That Archie Gray hockey assist for the goal. 😮‍💨 #IPSTOT

My sports fandom was cast in the crucible of the Eagles losing three straight NFC championship games before making it to the Super Bowl, only to piss it away with the worst time management I've ever seen. The idea that this stupid team can now plaster *two* Lombardi Trophies on their flags is mad.

Me, a discerning human being: Throwing beer cans is dangerous. Me, a Philly sports girl: BUD LIGHT BATTLE SCARS FOR EVERYONE.

Well I never cared about the League Cup anyway

Richarlison injuring himself scoring a goal after coming back from an injury he sustained while scoring a goal after coming back from injury is the most Spurs thing imaginable. #EVETOT

Oh my God Lucas Bergvall I'm going to cry

I used up all of Spurs' luck to win the Brooklyn Half lottery, sorry.

I love this article -- obviously, given yours truly is an American Spurs fan. The mornings at Rivercrest suffering in solidarity with Queens Spurs are some of my favorite memories of living in Astoria.

Bad sports day all around, folks.

We did it, Joe. (Too soon?)

Josh Shapiro knows ball. (Also, inquiring minds want to know: did he really ever call into WIP?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QRJ...

Tottenham Hotspur, I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but what the actual fuck.

This is officially a Dejan Kulusevski stan account. #coys

Sonnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. 😍 #SOUTOT

It's really fucked up that a major newspaper needs to publish an article like this. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

Dejan Kulusevski, we do not deserve you. #RANTOT

No thank you to my Strava year in sport for reminding me that I spent half of 2024 running in Nashville.

In order of when I first read them: 1 . “Watership Down” by Richard Adams 2. “Sophie’s World” by Jostein Gaarder 3. “Postwar” by Tony Judt 4. “Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro 5. “Infinite Jest” by David Foster Wallace 6. “The Classical Style” by Charles Rosen

After living in Nashville for five years, I am gorging myself silly on NYC's cultural offerings. Scheduled for 2025: - Jamie xx concert - "A Streetcar Named Desire" feat. Paul Mescal - "Le nozze di Figaro" at the Met Opera - Mitsuko Uchida and Pierre-Laurent Aimard piano recitals

Spurs are so diabolically infuriating that my sporting mental health depends on the Philadelphia Eagles of all things. What have I done to deserve this.

I don't say this lightly, but the first movement of Schubert's Piano Sonata in B flat major is genuinely a work of genius. The melody, the distinctly Schubertian modulations, the way it subverts sonata form while remaining structurally classical...I'm going to swoon.

🙌

I think Tchaikovsky is the quintessential wintertime classical composer. And that's even setting aside the Nutcracker!

I don’t care about college football in the least bit, but did my mom and I just pull up a clip of the fight between Michigan and Ohio State on YouTube for a laugh? Yes, we did.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone except Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. ❤️

Between Tottenham and the Eagles the podcasts are gonna be SO GOOD this week.

New York City is the greatest city on earth, I never want to live anywhere else. But also — as a Philly girl — I can’t get enough of this hahahaha.

Sing like no one is listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like no one is watching, and play football like you’re Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad.

The last thing for which I was (pseudonymously) using Twitter was for Tottenham/soccer news and banter. But, honestly, fuck that shithole.

Man, Twitter is genuinely such a dumpster fire I might actually have to start using this.
