it’ll be very funny when everyone has an even bigger meltdown over Michele Kang, when what she’s really proven is how many people are total frauds; if one rich lady can turn teams into major competitive powerhouses in a few years why can’t everyone else do it in a decade or more??

alexia putellas? co-winner of the golden boot at the 2022 arnold clark cup??

do we think Alexia goes to LCL? Lyon would be so boring and I have to assume NWSL and Liga MX are out even if a dude can dream

as a united front, all nwsl fans must march to chicago to seize control of the team and redistribute to ownership with any care or investment at all in growing the game and honoring the nation's third-largest city

I have no idea who’s winning the NWSL Shield this year

I am incredibly saddened to share that a member of our Spirit fam, @fooddatanerd.com, passed away last week from a brain tumor. If you are able, please donate to the gofundme for his family: www.gofundme.com/f/randy-his-...

It is the racism/xenophobia of the higher ups that prevents them from seeing what they have in Liga MX Fem. They should be the league we partner with the most. Packed stadiums, world-class talent, established teams with branding. Stop chasing Europe only, I beg.

Gotham crashed out, Lyon didn’t even score, I feel fine lol

We’re all with you and the team! Love this squad immensely.

Celebrating Liga MXF a lot this tonight, but Spirit did an incredible job representing NWSL in this 2nd edition of CWC Cup. Outcome would’ve been a worthy champion no matter who won. There were 2 NWSL clubs featured in this final round, one showed up. Very excited for the future of this competition.

spirit birthdays video with the mariachi band and adri shaking his booty… I’d die for my team btw

"The team was informed by management on Monday in an unceremonious, 2-minute meeting." "They walked out of the room, did not field any questions, did not allow us to speak to them. We asked them to come back into the room and they declined." Women's soccer players continue to deserve so much more.

No it mitigates it instead of making it worse

SPIRIT PLAYING IN A CONTINENTAL FINAL LFG

Western Civilisation has fallen

I do think this is an important entry into the generational convos lol; younger does not mean more progressive or open-minded

I wholeheartedly believe antisemitism is increasing in the US, and the vast majority of Jews I’ve spoken with across the political spectrum feel the same, but it is also the case that the people collecting data right now are not reliable arbiters. This is why I’m hopeful about the Nexus Project.

straight girls keep ditching their last names for men and that’s unacceptable but I’m open to the lesbian mashup approach (this is a cece delzer appreciation skeet)

weird how many contexts the simple question "have you tried being pleasant to be around?" seems to unlock these days

I hate to say it but I think it might be mr brightside

No this is not a fair standard, any more than it is fair to say that all of Islam is tainted by the Iranian or Saudi governments, or all of Christianity by... *gestures broadly to all of European history.* No religious community on earth is free of its crimes.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues. This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

I cannot stress how difficult this kind of behavior makes things for people with legitimate service dogs.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

My opinion on that Liz Bruenig torture porn article is honey there’s already one Hanya Yanagihira and you ain’t her

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

i will never stop thinking about the intersection of epstein and the shitty media men list

it’s that time again

Everybody shut the fuck up and pay attention to the most important thing happening at this moment.

I keep seeing people say this joke is outdated, but last time i was in london, i ordered tacos and they were mayo, lettuce, pomegranate seeds, and guac, so

how did I live my life such that my mental health depends on a sports team that repeatedly asks me to dress like a radioactive bumblebee
