLAG.
to see my affirmed name and a supportive message on something so meaningful is MIND-BLOWING to me <3
thank you SO SO much for this incredible moment,

what a game! it was so amazing to get to watch 9 oilers goals and mc100!!
sadly when shawna and i were exiting ford hall someone behind us called us f*gs (ik it was about us bc they mentioned our rainbow jerseys).
so for those still not understanding hockey is for everyone,,,
i went to the lego exhibit at the telus world of science and decided to make a tribute to our lost brothers 💙🧡
yeah, i’m not taking the trade very well…
today shawna and i met ladi smid!! thank you for the awesome tape job and being such an amazing ally,

are victorious in their rematch vs the Kings & will head to Anaheim for their final game before the holiday break →
someone on the oilers media team recognized me from twitter “oh, are you that one yamamoto account on twitter?”
send help i didn’t think i’d live to see the day 😭
i don’t think anyone understands just how much yam’s hops mean to me - can everyone please just take the time to think about how skilled one has to be to jump that high and land steadily on their feet WHILE ON SKATES?!
this hurt to read.
i don’t blame him for not re-signing in edmonton after they traded him away for literally nothing.
but it just kinda sucks a little, ya know?
if i catch ANY of y’all making fun of
@RyanMcLeoder
because they chose to dress in a way that brings them joy, you WILL be catching these hands >:(
fucking let people enjoy things, holy shit?!?
hatsune micleod is iconic as fuck and anyone who says otherwise is wrong and stupid ♡
There are NO online friends. They are just strangers who are on the same social media as you. Do not trust them. Do not share anything personal and stay as detached as you can. Do not try to develop a friendship.
we got to skate on the rogers place ice,,, i got to skate on nhl ice oh my God

@PrideTape
! thank you for your kindness, compliments, and words of wisdom! it was awesome to meet and talk with you!
(i know i look gooby in the first pic but i’m embracing it)
not the response i was hoping for, but i’m still so incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience i had at auditions!
i’ll be back next summer to try out again, for sure >:3
shawna and i went to get starbucks (yes, again - go away) and some guy in the safeway saw our yam shirts and took a video of the back of shawna’s shirt and possibly part of mine?
what the fuck? 😭💀
i don’t think he was gonna put it somewhere to make fun of us but it was weird 💀
how the fuck did the ucp win
i have never been more disappointed in alberta
how can people still vote ucp after all the shit smith and her party has done to us?
with two parents serving the public, i won’t be surprised if my family packs up and moves provinces because of this 💔
