It looks like Dinosaur Field Station of NJ is closing and selling their Dino sculptures

Earlier today Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb held a press conference. Here’s what we learned about the decision to move on from Brondello, and what the future holds. www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/new-york-liberty-gm-on-sandy-brondello-split-a-proactive-choice-to-bring-freshness-and-energy-to-team/

On Ella Stevens, JCA says she will not be available this weekend but is getting "closer and closer." She's working with medical + high performance teams to ensure she comes back in the best way possible. Gotham hopes to see her on the pitch soon but too early to say exactly when. #GothamFC

I received a PR invite to a forthcoming panel on "Fair Play: Fair Play: Transgender Athletes and the Future of Sports." After looking at the panelists, frustration from weeks of watching the trans community be villainized kicked in. I decided I would respond. www.92ny.org/event/fair-p...

✊Today, hundreds of New Yorkers shut down the streets surrounding 26 Federal Plaza to make it clear that they will not stay silent as ICE commits violent & unlawful actions against our immigrant communities. Join us today at 6PM at Foley Square to demand #ICEOutofNY!

Kolb's entire press conference is WILD. way to absolutely tank the team culture of a franchise that is one of the highest valuations in the league and won a chip last season

is the GM of the Liberty really blaming NATASHA CLOUD—one of the assist leaders in the entire WNBA—for Sabrina's shooting performance this season? i'm sorry but WHAT? (via @mylesehrlich.bsky.social)

Rose Goal’d

MIDGE TO ESTHER TO CAPTAIN ROSE LAVELLE GOAL ‼️🫡

the rose-howell-shaw midfield might be my favorite midfield in the entire league

Happy Game Day! For North Jersey folks, we'll be at Varitage in Bloomfield.

feels like the holidays start earlier every year

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

This 1934 NYT article about a group of 75 Nazis in New Jersey getting the crap kicked out of them by 1000 “anti-Nazis” is no laughing matter and the writing is not highly entertaining. Please do not laugh or smile while reading this as it is a very serious matter and violence is not funny.

“There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender,” said another parent. “Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified.”

Here is this week’s #GothamFC fan rooting guide: Angel City v Washington -> Angel City Houston v Chicago -> Chicago Orlando v North Carolina -> NC Utah v Louisville -> Utah Kansas City v Seattle -> KC Portland v San Diego -> Draw #NWSL

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

This is gonna be one of those games that we won't be able to keep up with, isn't it...

Alfred at 7pm to Bruce Wayne.

Time to wake up from that nap! Gotham starting soon!

If you are seeking a space where you can reflect individually & with others on your ongoing activism and organizing, feel free to join me on the last Sunday of every month through December on Zoom from 4 to 6 pm ET. The next drop-in session is on Sunday, September 28. Space is limited.

Nowhere did I say don't go to a protest. I just said don't sign up for one. And white men have lost their fucking minds in my mentions.

a protest you have to register to participate in is a parade. the orgs encouraging signups know they’re doing it to build their email base and for data on activity when applying for grants. there is good reason to dislike this tactic.

reporter whose whole Thing is covering protests: no it’s not, it’s a very basic safety recommendation as we see an increase in nonprofits/501c3s using signups to add people to email lists which can easily be subpoenaed or seized by the state. this take scans as pretty manipulative tbh

Any Staten Island residents #onhere who want to set up meetings with your City Council members about our local public libraries? How about people in the Bronx and Queens?

Join us Thursday - head to jfrej.org/iceout for more information 📣

Sending all our love to Savannah DeMelo 💜

If you truly learned any lessons after Savy, you call this match.

Jaedyn Shaw Scores On Gotham FC Debut Match report and video highlights here! firsttouchonline.com/jaedyn-shaw-... @gothamfc.bsky.social @cloud9goth.bsky.social

#GothamFC 2-0 #SanDiegoWave: Jaedyn Shaw scores in her debut, Esther González scores to retake lead in the Golden Boot race, and the Bats climb into 3rd Place #NWSL More here ⬇️

She's here and she's PERFECT 🤩

Can we also talk about the run Jaelin Howell is on? The goals and assists. Elite player carrying this Gotham club.

First game with Gotham FC. First goal with Gotham FC. It's a Jaedyn Shaw thing.

Worth every penny for this photo alone.

Jaedyn Shaw debut Gotham goal isn’t really dunking on one team so much as it’s possibly dunking on two

Full time thoughts #gothamfc fans? 3rd place is ours for the night. Hero of the match?

Friendly reminder, AKB beat cancer twice and no longer has a thyroid, um so maybe she takes a little longer to recover from a rough hit
