All I feel I can do right now is to keep showing and teaching my kids that empathy is not a bad thing. Teach them to stand up for their friends even when people in power try to do them harm. (And also scream at my congressman’s voicemail)

@crowdsourceherbook.bsky.social So just stumbled upon your project. I have an 1882 edition of Leaves of Grass that appears to have belonged to Isabella O. Ford. Been trying to figure out if this really should be part of a collection and not just sitting on my shelf away from the kids.

Berman has got to go. Just terrible for the league. Great for greedy owners that don’t understand how investment is good for long term growth though…

#NYSirens starting the season off with Osborne shutout and the team putting 40+ shots on net. Strong start to the season

gene testing and ruling out CIS WOMEN WHO ARE INTERSEX (which is explicitly what liz eddy is asking for in this thing) will destroy women’s sports. straight up. if you turn this stone over hoping to reinforce the sex binary you will not like what you find underneath

Our game doesn’t need gatekeepers. It needs champions and advocates and that means standing for every player who makes it what it is.

Hey, Jessica, this is a player safety issue. I don't know if you know that, but no policy makes it open season on the league. Especially for players like Barbra, Temwa, Rachel, Prisca, etc

every time a photo of barbra banda is used for some disingenuous gender fuckery it's in part because the league has signaled that it's unwilling to speak up for or protect her in any way

Said it once and I’ll say it again. Berman needs to go.

This pitch was unhinged. Jordan’s immediate acceptance and the flex of getting it 100% correct was just perfect.

Presenting the BRAND-NEW season - @dimension20.bsky.social On a Bus! 🚌 DM'd by Katie Marovitch, and as players: Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jasmine Bhullar, and Mark Mercer!

Now everywhere Erika goes, a roast of Sam Reich follows... 🔥

Session 1 with #Daggerheart in the books. Kids rolled at least 5 critical successes this session and would only relent on closing out the session with the promise to play tomorrow. Youngest’s favorite move was shooting the fleeing pirate in the butt 😅

Finished session zero with my kids. Now to get some card sleeves to protect these beautiful cards that came with the #Daggerheart release. Got to start them young. #TTRPG

Berman needs to go.

Two deliveries today. One was a Mother’s Day present the other a pre-order that finally released. Good day for our tabletop obsessed household. #daggerheart #finspan #ttrpg #tabletop

Probably a good thing #Sunderfolk didn’t drop last week during Spring Break. Just spent all the kids’ allotted video game time playing as a family. We’ve all agreed we’re going to push Peryll off the bridge at the first opportunity.

I know what I’m buying in bulk for the fall camping trip in the redwoods near us. The kids will love these for their nature journals and scavenger hunt

A thing not a single supporter wants or asked for. Berman is focusing on this garbage while players are still dealing with abuse. Get your priorities straight.

When I was on Full Time with @meglinehan.com a few weeks ago we talked about this exact issue for the NWSL, with concerns about how the U.S. government is treating individuals on work visas right now. Sadly, I think these players got sound advice staying put for now

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

I see I will be crying on a plane again. First during a work trip during the chaos of 2021 and then another work trip in 2023. Maybe I need to read the next book while at home so I don’t cry in public again.

Okay, but that cross from Emslie was absolutely perfect.

It’s my favorite time of the year again: where all the pollen in the air makes me want to claw out my eyeballs!

I cannot wait to play with the whole family. Bummed release misses my kids’ spring break, but that’s probably a good thing.

What in the world was the keeper for Hoffenheim thinking? I know it’s hard to come into the match after the starting keeper gets injured but coming that far out against Harder? Instant regret.

Went on work travel away from California and in the middle of three wildfires (there 15 mi away and I’m being safe)

The full quote doesn’t make it any better.

Early flight tomorrow. Picked up @amalelmohtar.com newest for the trip. Now let’s hope for a smooth flight so I can read it without needing some Dramamine.

Never really worried about the planes and only worried about making my flights in the past. This string of incidents is not helping with the travel anxiety. Wish me luck for the next two weeks as I have two work trips…

The phrase “These dumb mother fuckers” continues to rattle around in my brain on repeat. My jaw hurts from clenching my teeth. I’m going to need to ask for hazard pay for all my work travel with the state of *waves hands*

I don’t want Gareth over here fumbling a whole roster and working through how to coach in the NWSL. This city does not have the patience for that bullsh*t and they need to win like immediately. You gone look at Europe look at coaching styles that make sense for this league and roster man.

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

This is a disgusting betrayal by Newsom for the voters that kept him in office. Not even trying to be “centrist” anymore, just a free fall into hate and intolerance.

The chip from Momiki to pull Leicester within one of Chelsea. Beautiful goal.

Rip to FanDuel Sports Network but also….Good.

I will miss watching her on the pitch. Hope retirement treats her well.

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh. This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

Straight to jail for reckless endangerment

Tornado season is upon us and this will end poorly.

It is not going to be a fun time for the next few months. I have at least 4 trips for work scheduled between now and May.

The new Reign kit is OUTSTANDING

Davidson bailed a certain player out there… I’d like to see some better shot/passing selection when under pressure from the younger players.

Which also means, if you get the chance to see Nadeshiko when they’re cooking, you book that damn table

Look. Japan is good and the US is missing defensive depth and is a young team. If this scoreline is super surprising, you’re not paying attention.

What a play. Japan with the beautiful set piece and the goal on the rebound. Koga made a beeline for that post to cleanup the rebound.

The passes and diagonal runs are just slicing through the backline. This game has had some amazing film to show the U10s on playing to space.

That looked painful.

Japan is always a test of a team’s defensive discipline. The more this young team plays against a side of this caliber the better for the USWNT in the long run.
