We've made it through what most would call Blue October. Although extremely inconsistently, we still made it. The St. Louis Blues currently sit in the 7th position in our league. You learn to love this team through everything although you might be extremely angry at them currently.

This team is one that you have to make the choice to stick with regardless of the fact we still do not have a Stanley Cup to our name.

You are there for the highs and the lowest of the lows. 

The Blues are a really good hockey team, remember that. As good as they are, they have a tendency of being inconsistent. So being there for the highs and lows can often get difficult.

Vladimir Tarasenko is a crucial player. 

The Blues acquired a gift when Vladimir Tarasenko joined their team. This man is a scoring machine and what some would call an angry Russian bear. Look up videos of him fighting on the ice.

When he is out for the count, the whole team dynamic changes. Something almost seems off when he isn't on the ice.

You smack talk a little more than you should sometimes. 

When you're a fan, you are a ride or die fan. In the hockey league there is no time to even be a fair-weather fan. So of course you're going to trash talk the opposition. However, the blues have issues in consistency which can lead to a person putting their foot in their mouth when the trash talking is followed by an abrupt loss.

You either love Jake Allen or you don't. No in between. 

So Jake Allen has been a Blues player for a very long time. During this time, he has seen the ups and downs of this team. However, many of the lows are often blamed on him since he is the goalie. Although he can be a key player when it matters, he often can waiver at other times.

We have 0 Stanley Cups. 

How hard do you think it is to be a fan of a team that is one of the oldest in the NHL and has NO Stanley Cups? Very, Very difficult. We have beaten teams at the start of their season after victory, yet we can't win a cup.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
