If I had more time I would spend time hashing this out: Women's sports figures speak up bravely on issues because they know that a portion of the population hates them. Men's teams think they can appeal to everyone so they're afraid to offend anyone. Women's teams inherently know this is false.

let her cook - if she offs everybody who she thinks will get into heaven, this can only be good for us non-weirdos, right?

HUGE IF TRUE

Then: Millers River Now: Colorado River

my first car that lasted more than 6mo was a 1995 Ford Escort LX that came from Canada, so it had a kilometer speedometer, instead of miles. what about you_

ok i'm fully bought in on having him here through his whole career so we can see 15 years of Dani pics like this at the end of it all

There’s a simple reason why not: because they wouldn’t

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Sounder At Heart rules, their coverage of the Sounders and league in general is fantastic, and they take principled stands.

Merry Christmas everyone I’m eating a slice of pizza in bed after a day of snowboarding. Live your dreams.

Getting your ass kicked is trending

I've been wishcasting with friends about how Diego Luna would solve Austin FC's problems: a creator, a U22, is cool and fun to watch, has great soccer hair, does Bluey cellies... It's gotten to the point that I'm so sad about anything else happening that isn't him coming here. (It won't happen.)

the good that you do persists in this world

This year for #GivingTuesday my Shakespeare company, Walking Shadow Shakespeare Project, set a dream goal to raise $3000. We’re way behind that goal but we’re hoping that at least our “See Yourself In Shakespeare” campaign will inspire folks to check us out. www.amplifyatx.org/organization...

Leo Messi gonna have a front row seat to the Ali Ahmed show

Overheard at the restaurant: “You don’t watch and walk, that’s how you die. Do you wanna meet Jesus today?!” Childcare in 2025 v different from my day, where my mom just routinely told me she’d introduce me to him.

Welp, I finally got around to looking at it; @swoontower.bsky.social & @fortheglorykc.bsky.social lost the I-35 Cup to @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Final 2025 pts tally: MNUFC: 8 pts ATXFC: 7 pts SKC: 1 pt I suppose this means @crugglez.bsky.social & I actually have to turn this into a trophy?

You had me at "queer Mad Max Shakespeare show" 🤩

To Kat's point, I have always said that the easiest thing to do in the face of reports of gendered violence is nothing. People desperately want to do nothing. And pushing them to do literally anything is seen as an attack.

Ok, the past three weeks have been an absolute blitz but I’m finally at the point where I’m not stressin’ about it anymore: - New job - Caesar + Antony + Cleopatra is officially opened (5 more chances to see it!) - Austin FC offseason is officially in-swing Come to my show! tinyurl.com/WSSPCAC

hey @kickbackcommittee.bsky.social - what's the best way to get @susannahfuller.bsky.social to chat on @swoontower.bsky.social with @crugglez.bsky.social and me? We met y'all super briefly (and barely held it together, playing it cool!) when you were in town for All-Star Weekend!

i was not prepared for what it was, not least bc everyone is hitting a wildly different beat here

Would love to hear the @mlspa.bsky.social perspective on this - the "giving players a bigger platform to provide visibility and garner more followers/endorsement opportunities" angle is one I hadn't recognized. At the same time @bradstuver.com is our most popular & most visible player, so it tracks?

Hey @travishelwig.bsky.social / @darrendmiller.bsky.social / @hafosafo.bsky.social will y'all sign this for me after we win tonight?

The greatest team in the world sweeps LAFC tonight. #AustinFC

This weekend, the Austin FC supporters group @losverdesatx.bsky.social is hosting a watch party for the RSL game (9/27 at 8:30pm CT) at Fast Friends brewery. They’ve partnered with Walgreens so you can get your flu shot at the watch party!!!

Do my bones smell like me the way my skin does?

Extremely frustrated this morning that there are parents of autistic children who may be (again) wondering if they caused this. It is not. There’s zero scientific evidence to support the claims made by the administration. Even if there were, this will never be on you.

trains are magic and it’s so embarrassing that the richest country in the history of the world is all “high speed rail? nah we don’t need it”

One positive thing you can do this morning is cancel your subscription to any media outlet that talks glowingly about a white supremacist. Those organizations are telling us who they are, and who they’ll support as the purges accelerate.

the most controversial statement you can make in this world right now is that it’s bad that israel is committing a genocide
