I’ve been watching other games tonight. Did the announcers laugh and call it “spicy”? I hate how they downplay her dirty play.

Oh man, I’m so ready for this. I’ve got so many hyper fixations I could break their spirits for real.

I love the silly moments that remind us that beyond all the money and the insane amount of training that goes into playing at the top level, sports are still games we played as children.

Whenever I see him I think about mermaids.

It was wild seeing the best athlete I ever competed against ride the bench— made me realize just how inhumanly talented the top tier players are. She was on the Taurasi and Bird era UConn teams.

When I coached youth basketball my dad gave me some really good advice about drafting a team: it's better to have a pain in the ass kids than it is to have a good kid with pain in the ass parents.

The second-most demoralizing thing I ever experienced in sports was when my high school team played a girl who had committed to UConn. She CRUSHED us. The single most demoralizing thing I ever experienced in sports was watching UConn wbb and realizing she was the last off the bench.

Practically the entire pantheon from The Wicked + The Divine. I love those messy queer deities.

This is such a good answer, she was an incredible character.

That smoothy looks fuzzy. Or maybe the color looks so much like mold that it's tricking my brain into thinking it's fuzzy. Either way, it's an abomination.

Exactly. I quit Twitter a few years ago, and only came to Bluesky last year. It's nice, but if the platform does die, I still won't be going back to that cesspool.

This is the one. Jareth was my first-ever crush, and when I went back to watch it in my teen years, I had honestly forgotten he was the bad guy.

If they’re going to do all that, they could at least give out Nationals-branded Thunder Shirts at the gate.

The only person I know who worked at a CFA quit pretty quickly because all the employees, including management, would not stop pressuring him to join their Bible study group.

I have a trans friend who is moving to Spain with her family.

Growing up outside NYC in the 80s and 90s, I only ever knew him as a joke. It blew my mind to see people in other parts of the country taking him seriously after that show came out, and then obviously it just got worse from there.

They were my very first ship, back when I was in fourth grade and had to hide my X-Men comics in the crawlspace above my closet because my mom thought comics were “trashy.”

Have you considered doing something about it? Radical I know, but hear me out.

I think trans women deserve to fully participate in society, and that your transphobic dog whistles have zero merit. I’m not interested in taking to you anymore, so I’m going to go ahead and block you in a minute here. Fuck off, dork.

That’s easy, dipshit. We all know you’re not engaging in good faith, so you’re not worth our time or effort.

The women in the NCAA basketball are profiting from the tournament for the first time this year, the men have been getting paid for several years now. 2022 was the first year the women's tourney were allowed to use "March Madness." The idea that funding has been equal is utterly delusional.

Jackie Mitchell was going to be my example as well. Before she struck those two out, there was nothing preventing women from professional baseball; after, suddenly women were prevented, and of course they claimed it was to "protect" women. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

She gave you facts while you speak of differing opinions? Try to stay on topic, numbnuts.

Yup, as always, it's about enforcing the gender binary that they claim is so natural, yet have to force on us through invasive shit like this.

In 2018 UConn won their first round game 140-52.

Hey so this is super gross and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I can't get past the categorizing of friends as "elite" and "non-elite." Personally I haven't ranked my friends since the MySpace days, but that's probably very non-elite of me.

Did Safeway abandon its DEI policies? I've done some looking and all I could find was some site called "Buy Woke Free" hates them, so that feels like a point in their favor. If you have any info, please let me know!

Hopefully a lot of people will go the 40 days and then realize they just don't need to shop there anymore, and it will turn into a permanent boycott.

If you had a shred of humanity or empathy your conscience would eat you alive. But I doubt you care at all that you've helped usher in this new fascist era. Still, I truly hope you never know a good night's sleep. You deserve nothing but turmoil and torment for the rest of your life.

It's so embarrassing to be losing to these absolute dorks, and not the evil genius supervillains the movies promised.

After my dad died of lung cancer, I said I wouldn’t wish that death on anyone. But that was over 20 years ago, and it turns out now I can think of a lot of people who deserve to go out like that.

You cannot honestly believe that every single eligible voter who didn't vote in November is a leftist. That is delusional.

This is like something M. Bison would show in the Streetfighter movie, but this lacks the charm of Raul Julia.

My mom does this to me, and as I've assures her many times, I'm capable of screaming at BOTH.

You’re all missing the most important tidbit here. Gail comes up with all her posts STONE COLD SOBER.

Just because you no longer like the term your own group came up with doesn't make it a slur. You're a TERF, the least you could do is own your bigotry.

Here’s the thing though. Appeasement doesn’t work, it never has. They’ll just keep obeying to “save as many kids as possible” until the administration target all vulnerable groups and there are none left to help. It’s absolute cowardice.

The TERFs have been (not so shockingly) silent in all this.

I think we were already there last week with all these terms being wiped from government websites and made to look like they were never there at all.

My car got hit last week when I was driving home from grocery shopping. I had a carton of eggs in the front seat and I swear I was more upset about the three cracked eggs than my dented bumper.

And no one knows this better than the feds who have lived through near-constant threat of shutdown, and have had to work for free while hoping they'll get their retroactive pay a couple of times already.

It's not about thoughts. It's about not falling into cynicism, because that leads to apathy and nihilism. Keeping hope alive is hard, but it's more likely to motivate people to act and actually do something useful to help. And that's what we need, to help each other.

One of my favorite writers and podcasters is @margaret.bsky.social. Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff gives me hope twice a week, and her most recent book The Sapling Cage is the first in a fantasy trilogy centered around a trans girl witch, and it’s excellent. Check her out!

I was a kid when Sheryl Swoopes played in the inaugural season of the WNBA six weeks after giving birth, and I remember thinking it wasn’t fair that she had to do that. It was true then and it’s true now.
