These refs are so fucking pathetic. A tech should require more than a wave. 🙄 #WNBA

Holy shit what a game! Incredible show from the Point Gawd. #WNBA

@nwslsoccer.com Raise the cap!

genuinely disgusting the expansion fees are that high and owners are quibbling over a $1m player salary cap raise

Chiney and Nneka on the draft! Love them, need Chiney to take over for Holly Rowe on those interviews. #WNBA youtu.be/vIS8SsJENsU

Fucking finally! Can’t believe Rori fell that far. Weird night. #WNBA

Friends, I am thrilled to introduce you to Valkyries Beat. This is where I will be writing about the Golden State Valkyries this season, running a full beat and -- with your help as subscribers -- back on the road. www.valkyriesbeat.com

Anthologies that @datlow.bsky.social & I co-edited are available in ebook editions here - including several volumes of adult fairy tale fiction, plus stories inspired by forest folklore, faery lore, Trickster myths, animal/human shape-shifter myths, and more. www.humblebundle.com/books/best-e...

I thought this would be a battle, not sure what’s going on with Palmeiras tonight. #TealRisingCup #NWSL

I hate it. Good luck to her though, I hope it’s worth it.

I need to know what Rhyne got!

I hope she makes them regret it. 😆 #WNBA

Pros like Brianna Turner have made it abundantly clear what women athletes need — attacking and excluding trans and intersex athletes isn't on the list.

I was worried when it started with that absolutely bullshit Ciara win, but at least it ended as it should. It doesn’t make up for not making the finale, but at least Juicy gets something! That reveal was incredible and watching her dance is always so entertaining, well deserved. #DragRace

🤮

New Taskmaster, yay! Love this cast already. Joanna is my (way too early) winner. Joel should have smashed the egg the moment Greg said no points. 😆

Yesterday, our members in New York, D.C., Chicago and across the country walked out to demand a fair contract. We deserve job security. We deserve to know AI won’t be used to replace us. We know that @propublica.org can and must do better.

The Lynx getting Nneka (and maybe Sky? She said she wants to play together “for the rest of my career”…) is incredible but I know Cheryl is fucking furious at this balloon company. 😆 #WNBA

I feel like nearly every problem with the WNBA can be tied directly to (1) the MenBA generally or (2) some specific man with too much money and too little regard for women and our brilliance, hard work, and intelligence.

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

Well, that was disappointing. I really underestimated UCLA, they killed it. Looking forward to seeing lots of these players in the W! #NCAAWBB

I did not expect Temwa to start! So excited but they better be taking care of her. #NWSL

WTF?! After that amazing run? This makes no sense. #NCAAWBB

I love Phoebe Robinson so much, and anyone with IG should check out her Geno rant. 😆 #NCAAWBB www.instagram.com/reel/DWtzUBw...

Put "I will beat Geno's ass" on a T shirt

Aww, now I really want the horsey to have the cake!

Dawn should be allowed one free swing imo

Men are so emotional and immature

Finally! This goal was wild but it counts! #NWSL

Oh fuck me, I hope it’s not as bad it looks. #NWSL

Two fucking goals and neither count, I hate this. #NWSL

Love a Chawinga goal! Til Temwa comes back I’ll take this. 😆 #UEFA #woso

Anytime I talk about racism, white leftist men show up to tell me there is ‘no war but the class war’ and all I hear is “okay but race works in my favour and wealth doesn’t so wealth must go, but race can stay.”

Anytime I talk about misogyny, white leftist men show up to tell me there is ‘no war but the class war’ and all I hear is “okay but patriarchy works in my favour and wealth doesn’t so wealth must go, but patriarchy can stay.”

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

It's been a while since I've had a link roundup with news from the queer sports front. Happy Trans Day of Visibility, please consider upgrading to a paid subscription to support an independent trans journalist tysm

It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

Happy Trans day of visibility, pals! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

2/2

Tomorrow is Trans Day of Visibility. So, make those authors visible to you, go read them all. Find yourself a new favorite author. Or more than one. Be fast, the bundle ends tomorrow.

Imagine going through *airport security* just to get on a bus! Oof.

ovid says transphobes get got

Banda doesn’t seem back up to speed, I hope she’s okay. #NWSL

I stopped listening to the podcast and blocked Sarah Spain here over her “nuance” bullshit. I haven’t seen or heard that from anyone else I follow but please let me know of any others. Trans people deserve to live their lives as they choose, including playing sports, and transphobes deserve nothing.

The thing that upsets me about this argument is that the right has been crystal clear that winning on sports is their first step towards winning on all their other legislation that eventually legislates away trans people. When we concede on sports we concede on the entire genocidal project.

UCLA was definitely the 1 seed I thought was mostly likely to get upset, but I was not expecting this. 😬 #NCAAWBB

Invading a country basically for laughs is bad, but weirdly not uncommon. Doing so with such incompetence that you alter the global balance of power against yourself is a new category of ridiculous.

Virginia had such a good run. Sad to see it end but excited to see what they’ll do next year. #NCAAWBB

I'm sorry, did this man just suggest that taking over last year's league winners, top scoring, record setting team is a REBUILDING JOB?!?! It's giving "the players are women so this job is beneath me." Leave his ass in Portland.
