Really disappointed that the @nwslsoccer.com can’t get out of their own way and have the #RodmanRule be an increase in the @nwslbot.bsky.social salary cap instead of making up a stupid, bureaucratic, and subjective limit on the number of players who can get paid more.

Halftime xG anyone? TOTBUR #COYS

🎉: We almost beat the best team in the world! 😢: We were SO CLOSE to beating the best team in the world and fell short in extra time and penalties! Lots of positives to take away and Come On You Spurs! #COYS

Any chance a Super Cup win gets us in the Champions League next year? That would be nice.

Now we need Danso to score to get a center back hat trick! COYS!

Mikey, our savior! COYS!

Watching from the oldest Irish pub in Lisbon (no Spurs supporters group in town). COYS! 🤍💙⚽️

Good try Ritchie!

Pride, Promenade, & Protests! A great day of community activity in Baltimore. Celebrating the diversity of our community, taking back our public spaces, and solidarity with all of those who are being hurt by our current Federal administration. #NoKings #ProtestIsPatriotic 🇺🇸🚫👑

“[T]he way the Trump administration treats many Americans is as a defeated enemy, not as fellow Americans.” @davidplotz.bsky.social from Political Gabfest: Why Destroy Harvard?, May 29, 2025 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p... #SlatePoliticalGabfest #PoliticalGabfest #VanquishedEnemy 1/

Come On You Spurs!

Individual choices we make (biking to work, picking up litter, buying less plastic/disposable stuff) do help the planet, but it’s our efforts to make structural changes (passing a Bottle Bill, improving the non-driving options for a city, reducing impervious surface) that really bring about change.

Grateful I got to meet with staff from the offices of @alsobrooks.senate.gov, @hoyer.house.gov, Rep. Kweisi Mfume, and @vanhollen.senate.gov‘s staff today (and briefly with @repkweisimfume.bsky.social himself) about the impact that the funding cuts are having on tuberculosis treatment. #TBHillDay

Spent this afternoon at GWU learning more about Tuberculosis to be an effective advocate when meeting with staff for my Congressional representatives tomorrow. The federal funding cuts to domestic and international public health, and particularly TB, are having devastating effects. #TBHillDay

Grateful to see so many friends out at protests in Baltimore, D.C., Denver, and around the country. More things going wrong than could fit on our sign but it’s essential to speak out in multiple ways (demonstrations, letters, calls, etc.). #HandsOff

Loved hearing @elaineweissauthor.bsky.social speak about her new book “Spell Freedom” at the Pratt Library with #BlackGirlsVote last night. Stunned her talk at the Carter Library was cancelled. Clearly need to bring Citizenship Schools back. www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv... elaineweiss.com

Way to go Spirits! #NWSL @washingtonspirit.com

@marthawells.com’ Murderbot series is one of my favorites and I’m curious how it will translate to TV. I’m surprised they didn’t pick a more androgynous leading character given how important that non-gendered status is in the book. In meantime I’d highly recommend reading the books/audiobooks.

Foreign aid, esp. around TB, HIV, and malaria, is an essential investment in our future. Illness and poverty create major health, military, economic, and refugee challenges. We should provide aid because reducing suffering is the right thing, but it’s also a good strategic choice for the US.

I was inspired to read “The Saint of Bright Doors” after a character in @kevinhearne.bsky.social’s latest book (“Candle and Crow”) read it. It is an amazing novel of fantasy and magical realism, different than anything else I’ve ever read. I’m now reading “Phantom Plague” about tuberculosis and… 1/7

Thrilled the Enoch Pratt Library has Everything Is Tuberculosis by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social now in their @libbyapp.bsky.social. I’m looking forward to getting my preordered signed copy, but it’s SO much easier to read when you always have the book with you, and this is an important book.

This will be the first time in a couple decades that I haven’t attended the Transportation Research Board’s Annual Meeting. But I’m going to be coming down some of the evenings and hope to connect with friends in town. Also looking forward to all the #TRB multimodal commentary on @bsky.app #TRBAM
