My mom's name is Joy, so marketing emails around this time get very confusing for me.

they did not kick the ball good 😭

I AM WIDE AWAKE AT 2AM BECAUSE I AM STRESSED ABOUT A THING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER BUT WHICH WILL GREATLY AFFECT MY OVERALL HAPPINESS. I SURE DO HOPE THE GIRLS KICK THE BALL GOOD.

Spirit cursed to take playoff games to PKs forever. This has been insane. #nwsl

"And today I am here" I MEAN COME ON!!! Not an Orlando fan but sobbing nonetheless!!! A thing of beauty!!!

UNBEATEN AT HOME ALL SEASON ‼️ #KCBABY

TWO YEARS IN THE LEAGUE. TWO GOLDEN BOOT HONORS. It's just Temwa Chawinga math 💅

I went to the women's sports bar to watch some of the other NWSL games and Melissa Etheridge was there !!!!!! I love gay Halloween.

They are giving out free TC6 bobble heads at today's @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social game to the first 5k fans. While I was still waiting to get in, 2 people in full Chiefs gear entered and left. They are making the wrong choice of what game to watch today, but I respect the commitment to the swag.

there's a whole genre of weird internet bitching that's basically just "well i really don't like their TONE" and i'm just like "cool i can make it worse, actually"

just saw a little time travel hypothetical video and that concept simply does not work the way it used to because I will always choose any option where I get to see my dad again, which was extremely not the point of the question but will forever be the place I answer from

Hey so I need Portugal to stop ganging up on Michelle Cooper. #USWNT

The extra long SciShow Deep Dive I got to host is live in ONE HOUR!!! I’ll be in the chat for the premiere, so come say hi!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlUZ...

idk why AMC changed the words to the national anthem on us but are we not sufferering enough????

being drunk and hearing another drunk person talk and realizing "oh, that's how I sound rn" is so humbling

once a week i get to order revisions for our thumbnails and sometimes trying to explain a request is easier than others

my therapist loves a little handout and i love that about her. whenever i get emails saying i have a new document waiting for me i get so excited to see what cutie pie printout for the mentally ill she's sent me this time!!

Army recruitment ads during NWSL games are so funny. The vibes are very "Fascism is for GIRLS too!!! 💪🏻💃

nonfiction book club stays unpredictable...come hang out with me & @okidokiboki.bsky.social while we chat about GWYNETH by Amy Odell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiMU...

i've been telling people about this ever since it got pitched and now i'm so excited to be able to make people watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj1o...

the first crash course linguistics video now has a million views, @superlinguo.bsky.social @jessgrieser.com aren't you glad we worked on this in 2020 anyway if you want some fun 10 min linguistics videos to watch you can still do that!

me, thinking of some stupid random spot something where an object might have been put away: "yeah that seems like something i might do"

Getting to officiate a wedding for my loved ones is so fucking cool and special who else will let me marry them??????

Kickoff delayed at this Current v Pride game & a lady behind me is mad that they didn't tell people in advance? Idk I get that it's hot and you are uncomfortable but what would have changed? Weirdo energy to complain while we sit in the shade that these players aren't, like, killing themselves???

did a whole 3 mile treadmill run with no headphones and it might have been worse than mile 20 of a marathon

I am at the gym and I forgot my headphones I am distraught. How the fuck do people do this without emotional support music??????

the youths are losing the ancient texts (our gen z staffer does not know about Balto)

when my friend says "I probably shouldn't tell this story" I know I am about to have a great time

I couldn't sleep because I had anxiety about my early early morning wake up for my ride to the airport so maybe it is the exhaustion talking but also: I am still so in awe of the fact that we can put ourselves IN THE SKY. Like, yeah, sure, humans can be terrible, but they can also be so rad.

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

This <waves at everything> is making me physically ill

I am at the Missoula airport baggage claim and I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that I have seen well over 20 boxes of fish come off this belt. Some of them are in boxes. One was a cooler. There are just. So many fish.

having a bit of a nightmare travel day but I just ate two delicious cookies so on the whole things are looking up

on the one hand we are a long way from the detailed outlines we used to create in preparation but on the other hand I got to pull up a Paris Hilton clip during this stream, so maybe this is us at our peak

about to talk to @okidokiboki.bsky.social about So Many Stars for book club! www.youtube.com/live/SVNWMoG...

Doing our customary greedy demand for ever more goals (WE. WANT. THREEEE. WE WANT ANOTHER ONE, JUST LIKE ANOTHER ONE...) and the other team scored so idk I think we gotta get more specific with this chant. @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social

tried to record a little sewing vlog and and casually just filmed myself losing my mind. youtu.be/N535DBL47A0

I was telling a friend how my therapist and I are working on accepting the stuff that is beyond my control to fix and she had to stop and laugh at me because I actually could not contraint my frustration when I said those words. Because alas my truth is that I DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT I WANT TO FIX.

this is just an observation but one way to think of the civil war is that it WAS about states rights, but the right in question was the right of free states to stay free

The active ceding of authority and responsibility by the non-executive branches of the US government over the last 6 months has genuinely shocked me. I did expect these people to enable this administration but it's stunning how readily they will corrode their own power to do so.

you don't even have to look at it strategically! people will straight up stop coming to places if there's nothing else there but a strident requirement to stare hard into the abyss at all times

some of the love island discourse is very cool girl coded. the return of cool girl is a recession indicator and I will not be elaborating.

EGGGGSSSSSSS

IT'S EGG TIME!!!!!!! EGG O CLOCK!!!!!

PHYSICS PHRIDAY www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0H3...

talking about EGGS and evolution and EGGS and some other stuff but mostly EGGS with @okidokiboki.bsky.social on Friday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0gn... #booksky

I dearly love to see textile/fiber arts in art museums but also it pains me because I want SO DESPERATELY to just touch it. I have a burning need to put my grubby little fingers on the art to truly Get It but ALAS.

I paid for a fancy aviation app when I got my pilots license but tbh my primary use of this app is to check conditions for my friends with flight anxiety and tell them how turbulent their flight will be, or how long they can expect their weather delay to last. In other words it's a friendship app.
