oh this is disgusting there's an ad from Noem during the pregame of Game 7 exhorting people to self-deport YOU FIRST, KRISTI

why are all of my characters screaming

The absolute fucking AUDACITY of League Pass to crash right when Clara was about to lift the trophy. Yes I'm rewatching the end of Game 5 and its associated post-game festivities. One year ago was the best night of my life.

Do we have thoughts on explicit bad endings? The fic in question will have an explicit happy ending, but the character dynamics have... uh... shifted slightly, such that a couple of different unhappy endings are on the table.

Hi all. A little clarification: the Purdue student journalists did OFFER to do this but "Unfortunately and understandably, the IDS declined the offer, fearing expulsion of its student leaders and more firings of its professional staff." They printed and delivered a statement of solidarity instead

Let's PoGo Liberty has taken a massive stride forward with the lundo Chatot. *and* she's a girl so she can just straight up be named Essence. Because Essence Carson is heavy in the music scene and for many years wore her hair in a massive upsweep a la Chatot's musical note, that's why.

Spreadsheet season is looking dire for the first month, folks. Losing St. Francis Brooklyn and spurning St. John's and Columbia due to administrative issues (different administrative issues) is really fucking with my ability to get to weeknight games. #ncaaw #wcbb

Satisfying pro bono work.

One of the folks in my PoGo crew taped a "No Kings Except Mega Rayquaza" sign to her bag before starting raid day. I love my crew.

what in the name of processed dreck is happening on College Gameday

Maybe we should go back to making pitchers hit and see what else some of these guys are hiding?

Reminder yet again that if you enjoy a piece of writing it would be very kind if you took the time and leave a comment for the author. Doesn't have to be lengthy if you don't have the time or words The scam where a commenter is just trying to sell you AI fanart is still going around

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.

desperately curious who the WNBA player is (we know it's not Tash because 1: Tash would have put her name on it; 2: it doesn't sound like her voice; 3: anon refers to Tash in her quotes)

I GET IT CHICAGO YOU WANT ME

I don't know who needs to hear this but: you do not have to call someone to tell them you're sending them an email. Just send the fucking email.

I need my plot bunnies to stop developing an entire genealogical lineage

blue check wnba grift twitter should NOT be welcomed here

Welcome to newest influx of users from Twitter/X, who will follow 20 people, give up on making connection when no algorithm holds your hand through curating your feed, will post 3 times over several months while still checking X daily, and then conclude Bluesky is just too insular! Enjoy your stay!

Too much stuff

How in the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and all Xir Noodly Appendages do I keep ending up with dildoes in fic At least this one is chronologically before the dipshittery

My parents made me miss a Liberty game to go to my prom. I found out the next day that the game came down to the final possession. Fuck prom.

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

Don't make walking into the river so tempting when it's like a block away

We are at the podium, and IT IS MICHIGAN DAY ON HOOPLA! - Kim Barnes Arico *crowd cheers* - Whoo man this team was fun last year - The return of the ENTIRE 2024 signing class - You better be buying that Mila Holloway stock - Oh let's add two sick transfers and three more Top 100 freshman, why not!

When is the best time this month to post some fic for spooky season?

So the Tempo's name and the Fire's coach both got revealed through leaks? I love the W.

"I refuse to accept a world where people are punished for seeking safety or silenced for speaking the truth. I refuse a system that values profit over people and power over love." - Natasha Cloud

the horrified realization that your characters are half the world away from each other and one is behind the Great Firewall right when you need them to be on Instagram

My shuffle is apparently in an Anggun mood. @snarkyplatypus.com have you been messing about with it? :D

8-6-2 force at home, then 2 unassisted at third, double play? Perfectly normal happens like three times a week.

Thou shalt understand the difference between a lockout and a strike. Thou shalt not use these terms interchangeably in commentary on CBA negotiations. Thou shalt remind others of the distinction. -A reminder to any #WNBA fans mixed up re: an important labor commandment

You know you've pissed off the writer when yours is the only comment they don't reply to, lol (And that was with me being nice instead of saying what I REALLY wanted to say, which was "if it's like that I'd dump her ass too"

"On line"

I can think of two Big East coaches off the top of my head. not you, Joe

Excited to check out the new @rustylake.com demo, Servant of the Lake, when I get home from work! #RustyLake #ServantoftheLake

Trying to transpose characters from the '90s-early '00s to 2025 fashions is very gently breaking my brain. But that's the point of that 'verse.

Ah, the perils of not being able to explain that your dipshit protagonist accidentally fractionated herself on top of her other weird altered mental states, because said dipshit would think fractionation is some shit you do in math class

Wisconsin's fight song: Cheese, Wisconsin! Cheese, Wisconsin! All we smell is Cheese! Kraft, Velveeta, Mozzarella, Limberger, Gouda, Please! Gorgonzola, Fuck your Hole-a... And I don't remember the rest. Fuck Wisconsin. #GOHAWKS

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Honest to God, if that’s our legacy, I’d be incredibly happy. There’s good football with watching and talking about everywhere, at all levels. It’s not just 40 teams, it’s 400, all with great players, stories, and passionate fanbases.

oh goddamn it my asshole City Council member is running unopposed I hate it here

my wife just texted this post to me to make sure I'd see it too so I am passing on the horror

The problem with writing this scene is that the headspace I need to be in to match the POV character's energy is a very passive headspace, and it's kind of hard to make words good that way.

I had the Girl Scout Handbook and a library

The baseball will continue until morale improves.

things we do not do: play in the face of the X-Factor, because they do not and have never in their lives played, they root hard, they cheer hard, they drink hard
