On an airplane, which means I am reading These Broken Stars becuase in addition to having tremendous fondness for this book, it is also a magical book that keeps the plane in the sky.

I do not want to listen to soccer podcasts where they talk about the importance of mental health stuff and then accept advertising money from gambling companies. Is this really too much to ask?? Like you have to either be stupid or evil to not see how those things contradict!

The first-ever hat trick in Orlando Pride history, courtesy of Barbra Banda 🙌

I had bread and soup and got to watch the first Orlando Pride hat trick. So my day is excellent. It’s so great when soccer makes you happy.

i saw residual discourse about an author who is a man "pretending" to be a lesbian and man, y'all need to leave it alone. Gender and sexuality are fluid, if someone is posting that identity chances are they're interested in exploring. Not your job to be a cop about it

I am in a car where someone else is playing their audiobook over the car speaker system. Which is to say I am in hell.

Currently watching Draft Day with my mom, which does mean I am going to have to reread Down by Contact, the four part half a million word count Sterek Teen Wolf Football AU romance fanfiction series quite soon. It is the best thing that has ever come out of American Football.

The Pitt takes I deeply hate: “Mel doesn’t know she’s autistic” and “Santos doesn’t know she’s into women.” Like I actually think you have to be a little stupid to believe either of those things about those characters?

The summery feeling that is the worst is wondering if the problem is ambient temperature or a fever.

How does it feel? I don't know

I brought a puzzle with me to the house in which I’m dog sitting. And I dropped a puzzle piece on the floor and the dog immediately ate it so please send your condolences.

Big ups to everything is tuberculosis for making me forget today is severance day.

I am in danger of going to Publix and getting ingredients to make deviled eggs.

I might have to start making soccer edits. Not enough people make edits for my team. Be the change, etc!!

Y’all. I love soccer. I was at a party watching the Pride crush on my phone trying to be social, but basically just evangelizing about the team. Now I’m rewatching on the tv with full attention.

Review of this week’s episode of Severance: I fell off my bed.

Sometimes before I order food at a restaurant I like to look at a picture of the food. And that used to be very easy. But with newer places or newer items sometimes the only visual reviews I can find are in video! Which is not helpful if you are at the restaurant and just kinda can’t watch a video.

I just frankly think you are poorly read and maybe a little stupid if your take is “way does all fantasy include rape?”. It is flattening! And also very not true!

A person on twitter is reading TMI for the first time at the moment. And I wanna talk about this! People talk about this aspect of the story like it holds people back from the series. Which it very clearly does not! This drama hooks people hard. Even though it ends up Not Being a Problem the tension

I think a lot of the bad Severance takes come from people who aren’t very genre fiction literate.

Not be be a Disney adult on main. But I hate dads who wear shirts that indicate they hate going to Disney with their families. Often focused on money. Stay home! It would save money!

The weirdest thing about White Lotus season one is the recently married couple touch each other like two people who have never touched another human before. It is so distracting every time. I am caught between this is supposed to seem suspicious and they’re just bad at this.

Going to PKs and they are playing Pressure. 😭😭😭

There are a surprising number of Washington people here! Don’t love finding this out via a goal haha.

You know I love women’s soccer because For The Win: NWSL has completely distracted me from the fact that I am waiting for Severance tonight.

Watching For the Win: NWSL and checking where I was sitting every game to see if I can see me at Pride games haha.

I’ve had For The Win on for roughly 25 seconds and I’m crying. Gonna go change in to some pride merch, and then continue.

Just started watching Yellowjackets, I’m sure I’m gonna like it, but that soccer looked atrocious.

In Bayley lives Severance news: This episode was so soft and shattering. It felt like such a tonal departure and just absolutely was not what I was anticipating but feels so earned and I was truly gripped the whole episode.

I have such an intense physical reaction watching Severance. I gasped I shuddered. I pulled the blankets over my head. I sat bolt up right. I cackled. That last look made me say “noooo??” Out loud. It really is just the most fun to watch.

It is truly so funny to want to cheat on your husband with your husband.

SHE SENTNOR THAT BALL STRAIGHT INTO YHE GOALLLLL

Are crowds still booing Albert??? I couldn’t tell from the tv sound.

Gonna be a bitch. Some of y’all’s Severance analysis/predictions truly seem like you have rocks for brains.

My dedication to the USWNT is such that I am not watching Severance until the game ends.

Becky!!! Talking on TV!! I am so pumped about commentary Becky.

I generally like watching Nighswonger. But the number of times “Nighswonger can’t get there” has been said in this game is 😬. It doesn’t always seem her fault. But sometimes!!

You can change your name but you cannot change your dedication to bumming us out.

The real magic of Severance is making people (me) use Apple Books.

A lot of romance book discourse is “Women can’t differentiate between fact and fiction” but like, wokely

Me!! I was literally buzzing with excitement. This was such a fun conversation. The Rakes are the smartest and funniest and it is very lovely that they let me come back!!

Four Nations has been fun but would be better if called HeBelieves just spitballing

My reading suggestion for the Super Bowl is always The Social Contract by Rousseau. Followed closely by the fanfic series Down by Contact by standinginanicedress.

Candy review with Bayley: the Hu salty chocolate is salty! Yay! It also is a little powdery/gritty tasting? Boooo! So it’s okay but not $3 good.

I like plenty of educational content creators, and I like plenty of condescending content creators, but I am driven mad by those who are trying to do both (especially in the same video!!!).

Just started playing The Council. The eyes look crazy!! None of the reviews I read mentioned the eyes.

How are we reading this passage and then writing reviews saying we didn’t see the romance coming?? We must be very silly.

Liking sports is so embarrassing. I just cried, actual tears, over a cheesy game date announcement video the Pride made.

Hugh Jackman‘s lottery tickets being so unreasonably expensive makes me happy that I decided he was my nemesis years ago. I love having my unreasonable opinions reinforced.

One thing about being super into the first world war is that it really changes your relationship with Captain Von Trapp.
