My beautiful son, the prince of my heart

Feels like they don't make names like "Reince Priebus" anymore

Several very good omens in LA: - mysterious horn poorly playing la cucaracha as the Uber got on the freeway - airport playing Slam Jam - two trans gals with long bleached white hair and all black outfits. Maybe things will be alright. Maybe there is still time to turn this all around.

This the stuff that Team Liquid doesn't want you to see

If Blue told me to put the boots to someone I would do it zero hesitation

@austinrryan.bsky.social you actually had some goat level foreshadowing with this. not only my favorite blurb of the top 100 but honestly the one that looks even better now than it did when it came out

Had a good time at my first Genesis! V cool tournament full of v cool people. Thanks to everyone who said hey to me

Real cool insight into how we got the logo. Can say from chats with @tljester.bsky.social and @tiff.pw that it was more work and fine tuning (and stress) than even the thread shows. " But it was worth it! Really makes the year feel special.

We're doing a TL Smash Fantasy bracket with prizes and all! Gotta say this is one of the cooler things we've tried to do so I hope y'all join us.

The feminine urge to start a book club...

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban. Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

The gays got NPH but the law of equivalent exchange demanded that the straights get Hozier

The Smash community needs to leave Twitter at this point. I know some of y’all got thousands of followers and whatnot but if big figureheads start leaving the rest will follow. I don’t even know if Bluesky should be our hub at this point, Smashboards NEEDS some upgrades, but def not Twitter.

My first video essay and boy was it an EFFORT! Worth it though. It's about how Smash frequently has mold-breaking characters that are tough to regulate. Why this happens as well as what to do about it. Has a lot to say not only about Smash but esports + organizing as a whole.

We're trying some really new stuff with the video essays - including reply posts to comments. If you watched the OW check out this one from TL's own @bonniequ.com

Way past new years but I'm kinda proud of my NYE look 🥂

Can't believe they actually let me do the Hbox blurb. Dunno what they were thinking.

The vibe in America currently

More 2019 Axe, please! Shockingly, I was allowed to write the Axe blurb. He's said on twitter he's gonna lock tf in for 2025 and I'm excited to see it

Had the honor of doing Magi's blurb this year. knowing 2025 was coming, I wanted to do something that spoke not only to her incredible career but to the femmes as a whole. No matter how things get, all I see is possibility. I hope that you see it too.

A fun recounting of how Victor/Nazgul scored a massive upset against XellOs in Brood War. I wrote to be quick and digestible for any esports fan so even if you don't know Brood War, I recommend it if you like esports history or TL

From humble beginnings in the StarCraft scene, to 25 years of greatness across the globe. We're celebrating with monthly content to relive the origins of our story and celebrate the legacy we've built together! Kicking off with a video featuring Nazgul, Taeja, and Clem 🌌✨ #TeamLiquid25
