Ugh, I hate when my job involves math 🤮

And of course I'm heartbroken for Hoshoryu 😭 My boy needs a yokozuna yusho! And ditto Aonishiki - from a yokozuna run to flirting with kadoban 😬 I never want Hoshoryu to lose, but I need Aonishiki to get his kachi koshi

No shade at all to Kirishima, he's on fire and earned this yusho and promotion to ozeki. I just personally find it a little boring when the yusho is decided before the last day 🤷 But then again, I'm always hoping for bonus sumo via a play off 😂😂😂

Ugh, sumo day 8 just broke my heart and now Seattle Torrent are threatening to do the same 😭

🌸💚Good morning 💚🌸 The wind has dropped today and there's a more gentle, spring time feel to the day (so far!) #shopindie #linocut #springtime sarahrobinsondesigns.etsy.com/listing/5709...

🤼Every basho Hoshoryu has a few "I'm the goddamn yokozuna" moments and Hiradoumi's on the wrong side of this one. Hoshoryu among the leaders at 5-1, Hiradoumi falls to 4-2.

If we all join hands and sing together...im sure we can knock Tobizaru into Juryo

Listen, call me delusional and you're probably not wrong, but everyone said Hoshoryu's rope run was over when he got his third loss too and a badass playoff win saved it. So just sayin', I think Aonishiki can still do it!

Are we sure we remembered to tell Onosato and his oyakata that yokozuna are allowed to take a basho off to heal without losing their rank? I feel like we should tell them.

MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN, don't want to get my hopes up too much but things are setting up nicely for Hoshoryu this basho. Good 2-0 start while both his main rivals Onosato (0-2) and Aonishiki (1-1) have taken losses. Obviously still really early, but can't ask for a better start.

My delusional hope for how the basho ends: Hoshoryu is 14-1. His one loss is to Aonishiki. Aonishiki is 14-1. His one loss is to anyone except Onosato - he beats Onosato but loses to someone else. They go to a play off. Hoshoryu wins the play off.

The way Aonishiki handled that henka 😍😍😍

Midorifuji yikes 😬 I was kinda hoping all the "heart failure" reports were an unnuanced or mistaken translation...but then NHK highlights said cardiac arrest and this article actually sounds like congestive heart failure. news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/d99...

Oof, Middy and chat are talking shit about Trek. I may need to find a new way to watch sumo. 😭 /s...mostly lol

WEE WOO WEE WOO!!! HELL YEAH SIRENS! 🍕🐀🚨🍕🐀🚨🍕🐀🚨 But that hit O'Brien took - god DAMN. I hope she's ok! ❤️

Lmao I kind of love that the top 3 leaders in penalty minutes are Sirens. It just feels on brand for NY 😂

Aonishiki surviving that henka!

College kiddo, Hub, & I have a routine of watching NHK sumo highlights "together." Kiddo is also my fellow hockey fan. So getting to see Ura, Takayasu, Aonishiki, & Hoshoryu all win day 1, then immediately turning on the Sirens game & seeing we're up 3-1 after the 1st - we're having a good day 🥰

Drawing Sumo every Sunday until I achieve my dream of seeing it in person. My drawing of Ura flexing his crazy dench legs. Hope y'all are enjoying the March Basho!!!!!

I know it'll be freezing again in a week or so, but for today it is glorious to be able to open a window and get some fresh air! (Even if I am still chilly and wearing a hoodie 😂😂😂)

The neighborhood outdoor black cats hiding on our porch from the rain is absolutely the most on brand thing for us ever. (No worries...they're frequent visitors. They're clean, well fed, and have proper collars. So they're loved and cared for, just allowed to roam outdoors most days).

Haru Illustrated banzuke is out. This time instead of a separate banzuke combo choice you can add a discounted banzuke during checkout. thesumosoul.com

Seriously, people hating on Starfleet Academy just need to WATCH IT. It's damn near peak Trek. I CANNOT wait for next week.

