Landlords who call ICE to inform them where undocumented people live as a work around to rapidly evict people…you better hope you never run into me in real life.

Very good reporting here by Alex Rozier. We have a shocking shutoff rate.

Taking my dog on a walk is my favorite daily activity.

So about this Wooking for Love show. It makes me sad that people who have yet to learn about wooks are now going to find out about the stupid stuff that comes with that. I haven’t thought about Trustifarians since I left Boulder almost 20 years ago and now they will be culturally relevant. Ugh.

I’m happy it’s the holiday season but this year especially I feel more excited about getting through December so we can get to crawfish and king cake time.

My college soccer team group chat about the next alumni game has gone nuclear

Seeing stories written unironically about men being “uncancelled” and “reverse cancelled” makes me feel like walking into the Gulf of Mexico. Instead I’m going log off for a while and finish the book I’m reading about the execution of women as witches in 16th century Scotland. ✌🏻✌🏻

I had leftover banana pudding. I am deeply proud of myself.

Yesterday on a walk I met a 15 week old corgi named Spud I’m obsessed

I love cooking Thanksgiving meals but I will never again cook my own turkey because I am surrounded by stores who smoke turkeys and they are better than anything I would do.

So happy to see Red Panda back in action!

2 years ago I thought I would never be able to run without pain ever again and today a jogged a mile in 12 minutes. It probably doesn’t sound like much but it took a lot to make it happen, and I hope with continued strength work will get better. Fitness goals don’t have to be ambitious to matter.

I don’t know where to buy tasso for my thanksgiving maque choux so I’m making it?! It seems pretty straightforward but this is my first effort at curing. Will report back.

I explained this to people watching the semifinal with me today who don’t watch a lot of soccer and their minds were blown. I love the NWSL.

The podcast The Economist produced about pig butchering is one of the wildest things I have ever listened to, if you use any social media app with a messaging feature you need to know.

Today is the birthday of my husband and his best friend and we all love @atlutd17.bsky.social very much so I’m manifesting an announcement about Josef Martinez for their special day ♥️🖤😡

My heart is with the Seattle WOSO community, my brother had the opportunity to coach Mia and told me about how amazing she was. The people who knew and loved her will carry her light forward.

Infantino has become cringier than the FIFA executive who rented an apartment in Trump Tower for his cats with bribery money.

It will likely not get that much attention today, but a court-ordered special redistricting election, which made house districts more representative in Mississippi, resulted in the end of a republican supermajority in the state house. District 22, thank you for making your voices heard.

I’m worked up by the elections and the the SEC women’s soccer tournament. I can’t get ready to sleep after watching returns and that Ally Perry goal for a Mississippi State upset win. Sorry brain.

Does any other player on earth break lines more than Lily Yohannes? Highly doubtful.

Echo this, send cash

If people aren’t moved by stories of families going hungry in Mississippi without SNAP benefits, maybe our grocery stores losing $2 million a day will get attention

I love that we are talking about aunts cause at least 6 kids around town call me Aunt Cat who are not my actual kin and it confuses the hell out of nosy white people only 🤣🤣🤣

Soccer-basketball season is the best season, and if you watch all the leagues it never ends

And shout out to all my friends with children who do this, or hide in their bathrooms or closets, to get a break from parenting. I see you-and hopefully they won’t-catch your breath.

I’m officially overwhelmed by soccer player retirement announcements can we put a pause on them please

More and more studies show that adults are taking more supplements, and those supplements can sometimes expose people to high levels of heavy metals and other toxics that can do all types of damage. Talk to your doctors and avoid consuming too much protein powder, turmeric, and red yeast rice OTC.

Aint no justice It's just us Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Time has come for most of us To choose in which God we trust. Rest in Power D’Angelo.

Thank you for this reporting @mississippitoday.org

I’ve tried to make it a point this year to go see movies in theaters more, because it’s almost always a good experience. A couple of months ago my friends and I realized a local theater has $6 tickets on Tuesdays, so now I have a proper movie club group. It’s a small but very gratifying thing.

Ban the ref cam

This is the first comprehensive list I’ve seen of federal job cuts, which really paints a picture of where we are with federal service, certain sectors of the economy, and some local job markets.

You can genuinely tell how much she cares for and respects players, understands the business side, and looks to the future as she engages people in the league. I’m all in on this.

This is exactly why years ago I started to talk to people in advocacy work about crafting messaging around more X and less Y in budgeting, rather than defunding anything. More housing, less policing for unhoused people is popular and cost-effective yet we are currently doing the opposite.

For anyone interested in learning more about the history of autism diagnoses I highly recommend watching this PBS documentary about Don Triplett, a man who received the first autism diagnosis in the US, he happens to be from Mississippi

University of Colorado is introducing Ralphie VII because Ralphie VI, aka Ember, developed an indifference to running. This is hands down the best sports story of the year. Ember, graze at your leisure you glorious feminist icon.

Okay so some people figured out yesterday that unjust decisions made by powerful people can hurt other people without power unjustly. I hope it ends up meaning something.

Looking forward to a time this weekend when I can watch The Way We Were and have a good cry.

Amon-Ra’s hamstring grab celly is nod to Lo LaBonta and you’ll never convince me otherwise

The HBCU where my husband works has received two violent threats in the last three years that shut down campus. Yesterday multiple HBCU campuses experienced shutdowns because of threats. Feeling immediate relief today that a shooter being in custody might reduce those threats, but overall not great.

I actually think blue cards would be a great addition to US soccer but only for men’s leagues 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Dude….we know some leagues and federations you can also run if you’re interested

Do we need a He Believes Cup?

The Lions did not win but it’s 73 degrees outside and I’m not caring all that much about any sports balls.

Wearing my cherry blossom janoskis around Jackson in solidarity with DC friends who demonstrated today #freeDC

I’m thrilled when I see people I know like Scott run for office in our state. He’s kind, smart, and dedicated to helping people who have long been marginalized and ignored. Excited to see what ripple effects this creates.

I’ve lived in lots of places in this country and learned long ago the most progressive people I’ll ever know are here with me in Mississippi keeping democracy alive with duct tape and the spirit of Fannie Lou Hamer.

Any of my Mississippi people [using their VPN] getting Kirk Fordice vibes from this?

Thank you for this Dr. Gounder!
