one thing that’s become very obvious about jessica berman’s nwsl is that owners would still much rather pay lawyers than players

NWSL has a type, huh?

NWSL Players Association Statement on League’s Unilateral Implementation of the High Impact Player Rule:

These players have too much power = these Black women know their worth. WOSO in this country has felt like this for a long time. Ask me how I know. These people don't like it when we know our worth. Keep in mind that there are Black investors, but no Black owners. It's giving NFL racism.

Checking in to say I'm taking a break from daily #BirdSongs until spring migration to focus on work and a few projects I need to wrap up ... the feed will be back with a full flock soon! Hope you all have a great holiday season!

I'm paraphrasing Isiah Thomas..... 🤣🤣🤣 Happy Birthday, Larry Bird! 🎉🎂🥳

Good news for this book on #WNBA history has dark personal down side. Finishing chapter on 2022 season helped me to process and conclude: 1. I reject feeling SHAME for other people’s misdeeds or mistakes; and 2. I won’t stay SILENT about them anymore either. medium.com/@tamrynsprui...

sorry to keep going on about this but you don't need famous people or teal man or unwell fc to sell this league, these players and these games are enough. i promise.

Good.

This is what future celebrities were supposed to be, not politics streamers

I deeply respect Gift Monday's vulnerability on her personal social media over the recent loss of her father. She penned a very lovely letter to his memory.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Absolutely insane goal in insane conditions in the CPL final. Absurd.

Shout out to Martha Wash 🙌🏾 They did her dirty, I'm glad she fought & won.

Listen to Black women. Vote like Black women. Support + protect our trans family. This world wouldn't be in the shitter if folks did. Of course the BWPC got it right, they consistently do.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

The site, which is known by both archive.today, archive.is, or any number of other mirrors, started in the early 2010s but rose to prominence during the GamerGate movement. It's widely used archiving tool and resource, with hundreds of millions of pages saved. www.404media.co/fbi-tries-to...

The FBI has subpoenaed the domain registrar of archive.today, demanding information about the owner.

the nwsl knows that if there’s one thing fans love it’s having the game and culture shaped by a lot of rich people who just got here

Oh really… huh what would happen if we just believed the people they targeted originally

reminds me of all the signs around the house for dad just before things got really bad

Starting with "You can have your opinions on trans issues & who can/cannot participate in women's sports leagues based on gender standards" is positioning this as a debate. Trans people's ability to fully participate in public life is NOT an "opinion" to "disagree" on! We have lost the plot!