I know Trek bros and SFA haters will balk at the comparison, and no spoilers! But this episode's end hit EXACTLY like the end of Best of Both Worlds part 1 the first time I saw it. Like immediately said to myself in the empty living room, "Oh this is some Best of Both Worlds shit."

Captain America Herself, Schroeder, AND Bilka on LTIR? I need all my Torrent ladies healthy 😭😭😭

I absolutely love when they play What's Up by 4 Non Blondes for a long review 😂😂😂 #pwhl

Welcome to Manda at 40 folks. Been making it up without a plan for so long, that making it up as I go IS now the plan & I'm just becoming more of an anarchocommie gender neutral swamp hag as the years march on. If you can't handle it, exit stage left. I won't be offended, but I WILL laugh at you. 🖖😘

So the best birthday present was this past weekend when A came home and then The Naughty Husband, D, A, A2, and I had a trivia night - it could only have been better if R was here too and I had all the kiddos. ❤️❤️❤️

Anyway, this is what 40 looks like and I'm not mad about it.

A rare self portrait in even more rare ink wash (as you can see, the former is rare because of how bad I am at it 😂), coupled with an Aqua Teen meme that I have been waiting literally 12 months to bust out.

NBC put up this absolutely brutal graphic 😂😂😂 US v Canada at the gold match! What's a dual citizen to do? I think for this I'll just be rooting for MPP to knock Britta Curl tf out.

NO. ONE. CARES. ABOUT. THE. MEN. WHILE. THE. WOMEN. ARE. PLAYING. FOR. FUCKS. SAKE.

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE MEN DURING A WOMEN'S HOCKEY GAME CHALLENGE.

At this point, I don't think guys should be allowed to commentate women's hockey at all, because they all suck at letting the ladies be great on their own merits. Disgusting.

I'm also going to need the dude announcers of @nbcpeacock.bsky.social and @thepwhl.com to STOP BRINGING UP CARPY'S DAD EVERY TIME SHE DOES SOMETHING WELL. We all know she comes from a hockey family. JUST LET HER KICK ASS ON HER OWN FFS.

What in the actual fuck @nbcpeacock.bsky.social no one is watching women's hockey because we want to see the couch fucker or anyone else in the admin. 🤮🤮🤮 Stfg I should have just gotten a VPN and watched a foreign feed. Fucking Peacock.

From now on when I say Captain America, I am only talking about Hilary Knight.

HOLY CRAP BABY TERUNOFUJI IN A KESHO-MAWASHI AND YOKOZUNA ROPE IS THE CUTEST FREAKING THING

Flaming hot take: My So-Called Life is an exponentially better show than Friends and should not have been cancelled after one season. Friends absolutely should have been cancelled instead.

Hot take: Goals made by Britta Curl 🤮🤮🤮 shouldn't be allowed to count. Of course, Britta Curl shouldn't even be allowed in the league, but at least it's fun to watch Pou check her #pwhl

Ugh, Ottawa and Boston are so cruel to me 😭 Especially Ottawa - you could have let us have double bonus hockey 😠 #pwhl

Don't judge me. Sumo is over & after tonight the PWHL goes on break, but there's a week until the Olympics I also have a tab for Vancouver at Minnesota, but that game hasn't started yet lol. I'm alternating my sound between the Sirens and the Torrent. Let's go all my bluegreen-clad lovelies! #pwhl

A Sibyl - 8x10 - lithograph, edition of 3 #printmaking #lithography

Gotta ask this of the nerds turned chuds too. Y'all grew up watch Star Trek, Sliders, Dr. Who, The Twilight Zone and you believe what now???

It's been asked before, but I must ask again: All the teenage punks, alts, rockers, freaks, goths, and ska lovers who grew up to be conservative racists - What machine did you think we were raging against?!

Nearly two months until it's sumo times again. Everyone try to take care of their mental healths in this difficult time.

In case anyone wasn't clear about where I stand #printmaking #lithography #leftist
